Getting Sober In Rehab

By Jason MacE


Drug addiction is powerful. Many men and women that used to take drugs say that they are now free. It is always good to hear someone say that they are no longer addicted to a substance that is killing people all over the world. Street drugs like heroin, cocaine and alcohol are causing many people to go into a rehab program. The body often gets addicted to these drugs and one must seek the counsel of a detox and treatment center to help them off the drug. The drug is so powerful that most people cannot overcome this alone. It is difficult to imagine yourself moving ahead with getting more results. If you think about it, you will be able to see new beginnings with your life in a rehab program.

You will find that there are many people struggling through the same life changes as you are. There are literally thousands of people that struggle every single day from alcohol and drug addiction. Once you figure out that you have what it takes to overcome this battle, you can get stronger. You will be assigned a counselor while you are in rehab. Here, you will get to talk about your persona problems and what is causing you to struggle. Your counselor will more than likely have a master's degree in alcoholism and drug addiction. Many counselors today have a history in addiction themselves. They understand what you are going through because they have struggled with it themselves.

Until your son or daughter wants to get help, it is going to be hard for them to get the help that they need. Many addicts like to stay quiet during group therapy in fear of expressing their thoughts and feelings. It is important for addicts to know that there is no miracle cure for their addiction. It is something that they choose to work on. Many faith based programs for drug/alcohol say that you must have faith in order to overcome addiction. Even the great Bill Wilson (Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous) said that he could not overcome addiction without his faith. When he had a spiritual encounter with Jesus Christ, it changed his life forever.

It is important to ask yourself what matters the most to you and why. It is important to look at yourself and figure out what is going to happen in the long process of things. If you are like me, you probably want to get ahead in life. You are expecting things to change for the better. Many addicts go through a transitional stage in which they want to change. It must come from your heart. When you are in group therapy, make sure to talk about your feelings and what you want to see happen. It is important to have a lot of love and a care with people that want change. It is important to see yourself as being the person that enjoys growing into recovery.

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.
