Substance Abuse

As most of my readers already know, my second son is an addict. I was searching around on line for Substance Abuse Rehab, while the angels were sleeping, and found a place I wish I could put him in. Unfortunately it's for California Treatment, and I live in FL, if I did live in CA this is the place I would try to get him into.

The Narconon Drug Rehab Program has a 30 acre campus, in a relaxed atmosphere for people of all ages. Their Drug Addiction Rehab follows a 4 step program, that I think would be ideal for my son. I want him back the way he was before he ever started taking drugs, and Narconon has the program that I believe could do that.

I like the idea of their Sauna Based Detox Program that cleans the body of all chemical residues.
I found it very interesting that they use Educational Therapy to help a person gain back their self control. In my opinion, drug addiction is all about self control. I tell my son all the time, the drug owns you. Of course this upsets him deeply, but I am way past the time of trying to sugar coat anything with him. It does own him, and somehow he needs to be able to get control of himself again.

Of course he is a grown man, and I can't force him to do anything, nor can I put him in rehab. It has to come from him and a strong desire to want to overcome this. I'm not stupid, and I know that he will probably have to hit total rock bottom before this can happen. I just wish it didn't have to be that way. I wish I could turn back time. I wish I could have my son back.

If you live in CA and need help or know someone who needs help, visit Narconon or you can call them TOLL FREE: 1-866-822-8323.
