What is the Best Drug Rehabilitation Program?
People who develop the tendency to minimize or disregard dangerous behaviors often develop the bad habit of practicing dangerous behaviors. If a person develops the bad habit of practicing dangerous behaviors the best solution is to develop an opposing positive habit that cannot coexist with that bad habit.
For instance, being addicted to health would preclude any addiction to drugs or alcohol. This simple but effective idea is what we promote as the perfect ideal that allows drug addicts to not only survive but also to thrive.
How does Drug Addiction Develop?
Habituation is a precursor to craving, and craving is a precursor to abuse, and abuse is a precursor to dependency and dependency is a precursor to addiction.
When we say that drug addiction is involuntary, we’re saying that nobody sets out to become a drug addict. It happens involuntarily because addiction is the result of playing with fire. Anyone who plays with fire doesn’t expect to get burned but eventually everyone who does - does get burned. It’s involuntary but predictable.
Some say how can anyone rational person not recognize that drugs and alcohol are dangerous. Most often a person’s initial experimentation with drugs and alcohol is exhilarating without many if any major consequences so the fear of drugs dissipates each time they use drugs.
Drug and alcohol use is like traveling down a dangerous road. Each day you travel down the same road you grow a little more confident. Eventually you no longer see the road as dangerous. In fact, you get so familiar with the road you develop a feeling of invincibility. You develop a feeling of overconfidence. An overconfident driver has very much the same mindset as a drug abuser. They both minimize the dangers. Then one sunny day that overconfident driver misses a turn and drives right off the road and crashes the car. The road never changed - only the perception changed.
Another example of inadequate and inaccurate recognition of a dangerous behavior is in the field of carpentry. It’s a well-known fact among carpenters that it’s the veteran carpenter who is most likely to cut their own finger off with a skill-saw. The apprentice carpenter rarely makes the same mistake.
Drug use may not seem dangerous in the beginning but over time and if you’re very lucky you’ll only wind up crashing a couple of cars and losing a couple fingers.
