What Are the Main Barriers to Recovery?

If you or someone you know is seeking recovery from a drug or alcohol addiction in Royal Palm Beach, or elsewhere, there are many barriers to overcoming addiction.

The primary barrier is the addiction itself. Addiction is a chronic behavioral and psychological disease. It is treated like other chronic diseases, and is very difficult to overcome by yourself without the help of therapy and medical care.

Another barrier is the difficulty to stop using substances. This is tied into addiction as the brain changes its wiring and chemistry to get people to use more substances that they are dependent on. It's also difficult quitting because some people are afraid of the painful withdrawal symptoms.

When you enter a detox center, the medical staff can help you with your withdrawals. They can prescribe meds to help you with intense withdrawal pains. Don't let the fear of withdrawals keep you from getting clean.

Another barrier to recovery is cost. Rehab can be expensive, but don't give up hope if you can't afford it. Many insurance carriers now cover rehab, and you can also ask the treatment center if they have a payment plan to work with you on the bills. In addition, most states have rehab programs for people unable to afford it. Give us a call and we'll help you find treatment for you! (866) 578-7471 .
