Is There Help for Me?

Being an addict in a city where the majority of the population is religious can add even more of a feeling of exile and loneliness. Not necessarily because of the religious followers directly but because personally you feel isolated, that no one else understands your addiction troubles.

But you are not alone, there are people who want to help. Hiding your addiction won't help your situation it will only make it worse. Lakewood has facilities that will give you your life back by showing you that you are strong enough to fight your addiction.

If your friends and family have already helped you by holding an intervention for you, then it is time to look into detox and rehab. If you feel those around will not understand your substance abuse problems, look into traveling to another city or state to stay focused on recovery.

If you are seeking help for your addiction, you should not feel guilty or embarrassed. Admitting to people that you have a problem is a great start to head in a better direction.

Consider traveling for treatment to begin in a new place away from the temptations and people that lead you down the wrong road. Relapse numbers are a lot higher when people get treatment in their home town. Sometimes leaving the comfort of your town can go a long way in fostering long-term freedom from drugs and alcohol.
