Find Rehab Now

There are two very improtant points you want to establish with a person who has hit bottom and is ready to go into a drug rehabilitation program.

1. The addicted person must realize they are in trouble and are willing  to receive help.

2.  Equally as important is the addicted person agreeing with the treatment philosophy and apporach of the program they will enroll in. 

When looking for a rehabilitation program  ensure the addicted person has an opportunity to learn about the treatment philosophy and the treatment approach of the program that is being considered before they committ or someon else on their behalf commits them to the program.  If the addicted person can be gotten to understand and agree with the treatment philosophy and approach of the program they will enter the chances of  successful rehabilitation are far far greater. 

To not establish these two points decreases greatly the odds of successs.

If the addicted individual does not agree with the treatment philosophy and approach of the program being proposed,  keep on contacting programs until you find one that makes sense to them.  There are many different philosophies and approaches to drug rehabilitation.  Addicts are individuals with individual viewpoints and needs so take the time to find the program that makes sense.

Willingness to seek help
written by Family In Need, October 02, 2008

I agree with your view that willingness and acceptance are the most important factors in getting an addict to get successful help beating his addiction. Is there a way to help an addict really understand what the best program is for him is if it is his first time?
