Television Is Covering Addiction These Days

By Kinder Louis


Many reality television shows are now on the air covering addiction. Addiction television shows are often hard to watch because many men and women in the world today have lost a loved one through addiction. Today, many families have to worry about their loved one being addicted to heroin, crack cocaine, meth, opiates and alcohol. Addiction is growing at an alarming rate and the government is having to take a serious look at what to do about the problem.

If you watch addiction on television, you may assume that it's easy to go through. Many addicts make it seem easy on television. All that you have to do is get yourself into a rehab and then 30 days later, you are drug and alcohol free. However, most addicts don't tell you all of the "red tape" that is involved in getting sober. For starters, addicts have to find the discipline enough to get into a treatment program that works best for them. Addicts across the world often have to go through rehab at least 2 or 5 times before they choose to live a sober life.

The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (Bill Wilson), said that he was not able to stay sober until he incorporated his faith into his sobriety. It is important to understand that faith is often the true healing source for most addicts. Detox takes around 7 days. However, changing your mind to stay off of drugs takes a lot longer. Most addicts have to go through group therapy and pastoral counseling before they can fully stay away from drugs. No matter what you are going through, addiction seems to take a toll on the mind, body and soul. It is important to ask someone for help if you need it.

Getting treated for an alcohol and drug addiction takes time. It takes a lot for someone to understand addiction because it is something that a lot of people endure. If you know someone that needs help, it is best to try calling around. Call treatment centers that say, "Free 30 day stay for treatment." These rehabs are often funded by religious groups and rehabs across the United States. Many TV shows have addicts fighting to stay alive. You get to see the entire picture of what it is to get high every day.

Alcohol and drug addiction is often something that most people do not want to talk about. It is something that shames a lot of families. However, once the problem is dealt with, addicts often find it easier to put the pieces to the puzzle together. Life is often hard for addicts. When you watch them on television struggling with their addiction, it is hard and often painful. You can often see yourself jumping out of your chair to help them. However, the war on drugs is alive in America today. Millions of men and women suffer from addiction. The problem only seems to be getting worse. The country must come together and take a stand against drugs.
