There are different views on re-hab and the effectiveness of it. I think from the people that I have seen go through the programs that some places are more effective than others. Some centers treat alcoholism and drug addictions in the same manner. This I disagree with as the two are4 not the same. Similar, but different. An Alcoholic can go for a few weeks without a drink and hit the sauce and it will only take a minimal amount to get the drunken effect again. A drug addict will have immediate withdrawals with out the drugs. The drinker will go into DT’S and after a few days he is on the road to sobriety. However the disease still lies just underneath the thought of another drink.

The state sponsored facilities don’t seem to differentiate the two and have different programs for the sick ones. They are all put in the same environment and are taught by UN qualified counselors to treat these patients whose mental health is usually at risk along with their addiction. The psychologist that are used seem to be the under scorers in the classes just trying to get some practice under their belt to go on to a more lucrative career, at the cost of the addict or the alcoholic.

When you let these patients go without the proper care and medication there begins another problem, you are dealing with unstable persons that are diseased and need the top quality care that is available even if through private practice, the help that is very much needed but at what cost. The states don’t put much value into the health of these patients and so the receive sub standard treatment and sent on their merry way to recover for themselves.

I know that the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. And the next is to have the courage to do something about it. It is hard when you are sick and don’t know how to get better on your own and need help and you turn to the ones who are supposed to help you, only to find that they could care less because they are underpaid by the state to put up with your sickness. I am not an addict or an alcoholic, this is just from the observation that I have made from the past years of seeing and knowing patients with these dreaded diseases.

Does Re-Hab Work??
