Several weeks ago I read an article about a major controversy surrounding the location of a proposed drug rehab center in Tennessee. The center, which wanted to open in a former retirement home, was half an acre short on the land they needed to legally operate. It went to the zoning board for adjudication, and was turned down. Which means that it will be basically that much harder for an addict to get into drug rehab.

Making it difficult for someone to get into rehab is the worst mistake you can make. When an addict decides he’d like help, you need to take advantage of it quickly. While an addict may continually profess to want to get off drugs, it usually takes work on someone else’s part to get them to follow through. And the more barriers you put there, the less chance there is of it actually happening.

If you or someone you care about wants to get off drugs, contract a professional drug rehab program counselor. He can help you find out if there’s a successful drug rehab in your community, or can help you find another alternative.
