Drug and alcohol rehab centres abroad are a very valid option for those seeking help. But before examining why, let’s look back a little in the history of the drug and alcohol user. Heavy drinkers and drug users very often come to a place in life when alcoholism and addiction take over. Some, if not all, elements of life become totally unmanageable, and pressures mount incessantly. Everywhere the addict goes and everything the alcoholic does, on a daily basis, is connected to alcohol or drugs; friends and associates, the things in the house, music, clothing, neighbourhoods – the whole shebang is linked to the primary purpose of the sufferer – to consume substances and find ways and means to consume more.
When an addict or alcoholic becomes sick and tired of being sick and tired, and when the efforts to go ‘cold turkey’ or utilise home detox have proved useless and painful, something must change. Having spent many weeks months or years in a hopeless cycle of trying to control substance use by grasping 2 to 3 days of abstinence, the addict and alcoholic normally find a hundred excuses to take the insane decision to use again. Hence, trying to get clean and sober is very, very difficult – especially during the early stages when the urge to use drugs or drink is intense. Most sufferers, in reality, have no idea what it really takes to withdraw and be ready for recovery.
Eventually, often out of desperation, it becomes evident that to increase the chances of staying off drugs, exploring the possibilities a short, mid, or long term stint in drug or alcohol rehab centres abroad, or at home, could be a valid alternative to the endless cycle of failure and despair.
So why consider drug and alcohol rehab centres abroad, over those at home? There are many good reasons. Centres at home are plagued by drawbacks and unavoidable triggers.
