How To Avoid or Manage Common Temptations After Rehab
The move from a supported environment back to normal living can be a tough transition. Upon leaving rehab, you may find yourself put in trigger situations or situations that spark the thought of reverting back to old habits. Things like returning to your old neighborhood, seeing old friends or family members, and even certain emotions may tempt you to go back to using or drinking.

There are a few things you can do to avoid or manage these temptations in your daily life after rehab, such as:

Find a solid support system. Surround yourself with sober people, as well as people who have your best interests at heart and want to help you be successful. Find a support group in your area or even someone you can call when you feel tempted.
Modify your environment. Before returning home from rehab, ask a loved one or someone you trust to remove any paraphernalia from your house. Try to avoid places that spark feelings of interest toward using.
Set goals for the future. When you set goals for the future, it will be much easier to manage your temptations when they arise. When you have a sense of why you want to stay sober and all the benefits it will bring to your life, it will be much easier to stay on track.
Keep your follow-up appointments. If you’ve scheduled follow-up appointments with your rehabilitation center or a doctor, stick to these appointments. You may feel tempted to skip them, or think that you can handle it on your own, but it’s much easier to avoid or manage temptations when you are receiving support from health professionals.
Find a moment each day to be thankful. When we have a strong appreciation for the life we’ve been given, it’s easier to recognize how much we have to be thankful for. Consider starting a gratitude journal and writing down five things each day that make you feel fulfilled and happy.
Create new, healthy habits to replace the old ones.

Working with persons suffering from all kinds of addiction is a humbling experience. Getting amazed every day by the ignorance of the public in thinking addiction is a moral failure. It's important to understand addiction as a brain disease closely bordering mental illnesses and other chronic diseases.

How To Convince Someone To Go To Rehab
1.Talk With Them One-On-One
The first step to getting your loved one on the right path is making sure you take the time to sit down with them and lay everything on the line.
2.Be Upfront And Honest
The first thing you have to make them understand is that you will no longer tolerate their addiction. This means drawing a line at making excuses for their behavior or condoning their abuse by purchasing their drugs or alcohol for them. It means drawing a line in the sand and making sure that they understand that you are disapproving of their actions.
