Our Views

Thousands of families at the dinner table today will be facing an empty chair – the chair of someone they wish they had been able to help. These are often family members who delayed getting their loved ones into drug detox or rehab. Many of them thought, or hoped, that the situation would somehow take care of itself – perhaps by the grace of God.

George W. Bush said in his official Thanksgiving address, “We give thanks to the Author of Life who granted our forefathers safe passage to this land, who gives every man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth the gift of freedom, and who watches over our nation every day.”

The “Author of Life” means different things to different people, but one thing is certain: no matter what your religious views, the Author of Life helps those who help themselves. For a drug addict, that help comes in the form of drug detox and drug rehab.

Family members who took action, who helped themselves, have that loved one at their table today because they took matters into their own hands to ensure the person they love got into drug detox and rehab so they could live a normal, drug-free life.

If you or someone  you care about is addicted to drugs, don’t wait for God to do something about it – He may have given us life, but making the most of it is up to us. Help your loved one get the help he needs through a drug detox program so he, too, can live a full and happy life rich with reasons to give thanks.
