Personal treatment for a personal disease

Suki — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:53:57 +0000

Private drug rehab isn’t a generic process. Addiction, after all, is an intensely personal disease, one that never afflicts any two victims in quite the same way. If you’re going to beat it, it’s going to have to be on your own terms, not someone else’s. The best drug rehabilitation centers are those which cater to the unique individual needs of their unique individual patients, with exclusive drug rehab programs designed and administered on a case-by-case basis. In fact, drug rehab simply can’t succeed on any terms other than those.

The search for a drug rehab facility can be a daunting process. Given the sheer number of drug rehabs in Malibu, some prospective patients assume that ever center must be or less the same. But nothing could be further from the truth. The plain fact of the matter is that drug rehab is a delicate art form. It can only be effective if it’s administered the right way, with empathy and expertise. The right drug rehab center will quite literally change your life. It’s up to you to find it.

Los Angeles–where a huge recovery community exists.

I live in Los Angeles, where the recovery community is huge. There are literally thousands of recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. I know hundreds of people who have been through drug rehabilitation. Some got clean and sober through a 12-step program, some did it cold turkey (no thank you!) but most of them went through an alcohol or drug rehab center. I know couples whoâ€™ve been married for years, with kids and houses, that met in a drug rehab. Sounds corny, but I think it’s cool. They met when they were at their most vulnerable, and also when they were asking for help. Rehab can be a magical place like that. I know tons of life-long friends who met in rehab. People that started bands, companies, wrote movies together; all of it. Mostly, addicts and alcoholics are creative, smart people and sometimes in rehab they meet, and decide to be creative together. I think thatâ€™s so cool. When I was in rehab, I met a lot of sweet people, and some crazy people, but mostly fun to be around people who, just like me, had addictions that needed to be taken care of. It was such a good time, rehab, because what happened afterwords is I got my life back, as did the hundreds of recovering addicts I know.

…so far gone from my addiction

Go to a drug rehab center and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I went to one for my addiction to crack and it turned me back into a human. For real. I wasn’t really sure if the drug treatment I received was going to work for me, but by the time I got there I was ready for anything. I couldn’t tell if I thought that the drug rehab itself just wouldn’t work or if it was because I was so far gone from my addiction. I tried telling myself that if I was going to a drug rehab center that I was destined to get healthy again. I was constantly reminding myself that the programs at the drug rehab center were made to take on the toughest cases of addiction and guide them back to sobriety. I wanted to believe it so bad, but something in me continued to remain skeptical. I was literally afraid that if drug rehab didn’t work that I would be a dead man in no time. I kept imagining myself coming out of the drug rehab center not feeling any different and then eventually returning to my old ways before dying as a junkie in the street. Well, after six years of sobriety I can tell you that I was dead wrong.

We are our own masters.

This is what I learned during my time at a drug treatment center: We are our own masters. It sounds corny, I know…and I guess maybe it is corny, coming from a guy who was so hooked on junk that he had to swallow his pride and enroll in a drug treatment center program…but itâ€™s the truth. And anyone who doesnâ€™t get it doesnâ€™t stand one chance in a million of ever getting sober.

The point of drug treatment centers isnâ€™t to do the hard work for you. You donâ€™t check into a drug treatment center and then just wait to get healed; you work for it, and you fight for it, and you struggle in a way that makes you realize youâ€™d never understood what â€œstruggleâ€ really meant.

But hereâ€™s the the thing: It works. And when you get to the end, you get that it works because of you.

Beating drug addiction in a drugÂ rehab centerÂ is about effort, and about will. Yeah, you need help to get clean…but youâ€™ve got to be the one to use that help, to make it matter. You are your own master, in the end. If you want your drug treatment center program to work for you, it will. Because youâ€™ll make it work. Nothing else could ever be more important than that.

The healed must be their own healers

You want to know whatâ€™s what about drug rehab? Drug rehab works when drug rehab patients want it to work. Thatâ€™s the most important truth about drug rehab, and drug rehab centers: the healed must be their own healers. If you want drug rehab to work for you, youâ€™ve got make the thing go.

But how, right?: How can you, as a drug rehab patient, make drug rehab work for you, and how can you ensure that your time in a drug rehab center helps you get where you want to go? The simple answer: Youâ€™ve got to commit yourself to the drug rehab process, and resolve to be an active agent in your own drug rehab recovery.

Again, drug rehab works when drug rehab patients want it to work, and when drug rehab patients make it work. Drug rehab isnâ€™t a spectator sport: Getting sober, in the end, is and must be the product of active vigilance and determined effort. If drug rehabâ€™s going to succeed, you as a drug rehab patient have to learn everything there is to know about the drug rehab process…and then youâ€™ve got to commit yourself to putting your wisdom to good use at a drug rehab center.

Remember, your drug rehab destiny is in your hands. How you shape it is up to you.

Drug rehab: If you or someone you love is hooked on drugs, there’s nothing more important in your life. Bottom line: No one beats drug addiction without drug rehab. No one. You canâ€™t get better on your own. You canâ€™t get better outside of a drug treatment center. If youâ€™re trying to beat drug addiction, drug rehab is the only chance youâ€™ve got.

But believe me: Thatâ€™s good news, because drug rehab can work for you. Thatâ€™s the truth, as hard as it might be to believe. Drug rehab works for millions of Americans every year. Drug addicts get better, drug treatment saves lives. If you play your cards right, yours might just be one of them.

But how, then?: How does anybody go about â€œplaying his cards rightâ€? What makes drug rehab work when it works? And what makes drug rehab fails it fails? In other words: What does a guy have to do if he wants to get saved?

There are, of course, days worth of answers to those questions, but hereâ€™s the first one, and maybe the most important one: Youâ€™ve got to want it. If drug rehabâ€™s going to work for you, youâ€™ve got to want drug rehab to work for you. If drug treatmentâ€™s going to help you get sober, youâ€™ve got to want drug treatment to help you get sober. If youâ€™re going to beat drug addiction, and rediscover life as it used and could and ought to be…

You get the idea.

A simple truth: No drug addict ever gets better without drug rehab. Another simple truth: No drug rehab program is ever successful unless an addict wills it to be so. Yes, you need help to beat drug addiction, but that help only matters to the extent that you say it does. No drug treatment center in the world can get you where you want to go if you donâ€™t play an active role in the healing process.

So whatâ€™s the rub here? Sobriety can happen, but only if you commit yourself to bringing it into being. And really: What choice do you have? Youâ€™re here. You know whatâ€™s at stake. You know that more of the same just wonâ€™t cut it anymore. The good news: Drug rehab can help you. The better news: You can help yourself. Let today be the day you take tomorrow into your own hands.
