Going to drug and alcohol rehab will involve learning some new skills. For some people this may involve having to learn, how to learn. Some clients have dropped out of school early. Some clients did poorly in school. Even those who have done well in the past can always learn a few pointers about how to get the most out of any educational, or learning situation.

Some of the obvious things are simple, like come prepared. If there is reading to be done beforehand, do it. Arrive a few minutes early, with any required materials. Participate actively. Don’t judge any exercises or sessions before you actually try them to the best of your ability. Don’t be afraid to feel a little uncomfortable.

There are actually a lot of things you can do to maximize your ability to learn. A great site with a tremendous amount of information on this subject is Studyguides and Strategies. Lots of suggestions for preparation and organization to really get the most out of what is presented. Definately worth a look whether you are fast learner or not.
