Information on San Diego Rehabilitation Facilities
If you’ve landed on this page because you know you need help to overcome your addiction and you’re ready to take the next step. By admitting that you have an addiction problem, and by agreeing to get help for that problem, you’re taking important steps that may lead you to a longer, healthier life that is free of addiction. This article will help you understand just why treatment is so important, and how you can find a facility in San Diego to help meet your needs.Benefits of Going to Rehabilitation

While your resolve to get help might be incredibly high at the moment, you may find your enthusiasm for the hard work you must do tends to wax and wane from one moment to the next. Remembering how rehabilitation can help, and why it’s so important, may help you to stay on track when you feel your resolve begin to slip.

If you’re addicted to heroin or other opiate drugs, you might be provided with medications that can help to quell your cravings and help you focus on your recovery. These drugs can provide you with a substantial amount of benefits. For example, a study published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior found that of 388 patients who remained in methadone therapy after a year, 71 percent had stopped injecting drugs. By contrast, over 80 percent of those who left therapy returned to injecting drugs. This can lead to overdose or infection, so staying in therapy could help addicts to stay alive. As this example makes clear, rehabilitation can be incredibly helpful.

*Do I Need Help?

If you’re not convinced that you’ll need help to overcome your addiction, look over these questions. If you can answer “yes” to these questions, addiction might be a real problem in your life, and treatment may help you to recover:

1. Do you need a drink or drugs first thing in the morning?
2. Are you experiencing work, relationship or school troubles due to your substance use?
3. Have you tried to limit your use, but found you were unable to do so?
4. Are you frightened of how much you use?
5. Do you become angry when others talk to you about your use?
6. Have you spent grocery money or rent money on your substance use or abuse?
