Life will help you make decisions in one of two ways. Either you will get the “subtle” hints it throws you or if you wait long enough, it will force you into a choice. Drug addiction treatment is no different. If your life is in rough enough shape, you will either willingly choose to go to a rehab facilty, or through some sort of intervention, you will be forced into a drug rehab.

I guess the main difference between these two is how much damage do you want the drug and alocohol abuse to cause before you consider rehab. If you wait until life forces you into making a change, the damage will be much greater, and the result is usually poorer in treatment. By making the choice yourself you usually insure a better result. Why? Simply you will have more options so the odds of finding a better one is higher. By waiting until the “law” or massive and dire finanacial straits force you into a rehab, your choices will be so few that the chance of a great match is lower.

In this discussion we always will talk about fundamental solutions to drug addiction and mention drug and alcohol rehabs that deal with treating the fundamental causes. This means a willingness to change by the person seeking treatment. Addiction is not a disease, it can be beaten permanently. Drug addiction treatment does however require a total willingness to change. Force cannot do this. Make the choice for a better life. Make the choice to enter a rehab facility before the courts or life leaves you with no choice.
