If we understand
rehabilitation as restoring someone or something to a previous or improved state, then we can get a good idea of what should occur at a drug
addiction rehab. A truly effective drug or alcohol
addiction rehab does much, much more than simply get someone off drugs.
The assist the individual in locating and handling the barriers to continued sobriety.
The barriers of cravings (mental and physical), guilt created and felt that is hard to live with, and depression as the result of the addictive lifestyle are the barriers that left unhandled, leave the entire subject of addiction unhandled.
With these points fully handled and addressed one can achieve lasting sobriety, with unhandled the only other choices are death or jail.
This is the reality of addiction no matter how harsh it may sound.
The cycle of
addiction begins with a problem, discomfort, or physical or emotional pain. Drugs or alcohol are used in an effort to find relief.
Short term temporary relief is found which give the drug or alcohol value in the eye of the user.
When confronted with the problem, pain, etc. again in the future the individual is prone to use the drug or alcohol again.
The problem arises when it takes more and more of the drug or alcohol to get the same effect and instead of handling the source of the problem or pain the drugs are continually used to mask the symptoms while the problem itself continues to get worse.
The drugs and alcohol themselves create new physical problems, shut of awareness and ability, all of which simply increases the symptoms to the point of the person being obsessed with finding and using the drugs or alcohol to numb himself, despite consequences to self and family.
Many will try and assert that there is no
addiction cure.
Usually this is coming from so-called experts who meaning well, have yet seen little or no long term solutions to the problem of
addiction and so have labeled it an incurable disease.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences.
It is an attempt to use the drugs or alcohol to solve life’s problems, with the solution becoming the problem. The cure is the handling of ALL the elements that have lead up to drug
abuse and addiction and then continued it – cravings, guilt, and depression playing major roles. It is not just cessation of drug use. It involves the acquiring of a whole array of life skills so that life’s problems can be confronted and one can live life happily and productively – drug free.
