As you prepare for the coming New Year celebrations, you may be wondering what your resolution will be. If you’re currently in recovery, or plan to be, then your goals will likely be related to achieving and maintaining long-term sobriety. But how do you know which approach to take when it comes to overcoming an addiction?
Knowing When You Need Recovery
With over 700,000 deaths by overdose since 2000 in the United States alone, it’s important to understand when it’s time to seek out professional help. Whether it’s abuse of drugs or alcohol, the long-term side effects of substance abuse only worsen the longer the condition goes untreated.
One of the first signs that your substance use is starting to turn into abuse is that you begin developing a tolerance. A high tolerance means you’ll need to drink or use more drugs in order to get the same intensity of effects as before. When you notice you need more to get drunk or high, it’s time to take a step back and review your relationship with substance use.
If you don’t intervene early enough, you’ll find that other parts of your life start becoming impacted by your substance use. School or work performance may begin to suffer and your financial situation can quickly start declining. Getting ahead of these problems keeps them from becoming even larger issues down the road, and the best answer is addiction treatment.
Fully Immerse Yourself in Treatment
Making the decision to start treatment for substance abuse issues is a big step to take, but one that should be done with total confidence. Starting treatment is the best choice you can make, and completing your rehab at America’s Rehab Campus makes long-term sobriety easier than ever to find.
Our team of clinicians, psychologists and therapists leverage the latest in treatment modalities to discover the driving forces behind your addictive tendencies. Medical detox makes the withdrawal process safe and comfortable, with 24/7 supervision to monitor your symptoms and treat each one accordingly.
Treatment is also where you’ll develop the skills and learn the lessons needed to stay sober long after rehab ends. Healthy coping mechanisms and a strong support system are both vital to a successful recovery, and you’ll find all of this during your time at ARC.
