Do you lay awake at night wondering if they will be there tomorrow?

We know what it’s like to wonder where it will end. We have met many others in the same predicament. We also know what it’s like to have those concerns become a thing of the past. Not something you are living with every day. When these worries and fears no more than memories. I cannot begin to explain the deep and lasting experience you have when you see someone you love finally become drug free. Many times even a better person than they were before and you are free of that worry once and for all.
What if I could show you how to really do something about the situation right now?
Actually, even more than that. I have now come the point where I know for certain they will come off drugs and never relapse because they are completely drug free and have found within themselves the strength of character that will hold them in stead no matter what the situation. A strength you knew they always really had hoped would get them through the tough spots in life. But I’ll come to the inner strength part in a minute.
Rational thought not possible
Drug addiction is a terrible mind dulling and destructive thing. People under the influence of drugs whether it is alcohol (which is a drug too when you look right into it) or street or legal “mind” drugs just cannot think straight. This makes it virtually impossible to reason with them. You are not talking to an analytical person you are talking to a drug affected person. They don’t call them “mind altering” drugs for nothing. Someone on mind altering drugs certainly has their mind altered and particularly the analytical or reasoning part. The chemicals in the drugs have actually addled their brains. This is what makes it so hard to get through to them. They just cannot see anything wrong with what they are doing. They will give you the most amazing irrational “explanations” of their actions as you have probably noticed.
Getting through the crazy talk
This makes doing something about the situation very challenging because one has to get through to the person that they have a problem without making them wrong as such but making enough impression to get them to face up to the situation they are actually in and to get their co-operation to do something about it. It takes a very special person to be able to manage this trick. Someone well trained and experienced with a track record of success in doing it. Even then success is not always guaranteed. No matter the expertness of the consultant sometimes the drug has taken the person over so much they are unreachable. This is incredibly sad, particularly when it is left too late and the drugs have completely taken over the person’s mind and they within themselves have given up too.
The losing battle
The thing is they know deep inside they are in trouble and lost. Many times they have tried to give up and failed every time such is the power the drugs have over them. It can’t be done alone. It can’t be done with brute force. Yes, you will find some who have quit and been drug free even for quite some time but I can tell you this, unless they have done our program the drugs are still there in their body waiting for the day for that moment of weakness to ooze out of the fat and into their veins and start the cravings. The battle they have lost time and time again.
Why they relapse
I must explain this point some more because what is not common knowledge and is a discovery that is only utilised in our program is that drugs stay in the fatty tissues in the body. Yes, that’s right. You see drugs are not water soluble they are fat soluble. This means that they can’t be washed out of the body with water no matter how much you drink. What happens is the residues of any drug the person has taken settle out of the blood as it circulates around the veins and lodge in the fat in the body. These residues stay there for life. They do not just work out of the fat over time by themselves. What happens is, a little bit seeps out of the fat into the bloodstream when the person engages in any heavy or strenuous work like exercise or sports. This makes the person again get a taste of the drug and brings on a desire to take drugs again. This is what is known as craving. It is so strong that in most cases they just can’t resist it and soon enough are back using again.
Program Failure
Any program that does not address this aspect of addiction will eventually fail the person. This is one of the not properly understood phenomena in drug rehabilitation and a main reason for relapse. It takes a special regimen to get these drug residues out of the person’s body only available in our program and is another one of the reasons why we have such a high success rate of long term drug free students. Because their bodies are completely drug free these later craving situations aren’t possible.
Can you imagine how it would feel to know your loved will never again have a relapse because of latent cravings? That there are no drugs left in their body to trigger a return to drug use?
Now comes the part where they get their strength back as a person.
Self-respect
A person on drugs has already lost all their self-respect. They lost it the moment they took their first dose. So berating them for taking drugs only makes matters worse because it makes them go on the defensive trying to prove themselves right. The intention to be right is the strongest intention in the universe. It is almost impossible to say “I was wrong” because at the exact moment in time that any person makes a decision about something they see it as right for them at that moment. After that if challenged they have to prove themselves right and will argue endlessly that it was the “right thing” to do.
Basic Decency
You see all people are basically good and decent. They certainly know when they have gone off the rails. They know at the very first instant they take their first drug they are at least stepping over the legal line even as they laugh it off to keep “in” with their “friends”. And I say “friends” with quotes because these pushers, promoters, persuaders, whatever you want to call them, are anything but “friends”. They have totally different motives and purposes in mind. They certainly don’t care about the person they are trying to get hooked. They know jolly well where that leads. They just want to make some sales or sometimes just want to bring their “friend” down to their level.
Having failed themselves they can’t stand someone else around them with more character and backbone. It’s almost an act of jealousy.
Past Experiences
But apart from that, a person has to be already weakened by some life experience or experiences before they can be tempted into drugs. They are usually trying to get away from some painful life situation for which they do not have a solution. It can be low school/college/university grades. It can be failing at some sports activity. It can be failing to get or hold a job or relationship. It can be an inability to stand up to peer pressure. It can be a lack of strong friends with the same basic decency they have. It can be, just wanting to be in with the crowd. It can be nothing more than boredom. It can be anything at all that is a problem or that makes a person feel they are left out or can’t be a part of some aspect of life.
Clear Body, Clear Mind
The first thing that we do is get the person completely clean of all drugs so they can think straight again. Yes, no matter what a drug taking person says they certainly cannot think straight. If they could they would never have started on drugs in the first place as drug taking is not a solution to the problems of life. It is a running away from living. It is certainly not a road to happiness. Drugs only dull the real senses and for a while cover up the pain they are enduring so they don’t feel so bad.
Learning to live within the system
In our program, after helping the person get their body clean, and ridding it of all drug residues so they never get cravings again we take them through a program of life skills. This is rehabilitation in its fullest sense. This is where the person gets to find out and understand how they got trapped in the beginning and how they can move on into a new life of useful work, competence and success. In this part of the program the person becomes a student. A student learning about how the system we all have to work within in actually works and how to work within the system and succeed within the laws of the land and as a decent human being. This is where the individual regains his self-respect, regains the trust from those he left behind and gets his ideals and dreams rehabilitated. This is where he re-ignites the old enthusiasm for living that once he had.
WHAT TO DO
If you have a dear friend, partner or loved one who needs to be rescued from the pits of drug addiction then now is the time to make the call that could well save their life.
