Drug Rehab Can Help Someone Get Through the Holidays Alive

Holiday Cheer Beats Drug Addiction

Drug Rehab Success During the Holidays

The holidays are times for friends and families to get together, in many cases with ones they haven’t seen in a while. What do you do if you notice or suspect that they may have a drug problem?

Believe it or not, the best time for drug or alcohol rehabilitation is during the holidays. The addict is kept safe, leaving all free to enjoy themselves. Holiday depression that can lead to further drug abuse is replaced by hope.

“Unfortunately, the holiday season brings to light problems or situations where people realize that someone they know and love may need rehab,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director for The Atlanta Recovery Center Drug Rehab Georgia. “Actually, the best time for drug rehab is during the holidays. These can be depressing, which can lead to more drug abuse; these can be dangerous, as drug addiction can take their life.”

The Director of The Atlanta Recovery Center of Georgia announced a campaign to make the Atlanta Recovery Center services available to as many families as possible during the holiday season.   Help with financing and partial scholarships for those who qualify are all part of The Atlanta Recovery Center of Georgia’s effort to make 2010 the best year for as many people as possible.

The Director stated:  “Today many people are worried about the economy and with an addict in the family the stress is even greater.  Now that the holidays are upon us, many families need guidance during these trying times.   I founded The Atlanta Recovery Center because I someone close to me had become addicted to drugs.  The Atlanta Recovery Center turned out to be the only methodology of treatment that was helpful after many failed attempts at drug rehab.  I wanted others to have the same joy that I had in seeing someone get their life back.  In many ways, I got my life back too.

“I want to spread the word during this holiday season that I absolutely know that 2010 can be the best year in the life of someone who does the Atlanta Recovery Center program.    I feel so strongly about this that I am inviting anyone with an addiction problem to call me personally.”

“Have you finished your holiday shopping yet? If there is a drug abuser in your life, put rehab on the list.

“At the Atlanta Recovery Center we have activities planned throughout the holidays and families are invited to join in the festivities. The best time to start the program is now, so that the client can be well through the program by holiday time.

“Bring in the New Year with a new life. The Atlanta Recovery Center is the New Life program. Start yours today and let it continue for many years to come.”
