An Open Mind – One thing that we ask, and can greatly benefit anyone going through treatment for addiction, is that you come with an open mind. Be ready to learn new things through self-discovery and through challenge. It can mean giving up many old habits and embracing new ones, but these changes can be ones that save your life!
