What Are the Benefits of Substance Abuse Treatment?
Question by aubrie s: What are the benefits of substance abuse treatment?
I mean, aside from the fact that it would get to treat an individual and make him sober again. It’s just that addiction treatments cost so much that I was just wondering if it’s really worth it.
Best answer:
Answer by alissa dp
Look at it this way: when you enter a person into a substance abuse treatment program, you would be giving that one person another chance to better his life. If he does succeed in recovering from his substance abuse problem, that’s one person that will be able to resume his productivity and be of help to society. Besides, think of the money that an addict spends for the drugs he consumes. There are times wherein an addict is so desperate to get drugs that he is practically forced to steal just so he could appease his craving. If that addict is then treated for his addiction, then he wouldn’t have to spend so much on drugs and there would also be less violence. Though treatment programs for substance abusers may be costly, I think it’s all worth it.

Substance Abuse Self-Help Book Recommendations for Young People?
Question by Tara E: Substance abuse self-help book recommendations for young people?
I know it’s probably not saying a lot that I need a book to help me fix myself, but I tend to respond well to receiving information and then teaching myself to practice it, which in my experience has been better than actual therapy. My therapist did nothing but tell me that “everything would be okay” while prescribing me meds. And meanwhile
I have depression and anxiety and struggle with substance abuse. I used to be a university student, dropped out in my third year and moved to the city and now I’m broke, have several collections agencies after me, I party often and I am stuck in this cycle or fear and doom that basically prevents me from doing anything constructive.
What I am looking for is something I can read that has some sort of “get your sad, young life back together so you can progress into a person that productive/stable/functional”
I’m open to anything because I’m basically not knowing what to do and oddly enough yahoo answers sometimes actually has good answers from people who know based on experience.
I am scared that if I keep going this way it will not end well. Please help.
