Addiction
Rehab and Afterward – What You Can Expect for Your Loved One
Guest Blogger: Annabelle Smyth 
Addiction is a thief that comes in the night and takes all the light and joy from life. It not only robs the person with the addiction, but also takes from those that love them. When someone you love is suffering from a drug addiction, it can be like watching them trapped, drowning under the surface of a frozen lake. They are so close, finger tips away from you, but you can’t seem to reach through the barrier and pull them through. While watching someone you love suffer through addiction is heartbreaking, this doesn’t have to be the end of the road. Drug rehabilitation can offer someone with an addiction a new lease on life.`
At Utah drug rehabilitation, the suffering that both you and your loved ones have endured can come to an end. Most addictions cannot be taken on alone. Chemical addictions carry with them both physical and psychological dependencies. When a person suffering from a physical dependency does not continue using the drug of their downfall, they will begin to experience withdrawal symptoms. As their body begins to detox, they can experience a wide array of uncomfortable physical and emotional symptoms. At Utah rehab, patients will be able to go through detoxification with an experienced and compassionate medical staff. The availability of trained professionals will greatly reduce both discomfort and anxiety for the patient.
Once detoxification has happened, the real healing can begin. Utah rehabilitation offers healing through state of the art facilities, family healing and support, and nutritional and physical fitness. Both emotional and physical issues are addressed through group and individual counseling sessions. Family and loved ones are also an integral component to the patients success. At Utah rehab family interaction and involvement is highly encouraged as a part of the successful treatment plan. Each patient is treated with compassion and is offered an individualized treatment plan that will best ensure their success. This includes a lifetime contract where the student can return to care in case of relapse.
Rehabilitation is a treatment of body, mind, and spirit. Even if addiction has stolen the light from your loved one, a treatment plan and program can bring it back. Everyone deserves to live with purpose and hope. Everyone deserves a life with loved ones that is devoid of addiction.
If you or a loved has fallen into the hands of addiction, know that there is a way to break free. Even if at this moment the road to recovery seems endless, proper rehabilitation can lead you to a lifetime of happiness and success.
