It really gets hard sometimes to convince people what they need to do to save their own life. People struggle with addiction for years and think that it can be over in just a few days, if they can only get through the rough part of withdrawal. Very few people, unless faced with no other option want to enter an inpatient drug treatment or alcohol rehab program.
People will call the addiction treatment counselors looking for help, but not really, often they do not want to make the sacrifices it takes to achieve drug and alcohol addiction recovery. They dont wan't to leave the family, when many times thats the very reason they are abusing drugs and alcohol in the first place. Or they don't want to leave the state, don't want to be gone to long and many other reasons that are very insignifigant when it comes to the price you pay in addiction.
If you really want to achieve drug and alcoh0l recovery, you should rid yourself of any consideration or demands, as it will only hamper you in the long run. Addiction is hard enough to overcome, do yourself a favor and be willing to do whatever it takes to do it.
