Myth #6:

Addicts and users won’t seek treatment until they hit rock bottom.

People enter into treatment all of the time without hitting rock bottom. The motivating factors differ from person to person but typical motivators are pressures from family and friends to seek help and personal recognition that the he or she has a problem. For teens and young adults, parents and school administrator are often the driving force in getting the person into treatment. Some people do hit rock bottom and then get into treatment but that is just some people—not all.
