If there’s anything that’s constant in life, it’s that things change. Much like those afflicted by drug addiction who begin to subtly change their behavior and the way they relate to those around them until they come to a point where everything and everyone seem to lose importance to the addiction that they have.
Some attribute addiction to several causes such as self-medication to cope with traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, a growing sense of hopelessness, loneliness and the list goes on. It’s important for addicts to know that they are not alone because if there’s anything that will take these once bright and cheerful people down a path of no return is the fact that they seclude themselves from society.
In order to meet with this growing challenge, addiction treatment has changed over the years from using a one-size-fits-all method to catering to each patient and by looking deeper into the root cause of what caused the addiction in the first place. Newer forms of therapy as well as using the support of loved ones and friends have been found to work best with addicts who are in Drug Rehab.
Cirque Lodge is one such place that explores and combines modern therapy with good old fashioned physical activity so that the patient during the course his or her treatment is kept occupied with wholesome activity that will keep his or her mind off the addiction.
However, once the patient leaves the rehab center, he leaves yet again as a ‘changed’ man or woman.
