Addiction is a disease that takes over the brain and body alike. For an outsider looking in, it is very hard to understand the life of an alcoholic or drug addict. It is hard to understand why they would continue to take that substance. Why don’t they just quit?
But, as recovering addict Russell Brand tells us, addicts are completely powerless to their disease. They are sick, and they cannot cure this sickness on their own. Without help, there is little chance for recovery.
Luckily, there is help and there is hope. And you can find it right here in Union Gap, Washington.
“The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction and unless they have structured help they have no hope.”
Home › Drug Information › Union Gap Resource InformationImportant steps in the recovery process include detox and rehabilitation. Detox usually lasts a week, and it is the process that rids the body of the addictive substance so you will no longer be physically addicted.
Rehab is what follows detox. It provides patients with the tools they need to gain their life back and stay drug or alcohol free. Rehab trains the brain to live again without the substance, which helps prevent relapses.
Recovery meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous give a structured, 12-step program to help change the mindset of addiction and overcome powerful cravings.
