Suddenly if you are on your own in a cosmopolitan city with no parental supervision and earning fat by modeling and all of that at an age of sixteen or seventeen, what would generally follow? There can be two outcomes- either you would be balancing your success and freedom positively or you would be exploiting the same by torturing yourself. In majority of the cases women or girls fall for the second option. I knew a friend of mine who went to New York because her cousin was there and started modeling when she was barely sixteen. As luck would favor in the first few months, it was all fun, money, freedom and pride. No one to answer for and no accountability for one`s action. Life was at its best. But sadly this girl succumbed to drugs and alcohol because of people around her. She too thought that it's super fantastic and is in vogue. If you are in media and fashion industry, especially the latter you usually got to snort the substance as it will elate you, de-stress you and its big fun'.
What then turned out to be a playful activity made this girl`s life hell and horrendous. Her drinking intake and cocaine consumption was so much that her heart nearly stopped beating. Next thing she remembered opening her eyes in a hospital with parents at bedside. She needed help. Without wasting time she was taken to alcohol rehab for women. She recounts today that the three months stay in alcohol rehab for women has changed her life for good. If she is breathing today and feel sober, that is only because of the rehab program that her parents got enrolled. They brought her back to the person she was and her disease was treated separately because they are two different things and needed to be treated independently. This is indeed a great thing that I heard.
The alcohol rehab for women also had women undergoing vivtrol treatment. Vivtrol treatment initially is painful owing to the injections given to the addicts for best results. In a rehab center this pain is lessened by taking care of the both physical and psychological needs of the patients.
She tells that she used to hate herself earlier for constantly lying her parents, for uninterrupted drinking and snorting, stealing cash to buy those and was only responsible for her life getting crashed down. Today she has only one message and that is seek help as there are people who will take care of you and you are not the only one in this race for improvement and progress.
