Staying sober
Anxiety disorder is a devastating disease. To live with chronic anxiety is to be forever haunted by an aimless and unrelenting sense of dread, one that’s there when you wake up in the morning and when you go to bed at night and at most moments in between. Under those circumstances, it’s not surprising that so many anxiety disorder sufferers turn to drug and alcohol abuse as a means of self-medication. And given that connection, it should go without saying that meaningful addiction recovery must address anxiety disorder wherever it exists.
An addict suffering from anxiety cannot expect to stay sober over the long run without first achieving substantive psychological healing. The best rehab centers, in turn, are those which employ dual diagnosis techniques to address both the physical and emotional needs of their patients. Successful rehabilitation programs are always holistic in scope. With so much to lose, and so much more to win, it’s well past time you learned that lesson for yourself.
