An Addict Losing Everyone’s Trust
What a Drug Rehab Should Have:
Gaining Trust
With drug and alcohol addiction, an addict loses all trust from family and friends. Because of the lying and manipulation, an addict will do to get more drugs or alcohol, no one can really trust anything he (or she) says.
It is a dwindling spiral that commonly ends in criminal activity. Someone caught up in the trap of addiction will do whatever they think they must to get the next pill or drink, even if it means hurting those they love or violating the law.
The Importance of Life Skills Training in Recovery
The World Health Organization also details the life skills that are necessary parts of returning to health, including respect, trust, and compassion on their list.
An addicted person needs a real education in how to build a drug-free life and thus never need to turn to drugs or alcohol again. The Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is just this kind of addiction recovery treatment.
The long-term Narconon drug rehab program provides services that align with the recommendations of both these organizations. With a thorough lineup of life skills training, each person in recovery has an excellent chance of building those new, sober-living skills.
Gaining Back Trust after Addiction Recovery
One young man knows how an addicted life can be turned around and put on the right path. Brian described his life as an addict. “When addicted, my life was filled with despair. The respect and adoration I had in my family’s eyes were lost. The trust factor was completely gone. My life was a shambles.
“When I first got to Narconon, I felt a lot of love. The staff were there every step of the way with me. After three or four days of being here, I began to accept myself and the love that was around me. That is where I got a lot of my strength that carried me through the rest of the program. I quit fighting myself and decided to live for a better me and a better me for my family.”
Brian added, “After finishing the entire Narconon program, I feel awesome. I feel on top of the world. There is nothing I can’t accomplish. I love myself now. I can look at myself with respect. Now the true ‘me’ is here. Thanks to this program it’s here.”
