Detox and Rehab aren’t Necessary, But…
If you have a problem with alcohol or drug addiction, there is a good chance that you have heard from either your friends or some media source that going through rehab and / or detox is only a waste of time. However, the statistics behind rehab speaks for itself when a large majority of people who go through rehab end up not using those drugs again.
Conversely, when people attempt to quit using a substance on their own, they are far more likely to relapse or immediately continue abusing alcohol or drugs again. Much of this is because the detox portion of rehab, where the patient’s only focus is on getting the drugs physically out of their system, can be rather difficult. For example, going through oxycodone withdrawal symptoms without someone there to help or when you have to handle other tasks can be painful and near impossible – our rehab center will let you relax as much as possible in a quiet and safe environment with an experienced staff while you purge that oxycodone -or any other drug or alcohol- from your body.
Learning to Live Sober
Learning to Live SoberOne of the more important things to address when it comes to returning to a sober lifestyle is what you will fill the time previously spent abusing a substance with. You might just find that you have a few hours extra available each day once you quit. And though that might sound nice to have extra free time, if you don’t fill it with something you greatly increase your relapse risk. In rehab, you’ll receive classes and practice on managing free time and avoiding boredom, which is especially dangerous for you if you quit using drugs or alcohol recently.
