Entering Alcohol or Drug Rehab
When people seek alcohol or drug rehab, they know there is a problem. But for the unfamiliar, the idea of getting help for drugs or alcohol can cause fear and embarrassment. This is one reason that it is very important to risk no hesitation in entering rehab once the problem is identified.
It’s like removing an adhesive bandage. The pain, fear and embarrassment, does not need to be severe, but it can be intense. The duration of the pain is in the hands of the sufferer. Getting help with alcohol or drugs in Los Angeles is like a fast yank of the bandage. Not doing so is like a slow, agonizing pull.
At Tarzana Treatment Centers, for example, admissions staff can help calm fears very quickly. And the embarrassment is soon relieved through an understanding of the disease of alcoholism and drug addiction. Due to drugs’ and alcohol’s effects on the body and brain, wounds need to be exposed to the alcoholic or drug addict before they can be healed. And healing can begin immediately for those motivated.
Procrastinating over a phone call to rehab extends and intensifies pain in two ways. First, the physical suffering due to alcohol and drug withdrawals only gets worse and occurs more frequently. Second, legal, financial, and relationship problems continue to build, promoting the cycle of drinking or drugging to forget.
Tarzana Treatment Centers staffs addiction counselors in our alcohol and drug detox units so healing can begin before entering residential or outpatient rehab. The is part of an integrated behavioral healthcare plan in alcohol and drug rehab. We also provide help with alcoholism and drug addiction by making available mental health treatment, HIV/AIDS services, and Native American services.
