Drug Addiction Programs That Offer Sobriety

By Disa Mona


For many people, this year will mark a new lifestyle. Many people will enter into a rehab program this year in order to get help from an alcohol or drug problem. There are over 18,000 drug rehabs in America alone. Many men and women choose to fly into Florida in order to get treatment. Florida is known for its 30, 60 and 90 day treatment programs. Thousands of people from around the world see rehab as being a life changing moment. However, what actually happens in a rehab? For first timers, this process is often scary. You are asked to go into a program that houses you for 30 days or more. You have to put your trust in a staff that you do not know.

A lot of parents worry about their child in rehab. The odds are that your child is not going to get sober the first time out. Unfortunately, many men and women that go into rehab have to go back a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time. It all depends on the person and if they are really choosing sobriety over addiction. People often go into rehab because one of their family members told them that they must go. Addicts often feel like they have to go because someone else told them to go. Even though this act has good intent, the addict must really want to get sober to. Many addicts that go into rehab often come out and go back to doing drugs again. Many parents want to blame the rehab program. However, it is not the programs fault. It is because your son/daughter was not ready to get sober.

Life is not easy when it comes to battling an addiction. Many addicts say that they don't want to struggle anymore with their addiction. They would rather be drug and alcohol free. It is a wise choice to tell someone what you are experiencing. The worst thing that an addict can do is to hold back their true emotions and feelings. Most addicts will tell you that it's not easy to hold back what they are feeling inside of their heart. They find that when they are expressive, amazing things begin to happen to them. They begin to see the light and work on the differences inside of their heart.

Putting faith in with your sobriety makes complete sense. Addicts often feel unloved and unwanted. When they go into a faith based program, they want to help themselves. Most addiction programs give the addict books and religious material to read. You can really learn how to kick your addiction one step at a time. When you begin to overcome your obstacles in life, you actually learn how to overcome the pain and sorrow inside of your life. Let go and let God. God is the one person in your life that can help you.

When you are sitting in group therapy, talk about your childhood and traumatic things that may have happened to you. You may find that others in the same group experienced the same thing. Many addiction counselors find that people tend to get addicted to drugs when they are trying to run from a thought or memory. It is common to hear about people getting addicted to drugs and alcohol. Today's world is extremely chaotic for most people. Most rehabs teach that you must have some sort of faith in order to break free from your addiction.
