Factor #3: The Deceiving Stranger

Drugs and alcoholism change people. Drug and alcohol addiction creates what is called a “drug personality”. It is artificial and is created by drugs.

This artificial personality is caused by their compulsion to avoid pain at all cost. They are willing to lie and steal from the ones they love to get their next fix.

Their dishonest activities and harmful acts cause them to experience unbearable guilt. Their solution to alleviate their guilt is more drugs and alcohol, which drives them to more harmful acts. They are now trapped in a vicious circle.

You ask yourself: “How could you have raised a criminal, an addict and a liar? The answer is that you did not. Drugs raised that deceiving stranger. But your loved one is still in there, despite the years of drug and alcohol abuse. His good basic personality still remains. it has just been overwhelmed by addiction.

They are in desperate need of a solution that resolves ALL the factors that cause addiction. The rehab programs that represents the best hope for the addict is a holistic program that is oriented toward:

• A full detoxification.
• Building the life skills needed to deal with life ethically and flourish.
• Unburden them of their guilt.
• And regain their own self respect.
