Not quite sick and tired of being sick and tired? For many individuals struggling with a drink, drug or food problem the seed is beginning to grow to seek some sort of help. Family and friends are making suggestions, some may be suggesting rehab but in the minds of the user they are holding on to a glimmer of hope that maybe they can solve the problem without having to commit to a period of intensive help. During this pre treatment phase denial is playing a huge role in the user’s life and although there may be a green shoot of motivation beginning to emerge from the darkness it is still a step too far to admit defeat and to seek help.
At Recovery in Reality we understand the confusion and struggle that is going on in the heads of those who need help but are not quite ready to commit. We offer a number of pre treatment opportunities for users to better understand their illness, be clearer about the damage it is causing them and those who they care about and to gain a better understanding about treatment and the different possibilities that exist to help them.
For many an independent assessment of their addiction with a better understanding of the consequences is sufficient for them to tap into their own motivation and elect to enter treatment. For others it is a beginning to a process that eventually leads to treatment; and for some an acknowledgement that help now will lead to a better tomorrow.
