Battling with addiction...

Does one of your love ones or family member is suffering from Drug Abuse? Selecting a drug rehab center is one of the most important and difficult decisions you will make in your lifetime. Few of us know what to look for in a quality rehab program and not all drug rehabilitation centers are alike. Each drug rehab has its own program options, staff qualifications, credentials, cost, and effectiveness.

It is important that you are well educated about drug treatment options before selecting a drug rehab program. The things to consider is the success rate of the drug rehab program?

Most of the typical success rate of most drug rehabs is 2% to 20%.. There are drug rehabs with success rates as high as 75%.

Chronic drug abuse can have devastating effects on the user, his family, friends and business associates. Drug abuse is endemic, touching people from all socio-economic walks of life, from the mailroom to the boardroom. And while the substance of choice varies, the results of all drug abuse are usually predictable.

The common physical consequences of drug abuse include addiction, heart attack, respiratory failure, organ damage, hepatitis, stroke, seizure, and bizarre and violent behavior, often as the result of paranoid psychosis. Of course, the most serious - and final -- potential outcome of drug abuse is death.

The personal impact of drug abuse is equally devastating: financial ruin, loss of employment, legal entanglements, family trauma, shattered relationships, depression and hopelessness.
