When I Was Ready To Make Some Serious Changes, I Went To The Vancouver Rehab Center

I reached a point in my life where I had come to the end of my rope and I just could not continue suffering through the emotional and physical anguish of my drug addictions, so I mustered up all the strength I had left in me and checked into a Vancouver rehab center. When I was young I had never done anything very bad, just the normal kid stuff, but when I went away to college, I made a huge mistake by trying some meth that a friend gave me. I found that it gave me a sensation, an "edge" that I liked, so when the chance came to try it again, I could not resist.

This started a long and horrible cycle of trying to resist the cravings, only to find myself needing the "edge" because of a particularly hard test or paper I needed to write. Pretty soon, my addiction had ruined my entire life, as I had lost my job, flunked out of school, and was about to be kicked out of my little apartment for not paying rent since I had been spending all of my money on drugs.

I was honestly about to die when I was strongly encouraged by my family and friends to get into rehab, a move that I was, am ashamed to admit, opposed to. After a long talk however, I admitted that I did need some help so I checked myself into the Vancouver rehab center to try and get control of my life again.

I can't say that it was as simple as some people make it out to be, a person in rehab has to work very hard and be committed to changing if they want to be able to come out and never go back in, but the staff and people in charge really made it easier for me. The first thing I noticed when I got there was how completely peaceful the area was and how a part of me felt almost serene just from being in that environment.

This rehabilitation clinic does an incredible job of focusing on the needs of the clients, and they admit a smaller number of clients at a time so that each client can receive the attention that they require, which is why this clinic has the best treatment Vancouver can offer. Now that I am out, I have been clean for almost a year, which has been in many ways, both the best and worst year of my life. While it has been extremely heart wrenching to have to face up to all the things I had done and all the people I had hurt, it has been extraordinarily rewarding to have control of my life again.
