Drug abuse usually begins when people using drugs develop a tolerance for the substance. This causes them to use drugs and alcohol in higher quantities and more frequently to get the highs they are looking for. When you use drugs for a prolonged period of time, your body develops a chemical dependency to the drug. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, addiction occurs when the chemical dependency is combined with a strong desire to use the substance.

Treatment and recovery programs at rehabilitation centres such as Eden Recovery Centre help drug users by getting them off drugs and curing them of their chemical dependency.

While some recovering drug users report that they experience urges to use the substance they were addicted to months after treatment, our specialised and customised programmes at Eden Recovery Centre give the person the tools he or she needs to live a happy and healthy life and break #breakfreefromaddiciton once treatment has been completed. Recovery is imminent.

You’ll want to start by determining the right treatment solution for you. This means attending an inpatient facility, since they have higher success rates than outpatient services and allow for a wider range of options and specialties, such as executive or private rehabilitation. You also need to decide whether you want to look in your immediate area or find an acclaimed centre in another city, or perhaps even another province. Sometimes a change of scenery puts things into perspective when an addict is trying to “wipe the slate clean” and find the path to recovery.

The most important thing is not to get overwhelmed by the choices and let that stop you from progressing. For information or advice on how we can help you or your loved one take that first step to recovery and beat addiction please contact the Eden Recovery Centre. You can depend on full discretion.
