Alcohol and drugs cause physiological reactions in the body and lead to both physical and mental addictions. When people are addicted to drugs, including prescription drugs, they often find they need professional help to break their dependence. But because addiction is an illness, it cannot be broken by just stopping drug use; for most people, breaking an addiction will only happen with professional therapy and medical care. Often times, people will choose some type of treatment facility to help with their addictions.
Why Go to a Treatment Facility?
