TALKING ABOUT REHAB

St. John’s Rehab

Talking Rehab

When the person’s consumption worries you, the first step is to discuss it with them. You will see if they recognize a problem or are in total denial. If the person acknowledges the problem, you are halfway to a solution. You should be now ready to start searching for a rehab centre.

However, someone who refuses to acknowledge a problem will require more work. Being patient and attempting several conversations can be necessary. This applies when the person’s life is not in jeopardy by their use.

If the person’s is in danger, a family can consider an intervention. There are two options. The first is to plan an intervention with family members. The second would be to seek help from a professional. Having an experienced person monitor and coordinate it is a sound idea.

Many private treatment centres will offer intervention services.

St. John's & Addiction

To understand substance abuse in St. John’s, it’s essential to know something about addiction itself. To begin with, the majority of people do not set out to become addicted. When a person faced with an unwanted, unpleasant situation, a traumatic circumstance, or a painful accident, they will seek out a solution for it.

When the solution is nowhere in sight, eventually the person will find relief in some prescription medication, street drugs, or alcohol.

Most of these substances will bring momentary relief. When the effect wears off the pain returns and wanting to escape it, they use more of the drug. Soon the dosage has less impact, and higher dosages are used, after a while, the body becomes dependent and needs it to function. Now, the person has a new problem called addiction.
