Drug treatment without hardship is like a car without gas: It just can’t go anywhere. Drug treatment only works…only helps addicts reclaim their dignity, and their vitality…when it’s hard. Remember, addiction is an overwhelming disease, one that infects the very core of an addict’s being. Drug rehabilitation patients, it follows, have got to change from the inside out: have got to remake themselves into totally new people, for the simple reason that nothing less could ever be good enough. That kind of transformation never comes cheap…which is why drug treatment, if it’s going to work, has got to entail no small dose of struggle.

Remember, drug treatment that works is drug treatment that saves your life. As hard as addiction treatment can be, as much as it will try your will, and strain your resolve…it’s worth it. Successful drug treatment gives addicts a second chance in life, helps them rediscover themselves as they used to be, before addiction turned them into shells of anyone they’d thought they were. Successful drug treatment, simply stated, will help you reclaim nothing less than your very Self. And nothing could ever be important than that.
