Do I Need Treatment?

Addiction treatment and recovery is connected to our social support and who we identify with. We form our social connections based on other’s shared experiences and our ability to related to them. While this is not an issue during use, finding the healthy support needed to stay sober can be difficult. Seeking treatment provides an opportunity to meet others who share in your similar struggles and strive to abstain from use. This is also why receiving treatment can be a crucial part of recovery. Taking part in group therapy and individual therapy helps provide the support that is needed in times of stress. Seeking treatment helps you to feel that you are not alone and even help your situation seem abnormal without compromising boundaries. Working on recovery within a group context can help provide growth in ways that are healthy and creative.
