Drug Rehab Q & A: Does Celebrity Failure at Rehab Mean I Can’t Make It Either?

July 22, 2007

No way.  Successful drug rehab is possible. 

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting a little tired of hearing about Lindsay Lohan and the revolving door of drug rehab with her and other celebrities. I checked Yahoo news for info on drug rehab the other day and almost everything on the first page was about Lohan or other celebrities. I know that celebrities usually equal controversy which equals readership, but what is this news doing to the subject of drug rehab? People who are having a problem with drug or alcohol abuse could definitely be discouraged by the barrage of news items that give the impression that even when you spend $40,000 a month you’re going to revert. Well, I’ve got a news item for you - successful drug rehab is possible.

Don’t pay attention to the media hype. The fact is, there are successful drug rehab programs out there. And because of them, people are getting off drugs every day. Not only are they resuming their normal lives and reuniting with family and friends, they are usually better off after drug rehab than they were before they started drugs. Why? Because the reasons they started abusing drugs or alcohol in the first place are addressed and resolved through alcohol and drug addiction treatment.

Don’t give up. Don’t believe the media hype. Don’t use celebrities as your measuring stick. Find a successful drug rehab. It can work, and it won’t cost you $40K a month.
