Drug addiction is a national epidemic. Factor in deaths due to indirect causes, such as heart disease and liver failure, and the number is easily well over 100,000. Drug and alcohol addiction costs the economy billions each year. The right drug and alcohol treatment program can save your life, improve your community, and help you regain a loving and trusting relationship with your family. Here’s everything you need to know to choose the best alcohol and drug treatment rehab for your needs.
One of the great tragedies of addiction is that it keeps itself going by convincing the addict to lie to themselves. Addicts live in a state of permanent denial, convinced that even the most maladaptive behavior is normal, or not related to the addiction.

It also makes it easier for the addict to keep using, allowing the addiction to get much worse and much more out of control than it otherwise would.

Detox can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks and requires complete and total sobriety. Using even once will restart the process. Symptoms usually peak at 3-5 days, after substances have completely exited the body. From there, symptoms typically slowly and steadily get better. Eventually, detox symptoms disappear altogether, making it much easier to avoid using.
Inpatient treatment may be best if:
Outpatient treatment may be best if:

Put simply, it’s not just about detox. Quality addiction treatment is about preparing you to lead a happy, meaningful life, free of alcohol and drugs, for the rest of your life. You should leave treatment feeling excited about the life that waits for you.
