Columbus has made every effort to combat substance abuse. By creating more rehab and detox facilities, they have made it more accessible to those who need it most. It's not always easy to seek treatment and most of those people who are looking for help are ashamed that they have let their lives spiral so out of control. This is actually quite common.
But based on medical research, we now know that substance abuse is a medical impairment, not a criminal activity.
So do not let guilty hinder you from getting help, or helping a loved one. Travel to Augusta and take the steps in creating a life that you may have deemed impossible while being caught in the grips of the disease. You are worth it.
If your loved one is struggling with an intervention, consider providing them with an intervention. You may not have control over their behavior, but you have the power to communicate and that can go a long way. Even if the intervention does not successfully get the person into treatment, it plants a powerful seed. It's worth it.
