While I was away on my business trip, I found myself in the hotel room one night with nothing to keep me occupied except the TV. I caught an episode of Intervention, which I actually stopped watching a few months ago, because it’s just such a SAD show! I’ve known people wrapped up in drugs before, and people seem to think they’ll never be that addict who turns his back on his family, his friends, the guy who loses his house, the guy who gets fired for his drug problem, the guy who pawns his TV for $50 to buy crack. I always get so excited at the end of the show when people enter rehab and come out clean and sober, and I hope they can stay that way.
This drug addiction treatment website offers a way to find a drug treatment program for yourself or someone you love. It’s a referral service that can put you in touch with the right kind of program, be it long term or short term, inpatient or outpatient. The service is a non profit organization, and it’s free as well, and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The site also offers tools to obtain financing for rehab, because most people don’t have the deep pockets of the celebrities we see entering rehab. You’ll also find links on the different types of addition: alcohol, drugs (both illegal and prescription) and how to help your loved one to prevent a relapse once they complete treatment.
Finding the right type of program can make a huge difference in the addict and their ability to get clean, so getting the right type of program is key to recovery, and making a change in your life, as well as the life of your loved ones.
