Confront addiction from all sides

Remember reading about the Revolutionary War in your history books as a student? The British were terribly frustrated with American tactics because the Americans were not playing by the established rules of engagement. The established rules of engagement of the time were that the two armies would meet face-to-face, then on command they would begin shooting at each other. They would die in a nice, orderly fashion. Washington recognized early on that this was not going to work for the outnumbered, under-equipped American forces. Ambush attacks, splinter attacks, attacks from behind and attacks from the side were ordered.

We all know the outcome of the Revolutionary War.

Addiction treatment is its own battle. The drug rehab or alcohol rehab that you choose should attack addiction head-on. But attacks from every angle are important. We attack addiction through psychological means, psychiatric means, social means, physiologic means, neuro-chemical means, spiritual means, (and even neural means through a process of neurofeedback). It is attacked in group therapy, individual therapy and in the milieu. Addictive thinking is challenged. Underlying core issues are addressed. You see, addiction treatment is multi-faceted! That is a true holistic approach to addiction recovery.

With your life at stake, it is important to attack the disease of addiction from all sides. That is what a top drug rehab or top alcohol rehab should do.
