Why Should I Travel for Treatment?
Traveling to another city or state for addiction treatment is an effective way of receiving therapy. When you travel for your treatment, you get away from the harmful influences that may be contributing to your abuse. Influences like work and family stresses, other people who use, places where you may go to buy drugs or alcohol, and other environments that may tempt you to use.
