Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) December 7, 2005 -–
Drug addiction and alcoholism burdens many families across the world, regardless of race, creed, or financial status. The craving that an addict feels can be as strong as the need for food or water. An addict cannot refrain, despite serious family, health, or legal problems – and unfortunately like many other diseases, alcoholism addiction is chronic, meaning that it lasts a person's lifetime.
During the holidays, loved ones of addicts, as well as the addict themselves, find themselves confronted with several different emotions. Feelings such as loneliness, guilt, and depression can attach to a recovering addict and become malignant. Even those undergoing recovery in a drug and alcohol rehab program find it increasingly difficult to remain clean and sober during the holidays due to these overpowering emotions.
For addicts, as well as friends and family members alike, programs exist that can help with these negative emotions. These programs consist of detox, inpatient care, dually diagnosed care, interventions and family sessions to assist the addict and those around them through the entire recovery process.
