In light of that, here we present to you the 5 common myths and misconceptions regarding rehabs which should be ignored in the present decade.
Myth #1 – You Can Only Go To Rehab after Hitting Rock Bottom

While it is true that a majority of the people only seek treatment when they undergo an overdose or get arrested, it is much better to recognize the signs beforehand only and seek treatment before your condition worsens.
Myth #2 - Relapse Means the Treatment Has Failed
Relapsing after getting your treatment from rehab, or during your treatment does not indicate that the treatment has failed. It only means that you are human. In fact very common for relapses to occur after their respective treatment and around 40%-60% of patients do tend to experience relapses.
