Few things are more debilitating than a drug or alcohol addiction. Unfortunately, millions of people in the country are currently suffering from its crippling effects. However, there comes a point when a drug and/or alcohol user needs to avail of the services of a facility that can help them get the treatment they deserve.
But this begs the question – when is rehab a good idea?
It’s true that we all have different definitions of what we consider “rock bottom,” but that’s essentially when a prospective addict should start considering certified drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Of course, no person wants to experience the lowest of lows, but it’s integral to the rehabilitation process. Without reaching this point – as many proponents of rehabilitation state – there’s reason to believe that it won’t work as effectively.
This is true for a number of reasons. Chiefly, many patients won’t take rehabilitation as seriously as they should. They’ll feel as if they’re “not that bad” or “my addiction isn’t as serious as the specialists are making it out to be.” While this sentiment assuredly can ring true of those who have experienced the aforementioned “rock bottom,” it’s much less so of those people who clearly understand that they are in the advanced stages of the dreaded disease of addiction.
As earlier stated, all drug addictions aren’t quite the same, much like many drug treatment centers. However, it’s imperative that the patient (or a close friend or relative) understands that the drug and/or alcohol abuser has reached a point where only a certified specialist can help.
