Whether you are a homemaker, a student, a nurse, teacher, cop or other professional or run a business, it is difficult to take “forced” time off in order to access addiction treatment. Consequently, many people suffering from addiction choose to postpone treatment to a more “convenient” time, which leads them deeper into addiction and more complications in their lives. Also, inpatient addiction treatment can be anxiety provoking, as patients are almost always stressed about how their family is coping during their absence, resulting in less-than-optimal treatment participation.
