Throwing out alcohol, drugs and other paraphernalia. If you find this difficult, the Oklahoma drug rehab will recommend that you take a supportive friend with you;

Breaking off all contact with heavy drinkers, users and dealers. This can be done by telling these people clearly that you wish to have no further contact with them;

The Oklahoma drug rehab will suggest that you change your phone number and throw out numbers of dealers;

Have cheques automatically deposited into your bank account. Throw out 24 hour cash cards. Have someone hold your money;

Try to cultivate new, drug-free activities and hobbies;

The Oklahoma drug rehab will encourage the addict to give self-help groups a try. This could include 12-step groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. And it’s important to try out a number of different meetings, until you find the one that’s a good fit for you;

Talk to supportive (and safe!) friends, family or health professionals about situations that are difficult for you. If you have joined a 12-step program, get a sponsor as quickly as possible so you’ll have someone to discuss your recovery with on a regular basis.
