What is drug and alcohol addiction? In drug and alcohol rehab programs what can you learn? Firstly, I believe you can learn that addicition, like all things in life is a learned repsonse. Most likely you learned it from other addicts or from other people using drugs and alcohol. Before you used any drug or alcohol someone told you what to expect. Someone told you where you could find alcohol and drugs. Other people showed you how to use it. How to mix it and with what. You learned your favorite places to consume. You learned ways to hide your addiction. You learned creative ways to finance the costs of drug and alcohol use. Nobody was inately born with the abillity to inject heroin.

The key to sobriety is learning the tools to stay clean. You learn the ways to walk away from situations that would lead to drug use. In a drug and alcohol rehab center you can learn ways to to cope with stress and develop the feelings you want in your life, without using drugs and alcohol. A good alcohol and drug rehab program is about education. Learning new skills. Practising sobreity.
