Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Leesburg, VA

I was a patient at Mt. Regis 5 years ago. So I'll just say this: I was a heavy user. My life was in the toilet. I was using IV heroine and ready to die when I was forced into their program (2016). I've been clean since 28 days after admittance. MR saved me. I had tried so many times before then. With my parent's help. With my spouse's help. With my friend's help. Still I was slowly killing myself. The nursing staff commiserated with me. They are recovering addicts. They took me to the hospital when my vitals got scary. They advocated for me when I had to tell strangers that I couldn't have opiates for pain. They held my hand while I cried and felt sorry for myself. They kicked my butt when I thought I was "too good" to go to a meeting. The kitchen staff let me walk "behind the scenes." I told her that banana milkshakes were the only thing I could keep down for months. She showed me the blender, the bananas, the milk... that's all I ate for 3 weeks When I could eat solid food again, everything that was prepared was delicious. So delicious that I gained 10lbs before I left (was 20lb underweight when I entered). This place gives CARE. The bottom line is this: I was in active addiction for years before I found MR. As of Sept 29th 2021, I'm 5 years clean BECAUSE of MR. They sucked. I hated them. I loved them. I couldn't wait to leave and I MISSED them. But I'm clean. I'm thriving. I've gotten back everything that I had lost. If you want to get back what addiction has taken from you, just give it 28 days of your life. You've given addiction at least that. So make it a fair trade.

Exploring Leesburg Treatment Clinics Recreational abuse of prescription painkillers by Virginians hovers between 4.71 and 5.08 percent, and abuse of illegal drugs, like marijuana, heroin and cocaine, is also a problem. Drug rehab in Leesburg, VA can help you conquer your dependence on alcohol and drugs and get back to living your life in a healthy and productive manner.Comparing Inpatient and Outpatient Programs

Choosing whether to enter an inpatient or outpatient program can be a difficult decision. Many people who exit rehab relapse and begin abusing substances again over time. It's important to know that relapse is not a sign of failure and is often simply an obstacle to overcome on the path to sobriety. Many addicts need to enter rehab, whether inpatient or outpatient, more than once in order to successfully recover.

Addiction experts often recommend trying an inpatient rehab program if you haven't had success with an outpatient treatment program in the past. Outpatient programs require discipline and independent motivation. Ask yourself these questions:

Is my substance abuse tied to the stress of my daily life?
Do I use drugs and alcohol with my friends, family or spouse?
Do I have a physical dependence on alcohol or drugs?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you may be best off in an inpatient program.
