Understanding Why It's Never Too Late to Turn Away from Addictions

Many long-term drug abusers fear their addiction has no end. This assumption is completely untrue! Today’s comprehensive recovery programs ensure that every addict has an opportunity to heal. Read on to learn why it’s never too late for your second chance at sober living.

• Treatments are Effective: Celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, Robin Williams, and Steven Tyler entered into rehabilitation programs past their 50s. Their examples demonstrate that patients of any age can overcome addiction. Don’t let the length of your addiction become an excuse either. Even addicts with decades of drug abuse can recover with sufficient detoxification and counseling. High-quality drug counseling locations like The Hills Treatment Center offer targeted recovery for patients of all ages and histories.
   
• Health is Recoverable: Drug abuse takes a heavy toll on the human body—brain chemistry is reprogramed and organ tissue is damaged. However, many bodily symptoms of drug abuse can eventually be reversed. Your sleep and appetite cycles can be reset in a calming, sober housing environment. Brain receptors can return to their original functions. In addition, a highly nutritious diet can repair much of the bodily damaged done by the addiction lifestyle. All of these recovery tools can be found at programs like what is offered by The Hills Treatment Center in Los Angeles.
   
• Relationships are Repairable: The addiction lifestyle causes strained relationships between users and their loved ones. However, this distance should not discourage your desire to get clean. In fact, programs at The Hills Treatment Center encourage friends and family members to take an active role in recovery. This approach ensures loved ones understand your addiction battle and learn to support your recovery goals. These resources can help you recover relationships damaged by drug abuse.

How Cocaine Affects the Brain

Cocaine consumption has extremely negative effects on your brain. Even small amounts of cocaine intake can have permanent consequences in the brain. This video stresses the importance of ending cocaine addiction once and for all.

This BBC video introduces the areas of our nervous system that is influenced by cocaine use. Cocaine forces nerve receptors to work overtime and cause a huge influx of dopamine. The result is the characteristic symptoms of cocaine use, including overly animated conversation and extreme highs of self-confidence.

Andrew Zimmern Talks Sobriety

Andrew Zimmern started using drugs and alcohol in 1974, when he was 13 years old. Although he lived a pretty privileged childhood in New York City, he still felt an emptiness inside that he filled with drug abuse.

It wasn’t until his family wrote him off, and he was homeless for a year that he realized something was seriously wrong. In this video, Zimmern explains how recovery is available if you’re open to it and sobriety is possible when you reach out for help. Zimmern has been sober now for almost two decades. 

If you or someone you care about is addicted to drugs or alcohol, call The Hills Treatment Center at (323) 319-5507 for help.
