Addiction recovery is ongoing. It will be a continuous struggle in the beginning stages. It gets better though, becoming a matter of day-to-day maintenance instead of conscious choices throughout the day. You will find that you have to refer to the lessons learned in recovery less and less. Instead of choices, you will have developed habits. No longer will you be consciously choosing to avoid drugs. You will be living a life style of drug rehabilitation.

You will want to quit in the beginning. That is natural and shouldn’t discourage you. Of course you can’t quit. But don’t let the desire to quit bother you too much. The beginning is the hard work. This is where the foundation is laid for the habits of rehabilitation. Hard work now will develop the habits you use throughout your addiction recovery program and beyond.

Our treatment center struggles as well. We struggle to overcome recoveries biggest myth: Addiction can be overcome alone. Every addict who tries it ends up in relapse. We know because we hear their stories when they eventually come to an addiction treatment facility and get real rehabilitation.

Attempting recovery on your own can be disastrous. When you relapse it can be to w place that is worse off than where you started. You wouldn’t perform surgery on yourself; you’re health would be the worse for it. You wouldn’t try to repair a bridge on your own; it would likely end up rubble in the water. These are jobs that require great knowledge. They are also jobs that require cooperation and teamwork. We have the knowledge that is necessary for the job of addiction recovery. We are also available to be a part of you team. The team that will help you get to substance abuse recovery.
