3 Tips for Success with Residential Addiction Rehab: Part 2
When you finally commit to a residential addiction rehab program, it’s important to make the most of your time there so you can give yourself the best possible chance for a long-lasting recovery. After all, you aren’t just investing your time and money, you’re investing in yourself! In this post we’ll explore tips and suggestions for making every day in rehab count.
4. Don’t be Afraid to Ask Questions
Addiction rehab is an ongoing learning process, and it works best when you are actively engaged with your treatment plan. If you don’t understand why you’re being asked to do something, or if you want to learn more about any of the components of your personalized treatment plan, don’t be afraid to ask. The more you understand about how addiction works, the better prepared you’ll be to maintain your recovery after you successfully complete the rehab program.
5. Forget About an Easy Fix
Recovering from drug or alcohol addiction takes hard work, personal commitment and dedication. Yes, there will be challenging times ahead, and you’ll need to deal with the difficult process of grieving your addiction. But remember this: You are not alone. Your counselors are here to help, your peers are going through the same things and many people successfully complete rehab before going on to live happy, healthy, productive lives. You can too!
6. Don’t Beat Yourself Up!
No matter what you’ve done as a result of your addiction, you deserve to feel happiness; you deserve to feel like you matter. While it’s normal to experience feelings of guilt and sadness, you can’t let these negative emotions prevent you from progressing through recovery. Be open with your therapist when these feelings start to become overwhelming. Beating yourself up isn’t going to solve anything.
