Cocaine Rehabs

Let me tell you about rehab. Please, let me tell you about rehab. Drug treatment isn’t easy, let’s start by clearing up that much. In fact, getting better in a drug rehab center is just about the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do. It was for me, anyway. But here’s the truth: Nothing…nothing…could ever be more worth it.

No addict gets better without professional addiction treatment. That’s just not the way addiction recovery works. Think about drug detox: the process by which drug treatment doctors help patients manage the symptoms of drug withdrawal. Drug detox only works if it’s overseen by experts: by people who know what they’re doing, and who can give you all the care you need to get better. Drug detox, simply stated, isn’t the kind of thing anyone should try at home. If you’re going to get better, you’ve got to get help.

Please, for your own sake, make the right decision here. Rehab really can make a world of difference…but not until you seek it out. Let today be the day you resolve to make rehab work for you. Some things, after all, just can’t wait until tomorrow.

Alcohol treatment centers can take a lot out of you. They’re not the easiest things to have in your life and they can definitely make life very hard. The worst part about them, though, is that if you need what they offer and you don’t get into one life can be even harder. My buddy Steve was one of the worst alcoholics I had ever known and he swore he’d be able to shake his habit when it got bad. The only that ended up happening though was that his habit got really bad and he still denied needing the help of alcohol treatment. That really sucked because alcohol rehabs probably had the only thing that was going to work for him. On the real, we all majored in getting fucked up in college. That’s just what we did. Some of us were able to party and maintain our academic work load and others couldn’t. It was all good. Steve was the guy that always got good grades. He could drink the worst combos of the worst alcohol hours before we’d hit the bars and clubs, go to the bars and clubs where he would drink us all under the table, and still come back to the dorms and write a twenty word term paper. He was an animal. But after college when the veil was lifted and we all found ourselves in the real world, Steve was the guy who never slowed down. As a matter of fact, he was the one who took it to a completely new level that no one thought possible. I never really thought much of it because I thought he’d eventually get it out of his system. I was undoubtedly wrong.

When I brought some literature to Steve on alcohol treatment he was glad that it was me who brought it up to him and not any of the other guys. He surprisingly was ready to for treatment and to check into an alcohol treatment center, man did I admit him as soon as I could. It wasn’t long before he had gone and come back and he truly did come back a totally new person. It was great to see my old college buddy back to his former self and not feeling guilty for having a problem he couldn’t solve himself. We never told the other guys because Steve wanted to keep it between the two of us. It really surprised me that he was actually willing to go and that he finished alcohol treatment with flying colors. Steve tells me that if it wasn’t me who brought it up to him he wouldn’t have ever gone. You gotta love having a friend who values your opinion. I know I do

If you’re going to go to drug rehab then you should do drug treatment Los Angeles style. Los Angeles is definitely the mecca for many things. It attracts hot broads, hot cars, actors, and of course drugs and drug addicts. When I came to L.A. I kind of understood that things were like that, but it never stopped me from getting hooked on drugs and drinking. I never wanted to be the guy I became and I definitely intended on doing bigger and things when I got here. But that’s how life is. You can never be too sure what’s going to happen, it just does. And when bad shit happens in your life you have to man up and just deal with it. That’s why when things started getting bad I realized that I needed to get into the best drug rehab center in Los Angeles had to offer so I made a call. Sometimes doing the right thing can be the hardest thing to do in this life. The cool thing is that when you finally do the right thing it can be the best thing you’ve ever done.

Tell me this isn’t happening. No way this is happening to me. I mean, come on. Is this really going on? The gang’s all here. Mom, Dad, Cindy and John…the whole family is present and accounted for. They even brought along some dufus that I don’t recognize. From the look of things, he could actually be the counselor. Yep, it’s happening. It’s all about to go down. This little gathering ain’t just a family get together. It’s an intervention. Holy crap!

I remember all the thoughts that flew through my head at that moment. Those were just a few of them. Boy, what a day that turned out to be. To say the least, it sucked. Oh yeah, that has to be one of my least favorite chapters in my life’s story. I’ve been through some tough times, but that day definitely takes the cake. I guess it sucked so much because it was an intervention, but it also sucked because I didn’t know that my drug addiction was that bad until that day. I had an idea but never did I think it would ever get that bad. I guess I had even fooled myself into thinking that I had everything under control. Joke’s on me, right?

Oh well, it didn’t take long after enduring that grueling day for me to finally do the right thing and get help. It was hard sticking to the regiment of my drug treatment, but I did it. That’s right, I did it. Now when I look back, three sober years later, I always thank God for my family and how much they care. Man, am I lucky.

Depression is never not There. That’s the worst part of the disease: Depression is never not There, never not with you, never not looming over everything you Do or Are like a dark and inescapable cloud. Depression, for me, was There when I woke up in the morning and went to bed at night; it was There when I studied myself in the mirror and faced the world during the day. Depression was always There: always just There. And it wasn’t until I got depression treatment that things started to change.

If you’re here, reading this, you obviously know how awful a disease depression can be. Now, for your own sake, you’ve got to have the courage to do something about it. Depression treatment can only work if you want it to work, if you have the courage to seek depression treatment out, and the strength to see it through. For your own sake, don’t wait another day to make the right decision. In the fight against depression, inaction is a recipe for disaster.

I was 14. He said Try it. I said Why. He said It’ll feel good, feel better that anything you’ve ever felt in your Whole Entire Life; He said it’ll feel like Ecstasy.

And so I did. Try it. I was 14. He said Try it. It’ll feel like Ecstasy. What else could you have expected?

I tried it all right. And then I tried it again. And again and again. Because He was right: It did feel like Ecstasy. And I was Hooked. Some people actually said I had a drug addiction; what did they know? I was just trying it, it was a “phase”–that’s what I said.

Ecstasy more or less ruined me, before I finally got help. Grades, sports, friends: Gone. There was only Ecstasy: That’s what I cared about; that’s why I was. All I wanted was to Use. Forever, for always. Til Death do Us Part.

I was 14. He said Try it. And I did. He said it’ll feel like Ecstasy And He was right. And who knew feeling so Good could ever hurt so Bad.
