Drug Addiction
Moving Into Recovery

Welcome!!

Nobody sets out to become addicted to drugs or expects to deal with drug addiction. Some people may take an illegal drug for the first time, just to have a thrill or be a part of the crowd.

Alcoholism

Some people need prescription medication, but over time they begin to take too much, too often. Whatever the case, people certainly do not expect the misery that comes with addiction. But there is help for drug addiction and drug rehab centers can work.

Addiction Has Many Faces...

Addiction has many faces, none of them pretty. This site is devoted to trying to help find ways for you to recover from addiction.

We designed this site to give useful information that will help people learn to make better decisions.

The key to dealing with drug abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction is having the right information. You need information to recognize and understand drug addiction or alcoholism in yourself, your family, your friends and your community.

This site has complete and update facts about drug and alcohol abuse to help people to stop their dependence.

This site is for you if:

- Your family is suffering from the strain of a loved one’s addiction and you don’t know what to do.

- A friend is struggling with addiction and you want to know how to help.

- You have questions about addiction and need honest answers about treatment and recovery.

- You’re struggling with drug abuse or addiction and you need help!!

Information for you

Our goal with this site is to provide information that will be beneficial to your recovery or for you to help others recover. If you want to help a friend or loved one with this problem, we hope the information in this site will help you be a source of support and strength.

We’ll give you useful information and connect you with the right resource to answer your questions.

How can this site help you?

On this site you will get useful information and begin your journey back to health. We have divided the topic into bite-sized pieces, to help you sift through the volumes of written material on the subject.

We believe we are body, mind and spirit, and each of those need to be treated in order for recovery to take place.

This site contains five MAIN pages that EVERYONE should read:

ABOUT... SYMPTOMS... CAUSES... EFFECTS... TREATMENT...

Read these five pages and learn what you need to know to spot drug addiction in:

Yourself... Your Family... Your Friends... Your Community...

The rest of the pages are there for your reference to explain important topics in more detail.

Finally don’t miss the Spiritual and 12-step sections to fully explore how understanding THE SPIRIT can lead to recovery!

Addiction is a disease of the spirit

Addiction is a disease of the spirit. We have “lost control”, substance abuse has taken control of our lives. Because addiction is a spiritual disease, if you are going to be healed, your spirit must be healed.

You can try to overcome this on your own, like pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, and some people might be able to do it, but most can’t. Healing our spirit is offered as a gift from a “power greater than ourselves”.

People in recovery will tell you that one drink, or one hit is too many and a whole ocean-full of drinks, or even the most potent drug isn’t enough.

Drug addiction does not have to be the winner, but addicts need the tools to access strength and support. You have to be honest with yourself and realistic about the problem.

Addicts must realize that they can’t use drugs and they can’t take a drink because the consequences are serious at a minimum, and too often deadly. There is hope.
