When drug addiction hits a family, everyone goes into survival mode. There's a glaring problem, but no one seems to know how to make it better.

Drug addiction does so many bad things to people. It destroys relationships, it disrupts careers, it erodes personal health, and it perpetuates itself unless someone stops it. Drug addiction is like a runaway train bent on destruction. People don't head towards drug addiction because they welcome these problems. They are just trying to cope.

Addiction Treatment
The Need For Addiction Treatment
Drug abuse and drug addiction are ongoing problems in the United States. Some who use infrequently-once a week or less-may find themselves able to quit by sheer willpower, it is rare that someone who is physically addicted to drugs and alcohol will be able to stop without professional assistance and rehabilitation.
In fact, the Office of National Drug Control Policy reports that professional drug addiction treatment like the program at The Canyon not only has a 40 percent to 60 percent variable success rate but also provides a significant reduction in criminal activity as well since most alcoholics and addicts who commit crimes only do so because they are under the influence and/or need to finance their habit.
The health and wellbeing of alcoholics and addicts who enroll in and complete addiction treatment is also improved. The risk of contracting diseases like Hepatitis C and HIV is exponentially decreased since sharing needles is one of the most common ways to pass these viruses. Unprotected sex, another avenue of disease sharing, is another activity that slows and stops when an addict's judgment is no longer clouded by drugs and alcohol, thereby decreasing significantly the chances of contracting any number of diseases.
The Benefits of Addiction Treatment
There are a number of obvious benefits to the person with drug and alcohol addiction who takes the positive step forward into addiction treatment, but there are a number of benefits that may not be as immediately obvious. Spiritual, financial, emotional and community benefits are numerous.
Emotionally and spiritually, those who enroll in addiction treatment with an open heart and mind will be more successful in rebuilding their self esteem, personal relationships and establishing a spiritual connection. Growth in these areas is only possible when a meaningful treatment for alcohol and drug use like The Canyon's addiction treatment program has begun.
As far as financial and community resources are concerned, addiction treatment allows those who formerly dedicated their money and time to using to change direction and invest instead in the people and community around them. Jobs, careers, sports, volunteer work, hobbies, family events-suddenly you have the time and money for a world of opportunities that may not have even occurred to you yet. Ultimately, that is the biggest benefit of addiction treatment: unlimited possibility.
Dual Diagnosis and Addiction Treatment at The Canyon
The Canyon is a unique addiction treatment center in that it provides a clinically-based program designed to meet the needs of individuals who are struggling with drug and alcohol abuse as well as psychiatric and emotional disorders. Drug addiction in combination with any other disorder creates a condition referred to as "dual diagnosis" or "co-occurring disorders." Many drug treatment facilities are not equipped to handle anything beyond drug treatment. The Canyon is different.
