The first step for those attempting to live a rewarding life free of drugs and alcohol is to devise a plan to quite including detailed solutions for drug abuse.
No one really knows what truly causes people to become addicted to drugs and alcohol. There are most certainly many theories on the matter; however, research on the topic is relatively young in terms of the science behind it. This can be one of the most frustrating aspects for those struggling with addiction, because so often, all they want to know is: "Why me?" Rather than focus on what causes their drug abuse, it's imperative for those wanting to get clean to focus on their recovery and to formulate a plan to stop using drugs and alcohol for good.
There are many different schools of thought on the best and most effective solutions for drug abuse. Many people believe that addicts need to hit "rock bottom" before professional drug and alcohol treatment can be effective. Others believe that the sooner drug and alcohol abuse is addressed; the better the chances that an addict can beat addiction and stop abusing substances. The reality is; an addict will only get clean and sober when they completely commit to doing so by devising a plan.
Devising a plan means doing some research and trying different treatment methods that are available to you to see what works. Nearly every community in America offers resources to their residents to help them stop abusing drugs and/or alcohol. Recovery communities such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are a great place to start. Programs such as AA and NA have helped millions of people recover from drugs and alcohol abuse and lead rewarding lives free of substance abuse. In many instances, having the care and support of others who have gone through the difficult process of beating addiction proves tremendously helpful for those trying to do the same.
Drug and alcohol treatment centers, or rehabs, are another tool commonly used by addicts to get clean.
There is a false idea that rehab is expensive and designed only for the rich. The truth is, there are many free drug rehab centers across the country that offer support and cater to families and individuals in need of financial assistance to partake in treatment. Making a plan to contact as many drug treatment centers as possible to find out the types of programs they offer and what they charge is a great way to start the process of getting help.
If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, devising a plan to stop using drugs and alcohol is the first step. Fully commit to the future and the idea of a fulfilling life free of drugs and alcohol and you will be more than happy with the results.
