What better way to deal with addiction then addiction treatment? It sounds simple, but like the saying goes, “common sense isn’t always commonâ€. A sad fact about addictions is that people don’t always make the best decisions about what to do with them. Kimberly was one of those people. She was always a good girlfriend which made it easy to tell that something was wrong when she got addicted. Kim used to be good at calling and checking in. It was like clockwork especially if I was running late. We were lucky with the way we found out that she was hooked, because she was just always there checking on everyone, and then, one day, she wasn’t.
Kimberly’s absence from her daily routine was the least of our worries, however. Once I found out about her addiction and I had brought it to her attention that I knew, Kim went into uber-denial mode. I tried to let her know that I didn’t care about the addiction and that I just wanted to get her help. It was quite a struggle, but we finally made it happen. And that’s when I realized that sometimes people with addictions would rather spend the rest of their lives trying to hide them then getting the addiction treatment they need
