People Who Suffer from Substance Addiction
Substance Abuse and Drug Rehabilitation are two categories of treatment that have been separated by the government. Since the time of the Second World War, Drug Rehabilitation has been a national movement. Governments around the world have established Drug Rehabilitation Programs to help those who suffer from substance abuse. The US government began creating drug rehabilitation programs in the late nineteen fifties.
At first, many people were not open to drug treatment. This was because of the fear of being arrested and going to jail. The fear of being in jail was more than enough to discourage people from having the self-discipline to participate in a rehab program.
Today, in the spirit of education and openness, drug rehab programs are teaching the public about drug use and how it destroys the public image. With this education, people are beginning to see the importance of treatment. Over the years, the abuse of alcohol, illegal drugs, nicotine, tobacco, and other substances has caused many deaths.
With sobriety comes success. Successful sobriety can help you live a sober life. A positive outlook can help you continue to achieve sobriety.
Sobriety is dependent on learning the consequences of drugs. One of the most important consequences of drugs is their effect on the body. When substances get into the body, it affects the body in many ways.
When these substances get into the body, there are serious repercussions. This can include heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer. Some of these consequences are too painful to even mention.
These drugs can cause death and disease. The problem is that they don’t say goodbye to you until you die or suffer from an illness.
If you do not live to complete your sobriety, you can be in serious complications. This is a problem that even health insurance does not cover when you are being treated for substance abuse or addiction.
Many times, the doctor will treat you at your own home in a drug rehabilitation facility. When this happens, the doctor will treat you without going through a Rehabilitation Program. Drug Rehab Lifeline are designed to help you manage your addictions.
At the end of the treatment program, you will no longer need treatment. With the right program, you can live a drug free life. Most rehabilitation programs require a 90-day stay.
Once you enter a treatment program, you will learn techniques to avoid addiction. Without treatment, you can suffer from the side effects of your addiction.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
