My cousin has fought drug addiction most of his adult life. He has entered into 10 day and 30 day programs. After leaving them, he was back to doing the same drugs in a matter of only a few days. It finally took 2 family members signing a paper to have him admitted long term. The family explained to them about all the other centers he had gone to for drug rehabilitation and the outcome. He finally was able to kick his habit and even get a job after being in treatment for over 9 months.

A friend of mine from work recently went into a drug rehabilitation facility. He had to choose between the drugs and alcohol or his job and family. I think he made the right choice. He had been struggling at work and you could really tell something was going on. I had no idea he was using drugs on the job, though.
