These days, based on my observation, even teenagers in our community I may say addicted in different kind of drugs like the marijuana, cocaine and heroin. This is because I always see those young teenagers with their much older friends taking up these kind of drugs near our house no matter what time it is. I think their parents or family doesn’t know about their doing and even them. They are abusing not only their physical health, but also their mental or mind that they didn’t even realized the outcome of their doing. And in most instances, their future life may affect them by these drugs. Some may drove them in jail while most of them in any drug rehab center by means of drug detoxification for their health recovery.
With the help of the government and the Chapman House which is a drug rehab center, it was good for those adults not only addicted in such drugs, but also suffering from alcoholism, has an eating disorders, depression, and other co-occurring disorders to reside in this rehabilitation center which it have an extended care facility. This is a confidential and comfortable residential drug treatment program that is designed to break the vicious cycle of drug and/or alcohol addiction. They will be residing then in a peaceful and nurturing environment while receiving care both medically and emotionally throughout their stay.
In addition, this Chapman House has also its intervention, and with their interventionist those people who engaged in any self-destructive behavior such as a person with a drinking problem, drug abuse problem, gambling problem, psychiatric problem, and person who is extremely depressed, helps them. These interventionists can breaks through the person’s denial by approaching several of his/her defense mechanisms all at once. Removing or short-circuiting the person’s defense mechanisms allows the family to present the truth about his/her problem in a calm, rational and loving manner. No matter who all these persons are, the most important thing is to recover them from fall.
