Getting Sober In Rehab

By Lita Jones


For many people, this year will mark a new lifestyle. Many people will enter into a rehab program this year in order to get help from an alcohol or drug problem. There are over 18,000 drug rehabs in America alone. Many men and women choose to fly into Florida in order to get treatment. Florida is known for its 30, 60 and 90 day treatment programs. Thousands of people from around the world see rehab as being a life changing moment. However, what actually happens in a rehab? For first timers, this process is often scary. You are asked to go into a program that houses you for 30 days or more. You have to put your trust in a staff that you do not know.

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.

Treatment is never an easy decision. Most rehabs say that it takes an addict 2 or more times to get sober. Most addicts that attend a rehab program often end up going back. It is never easy to break an addiction. Addictions often make the addict feel powerful and free from everyday problems. Most families and friends of addicts don't want to see their loved one living in the street or feel a sense of sadness in their life. They often want their lives to get better and to watch them grow into a period of peace. Having peace from within is the best way for people to experience trust and new beginnings in their life.

It is always a wise choice to see a person's life beginning to unfold for the better. Most people today say that they want to see change and seldom change. When you are in rehab, you have to learn how to express yourself. Learning how to tell someone how you feel is a big choice. You have to look at your own heart and try to understand why change is so important. I think that change is important because you are having to always look out for yourself. Learning how to watch yourself move into a new direction is necessary. Learn how to do group therapy and solving your problems with people that want to experience freedom like you.

Many addicts say that the first step is the hardest. Most addicts find that overcoming an addiction takes time and many years of experience. If you want to overcome any addiction, you have to ask someone to help you. Getting help for an addiction is not always easy. Many men and women spend years trying to overcome their battle with drugs. It is okay if you have your doubts about making it in a program. Express those thoughts with your counselor. They are going to want to know everything that you are feeling and experiencing inside of your heart. What matters the most if that you are honest with yourself.
