in an ideal world every addict who arrive in in drug rehab would be cognizant of their disease and determine to get well ,but when dealing with addiction ideal situations are rare .
there is an ongoing debate whether an addict who does not want to be helped can be helped,many belief that only the addict can help themselves .They have to want to quit but in the midst of active addiction few addicts want to quit in fact addicts by their very nature are unwilling patients.
changes in the brain which has been hijacked by drug leave the addict powerless to truly see themselves and make rational decisions,because they have come to depend on drugs to function ,they will make excuses justify the indefensible and put of treatment ,there are many ways in which addicts are pushed into treatment: court order,divorce,loss of child custody and hospitalization.
most addicts develop the motivation to sustain their recovery after being helped into treatment,when they start learning about their disease and feeling better than they had before since they started using drugs.
