When You Reach Bottom – Don’t Give Up
The bottom is different for everyone. What constitutes the absolute last straw in one person’s life is not the same as someone else. One thing is constant, though: it feels the same. You feel as though you’re worthless, untrustworthy, a liar, a cheat, unloveable. You hate that you’ve let your loved ones down, maybe even destroyed your relationships with friends, family, co-workers and others. Perhaps you’ve brought financial ruin or social disgrace on the family. You may have spent time in jail or are facing felony or misdemeanor charges for your actions committed while you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment Programs
By Leslie Thompson
When struggling with addiction, an individual is faced with an enormous amount of stress. From trying to cope with the physical detox of a substance to reprogramming one’s mental processing to avoid the addictive cycle, even the most minute task or chore may seem daunting and unattainable. Choosing an appropriate therapy or treatment program should not add to this nerve-racking period. Upon evaluation from a physician or clinical therapist, a patient should be informed about several different types of treatment programs based on their needs, goals, and diagnosis. One such program is Intensive Outpatient Treatment.
