Will Alcohol and Drug Rehab Help My Relationship?

The impact of alcohol and drug use on relationships can be severe:
     ---arguments
     ---misunderstandings
     ---broken promises
     ---betrayal
     ---disappointment
     ---guilt and shame

Tense situations fueled by alcohol or drugs lower the threshold of our patience, impairs judgment and lessens impulse control, damaging a person or a family for life.  This cycle of destructive relationship interactions can continue until one or both of the people get off the sinking ship.

Alcohol Rehab helps you and your loved ones to:
     ---Recognize that alcohol and drugs are the problem, not the person
     ---Stop trying to change each other and learn to accept the other person
     ---Attend support groups to talk to others who understand
     ---Overcome mistrust and find hope
     ---Experience relaxation for the first time in a long time
     ---Be honest in their daily lives
     ---Recognize the cycle of addiction that leads to relapse and build in new recovery pathways.

I began working with people who suffer from addiction problems since 1981 and have seen hundreds of couples repair and strengthen their relationships with partners, parents, children, extended family, friends and  employers. Yes, Alcohol and Drug Rehab will help your relationship. Give yourself a chance to recover.

A-Z of Addiction recovery - U is for Us

Understand

Addictive behaviors can be very lonely and isolating, but those of us in recovery understand what it is like to "hit bottom," rise up, ask for help, get it, and get better. Only another addict can understand what its like to be so powerless, and in the clutches of cravings and addiction.
At Lasting Recovery, we understand because we 've been there. Everyone's bottom may look a little different, perhaps the loss of health, a relationship, a job, children, legal freedoms, homes, etc..but its about experiencing painful losses associated with out of control addictive behaviors.

You are not alone. We understand. We have over 26, 28, and 32 years of sobriety so we know how to sustain a lasting recovery program with continued abstinence, and with more balance. We will teach you how to live a life of sobriety with discussions, videos, readings, a workbook you get to keep, and group support for problem solving, stress reduction, and meditation. We will introduce you to self-help meetings. You will be in a place where people understand your pain and know how to help you recover. The fact that there is help available for you is all you need to understand to get started.
