Drug Treatment Difficulties Anyone?

Question by Follow-the-narrow-gate: Drug treatment difficulties anyone?
So… I have started my second round of IOP (intensive outpatient) and I always find treatment difficult. The fact of sitting in a room full of alcoholics and addicts… who are talking about drugs (whether it is good or bad) makes me want to use even more. I am always trying to recover, but talking about drugs always makes me want to use.

Anyone else have these difficulties in treatment or in general ?

NOTE: Please do not put rude comments, because my recovery is a serious thing and you do not know me or anything about my recovery.

There is no cure for alcoholism. People learn how to abstain and manage the addiction if they really want help. The best place in the world can’t help someone who does not really want it.

Answer by Danny S
“De-addiction” might a word one might apply to drugs. But alcohol is not a drug and alcoholism is not an addiction. (Even though there are hundreds of PAID “Addictions” professionals who want us to believe so)
