Addiction is a physical, mental and spiritual disease not a habit or the absence of will power. While physically, broken bones and damaged livers can be healed with medical intervention, the physiological dependence, emotional voids and mental distress can only be relieved by stopping the intake of Drugs /Alcohol. This can be a very difficult and traumatic experience for the patient and their family. Identifying the right drug rehab or Alcohol de-addiction centre is the first step.
