Why Drug Rehab?

Written on: June 15th, 2009 By: Val

Why Drug Rehab?

There is no known cure for the disease of alcoholism or drug addiction, but it can be arrested through abstinence and this is why drug rehab may be the answer for you.

If you are in the grip of alcoholism or drug addiction, you may find it nearly impossible to quit on your own for any length of time. There are varying stages of chemical dependency and while it may be possible to quit in the earlier stages, few people who are genuinely afflicted will. It’s only in the later stages when withdrawal symptoms are more pronounced and consequences more severe that people begin to consider why drug rehab might be the place to go for help.

Alcoholism and drug addiction is a malady that works on multi-levels of mind, body and spirit. It’s an obsession of the mind, a physical allergy of the body and a devastation to the spirit – all of which are interconnected. Each of these areas need to be addressed on an individual basis in order to arrest the compulsion to drink or use. It’s not enough to remove drugs and alcohol. We need to remove the reason why an individual became dependent upon drugs and alcohol in the first place. This is why drug rehab at SouthCoast Recovery is the place to consider when you or a loved one needs help.

SouthCoast Recovery in Dana Point, California, offers 30, 60, 90 day and 6 month residential drug and alcohol treatment for individuals who are struggling to get sober and find it nearly impossible to do so. We provide treatment from the initial stage of detox through the supervised care of 30-day inpatient and into transitional living programs that offer continued care and guidance to ensure your foundation in sobriety is solid.

We understand that for most people, drug rehab is the last resort. This is because alcoholism and drug addiction carry the major symptom of denial that works like a blindfold, making the afflicted individual unable to see how bad the problem really is. Why drug rehab is necessary can’t be explained to someone who believes they have it under control and can stop any time they want. People in the grips of alcoholism and drug addiction truly believe they can do it on their own. Unfortunately, the nature of the disease makes it such that it’s difficult to stop without professional help.

There are any number of factors that can contribute to alcohol or drug abuse such as genetics, conditioning, childhood or adult trauma, belief systems and chemical imbalance resulting in disorders such as depression or anxiety. While the initial resistance to quitting may be the discomfort of going through detox, if these issues are not uncovered and addressed the potential for an individual to return to drug or alcohol use remains high. At SouthCoast Recovery, we believe in combining the finest clinical care with advanced holistic healing properties of Eastern medicine because the first priority is the intention to heal from within. You do not want to be treated for alcoholism or drug addiction by someone who is merely going to band-aid the wound without discovering its origin and how best to heal it.

At SouthCoast Recovery, our treatment team works together to create synergy on all levels of your recovery during drug rehab. Initially, our primary goal is to ease you through the alcohol or drug detox and sever your physical dependence with as little discomfort as possible. Based on your clinical evaluation, our medical doctor, clinical therapist, drug & alcohol counselors, acupuncturist and massage therapist work together for your overall well-being. You are a vital part of communicating between each practitioner your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual progress so your plan advances as you do. The more information you supply your treatment team, the more you empower them to help you.
