Drug Rehab Saves Brothers Addicted to Heroin

Many drug addicts struggle with taking the crucial step of seeking treatment at a drug rehab center. Some drug addicts spend many years abusing drugs, severing relationships and damaging their bodies before they find the courage to seek treatment. For some addicts, the chains that keep them in addiction are too strong and they eventually lose the struggle. However, two young brothers Trevor and Jarrod McCorkle, realized at a very young age that they could no longer live the life of an addict and both actively sought out treatment at a drug rehab center. The McCorkle brothers have experienced many hardships and heartache in their young lives. They both experienced painful sporting accidents that lead them to begin abusing Percocet, a prescription pain killer used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Their father, a morphine addict, passed away of a drug overdose and soon after their mother passed away from an aneurysm. Alone and addicted to prescription drugs by their mid teens, the brothers did whatever it took to survive and feed their addiction. Once the prescriptions for their painkillers ran out, they moved onto heroin. Deciding to attend a drug rehab center is difficult but it saves lives. For the McCorkle brothers, the decision to seek treatment at an inpatient drug rehab center was a life or death situation. They both underwent a medical detox and then moved onto an inpatient addiction treatment program. Now the brothers are attending an outpatient treatment program and are working towards recovery.
