ADDICTION REHAB - IT’S A GAME CHANGER!
 Rehab is a journey – a journey that usually lasts a lifetime. It is a complete change of
lifestyle and mindset, and sometimes a change of friends or even family members.
Some people can go it alone, but most need the guidance and support of others to
fight this voracious monster. For rehab to be effective, it must fit the individual or
target population, and there must be ongoing support and community resources.
 The good news is that addiction is considered a disease that is highly treatable.
There is no one prouder than a recovering addict, sometimes even to the point of
annoyance on the part of their loved ones! Successful rehab can save families,
neighbourhoods, and societies. From addiction to rehab is a long and sometimes
lonely road but, given that we are each only allotted 1 chance at life (as far as we
know!), it is so worth climbing over the highest obstacles and climbing out of the
lowest potholes and joining the ranks of those who can say, “I am a recovering
addict”.
