Fallacies about Addicts at a Typical St. Louis Rehabilitation Center

Full rehabilitation is possible only if the addict wants it– Waiting for an addict to lose everything he holds dear, hit his life’s lowest point, and anticipating a cry for help is essentially a way to keep him addicted, as his drug use acts as a way to keep his mind off of problems. Just like depression, drug addiction is a debilitating illness that can be cured. Looking at drug addicts in the same way as described previously is much like deliberately downing them at their lowest point without the intent to help. This is why established outpatient rehab facilities in St. Louis, MO and elsewhere exist; to assist sick individuals in getting themselves back on their feet.
