The road to success is always under contraction, but the road to destruction is already constructed and available to the user for free. Alcoholism, drug addiction, crimes etc belong to the latter, but the former needs to be constructed, stone upon stone, brick upon brick, to take us to the desired levels of success. Take drug addiction for instance. Most of us fall prey to this malaise usually for two reasons. The first one, the most common, is escapism. Many of us try to run away from the pressures of life and conceal ourselves in the realms of the make believe world of addiction. Some of us fall prey to pressure from friends and try out drugs just to have a hang of it. Never do we realise that regular usage of drugs would make your mind and body dependent upon them for survival. Once a person reaches that stage, he or she becomes a pain in the neck for the family and society. Drug rehab is the only way out of this situation. Recent researches have thrown up an interesting drug rehab treatment, namely, the Narconon drug rehab, which treats the body and the mind together. This method employs holistic treatment tactics like Chinese medicine, meditation, massages, group activities etc to detox the body. No over the counter medicine is used here, as it has been observed that medicines can also leave negative impact on the long term success of drug rehab programs. The body, once cured, is ready for normal activity, but the mind is still not. Now the second the stage, the mental treatment, starts. The psychologists of the treatment centre put the addict through a series of mind therapies and make it understand the values of life. The addict is taught to fight back instead of running away. The duration of this stage depends on the state of the mind of the addict. The weaker ones may take more time to build up strength, while the comparatively stronger minds recover faster. Mind treatment actually involves learning improvement therapies which enhance memory power, ability to learn and adapt, and adjust to realities of life. The addict is gradually drawn out of the make believe world into the real one. We have some very good rehab centres in our midst. The first pre-requisite for any drug rehab centre is tranquillity. A rehab centre set in a serene atmosphere can work wonders in the recovery process. Make sure that the rehab centre has a credible history before enrolling into one. It would be even better if the centre can produce testimonials from respected and responsible persons like City Mayors etc. Make sure that the treatment centre excels in the field of outpatient care too. This is very important because, in many cases, you have to visit the centre for periodic counselling for some period of time. The lack of after discharge care has often found to have caused the cured addict to fall for drugs again. If such re-addiction occur, it would become doubly difficult for the addict to survive.
