“Rock bottom” refers to the low place of addiction that each person reaches before reaching out for help. People have different circumstances and behaviors that could be considered their personal rock bottom. Hitting rock bottom is when alcohol addiction and drug abuse bring a user to their worst place, often being an overwhelming low that translates to hopelessness, despair, and clarity of circumstance.
Royal Life Centers at The Haven knows that everyone can reach a different bottom before they realize they need addiction treatment.
Each guest is different, which is why we create individualized treatment plans that are tailored specifically to each guest in order to meet their personal needs and goals.
Many people with alcohol or substance use disorders will know when they have reached rock bottom, as they are overcome with negative feelings and consequences as a direct result of their addiction. Everybody’s rock bottom looks different, making the question “what is rock bottom?” a personal one. Drug and alcohol addiction can bring users to different lows in their lives. Rock bottom can look like losing a job because of drug or alcohol use, alienating yourself from friends and family, losing all meaningful relationships, getting evicted from your house or apartment, stealing from others to fund your alcohol or drug habit, engaging in dangerous behaviors in order to score drugs, selling your body for alcohol or drugs, skipping commitments made to family and friends, having major health problems, etc. all as a direct consequence of your alcohol or drug use.
Addict and alcoholics may experience a great number of negative consequences and endure terrible circumstances before they consider themselves to have hit rock bottom. Rock bottom for some may look like failing a college course due to substance or alcohol use disorder, while another person’s rock bottom may look like being homeless for months, having no meaningful relationships left, stealing and pawning goods to continue their habit each day, panhandling to fund their habit, choosing to get drunk or high over nourishing their body, sharing needles with strangers who may have infectious diseases, and prostituting themselves to fund his or her habit.
Every alcoholic and addict have a different rock bottom, some may take longer to reach their rock bottom, while others may consider having reached rock bottom after the first negative consequence arises from their substance abuse.
