Drug Addiction and Alcoholism Counseling

"I was suffering from an actual disease that had a name and symptoms like diabetes or cancer or TB-and a disease was respectable, not a moral stigma" Alcoholics Anonymous, circa 1935

The fact that there are thousands of facilities providing drug addiction and
alcoholism treatment around the country demonstrates a positive shift in societies
view of this countries biggest health risk. Treatment for drug addiction and
alcoholism is effective. However, treatment for these disorders can be very
expensive and many can not afford to participate in a treatment center for their
drug addiction / alcoholism. Not every one suffering from chemical dependency or
substance abuse warrants the same level of care and may not be appropriate for a
drug and alcohol treatment center, or perhaps have recently graduated from a
treatment center and currently looking for a solid aftercare component.

The Misunderstanding That Has Persisted For Decades
Because of the ineffectual and fainthearted efforts at dissemination of
scientific information to the general public the population suffering from drug
addiction / alcoholism has been viewed as being morally bankrupt. The view
that chemical dependency is anything other then a primary, progressive
chronic illness is keeping this country hostage. It is filling our jails and
prisons, only to release these same people back into society without
treatment of their malady. Treatment of drug addiction / alcoholism has
been shown to be very effective and enables an individual to return to being
a productive member of family, employment and society.
This illness that pleagues our society, Drug Addiction / Alcoholism is
treatable!
