Helping The Drug User - What Is Generosity

From SystersWiki

Pay now or pay later. In most cases, the expense of fixing something is far less if done sooner. This couldn't be truer in any area than in detox rehab treatment. Just look at how much easier it would have been to stop the drug problem in its infancy. What if you could go back to the beginning of the problem and handle it there? How much easier would it be?

She posted comments on twitter saying that she had nothing else to live for and posted pictures of the gun she took her life with. Sadly, know one tried to talk her out of it.

However, addiction is a human condition designed to keep us alive. Think about the attraction we have to our mother's teat, returning again and again for the sweet milk provided with a warm and soothing touch. This natural addictive process melds with our innate need to alter perception, and it explains why these two create a very potent combination that is the precursor of all addiction.

You do not expect to start an alcohol addiction treatment program if you are not ready to acknowledge that you are addicted to alcohol. If you cannot stay for more than a few hours without looking for a drink or your family members and friends keep on telling you that you need to control your drinking then it's high time you admit you have a problem. Once you realize you have a problem, it will be much easier for you to get a solution.

Once a center that suits their needs is found the next step is getting them to accept help. They may need to get to the treatment center first for examination. Some alcoholic addiction cases need intensive attention than others.

Focus and drive to get better - When one admits himself in a alcoholism treatment facility, it means that he is serious in getting well. He has finally accepted that he has a problem and needs help. This is the start of every treatment process - accepting that you are sick and needs to get better.

Once you have admitted that an addiction exists, you should think about the importance of professional help. If your addictions have put you into a life threatening condition, you should seek out a drug addiction treatment center or rehabilitation clinic. There are several options - a 'live-in' program for long term rehab or an outpatient program. Both approaches have their benefits and their drawbacks. You should think about asking for a doctor's opinion.

An ultimatum if you're serious and ready to follow through may be all that it takes to convince him to accept help. If you decide to hold an intervention, however, you must be prepared. An intervention is not a confrontation, but if handled poorly it can turn into one. The smartest way to hold an intervention is with the help of a professional. Once you find a treatment program they can assist you.
