You might think that your addiction impacts only you, and as a result, you might think you’ll never need the help of a Riverside drug rehab program. Unfortunately, addictions don’t just damage the people who have them. In fact, addictions can impact almost everyone who comes into contact with the addiction, and that impact is usually negative. For example, a study conducted, in part, by a researcher from Riverside, found that children who lived with a person addicted to gambling were at higher risk for social dysfunction, and these children were also at higher risk for developing their own addictions, when compared to children who did not grow up in an addicted household. As this study makes clear, addictions can be harmful for everyone. That’s why it’s so important to get help.

Benefits of Entering a Rehabilitation Center

Before addicts enter treatment programs, they might use phrases such as:

• I can’t quit on my own.
• I suppose I’m just too weak to give it up.
• This is just the way my life is now.
• I can’t imagine a day without drugs.

These are incredibly negative thought patterns that can undermine your sense of self-esteem. They might even lead you back into using drugs, as you might feel hopeless and helpless when faced with these kinds of thoughts. Your therapist might help you to identify these thoughts and turn them around when they appear. In addition, you might learn how to use meditation techniques or exercise therapy to help quell your cravings.

*The Role of Medications

Some addictions can change the chemistry in your mind, and these changes can make it harder for you to think clearly and make good decisions. Medications might help to repair that damage, removing the clouds from your mind and helping to quell cravings. Not all programs use medications, however, and some programs only provide medications at specific points in the therapy process. This is something you can discuss with your therapist when you begin care.
