How important is drug treatment? It will save your life, if you let it. Or, it will save your life if you help it—and part of that helping is and had got to be an act of regenerative suicide, a process by which you lay waste to one version of yourself so that another you…a better a you, a you cleansed by the rigors of drug treatment…might be brought into being.

If drug treatment is going to save your life, in other words, you’ve got to die and be reborn again. Anything less just isn’t good enough: not with so much to lose, and not with so much to win.

Drug addicts go to drug treatment centers to get healed. They also go to drug treatment centers to get killed. If you’re a prospective drug treatment patient, may you find the strength to let that old you rest in peace from now until forever.

The success of your drug treatment program depends on it. And nothing could ever be more important than that.
