Friends and family have trouble sometimes seeing past the addict’s disease. They think that the person they know now is the person they are going to know forever. They also tend to think a lot of times that the person is too far gone. It’s not until the addict goes through an alcohol detox in a rehabs detox programs facility that they are able to see that it was the drugs and or alcohol talking and not the person who was taking the drugs or the alcohol. They start to see glimpses of the person they know and love who they haven’t seen in forever.
