Medical
Science has collectively been taken with providing the causes for
addiction. A consensus has never been
reached but the reasons explaining the addiction are chalked down to chemical
imbalances in the body i.e depression or
anxiety, unresolved emotional issues, a sense of values and beliefs that are
inconsistent with reality and a certain inability to cope with current
conditions.
When people reach a point of
realization of having an addiction the first thing they tend to do is seek out
help. This realization requires time to cleanse and detox. It is understood
that this should be done in a calm and comfortable environment. In a country
providing an array of rehab facilities , one of the most preferred luxury facilities
is the Passages rehab Center
located in sunny Malibu, California.
The facility believes, unlike most
rehab centers in one on one sessions with a trained therapist to understand the
root of the addiction and then collectively recovering from it in an
environment that focuses solely on the individual. Rehab centers like Passages
will concentrate on providing comforts, at a price, which allow a more holistic
and pleasant recovery process, one that the client finds easy to stay committed
to for a long lasting recovery.
