Drug addiction is powerful and it not only affects the abuser it affects everyone around them as well. When you or your loved one is addicted to drugs you may feel as though you are on an emotional roller coaster. There are so many emotions that you feel, you may feel angry, confused and alone, like there is no one to reach out to. You are not alone, drug addiction happens and it happens in the best of neighborhoods, in the best of people, it doesn’t matter whether you live in a big city or a small town- it still happens. Now it is time for the tide to change, it’s time to heal. As a person enters a drug rehab for treatment, they have taken that step, the step they need to recover. Along the way, they have left a trail of lies, cheating, stealing, destroyed relationships that are now in need of repair.
