How does it help to stay in a rehab center?

Well, many people would think that the most important factor to stay in a rehabilitation center is that you stay away from drugs. I don't think that this is the primary cause of choosing residential treatment over other options.

Drug addiction usually brings depression with it especially if you want to recover yourself. When you are in depression, you want less public attention and less of any stimulus that is present in everyday life.

Therefore, I think the primary reason to choose residential treatment in a drug rehabilitiation senter should be to stay in a place where the stimulus (crowd, noise, etc.) of everyday life is at a minimum level if any.

Of course then comes a treatment by specialists and the facility of drug detox.

As I have mentioned in an earlier post, both addiction and recovery depends on what is happening in your mind and in your consciousness.
