Fighting the Mind’s Dependence on Heroin with Drug Rehab in Missouri

"Perceiving drugs as a need makes addiction a difficult habit to kick. Because the drug user believes that his/her body is dependent on the drug, the drug becomes the center of the person’s thoughts and decisions. These dysfunctional thoughts need to be treated before the point of overdose and death. In King’s case, she felt good with the pain meds, sought heroin, and made the recreational drug the ultimate dictator in her life. She possibly became suicidal because she wanted to take control of her life instead of letting heroin do it for her. This irrational thought on self-control, among other destructive thoughts, is what drug rehab in Missouri aims to address and hopefully dispel."
