News in Drug Treatment & Drug Abuse

Definition of Drug Treatment

The better drug rehab and treatment centers around the country are state licensed and certified and must meet certain criteria and standards that encourage a healthy, therapeutic environment.
However, state agencies cannot possibly dictate the quality of a drug treatment center's staff. The best treatment centers hand-pick their staff according to experience, drug abuse educational background, communication skills, and especially their compassion abilities. California Treatment Center meets all the above standards.

The quality of the drug treatment facilities and grounds are first class. The curriculum and methods of therapy are state-of-the-art. But the proudest component of CTC and what sets it apart from other treatment centers is its people. While having helped thousands recover from drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism, the philosophy of CTC stays the same: all this company's myriad resources go into serving the next client who has a desire to change.

Drug Abuse

Try looking at drug abuse, treatment and addiction this way:

• Drug addiction or alcoholism is a highly treatable disease. (continued suffering is optional)
• No addict really likes the way he/she has to use drugs or alcohol.
• The temptation to use can be outgrown in an honest, responsible, character-building environment.
• Personal growth feels better and lasts longer than any drug.
• The hardest part about treatment and recovery is getting started, the rest is reward.
• Imagine feeling well enough where the influence of a drug seems negative. Imagine running on a beach, hobbies and social activities, falling in love again, reuniting with loved ones.
• Nobody ever planned to become an addict, so you don't have to feel too bad about it.
• A human being's birthright is to feel ok.
• Recovery is guaranteed when a person decides not to give up.
• The Human Spirit is more powerful than any drug.

It's not too difficult to explain the drug treatment and recovery process in regards to drug abuse and chemical addiction. Of course there are underlying causes for any compulsive or obsessive disorder. And if we spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and five years lying on a psychiatrist's couch, we could discover those issues. But intellectual discovery doesn't necessarily equate into personal growth. Quality chemical dependency treatment is more along the lines of introducing a person to the human experience of maturity. Addiction thrives on immaturity, causes more selfish behavior, causes more immaturity….

"I drank because I felt like a "nothing." Drinking made me feel like an "almost." To a "nothing" an "almost" was acceptable until sobriety gave me everything!"
-Anonymous pitch from a 12-step group

When a person checks into drug treatment they are really entering into a world of reality that has a safety net. The opportunity is to confront ones own issues at a rate that one can handle. Self discovery cannot be forced on to a person, it must come out of a person based on his own level of willingness and the security he feels with those around him. He is trying new forms of communication, exploring new feelings, relating to others without the aid of a chemical, and basically feeling generally at risk now that he is without his chemical suit of armor. And every issue that he makes the effort to work through becomes an experience that begins to reintegrate his personality. Clinicians call this process self actualization.
