Not only is the pain and emotional burden of substance abuse difficult to bear, but the public stigma surrounding the drug culture creates a barrier to treatment for many drug users.

Substance abusers have, historically, have been viewed as lacking self-control, living on the streets, shooting up illicit drugs in some dark alley of a big city. What most people fail to realize is that seedy picture of drug abuse represents a small sector of substance abusers.

The face of drug use has changed, worldwide. What was originally seen as an act afflicting poverty-stricken neighborhoods, has turned into an epidemic spanning all socio-economic backgrounds. And, as such, the face of drug rehabs must evolve.

“It’s unfortunate that the addiction treatment field must market itself in the first place,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “What’s more disturbing is that the demographic that we are marketing to is becoming more widespread and affecting younger individuals more now, than ever before. One of the factors that contribute to an individual seeking help is the stigma attached to such treatment. At Mountainside, we try and remove the public stigma that’s attached to the addiction so that we can get to the core of the issue- helping the individual suffering from the addiction without attaching any labels to the person receiving treatment. This level of care and compassion is crucial for long-term recovery from drug addiction. The feedback that we have received from those who are intimately familiar with our program has been that we our program is extraordinarily caring, compassionate and understanding to those who are seeking drug addiction treatment. That’s always been our main focus- caring, compassionate treatment plans in a safe environment that is conducive to getting well and we have succeeded.”

For more than 12 years, Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has led the way in offering an individualized alcohol and drug addiction treatment program.

There are an estimated 17.6 million alcohol addicted individuals in the US today, and that number continues to grow rapidly, affecting individuals from all socio-economic backgrounds. Treatment for alcoholism can be difficult simply because of the social acceptance of the use of alcohol. With proper alcoholism treatment, however, an individual can live a sober-free life.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center has been equipping individuals with the skills and confidence necessary to overcome various types of addictions for over ten years. With their innovative treatment program they have helped thousands of individuals reclaim their lives that were previously ensnared by addictions.

“All of the professionals at Mountainside have not only extensive experience within various addiction treatment fields, but also a genuine deep-seated interest in helping individuals overcome their addictions,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside. “Our drug rehab and alcoholism treatment program is among the best available. Alcohol addictions are very unique in nature simply because there’s no social implications or adverse reactions to utilizing alcohol on a recreational basis. As such, individuals struggling with alcohol addiction become quite adept at concealing their addiction from friends and family. That’s one reason that it’s imperative that families become active participants in the addicted individual’s recovery program. Our Family Wellness Program assists families in coping with their loved one’s addiction in a caring, considerate manner and being sensitive to everyone involved in the process. In addition, the location of our facility allows individuals and their families the privacy needed to begin their journey together towards recovery. Since our beginning our program offerings have been recognized by our peers within the addiction recovery treatment field as being innovative and first class, and our long-term sobriety success rates are second-to-none.”

It’s accepted as fact that drug rehabs are cost prohibitive to self-paying individuals. Unfortunately, that misconception has contributed to barriers for individuals trying to get the help they so much need.

Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center located in Canaan , CT has dedicated itself to providing quality and affordable drug addiction treatment as well as alcoholism treatment. Since the program’s inception, Mountainside has positioned itself as the leader in cutting-edge, affordable drug rehab. Focusing on bringing true value to the table, Mountainside set out to become the first of its kind to offer such affordability, coupled with true, innovative drug addiction treatment plans.

“Cost is a factor in every single facet of life, and health care is no exception especially in this economy downturn,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . “What’s disturbing is that there are individuals who are addicted to drugs or alcohol who truly want to live a sober-free life who feel that they can’t afford it. Addicted individuals don’t need any unnecessary reasons, whether true or not, to deter them from treatment. It’s natural for an addicted person to be hesitant to get treatment- that’s part of the process. Throwing in the myth of lack of affordable drug rehab simply further complicates matters. Mountainside is determined to get the message out and educate the public so that this misconception can be put to rest, enabling individuals to get the help that they truly need.
