Deciding whether or not to seek treatment can be a difficult choice to make, especially when it comes to addiction. Some individuals may fear that they are not “addicted enough” or that they do not fit the typical profile of someone who seeks rehabilitation services.
Ultimately, the decision to seek drug or alcohol detox is a highly personal one that only the individual can make. If you’re experiencing a sense of being unable to control your substance use, it may be time to seek assistance.
