If you use alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription drugs in a way that shows increased use over time, negative consequences due to use, and problems with friends or family members, you have an addiction.
Drug addiction is a progressive, deadly disease. The continued use and abuse of drugs changes your brain's chemistry and puts you in a vicious circle that eventually destroys friendships, family relationships, job success, and your health.
How a Rehab center can help
Drug rehab allows you to:
- Be away from the influences and triggers that lead to use
- Take time to focus on your underlying issues
- Detox and clear your body and mind so you can begin rebuilding your life
