Addiction Advice

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.

Each human being has a physical self and the ego self (mental, emotional, spiritual). At birth there's a constant battle between human nature and its wants. People who have a weak ego generally have little self-mastery. It's very easy for them to give into the addictions of the flesh. They often spend their whole life pursuing their addictions and end up in the swamp of hopelessness and depression. They remain captive and worship the chemical of their choice.

In order to escape from the chains of their bad choices, requires that light and hope enter the ego self. Leaving their self-imposed prison requires strength beyond themselves. As long as the ego stays feeble, lost, bewildered and deceived, no steps to sobriety can be taken.

Desire and self-awareness are the 1st steps toward sobriety. Self-deception, denial and pride are immense stumbling blocks that keep the addicted from leaving their prison. Humility, a willingness to abstain and emerge out of secrecy takes extraordinary strength that many cannot muster, especially on their own.

The one counseling tool that works best to help addicts overcome is cognitive restructuring. Cognitive restructuring can help the addicted overcome their thinking errors and self destructive behaviors. This first step must be taken in order for the last to ever be achieved.
