Why 12 step programs don't work.

In Drug Rehab, Learn it All!

February 5th, 2008 by Terry Keith

Let's face it.  Sometimes we all can just be a little lazy.  We all like shortcuts or faster ways to do things.  What you do in a drug rehab center is not one of these times.  There are situations in our lives where maybe we do not need a great foundation of understanding.  Someitmes just knowing what to do will work.  You do not have to know why it works, and why it is the right step.

Do not cut corners in drug rehab.  There are going to be lots of challenges in your life.  There are going to be lots of unforseen circumstances after you leave a drug rehab center.  In these tougher moments, rules may not cut it.  Cute phrases will seem hollow and not much support.  It is it the most fluid and surprising hurdles of life, that understanding of the real principles of what you learned in a rehab center will make the difference. 

If you are in a tough situation and you know uncontrolled stress is the number one culprit in relapse, you will make better choices.  You will control your stress level first and deal with the situation second.  That might seem contrary to the first idea of fixing the problem in front of you first.  It is a corny phrase, but knowledge is power.  Take the time to learn if right is drug rehab.  Don't just learn the "rules".  Learn why the rules work!
