What is Facebook.com/DrugTreatment?
We believe the communication available today can be a life changing tool.
https://www.Facebook.com/DrugTreatment is the URL to our main Facebook page Wings of Encouragement, which has around 3.6 million followers. We have people available to answer clinical messages with questions, comments and suggestions from people around the globe about Addiction and the Recovery process. There are also 800 numbers available where family members around the US can call in and gather information.
We urge people to really think about what our best defense could be when it comes to making a difference.
How has the internet and social media affected our lives worldwide?
Facebook was launched in 2004. We urge people to recognize the possibilities of real time communication and realize we are just scratching the surface of the ways families can communicate and be helped.
We believe that Facebook and the communication available could become even a more organized hub to help families in need.
We are starting to realize nationally that (Addictions) play a much larger part in our society than ever imagined.
One study shows that less than 5% of alcoholics and addicts are actually homeless and living on the streets. This would mean that the majority of those/us afflicted are living in cities and towns just like yours and mine. And with advances in communication, we are beginning to see the astronomical impact addiction plays in the world today. It effects nearly every area of our lives, with the alcoholic and addict effecting many people around them in one way or another.
Nearly 1 out 10 people in the United States are potential addicts
Dysfunctional family dynamics
Health Care
Over crowded prisons and jails
Work environments
Relationships
Addicts and Alcoholics are often extremely intelligent people. For the past 100 years, there have been a multitude of studies on exactly what makes a person become or be an alcoholic or addict. We know that in 1956 the American Medical Association declared Alcoholism a disease and other studies have shown that addiction is not bias and can afflict any race or sex, rich, middle class, and the indigent.
Part of the challenge is that there is still much confusion on what really works and brings people back from the gates of insanity, being institutionalized and death.
Wings of Encouragement makes up about 60% of our network on Facebook and Instagram. We do have other pages and groups which include AddictsToday.com and Rehabs 411, where volunteers will be available 7 days a week to answer questions. We urge family members and addicts/alcoholics to dream of the possibilities real time communication can make and consider getting involved.
We certainly can not do this alone, and I urge any and all with ideas to contact me personally 7 days a week.
Together with our new tools, WE can evolve and change how addictions affect this world.
