You Can Recover Freedom From Addiction Presented by Melissa Evans
By changing attitudes and finding solutions through our own program of recovery, we can regain our sense of hope, serenity, freedom, and joy. -Anonymous
What is Addiction? Drug addiction is a complex illness characterized by intense and, at times, uncontrollable drug craving, along with compulsive drug seeking and use that persists even in the face of devastating consequences.  But you can get help!
Are You at Risk? As with many other conditions and diseases, vulnerability to addiction differs from person to person. Your genes, age when you started taking drugs, and family and social environment all play a role in addiction.
Risk Factors Family history of addiction  Abuse, neglect, or other traumatic experiences in childhood  Mental disorders such as depression and anxiety  Early use of drugs
Know the Signs Do you feel like you can’t stop, even if you wanted to?  Do you ever feel bad or guilty about your drug use?  Do you need to use drugs to relax or feel better? Do your friends or family members complain or worry about your drug use?
Know the Signs Do you hide or lie about your drug use? Have you ever done anything illegal in order to obtain drugs?  Do you spend money on drugs that you really can’t afford? Do you ever use more than one recreational drug at a time?
Getting Help If you’re ready to admit you have a drug problem…. Congratulations! Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery.
Freedom Can Be Yours You can be free if you want it and are willing to work hard for it. Recovery from addiction is a difficult process, especially in the beginning. It’s very important to find a treatment program that is right for you.
A Good Place to Start Repeat this to yourself several times each day. The Serenity Prayer God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Strength to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.  Just for Today.
It Takes Patience and Work Because drug abuse and addiction have so many dimensions and disrupt so many aspects of an individual's life, TREATMENT IS NOT SIMPLE.
You Can Do It Addiction treatment goals: Stop using drugs. Maintain a drug-free lifestyle. Function productively in family, at work and in society.
Forms of Treatment Inpatient Treatment Long term Short term Chemical Intervention Methadone Suboxone Naltrexone Implants
Narcotics/Alcoholics Anonymous Go to Meetings Get a Sponsor Work the 12-Step Program Stay Clean
One Day at a Time Recovery is an ongoing process. There are no quick fixes for      drug addiction and alcoholism. Most addicts need months or 	                                      even years of counseling.
Don’t Give Up! Don’t drink or drug-No matter what. Develop a support system. Take it a day at a time. Give yourself credit for clean time.
Learn to Live Again There is life after addiction. Avoid old people, places and things. Set goals. Form new relationships. Take it slow.
A New Life Begins Here If you or someone you know suffers with drug or alcohol addiction-Make the call. 1-800-784-6776 Do it NOW!
