The question of “why should I go to a drug rehab program?” is one that causes more discussion and doubt, anger and distrust, arguments and apathy than any other question associated with addiction. So why all the fuss? When a person is locked in the grasp of addiction, even the torture of ripping everything that matters away from them often doesn’t outweigh the tremendous craving to use more drugs. A family member may look at the person and think “ how could you not see how desperate your situation is” or “you must not want to get your life back so you must enjoy this struggle and pain”.
The truth is that no addict wants to be an addict. No one every woke up one morning and decided to rip apart their family, doom themselves to unemployed, penniless reliance on anyone who will support them and ultimate death or imprisonment for the drug or alcohol that controls them. Still, millions seem like they choose exactly that every day. Addiction treatment provides the education and tools to living a life free from drugs and alcohol.
