Going into a rehab center is one of the most important steps you can take to beat back your drug addiction once and for all. So don’t waste this chance. Here are great suggestions from American Addition Centers on what you should do to make sure you come out of your rehab time, happy and your system, drug-free:
Participate
The experience won’t mean much if you don’t speak up in meetings or if you hold yourself closed off from everyone else. Treat it like a retreat. Share your experiences, the worst ones, the best ones. You never know how it’ll help someone else.
Trust your Therapist
Believe that your therapist only has your best interest at heart. So when he asks you to consider an activity, one that can help with your treatment, don’t dismiss it out of hand or reject it. Consider it. Study it from every angle you can. And if nothing feels off or wrong to you, then do it. You might be surprised at how well the results turn out for you.
Ask for what you need
If you know exactly what would help you recover faster and better, ask for it. Put in the request to your therapist or attending physician. If you think private sessions with your family and your therapist be extremely helpful? Your doctor can prepare and customize programs to suit your needs. So if it’s about spending more time with your family, then he’ll find a way to make that happen. Be ready to compromise a little, too, if your therapist offers an alternative or a few suggestions.
Be open-minded
An open mind is valuable in considering alternatives to your treatment. Don’t shut out possibilities. You’ll never know where it might lead you.
Connect with others
Build connections with other people in your group. Shared experience makes for strange bedfellows and you can meet a lot of interesting people this way, particularly damaged and emotionally strong people trying to fight back, to get control of their again, and stay drug-free.
