The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) released a study notating that treatment does not have to be voluntary for it to be effective. Sometimes putting your foot down and pushing a loved one out of the house may seem like coercion, but the drug user may need to hit rock bottom before treatment works.Addiction treatment research has also shown that mandated treatment can be useful. Sometimes the person is so lost in the fog of using that they can’t imagine getting help. When they are placed in a position where they have to get treatment, it can lead to better outcomes. If your family member is currently struggling with a substance use disorder involving drugs or alcohol, it’s imperative that they get the treatment they deserve. Sometimes you can get so lost in addiction that you can’t decipher the difference between fantasy and reality. Unfortunately, this is the path that can lead to darkness or even death.Let Serenity at Summit be the hand that guides you toward the bright light of sobriety.
