Drug Addicts Have The Ability To Flourish and Prosper
When most people think about drug addicts they do not think about their ability to have a successful and meaningful life. Instead, they think about the hurt and destruction that drug will inevitably can cause in a person’s life. However, with the right rehabilitation, a person can eliminate drugs and alcohol addiction from their life and flourish and prosper.
Regarding drug treatment, the hard part is getting to the point where a person puts more value on their life than the drugs themselves. However, one rehab is implementing their successful curriculum to show society that not only is this possible, but it doesn’t have to be that hard. That program is Narconon Louisiana.
The center currently achieves a more than 76% success rate for permanent recovery from drug or alcohol addiction. Narconon Louisiana does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problem drugs and alcohol were solutions for in the first place. Once that problem is isolated and handled, clients no longer feel the need to resort to drugs or alcohol as a way to get through life.
One main part of the Narconon Louisiana program is a common-sense guide to life that is used called The Way To Happiness. The Way To Happiness is the guide to living in society that addicts need as during their drug use, addicts do not live with the rest of society, instead they live against it. That means that when they re-enter society they have to learn what is expected of them, and what other people in society do to stay successful. Showing addicts that they have the ability to flourish and prosper is just one of the many areas that The Way To Happiness highlights for an individual.
The key to maintaining sobriety is highlighting how life is better without the problem of drugs or alcohol. The Way To Happiness does just this. It makes like more real to the individual, instead of something they can never obtain.
For so many people, drugs and alcohol is where their life ends, The Way To Happiness proves that there is a way to successfully integrate back into society without the permanent of label of “addict”. If you or someone you know is in need of help for a substance abuse problem please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
