But there may be something holding you back from the bright future that Worcester offers. If you've become addicted to drugs or alcohol, then you might feel as though you don't have a future and you'll always be chasing your next fix. That doesn't have to be the case though because you can overcome substance abuse and dream again about the possibilities that your future holds. You may need to get out of Worcester for a while and travel to an inpatient facility to detox safely and or you might need outpatient therapy. But if you don't know what you want or need, you aren't alone. We want to help you find the solution that is right for you. According to statistics, people who use drugs exclusively constitute the highest number of rehabilitation center admissions, so don't think that you are in this alone.
If you or someone you love is addicted to drugs or any other substance, please call us at (866) 578-7471 for help today.
Are Group Meetings Rehab?
Many recovering addicts draw a great benefit from group meetings like AA, CA and NA. They can help their recovery, but they aren't considered rehab. It's more effective for an addict to admit themselves into a treatment center where they are under medical supervision. Addiction specialists can't always be counted on to appear at group meetings, and to be effective would need to know the patient's full medical history. Group meetings also aren't the proper forum for addiction professionals to provide medical treatment to recovering addicts.
If you're considering treatment, think about traveling to another city or state for your care. Traveling for treatment moves you away from negative influences so you can completely focus on getting better in rehab.
Many people may feel isolated in their drug use, and many people may continue to feel that after completing treatment. Fortunately, Worcester Massachusetts has several support groups and local meetings available to provide extra motivation for staying clean, as well additional information about addiction and relapse triggers to reduce to probabilities of relapsing in the future. These groups are free and very accessible in Worcester, all you have to do is attend. You can meet peers just like you at group meetings, and create a support group among them. Also consider joining a 12-step program to further help your recovery.
