Overcoming Addiction
Struggling with drug addiction can feel like sitting at the bottom of a mile-high pit. The road to recovery can sometimes be, quite literally, a battle for your life. The good news is that no matter how impossible achieving sobriety can seem, it’s never beyond your reach. With the right support and treatment, even if this isn’t your first attempt at breaking through your addiction, recovery is possible for you.
The most important step in recovering your life is deciding that it’s worth fighting for and that it’s time to turn things around for yourself. Sometimes, even when we know a drug addiction is hurting us and the ones we love, it can be a difficult choice to turn away from substance use. There may be times in which you wonder if you have what it takes to make a change. There may be times you feel down on yourself and question whether or not anything is in your control. This confusion is nothing to be ashamed of. You do have what it takes to take control of your life. No change is ever easy to put into practice, and you are not alone in feeling afraid or uncertain. Recovering from addiction isn’t a simple process, but it is possible, and the fight is worth it.

Welcome to SOS for Addictions
Welcome to SOS for Addictions. Our new interactive and helpful site was created to provide families and individuals who are battling addiction with the opportunity to access a directory of information and services that are helpful to them. We’ll use our unique platform to help individuals by offering drug abuse education and community support, and we’ll keep our community updated about relevant events. It’s our mission to provide visitors to our site the ability to connect with professionals and others going through similar life experiences.
As a community, we’ve got a real issue on our hands, and it’s affecting millions of Americans every single day. Part of the problem that our communities are faced with is lack of education and awareness. Prescription drug overdose currently makes up almost 40% of deaths that occur each year. Unsettling surveys show that if a teen tries a prescription drug recreationally for the first time, 50% of them do so believing the drug is safer than illegal street drugs. In fact, 60% to 70% of first-time users say they found those drugs in the medicine cabinet in their own home. It’s time individuals had a source for education and support for prescription drug abuse and other challenging addictions.
Please take a look around and explore our resources. Together, we can overcome addiction and be a beacon of hope for those still finding their way.
