Rehab Drug Centers

Rehab Drug Centers: "

Thank you for visiting Rehab Drug Centers. If you are reading this then you know all to well the seriousness of drug and alcohol addiction. Either you yourself have been through this mental and physical hell, or know someone close that has either beat it, currently seeking help, or is in complete denial. I guess there is one additional category. The person that knows they have a problem but simply does not want to get sober. Whatever the case we are here to help. We don't have all of the answers but having been through this myself, I do know that it always helps to hear from someone that understands.



Addiction Specialists



Before I go any further let me state that I am not a doctor, nor am I a certified addiction specialist. So please seek professional help with your decision. Again, I am here to give my opinion only as someone who has been there. Prior to making any final decisions please search the following terms to help locate someone with the proper credentials in addiction drug abuse.



* addiction counseling

* master addiction counselor

* alcohol and counselor certification

* addiction specialists

* substance abuse professional



If you are not able to locate a doctor, counselor, or professional in your area then you may be forced to seek help out of your local area. However, depending on where you reside will obviously determine what options are available.



Please also feel free to leave a comment and I will help anyway I can in helping you find a professional in your area.



Drug Rehab Help



When it comes to drug addiction there are several ways to go about cleaning up, and getting your life back on track. In my opinion there are two choices in getting drug rehab help. You can choose to detox on your own, which I highly discourage, or you can seek out drug treatment clinics. Again, having tried both on my own I recommend seeking professional help through a drug rehab center, or drug treatment clinics in the area.

Affordable Drug Rehab Treatment Vs Luxury Treatment Centers - And Everything In Between Posted By: Ron Prosky

Affordable Drug Rehab Treatment Vs Luxury Treatment Centers - And Everything In Between Posted By: Ron Prosky: "Most recovering addicts - or 'ex-addicts' as some choose to term it - prefer to keep their personal struggles with addiction as quiet as possible when dealing with the general public. In the interest of drawing an important example, however, I will disclose one key element pertaining to my own previous struggles with substance abuse. Looking back from when I first reached the point in my addiction that required admission to rehab, to my very last treatment center not too terribly long ago, one consistency boldly stands out. As the years and numerous trips to rehab went by, the level of posh AND luxury progressively diminished. From private accommodations and 5-star cuisine to skid row shelters and army cots in a gymnasium-type setting, my affluent upbringing and formal education became nothing more than a distant memory.

Today, I have the fortune of not only living a life beyond my wildest dreams, but the experience of having had numerous opportunities to work in various formal and informal addiction treatment settings, all of which have played an integral role into who I am today. "

5 signs that someone you know may need alcohol rehab

5 signs that someone you know may need alcohol rehab: "

alcohol


You can’t expect an individual to stand up and declare “I need help from an alcohol rehab program!” The majority of those who have an alcohol addiction are likely to be in a state of deep denial about the true nature of their problem – and may fall deeper and deeper into a downward spiral as a result.


Therefore, it is up to family and friends to recognize the signs of alcoholism so that they can get their loved ones the help they need.


The following are five of the most common signs that someone needs alcohol rehab treatment.



  1. Poor performance at work or school. Those who struggle with alcoholism may see a rapid drop off in classroom performance as well as on the job. Many individuals who are drinking at work will be unable to focus on the tasks at hand and will fall behind in the general work flow.

  2. Drinking at socially unacceptable times. Alcoholics will drink throughout the course of the day and well into the night. They are more likely to drink alone, and may keep consuming alcohol even when the rest of their peer group has stopped. Look for hidden “stashes” of alcohol around the house.

  3. Encounters with the law. Alcoholics tend to put themselves and others at risk with the law. Driving while intoxicated or engaging in fist-fights are just two of the ways those with an alcohol addiction can run afoul of the law.

  4. Exhibits depression or other mental health issues. Almost half of those individuals who suffer from an alcohol addiction are also suffering from a serious mental health issue. Be mindful of the symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other illnesses – as they may accompany alcoholism.

  5. Has relationship troubles. Some alcoholics become abusive when they drink – leading to physical altercations with their spouse or significant other. Many alcoholics simply withdraw into a shell – closing down the lines of communication and harming their relationship in the process.
