As regards the final aspect of the Drug Rundown, the resolution of those factors precipitating usage, one must appreciate the user was invariably troubled prior to usage, or would never have turned to drugs in the first place. That trouble may have been physical, emotional, or any of the myriad of difficulties so commonly ascribed to the inadequacies of modern existence. But regardless, the problem of drug use is always preceded by a problem of living. Moreover, that problem must be resolved before one is actually free from the need and, frankly, it is only resolved through the Drug Rundown.

In other words, the final step of the rundown addresses what was wrong before drugs became the solution or “cure.” If the underlying cause of usage is not resolved, the need or compulsion remains. |
