Online resources for addiction issues

It's fairly well established that during rough economic times people face more issues with depression as well as the possibility of increased addiction issues where they really need to seek out treatment centers in their area. It's easy for many who have faced the loss of a job or the fear of the loss of their job to turn to drugs or alcohol to attempt to "make those problems disappear." Of course the reality is that doesn't make the problems disappear, it just increases them.

That's where the internet can be helpful since there are places you can go to online to get information on addiction treatment. In addition to community forums were basic advice can be given and thoughts shared, which is very helpful for not only those dealing with the addiction issue personally, but family members as well so that they don't feel as if they are all alone; utilizing a treatment directory for your particular state and part of the Country helps make the searching process for the right place to go for help with a variety of issues from drug rehab to eating disorders.
