In Home Drug Rehab Possibilities(via Worldwide Drug Addiction News)

Is it possible to do in home drug rehab?  How could you do it if you had to?  What are the risks of in home drug rehab?  Does the concept of doing drug rehab at home even make any sense?  Lots of questions to be sure, and the answers depend on the individual and the specifics of each case.  If it were possible to do drug rehab in your own home, several key advantages would be there for some individuals.  If you are a parent with small children, it might be one of the only options available to stay with your kids.  Obviously another advantage would be cost.  Anything that can be acccomplished without travel and accomodation expense has to be less expensive.

To some degree in home drug rehab is probably a misnomer.  A more likely case for most people would be an outpatient program combined with a highly sctructured program and plan for staying at home for the times not spent in an out patient drug rehab program.  It is technically possible to drug rehab at your own home and not leave for 90 days, however it does require the commitment of some other people to come to your place of residence to help you examine and learn some of the skills you need to change.

The obvious thing that needs to be asked is, if it were possible to change and do drug rehab at home, why wouldn't the person have changed before?  The answer lies in where along the the path of addiction the person is.  Clients that still have some structure in their lives may benefit from an attempt at in home drug rehab.  External testing would be recommended.  Some external formal instruction would also play a large difference.  This means if you are still able to maintain your job, but are in danger of cossing the line to being out of control, maybe a in home drug rehab would work.  It you life is totally out of control, the odds of in home drug rehab being successful would be slim.  Can you make your home safe from drugs and alcohol?  How close is a supply of drugs and slcohol to your home?  If you can answer those questions and still be reasonably safe, then again you may be a candidate for in home drug rehab. ! The short answer again is that in home drug rehab is possible, but it is selective and difficult to do.

It is not just a Book in Drug Rehab(via Worldwide Drug Addiction News)

We are proud to say we have finally launched our book, Make your last relapse, your last.  For a lot of people trying to deal with a drug and alcohol addiction this book will make a large difference.  I have to admit though, I have someone asked the strangest comment today.  They asked me if I was worried that the book would make it so people would not come to our rehab?  Seemed like a strange question.  If a book alone could help some people, that is wonderful.  However, there are people that need a drug rehab, so they can be safe, while they explore the book.

Addiction is a gradient.  No two people are exactly the same.  There are people whom a book will be all they need to move on in their life.  There are others whom a book and a drug rehab program will be needed as they need to have the space and privacy to figure it out on their own.  If addiction could be solved by a book alone it would not be the problem that it is in our society.  Our book will help.  Drug rehab will still be needed for those with a severe addiction.  Drug availibility and potency mean drug rehab centers are required no matter how good any book is.  I think people constantly underestimate addiction. If it were easy to change, clients would have done it already.  Drug rehab centers will exist for a long time, no matter how good any book is!
