A growing problem
It seems to me that almost every family that I know has at least one member in it that has some kind of addiction. Some people are workaholics (which for some strange reason is socially acceptable) and some are addicted to video games. Since neither of these addictions seem to pose a threat to society, however, there really is no kind of addiction treatment program that I’m aware of that is geared towards treating those two types of addiction.
More often, however, I hear of family members who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. Many times I only hear about these family members having these problems after they have been admitted to alcohol rehab or some drug rehab program. I think it is very sad that so many people are plagued with these types of problems, but I am glad that there are so many resources out there on the Internet, and through many other sources such as doctors that these people can get the help that they need to recover and kick their habits.
