Hello there. If you are reading this, you have may have been asking yourself what recovery is all about. More importantly, you may not know what to do next to free yourself from addiction. Rest assured, you are in the right place.

The first step towards recovery is picking up the phone and calling a treatment center. Research has shown that you have a better chance at maintaining recovery if you go to treatment. Treatment is a place that you can go to for renewal, refreshment, and to learn the first steps to gaining sobriety.

What does treatment involve? Treatment for drugs and alcohol involves staying at the treatment center for at least one month, in some cases you can stay longer. You will live in a recovery oriented home with all sorts of amenities. Remember, recovery is not about deprivation and boredom! Every day you will attend meetings, groups, and therapy. In your group and meetings, you will learn what addiction has done to your body. You will also learn how to get through cravings and live a sober life. You may also develop friendships with others who are on the road to recovery.

Treatment is usually a month to a few months commitment. This is not meant to be a jail sentence. Your time in treatment will be enjoyable, as you learn how to live a sober life. Treatment equips you with the tools you need to live independently and immerse yourself back in society.

Treatment prepares you for dealing with cravings, getting through temptations, building new relationships, repairing family relationships, and loving yourself. In order to have a good chance at recovery, you need to learn how to live life on life’s terms. You have to learn how to be sober. Treatment prepares and teaches you how to do this.

Treatment also gives you a little time to forgive yourself. Having an addiction does not make you a bad person, but you will need some time to unravel and heal. Entering treatment allows you to decompress in a safe place.
