Rehab without patient involvement is like a car without gas: It just can’t go anywhere. Rehab only works…only helps addicts get sober…when rehab patients play active roles in their own healing. It’s not enough to check into a rehab center and then wait to get saved; you’ve got to work for it, to struggle and suffer and scrape against your addiction, with everything you’ve got, until you finally get to that place where you need to go.

Is rehab easy? Not by a long shot. Is it worth it? More so than you could ever possibly imagine.

Rehab that works is rehab that gives you your life back: the hope, the joy, the sense of dignity that addiction strips away. Rehab that works is rehab that makes life worth living again, so long after addiction turned it into a pale facsimile of whatever it had been. Please, for your own sake, don’t wait another to find out the truth for yourself. Your future, after all, won’t be around forever.
