G&G Holistic – Denial Must be Overcome First before Treatment Can Start

It seems that anything to do with drug addiction and a drug rehab program must be done in stages. This holds true for the denial process.

 

The initial stage of denial in and of itself can actually have two parts. One is, of course, the fact that the person who has a drug addiction will not admit that he does have a problem; the other may be that the person knows he has a problem, but will not admit the severity of it. Both parts of this initial stage must be dealt with before a person is actually ready to admit he needs the services of a drug rehab program.

 

Interventions can often help loved ones in their efforts to get the addicted person through these first stages. Done properly, an intervention will leave the person no choice but to face his problem and, hopefully, decide that he needs to services of a rehab program.

 

Oftentimes, however, when a person enters a drug rehab program, they are still going through the stages of denial. He may not realize it, simply because of the fact that he has consented to seek treatment for drug or alcohol abuse, and therefore has passed through the initial phase that was discussed earlier. Once inside the treatment facility, however, and upon learning how extensive the rehab program will be, a person may find himself saying or thinking, “I’m not that bad, I don’t need all this.” This is another phase of denial.

 

At G&G Holistic Drug Rehab, we will help a client to recognize that he may still be in denial, and will assist him in coming to terms with the treatment protocols and schedule he will follow while in our facilities. When he sees that we want nothing more than to help him, it is possible that he will be more accepting of the drug rehab program.
