Even Good Change can be Tough Change!
September 21st, 2008 by Terry Keith
Drug and alcohol rehab is about positive change. There is lots of motivation to move past drug and alcohol abuse. Leaving the financial woes of addiction behind is something to be dreamed about. Living a life on the safe side of the law and not worriying about the constant fear on paranoia of arrest is certainly something anybody would want. Having your body return to health and vibrancy is again something of a no brainer. Who would not want to be more healthy?
With so many positive reasons why is it still so difficult to move past drugs and alcohol? One is simply that change, any change is difficult. Once we learn something, we like to do things the way we know how. Doing them differently feels uncomfortable and clumsy. It feels that way in the beginning for everyone. While many of us are are certainly more adept at change, it is still at least moderately uncomfortable for even the most experienced at change. So the key may lie in expecting it to be uncomfortable. Know that if you are feeling uncomfortable it is a sign that you are actually changing. It is in fact a bit of proof of your effort. If you are not feeling something you are probably not changing!

Good post…..rehab should be about the positives and not the negative past. It seems like so many centers sit people down, and get them even more depressed than they already are. A rehab center should sit yu down and explain the positive addiction free lifestyle that you are going to have.

Although this is an older post, I still would like to comment on the accuracy of its information and how useful it would be in various rehabilitation settings. Changing is very difficult and if there is no obstacle during the process then it is likely that no significant progress is being made.
Very perceptive.

The drug treatment centers bring about this positive change through effective personal and mental counseling. Hence they are the first place that an addict would want to get admitted to in order to ward off his addiction symptoms.

It is true that rehab is not easy and fun as what you think but this is the best place for people who want to live in a normal life and be back in a community. drug rehab
