Untreated drug addiction won’t simply go away. You can’t ride it out, or wait for it to pass. Drug addiction isn’t a passing condition. It’s a disease, the same way that cancer and diabetes are diseases. And like cancer and diabetes, drug abuse can only be overcome with clinical drug treatment. Think of it this […]

Drug addiction isn’t something to be ashamed of. After all, it can happen to anyone. Drug addicts are rich and poor, black and white, wildly successful and hopelessly down on their luck. The only thing they have in common is that they all need help. If you or someone you care about is a victim […]

Don’t enable, be tough!
If a loved one needs a drug treatment program, be loving, just don’t enable. They are taught that the only way that they can truly help us to change our ways is to stop enabling, and to start giving a little tough love. And it’s true too, and tough love can help. […]

Drug and alcohol rehab isn’t hard. Well, it is hard, but not hard like you think it’d be. Most rehab patients check into drug and alcohol rehab centers expecting this great trial, as if addiction treatment were some kind of medieval rite of passage. But that’s not right.

My time an addiction treatment center taught me a lot about life. I realized that it is totally human to make mistakes and even though a person makes mistakes, it doesn’t make them a worthless piece of trash. My time at an addiction treatment center also taught me that when a person makes mistakes that […]

They say every drug addict can track his drug abuse back to a particular Moment: to an instant in which the bitter-dark seed of addiction took root in his breast, and began the slow-steady growth that would ultimately consume every last inch of his being.
Maybe that’s true. Me, I never was one for delving […]

Think you can’t get hooked on marijuana?
Think again.
Marijuana addiction is a real thing. I know because I lived it, because I wound up trapped in a world where it was like there was just me and my desire to smoke…and where everything I did ultimately had to lead me back to weed.
I know marijuana addiction […]
