The Emotional and Financial Cost of Alcohol and Drug Addiction

The emotional and financial cost of alcohol and drug addiction on the addict and his or her family and friends


It is an understatement that drug addiction or alcohol addiction changes one’s life. The emotional and financial impact of any addiction will be felt for many years, and perhaps will never disappear. The emotional cost of drug addiction can adversely affect an addict’s family and friends in ways that can never be imagined.

As life disrupting as it might be, the best action of an addict is his or her decision to attend a drug or alcohol rehab facility.
Going to a drug and alcohol rehab facility for a period of time will remove an addict from the environment that he or she associates with the addiction. The addict will be isolated and nurtured in a new environment. The drug addict will be the center of attention for the time he is attending at drug rehab facility. He will feel he is important, he is respected and he is surrounded by people who try to understand him, rather than judge him. He is with others suffering from the same illness he is suffering from, the disease of drug addiction or alcohol addiction.

In an alcohol or drug rehab facility he will learn the underlying factor of his addiction, and causes of relapse. He will learn in group therapy sessions to talk about his illness, to touch on his fears and hopes and how those emotions affect his drug addiction or his alcohol addiction. He or she will talk about his or her past and events that have somehow impacted his or her life. The addicted individual will learn to put his problems in perspective, and see the positive in addition to the negative, and seek solutions for each one of those problems. Through daily group therapy, individual therapy and simple interaction with others going through the same journey as he is, he will know there is a path to recovery from the life of drug or alcohol addiction that will set him free. He will learn how to find that path and what dangers lay on that path that will force him off that path. The drug rehab facility’s counselors will spend many hours talking about the possibility of relapse and the events that can trigger a relapse. A good drug rehab facility provides proven techniques incorporating the traditional methods of drug and alcohol rehabilitation like the 12 Step, with other methods such as holistic approach to recovery to provide a more effective recovery program with a shorter recovery time. A good drug or alcohol rehab facility puts as much emphasis in teaching life skills for an addicts future life as to understanding of the addicts past life.
