Longwood Drug Rehab Center Publishes Recommendations When Writing Someone In Rehab

December 18, 2018 – – WhiteSands Treatment Center in Longwood, FL, has announced that they have recently published an article offering advice to loved ones of drug rehab patients on what to write someone who is in rehab. The article is titled “What To Write Someone In Rehab” and was posted on the WhiteSands website.

Joe Ducey, spokesperson for the Longwood drug rehab center, says, “Because of the drug-seeking behavior of the addicted person, the relationship of family members to the addicted person has been strained. But with the person now in rehab, family members may be at a lost for words, particularly when they are worried about the possibility that the person who has gone into rehab may fall back into old habits. In this article, we can provide some help in communicating with a loved one in rehab.”

The article points out that family members may be experiencing a number of emotions that can be a hindrance to communicating with a loved one who is struggling with addiction. These emotions include sadness, anxiety on whether the addicted loved one will be able to get better, anger over the problems and pain the addiction has caused, shame because of what other people might say, and the feeling of helplessness in guiding the addicted person to get rid of the addiction.

The article explains that writing a letter instead of talking over the phone is better because it will prevent the negative emotions from interfering in a conversation over the phone. This is because the loved one can carefully plan what to say and it can be stated in the best possible way. Furthermore, the writer of the letter can review it several times while the recipient of the letter can reread it to truly comprehend what is being said. The addicted person can even use the letter as a form of motivation while in rehab.

A great way to start the letter, according to the article, is to remind the person in rehab that he or she is still loved by family members. The second part is to express forgiveness for the problems and pain that the addiction has caused. Next, it is important to motivate the person because addicted people often have low self-esteem and confidence. A few words of motivation may mean a lot especially when the addicted person is going through self-doubt and may possibly be thinking of quitting. And finally, it is essential to show support for the person in rehab. One way to show support is to discuss how family relationships could be better and the possible return to happy times when the addicted person has already completed rehab and returned home.

Meanwhile, WhiteSands inpatient drug rehab and outpatient programs are available. The rehab outpatient programs in Longwood have been highly successful drug and alcohol treatment sessions. These are designed for people who want to keep their privacy or those who have just completed an intensive rehab program and have a need for a follow-up.
