Anyone can get off drugs. You could leave someone in a room for a week and make sure they didn’t leave, and they would be off drugs. The hard thing is keeping them off the drugs. That hurdle is what is crippling our society, it is what is encouraging the war on drugs and it is what is preventing families from having their son, daughter, mom or dad back. A key part to ensuring that someone is able to stay off drugs is to make sure that they are able to integrate back into society.
One of the byproducts of addiction is the fact that an addict completely isolates themselves from the rest of society. There are reasons behind this. Drugs and alcohol will cause a person to lie, steal, cheat and manipulate – all of these actions result in harming society in one way or another. At one point a person makes the decision to go against the morals and values of society. When they do this they are separating themselves from the rest of the world. After a person completes a drug and alcohol rehab, they are thrown back into society. They are thrown back into the group that they harmed and resisted for so long. This provides for a bumpy transition at best.
In order to handle the inevitable cohabitation between a person who was once an addict and the rest of society the former drug user has to know what is expected of them. They literally have to be told not to steal, not to lie, not to manipulate and so on. And while this may be a very simple concept for most people to understand, remember this was a person who, until very recently, was basically trying to kill themselves.
The sign of an effective drug rehab is that they are able to fully handle the addiction and get the person up to the point where they are willing and seeking out the companionship of other, sober, individuals.
