When I was 15 years old I went to my first drug treatment program. Unfortunately for the drug treatment program, I made their lives unmanageable by being disruptive, resistant to treatment and just didn’t want to be there. After ten days they asked me to leave. Of course it was their fault and I went right back to my drug of choice, Loritab. I just loved narcotics. Loritab, Percoset, Hydrocodone, you name it. I didn’t love the narcotic addiction that followed.

I didn’t return to a drug treatment center for 10 years. believe me, by then I was a shadow of that 15 year old. I had a horrible narcotic addiction, lost my car, house and girlfriend. This time the drug treatment center looked alot better to me. From the day I checked in I knew I was safe. Yes, the narcotic addiction kicked my ass. I went thru narcotic detox which lasted 7 days. they made the narcotic detox tolerable with other detox medications. Even with those detox medications, I never want to feel that again.

Today, four years clean and sober, I volunteer in a drug treatment facility. The treatment facility allows me to carry the message of narcotic recovery to the patients in detox. I will always be grateful to them and to the first drug treatment facility for throwing me out. For those of you looking for drug treatment I would suggest you call the drug treatment helpline. The drug treatment helpline I called was toll free and did not charge me any money for their help. The drug helpline number was 1-800-99-DETOX. I wish you the best in finding recovery from narcotic addiction and the treatment center that will help.
