Do you have a problem you just can’t beat? Do you have a problem with drug abuse or alcoholism? You’ may feel like you’re alone, but you’re not alone. Many people have experienced your problem. It is well known and well understood. One thing that is well understood about your problem is that although it will take strength, willpower and focus to overcome your problem, willpower alone won’t get it done. You will need help.
There will be no cavalry riding to your rescue. You will need to take that first step yourself. Even if you get lucky, and there is a drug intervention or alcohol intervention on your behalf, and your friends, family and loved ones have gotten together to confront you about your problem, you have to be the one to seek help. You have to check into a drug treatment program, or alcohol treatment program, or treatment facility, and let the people there help you.
Addiction treatment centers cant’ help you if you don’t check into one. You have to commit to going there. Once there, there are many people, both in terms of staff and other people who have similar problems to you, who can and will help. These include medical staff, and peer counselors and psychiatric counselors. Addiction has a psychological component, and psychiatric help is particularly beneficial if you have a dual diagnosis. You will need to treat your mental or emotional problems concurrently with your addiction to recover and not risk relapse.
Addiction recovery is a long road, but there are many people who can help. Your best choice is to check into one of the many fine treatment centers in Connecticut for the help you need, and get away from the temptation and stress of your daily life.
