Drug Rehab

It's all over the news. Stars and sports "heroes" enter drug rehab facilities to fix what's gone wrong in their lives. You'd think with all the drug information and education available, those would be the people we could use as good examples of staying drug free.

Along with the famous, there are the not-so-famous who also seek drug help from facilities such as Stone Hawk. This facility is unique in that it is operated by former addicts who have turned their lives around and become drug free. They know firsthand the difficulties involved in kicking a habit such as this. They know the reasons why people start abusing drugs to begin with. And they know the words to say and the actions to take to get clean again.

It's difficult to receive counseling from someone who's never experienced such a problem. That person really doesn't know all the ins and outs of addiction. But a person who has endured addiction and overcome it to victory over it can lead others so much better.
