It was a strange way to judge people, in that I myself had a habit that I just couldn't seem to fix...or rather, I could fix in all the wrong ways. A good friend of mine who had spent a few weeks in a drug rehab center before relapsing kept talking about all these skills that he was supposed to have learned in those few weeks. It seemed to me that the skills he kept mentioning were ones that would take a great deal longer than a month or so to really pick up on enough to take with you when you left.

Cognitive Restructuring is a Necessary Part of Drug Rehab
The reason why numerous drug rehab programs don't work is because of their improper curriculum. They lack the energy and knowledge to take the addicted and restructure them to a higher calibration. A chemically addicted person's cells are saturated with the DNA of every drug they've taken. They become wholly addicted, that is mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Cocaine Addiction usually starts innocently as an experiment or as just going along with the crowd. For some people, cocaine use remains casual. But for many the 'rush' or sense of 'euphoria' is just too tantalizing and the casual cocaine user gradually becomes an addict without even realizing it, even after it totally rules their life. It is as though cocaine addiction has an inherent denial of itself. Even after being arrested, incarcerated and rehab, an addict often totally denies that there is any problem. This is the real problem of drug addiction: the complete denial that there is any addiction. It is this denial that ultimately leads to the addicts' life spiraling out of control.
