What;s Life Like After Rehab? Addiction Solutions
First of all, let me congratulate you on choosing to live! You have
chosen to seek treatment for your addiction and that is a huge accomplishment.
Sometimes treatment centers will require that the individual seeking treatment
be sober/clean/detoxed for at least three days, but what do you do if you
haven’t been sober for three days and need help now. Secondly, I know the
waiting can be a scary thought but you can do it and here are some ways to keep
you on track and getting into that treatment center. overcoming

Another alternative is to seek
out multiple options for a rehab facility. Other facilities maybe able to
expedite your treatment sooner than others. An important thing to remember is
bed availability maybe limited so don’t give up in your search. Additionally,
if you are having trouble finding availability in a detox center try going to
your local ER and have them admit you for detoxing off of whatever you’re
detoxing from. If you do not feel comfortable going into the ER, contact your
family physician and let him/her know that you are attempting to check into a
rehab facility and need to detox prior to admittance. Your family physician
maybe able to call the local hospital and get you admitted in order to detox
safely. Remember do not attempt to detox without medical aid. The medical staff
at your local hospitals will also be a great resource for you to find other
detox facilities that you may not be aware of. life

Even
though you may be experiencing feelings of shame, guilt, embarrassment, anger
etc., push through those feelings and continue to fight for your life. You are
meant for more than the life of addiction and there is still time for you to
make a change for the better. When one door doesn’t seem to open push on
another until you find a way out. Reach out to a friend, loved one, counselor,
or organization to help you in your search. Sites like addictioncenter.com can
also help in making the search less over whelming and more achievable. Hope and
help is closer than you know, just hold on and keep fighting for your life.
