Signed up for Drug Rehab Therapy for work. It seems as though it is a joke for me to be there, but hey, you win some, you lose some. I have to give them 26 hours of my life for the next six weeks, so I might as well make the best of it. :)
Today was a simple overview of what the class is going to be like. What the expectations are for the environment, success, and future goals. All in all, I spent more time driving to and from class than I was actually there, but again that is for another day. This class is suppose to restore the abilities to focus on real goals, self control, obtaining/maintaining self control of the so called addict. (I am not an addict, but I am taking the class anyway). I think I have failed the first part, since I am not admitting to being an addict. Alrighty, that was my last and final joke about rehab. I do believe this class will be somewhat beneficial.
This class is also suppose to help the individual snap out of traumatic events that may be leading/contributing to the addiction and away from the reality of life. I don't know a person who wouldn't benefit from this. Free therapy on dealing with reality of life, what a steal! There are a few people in the world who have never had or know anyone that has had a traumatic event in their life, but there are also a significant amount that have had an issue once or twice in their life. Learning how to deal with trauma is great tool that every person on this planet could use. You never know when you are going to be in a situation that has trauma stamped all over it.
I will continue to attend drug rehab and keep you all updated on the comings and goings of the lovely group in which I now belong.
Continue to live the dream. Be happy, smile, and make a difference today. Each moment is an opportunity to be successful.

Detox: a necessary step in drug rehab programs.
ReplyDeleteWhichever kind of treatment you choose, detox will be the first step in your drug rehab. Florida is no exception here: at all treatment centers patients have to go through the detox. There are three stages of it:
(1) Medical, when your body gets clear of narcotic. The process is supervised by doctors to ensure the safety of your health. When this stage ends, you may be sure that the most painful phase is behind you and you're ready to go to the next stage:
(2) Physical detox. When you're no longer poisoned, the time comes to build up your ruined body. In this stage of drug rehab the most important person is your nutritionist, who helps you to create the diet that will suit your needs. It ends at the moment when your body is healthy. The only remaining problem is your psyche.
(3) Emotional detox. Here comes the last, the least painful, but the most important part: curing your emotional addiction. Every drug rehab in Florida offers you some counseling in the process. It doesn't really matter what exactly they do. All of it works as long as you COMPLETE THE PROCESS. After three-four months of therapy your addiction is no more as long as you don't start it again - and that's why you need this stage. You have started to use drugs for some reasons, haven't you?
