The process of recovery for a drug addict is slow. The recovering drug addict must learn life’s lessons and come to understand why they began using drugs.
People recover from drug and alcohol addiction every single day, but they rarely do it alone. The process of recovery for a drug addict is multi- step. Individuals, who are recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction, first need to realize they have a problem and willing to work towards a solution.
The appropriate duration for an individual in a drug addiction treatment depends on his or her problems and needs. Research indicates the for most patients, the threshold of significant improvement is reached at about three months in treatment.
After this threshold is reached, additional drug addiction treatment can produce further progress toward recovery. Because people often leave treatment prematurely, programs should include strategies to engage and keep patients in treatment. There are no quick fixes for drug addiction and alcoholism. The skills one learns during intensive drug addiction treatment must be integrated into everyday life and this takes time. Long-term drug addiction treatment programmes are proven to have a higher success rate due to the fact that the individual id given more time to gain benefits of the treatment community.
WARNING SIGNS OF ADDICTION

Red, watery eyes; pupils larger or smaller than usual; blank stare.
Puffy face, blushing or pale skin.
Weight loss.
Unexplained nausea, vomiting or excessive sweating.
Fight the drug out of our life because life is worth living with joy rather in the midst of alcohol and drugs. If you ever happen to notice your friend suffering from an addiction, save him and make him realize the value of life. Letting the other person know what life is like giving him life
