If you’re looking for the “perfect” time to enter treatment for addiction, you’re never going to find it. You have to decide that now is the right time and make your recovery a priority. If you think about it enough, you can find a million-and-one reasons to delay treatment and why right now just isn’t a good time.
- You can’t take the time off necessary for treatment.
- It is too expensive.
- It costs too much.
- You can stop on your own.
- You have X coming up at work/school/home that you need to do.
- Rehab doesn’t work.
These are all things you’re telling yourself to justify not seeking treatment. These are all things that can be overcome and should not act as barriers to your health and well-being. September is National Recovery Month and a great time to reflect on why getting treatment for addiction is so important.
Delaying treatment can make things worse: The longer you wait, the more damage you are doing to your body, your relationships, your career, your finances, your future, and more.
