Rehab Shows: Do They Help Addicts To See The Light?

By John Watsons


There are many drug and alcohol rehab shows today that may seem entertaining. However, do they help addicts to see the light and want to get help? A lot of rehab shows today involve a lot of planning and preparation. They often involve a professional interventionist that deals with addiction. Addiction today is at an all-time high. The use of cocaine, heroin and other types of drugs are being used in an ongoing basis. Many people today want to receive treatment and often cannot afford to do so.

Drug and alcohol rehab shows are often entertaining for the public. The reason why these shows get to stay on the air is because they provide a look into the world of drug addiction and alcoholism. Many addicts today say that they are troubled by the fact that they cannot stop taking a drug that they know is destroying their lives.

When we watch these types of shows on television, they give us a "bird's eye view" of this underworld. We get to see how an addict actually lives for their drug. Everything in their life becomes dependent on getting their hit every single day. Without it, they can go into convulsions or have severe trembling and heart palpitations. Many addicts cannot get sober on their own. Certain drugs like alcohol and heroin often require someone going to detox before treatment. This is so that they can get the drug out of their system safely.

Often, these types of shows cause people to want to learn more. Drug treatment shows are often good for the whole family to watch. They encourage us to think about our own lives and what addictions we had to personally overcome. It is not always illegal drugs. Some people are addicted to food and gambling. There are all types of addictions that people struggle with.

Addiction shows are not easy to watch if you have a family member that is on drugs. You may be able to relate to the stories that you are watching on TV. Some of the video tape footage has to do with someone stealing money from their parents. It may involve fighting going on in the house or someone simply living in the streets. Drugs will cause you to lose your self-identity. Many addicts turn to prostitution and homelessness in order to support their addiction. These types of shows make us see how lucky we are if we don't have an addiction to a substance. Watching people like Dr. Drew on television make us see that help is available if we are ready to look for it. Many people don't care to look for help. However, they often want to experience some type of growth. The world today is complex and people often have to learn more about it through watching programs like this.
