You lost control in your life to addiction long ago. It started as a bit of recreational use and experimentation. It quickly took over until you had to have the source of your addiction every day to get by. You’re at the point now that you can’t make it through the day without relying on your addiction. Your friends, co-workers, and family have begged you to get help. You hate what addiction has done to you. You don’t want to hurt yourself or the people you love anymore. You are ready to begin a treatment program, but you don’t know how to start.
You wonder, “Can I go to a residential drug treatment program if I’m not clean yet?” Far too many victims of addiction think they have to be sober before they can walk through the doors of a drug treatment program. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Treatment professionals want you to come to your treatment program where and as you are right now. Their priority is to work with you on your path to sober living. The staff members know how difficult it is to break free from substance abuse. They don’t expect you to do it alone. That’s why they’re here.
Residential Drug Treatment is All About Giving You a Support System
When addiction is a part of your life, you can’t just turn it off like a light switch. The source of your addiction has caused a chemical change in your brain and a physical dependency. If you have ever tried stopping by yourself, you’ve learned how hard it is to walk away. You tell yourself you don’t want it anymore. Your mind and body tell you another story. Withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous, pushing you to use more of the source of your addiction in an effort to feel better. Don’t put yourself through these challenges by yourself.
A residential drug treatment program will give you the resources you need to be successful. When you enter a residential drug treatment program, it’s about more than closing the door on the source of your addiction. Your program offers you:
- A safe living space that removes you from temptation and negative influences
- Skilled, caring professionals to support you
- Time to focus on your recovery
- Therapy sessions with a counselor to focus on your needs
- A plan of action for your future
- A community of clients facing similar struggles
During your course of treatment, you will become clean and sober. Staff members will help you in every way possible to ease your discomfort, work through your fears, and give you a hand to hold. You may have walked in while you were still under the control of the source of your addiction. You will be in charge when you walk out. Choosing a residential drug treatment program means making a commitment to yourself. You need to place yourself in the right kind of environment while you are surrounded by positive influences. All of your energy will be spent on getting well.
You also find out why addiction became such a powerful force in your life. As you learn healthy alternatives to deal with life’s challenges, you will learn you are more powerful than your addiction. Your counseling sessions will combine individual sessions and group sessions to help you find solutions in your life. You may have problems that seem like they are too big for you to handle. Your drug treatment professionals will help you to cut them down to size.
