College students are also not spared from addictions


Alcohol is a tricky liquid substance. If it is consumed in moderation and proportion, it creates no harm. But if it is over done then, it causes hazardous physical damages to humans as well as it deteriorates interpersonal relations, shatters families…the list is endless. Even today people are aware of them, yet they seem to “drink socially”, which may not have side effects in short run, but if not curtailed down on in-take in longer run it may turn into an addiction. Once addicted to alcohol, a person is taken into another world, mostly virtual and far away from reality. That person is drifted away from family, friends and well- wishers. This addiction causes multiple problems into everybody’s life; one, who is addicted and the others, who are related to him. These problems include excess expenditure, stealing, harassment etc. The problems keep increasing with every going day. There are times when people feel helpless and hopeless in finding a solution for getting out of this addiction. Rehab centers are the perfect solution in dealing this kind of situation effectively.

Many people find it difficult to initially acknowledge the addiction, but after it starts creating problems the families and dear ones are forced to find a suitable rehab to achieve sobriety.

Along with the adults, many college or even high school students also get addicted to alcohol due to various reasons. It could be stress or for getting acceptance from the peers or merely to stand out in the crowd. This addiction affects their studies badly, ruins personal relations with everyone, and destroys the career.Alcohol rehab center takes care of such youth. They chalk out a treatment plan for them; guide them to reform their mind set and perspective towards life. The psychologists help them view life in different light; understand the life in a better way. .

They give them therapy sessions. Some of the rehabs have joined hands with local colleges to get their patients enrolled for higher studies; this step gives their patients a boost in academics and career. These can be called college rehab which grant them sobriety along with a degree to match pace with the outside world. This is one of the activities which are welcomed by the families as they do not have to worry about further studies and career of their loved one.
