How many books hould you bring to a drug rehab program? Silly as it sounds this question has far more to it than at first glance. A great answer would be none. If a program has a lot to teach you a lot, if you want a permanent change to the way you handle your life. You have to read, focus and practise a lot if you are to effectively replace an old, very entrenched pattern.
There is nothing wrong with pleasure reading. There is nothing wrong with passing the time with a good story. I hope that going to a drug rehab is more than passing time. Going to a drug rehab program is hopefully a life changing event. Spare time in a drug rehab program, firstly might go to planning. Spare time might go to working out. Spare time could be focused on helping others in the program. Spare time could go into drug refusal skills. Spare time could go into practising improved communication skills.
Good drug and alcohol rehab has to be more than sitting around reading and playing ping pong. Read books about change. Read books about improving your skills. Read books about addiction. Leave the mysteries and romance novels at home. Rehab is for focused change.
