NEW YORK – In recent years, the cost of health care has increased in staggering proportions. Individuals have been left wondering if they can really afford to get healthy and stay healthy and no other group has been so widely affected as individuals addicted to drugs and alcohol. One of their common excuses for becoming sober is, ‘I can’t afford it’.
“Addicted individuals are known for making excuses as to why they cannot become sober,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Those excuses can range from ‘I don’t have a problem’ or ‘I can control when I use’ to ‘I can’t afford drug addiction treatment’. The response offered for an individual who attempts to throw up the roadblock of ‘I can’t afford it’, has always been ‘you can’t NOT afford it’. While that response obviously holds a variety of different meanings, at Mountainside we’ve literally eliminated that barrier for treatment for most individuals. We have and always will remain true to our roots of offering affordable addiction treatment to those who need it and want to live a sober life. While it’s true that addicted individuals can and still will make excuses for getting the help they need, with our affordable drug addiction treatment program, most can’t fall back on the excuse of treatment expense as a barrier to becoming sober.”
If you are considering an intervention with a loved one, it’s necessary to offer understanding and concern for the addicted individual while not condoning his or her actions. In addition, it’s also advisable to understand that a person who isn’t ready to live a sober life will, indeed, offer a variety of reasons why they can’t enter drug rehab at the present time. Learning the compassionate ways of countering those objections can go a long way in helping the individual understand how much their addiction is affecting their lives and the lives of those who care about them.
