Oklahoma- Many people look at those with a drug addiction as morally weak. They see the addiction as a social problem. They find it hard to understand how people can become addicted to a substance which destroys the addict’s body and life. The actual truth of the matter is that drugs affect both the body and the brain. Drugs cause compulsive behavior from the addict. Once a person develops this compulsive need to seek out and use drugs or alcohol, the addict cannot simply quit abusing the drug or alcohol without successful rehabilitation.
According to a recent study done by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 23.6 million people, aged 12 or older, needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol abuse problem.
Fortunately, we know much more about how drugs affect the body and the brain. Effective rehabilitation programs have been developed to help people stop abusing drugs and return to a normal life with sobriety.
Today, more and more drug rehabilitation programs are popping up around the country. Some rehabs offer traditional 12 step approaches while others offer
non 12 step rehabilitation.
“Finding the right drug treatment program can be difficult,” says Derry Hallmark Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor and Senior Director for Expansion for

“But if you know what to look for it is very possible to find a program that gets positive results for permanent recovery from addiction.”
