Ginny Burton was introduced to marijuana at the age of six. She was using meth at age 12, and by 14 she was smoking crack. At 16 she was raped by a man who bought drugs from her mother. By 17 she'd attempted suicide for the first of many times. She got pregnant and the baby’s father was shot and killed. At 21 she started shooting heroin. By 23 she was a hardcore heroin addict. Today, Ginny is a different woman. A graduate of the University of Washington, Ginny wants to change the world. To know Ginny Burton's story is to believe that no soul is irredeemable. To look at her before-and-after pictures is to understand that truly, anything is possible. "My story isn't an accident," she said. "I think it will be used for everybody else. Maybe I can be some kind of Pied Piper, to help people recover their own lives. That's what I care about. There are some days that I wish I could just slip away here, with a garden, and open up a little cafe. But in reality, I know it's my job to continue to create hope."

Free acceptance-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) self-help ebook; see more examples of how to do CBT techniques: http://eepurl.com/c9X9jn Take a look at my online courses, they're low cost and mean a lot every time I make a sale: http://thezensocialworker.thinkific.com/ Cognitive behavioral therapy, said aloud as CBT represents not one therapy but a class of therapies, unified by a science of the heart, mind, and body. CBT involves understanding both the role of cognitive experience (thoughts, feelings, sensations and memories) and behavior (what you do or say). A simple CBT intervention is to track what you think and how it impacts what you do next. Take for example if you have the thought "it's going to rain today" that might impact your behavior, especially if that thought is highly believable. You might find yourself packing a raincoat or umbrella. Although this is an innocuous example, imagine the myriad of painful thoughts, feelings, sensations, and memories that can rule one's behavior. CBT specifically targets your cognitive experience simultaneously with a focus on what you do to create new patterns of responding and therefore living.

(866) 806-0741There's a lot of myth and uncertainty when it comes to what happens in drug rehab. Rehab facilities are often the first step to getting clean or sober. By providing a combination of medical and psychological care, skills development, and isolation from drugs and drug use, treatment centers can provide a gateway to allow substance abusers to find themselves so that they can learn how to stay clean. To view a comprehensive what happens in rehab guide, please visit: https://beginningstreatment.com/what-happens-in-rehab/ Subscribe to learn more about addiction: http://bit.ly/beginningsyoutube Choosing to attend drug rehab is a big step. If you or a loved one is suffering from a substance use disorder, you are probably wondering what happens in rehab, how does it work, and what should you expect.
