The Journey Beyond Sobriety: How Serenity Vista Helps You Discover a New Life Vision
Going to rehab can seem like a radical thing to do. It is one thing to admit we have a ‘bit of a problem’, but isn’t residential treatment only required for the most serious cases? Even if family or friends are advocating this type of help, we can still feel resistant to the idea – as well as resentful that it is being suggested at all.
Subjectively determining our needs in regards to addiction treatment can be tricky, and there is a real risk that we will underestimate the amount of support and help that is required. If we were diagnosed with cancer, we would probably want the best treatment available, but subtle denial means we can fail to see how the same applies to an addiction (which is equally serious).
We humans easily fall into the trap of cognitive biases that allow us to minimize our problems. There can also be a feeling of ‘terminal uniqueness’ where we become convinced that the normal rules don’t apply to us. Then there is the feeling of shame at not being able to sort out our own problems. These cognitive biases can destroy any hope we have of a better future if we allow them to.
The first thing to understand about rehab is that the goal of this treatment is far more than just getting you physically clean and sober. The real purpose of this program is to help you create a new life of peace of mind and heart where you no longer feel the need to use alcohol or drugs.
It could be viewed as unreasonable for others to keep ‘pushing’ the idea of rehab if you feel certain this is not an appropriate solution for you. But before you dismiss this option completely, you owe it to yourself to fully consider what it is you are saying ‘no’ to. There can be a great deal of misunderstanding about who needs this type of treatment and what exactly it involves.

Quitting chemical dependency or substance abuse is relatively straightforward, and it is staying stopped that is the real challenge.
A feeling of shame may be holding you back from choosing rehab. You may be worried that going with an addiction rehab treatment option could damage your career or make you appear weak. This type of fear is understandable, but the reality is that continued alcoholism or other form of addiction is far more likely to harm your reputation than going to rehab. One of the benefits of choosing Serenity Vista is we respect your privacy and nobody at home or work even needs to know that you have received treatment unless you want them to.
