Chemical Dependency Counselor Is Necessary

By Rosella Campbell


Human beings are filled with flaws and every person knows this to be a true statement of fact. The unlucky people who get hooked on illegal drugs may be able to locate a good chemical dependency counselor. Sometimes these professionals may be recommended by a friend or close relative. At other times someone's employer may offer this service if they see a problem with their worker.

A very independent male had lived in Manhattan for most of his adult life and he was also a hard worker. All of his customers loved his work since he was able to make or save them money in a tough market. After working on his regular job for forty hours a week he would still work another part time gig. He loved music and people so much that he decided to take a position as a music player on the weekends. Even though he made his fair share of money as a competent Financial Advisor he still wanted more.

Human beings liked his unique smile and he seemed to be very charming to everyone. His fellow workers waited for him to return whenever he was out of the office for an urgent manner. He had no reason to take drugs since everyone loved and cared for him. During one of his breaks at the club an eager customer handed him a few pills. He decided to take them since he was feeling a little bit of stress.

In the beginning it was quite fun to take the pills and experience the magical effect that they had. Unfortunately things turned ugly when his personality changed completely. He had now become rude to his loyal customers on his daily job and would sometimes call in sick for no reason at all. All of his co workers knew that something had to be seriously wrong with this man.

One of his co workers pulled him to the side and questioned him. He immediately told his worker about the pills that were given to him at the club. They gave him good advice and suggested that he seek help from a substance worker. He agreed to follow their information and made an appointment to talk with this very understanding professional.

When this man entered into the therapist's office he acted quite shy and did not say much at all. The professional person decided to break the ice and started a good conversation. The two men became quite familiar with one another and in no time at all they were having a great discussion.

The therapist told him that it may take quite a few sessions before his life would go back to normal. Fortunately this hard working man agreed with his new doctor. He knew that he would have to do certain things in order to get better. During the next few weeks he was introduced to a yoga instructor who helped him to relax more.

The man was advised to quit his job at the night club since this place was destroying his life. He took this advice and turned in his notice to the manager. After this happened he put in extra hours at his regular job to supplement his income.
