Is Drug Rehab Necessary? Medford MA

Drug rehab may not be necessary for everyone. Some people may temporarily turn to drugs or alcohol during a difficult time in their life, but then are able to quit when things stabilize. Others may use drugs for recreational purposes and it doesn’t interfere with their life or livelihood. For those who find that they can’t go without taking drugs, experience withdrawal effects in the absence of drugs, and neglect personal and professional responsibilities when using drugs, drug rehab is necessary.
