The dictionary defines rehabilitation as “the restoration of someone to a useful place in society.” This statement has a lot of truth. If you’re an addict, take a look at the life you live. Now, there are some addicts who are functional. Their bills are paid and they go through the motions to remain employed, but they are not living up to their true potential. You may be a functioning addict, but it won’t last forever. Soon enough your brain chemistry will be re-wired and all you can think about is chasing the dragon. You’ll want to be high constantly and you will lose sense of yourself. Your friends will disappear and you will find yourself without a job, craving the drug that has caused you so much misery. As you slowly dig your hole deeper, you may find yourself in jail, or you may just end up dead.
Rehabilitation is in your best interest. It takes time and dedication, but think of the life you’re missing out on because of drugs. If you take drugs because you’re depressed, they have other drugs for that, ones that don’t leave you an empty shell. Treatment is available to everyone who is willing to accept it. All you have to do is pick up a phone to start recovery.
