I appreciate your series on relapse prevention. I’ve got a brother that’s been an on and off prescription medication addict for the past 5 years as a result of a serious back injury. Your content has provided me with a better understanding of what he’s going through.

I do like the way you have framed this particular problem plus it does supply me personally some fodder for thought. Nonetheless, from everything that I have seen, I just simply hope when the comments pack on that people today keep on point and in no way get started on a soap box of the news du jour. All the same, thank you for this superb point and even though I can not concur with the idea in totality, I respect your point of view.

Inspired. Overcoming a chemical dependency is tough for the families, not only the addict. Keep up the good work.

Addiction’s are a serious thing, I guess the first step is to realise there’s one and then put steps in place to prevent them from taking over, i’m addicted to building models of just about anything.

This is a great site for a broad range of addiction information. I really think that education is a key in helping others with this problem. Just remember, it is possible to get clean! It can work! All you have to do is put a plan into action.

Treatment programs come in different approaches and methods that can help someone to end substance abuse and addiction. However, not all treatments are not applicable to all. In other words, a particular treatment may work to one person, but it doesn’t mean it is effective for everybody. You have to check first if the treatment is fit to your physical and emotional condition. Aside from that, there are many issues to think about when selecting the right method that can help you. It means the compatibility to a treatment is the best thing to considered when looking for an effective and reliable program.

The ultimate goal for everyone is that after drug treatment and once the person is in drug addiction recovery, they remain clean and independent from their former lifestyle. Of course, as with so many other areas in life, understanding what the person is dealing with is the ultimate beginning to the road to recovery. Unfortunately, most people do not realize that if a person is in a drug addiction recovery program or alcohol rehab program, that it is a very serious and complex situation not to be taken lightly. What might have begun as a “rite of passage” for a young adult can turn into a life of hell on earth as they battle just to stay alive.
Finally, when a person is an addict, it is very important for their treatment that they realize they are not alone. Addiction has become a national epidemic and it’s not only the addict’s problem, but society’s problem as well.

I say you have to keep pushing yourself to create an awesome life for yourself, one in which you help others with your personal strengths. If you can attend meetings and give advice to newcomers, then that is great. But if you can push yourself to go further than this and really make use of your skills, then that is where the real growth can occur. Everybody wins when you push yourself to reach out to others in a way that is unique to you. This is a huge part of finding your path in recovery.

Those who are experiencing good things in recovery tend to experience more good things, in other areas of their life. The process is holistic. Negativity is a disease that will drag you down. Thus, you have to find the motivation to be positive and remain positive in order to make good things happen in your life. Once the ball is rolling, more growth becomes easier to achieve. Trying to add too much “success” all at once is probably a bad strategy. Mastering one positive change at a time can be very empowering, however. For example, stop using drugs and alcohol, then find some stability. Then, start exercising again. Go slow and achieve a rhythm in your life. Master one positive change at a time, or risk being overwhelmed in early recovery.

This is a great site for a broad range of addiction information. Being a recovering heroin/cocaine addict of 15+ years I really think that education is a key in helping others with this problem. Just remember, it is possible to get clean! It can work! All you have to do is put a plan into action.

I believe that to steer kids or teens away from drugs is to give them extracurricular activities like ballet dancing for girls, baseball for boys or self defense techniques fro both. Personally, I let my kids train in self defense because you know the world is getting more and more dangerous each passing day that I feel it’s vital that they can defend themselves. I worry less and they are much more secure and protected. Keeping them busy on more fruitful things makes them think less of drugs and puts them in better company too.
