JOIN FREE GROUP How to Recover From Drug Addiction
People tend to be of the opinion that there’s no cure for drug addiction, and that once someone is an addict, they’ll forever be an addict. This way of thinking can actually be very off-putting for addicts, because if they can never recover, what’s the point of even trying? The truth is, many addicts can overcome their addiction and go on to live happy, fulfilling lives without ever going back to substance abuse.There’s a certain risk that comes with suggesting there’s a cure that can magically fix you, especially when those problems are as complex and often deep-rooted as drug addiction. There’s no magic bullet, but if you go on to say that no-one can ever recover from substance abuse, you’re looking at it all wrong.If you see drug addiction like any other chronic medical condition, such as cancer or diabetes, we can see that these things can be treated and kept under control. Just like a chronic disease, drug addiction can go into remission and be held there indefinitely.Many reputable drug and alcohol abuse treatment centers take care never to use the word ‘cure’, as they know it can be dangerously misleading. However, they also recognize that with the correct treatment and support, an addict can fully recover from their abuse problem and go on to live completely normal, drug-free lives.
