What do you say to someone on drugs

Author: Dion Silva




The disease of drug addiction has reached terrible proportions all around the
world. It has crippled the most fruitful periods of millions of people, young and
old. This has given rise to umpteen numbers of organizations protesting against
this great social evil. But the enemy is far too powerful to conquer. Even whole
nations are run by drug cartels and their vicious tentacles span all over the globe,
making the annihilation of this force near to impossible. Mexico and Columbia are
perfect examples of this state of affairs. When one section of the world population
is growing richer and richer, the other is going down into utter doom.


Drugs being a way of life for most teenagers, what do you say to someone on
drugs? Parents, siblings, or friends are the ones who can really take an addict
towards sobriety. But quite often they come to notice the addiction a little too
late. The first steps to make the addict realize the need for rehab can be really
frustrating. Most addicts face this dilemma of dual cravings. When one part of
their mind wants to somehow stop this daily torture, the other goes right ahead to
get another fix.
Alcoholism is a highly potent problem because of its easy availability and high
frequency of usage in large quantities. You might have found yourself flounder
about what to say to an alcoholic who is on the brink of total disaster. The
problem of addiction to alcohol and drugs is going on transforming the world
society into a wasteland. All the energy and potential that could have been put to
good use for the development of mankind is laid to waste by inebriation. Making
the addicts realize the importance of rehab might have to be done forcefully
sometimes, by taking them to rehab centers to undergo the initial draining away
of all the intoxicants through anti-drug medications.


The rehab can be successful only if the addict goes through the step by step
strategies that rehab centers have developed over the years. These steps aim at
not just making the addict quit the use of drugs or alcohol, but also and more
importantly at the overall development of the individual into a fruitful citizen. This
can only be done through the continuing support and programs that some of the
best rehab centers focus on, helping the individual to keep up his/her sobriety and
live a happy life.


Happiness without addiction


Recovering from any kind of addiction can be a very tough process and requires
not only personal strength and family support but also professional help. There are
various institutions which offer rehabilitation programs and help people in
recovering from an addiction.


The first and most important step in addiction recovery is acknowledging that you
have a problem and reaching out for help. Knowing and acknowledging the
problem can be the first step of healing ones life. There are a lot of institutions
which are committed to guiding an individual through the process of addiction
recovery, with dedicated expertise. The person has to understand that addiction
is a disease which can have disastrous impact on his/her family. But this disease
can be cured and a new life can be started by joining in a rehabilitation program.
Through the treatment programs that these institutions offer, an individual can
learn the tools to start a new life free from the bondage of addiction.


The kinds of treatments generally offered by such institutions are drug and alcohol
recovery programs and treatments for eating disorders. Drug abuse or substance
abuse can include addiction to prescription drugs, cocaine addiction, meth
addiction, etc. While eating disorders include Anorexia, Bulimia or compulsive
eating. Another major addiction is Opioid addiction. They are a kind of drugs
which doctors prescribe for pain control. But sometimes Opiods are taken without
proper prescription as people get addicted to this drug. They have an
uncontrollable urge to keep using this drug.
Any kind of drug or alcohol recovery program is generally of minimum 90 days and
people feel that they cannot take out the time to invest fully on a residential
treatment. For such people there are other programs available such as treatment
while working, treatment while attending school/college and other outpatient
treatments. These institutions offer individual care, as per latest developments in
medicine and psychology.


They help a patient in recovering from addiction by rediscovering their passion in
life and by creating a long term recovery plan for them. The rehabilitation program
includes curing psychological problems such as trauma, depression and anxiety.
These are cured with the help of behavioral therapy, reprocessing therapy, eye
movement desensitization, hypnotherapy and experiential therapy.


To conclude it would be right to say that the correct way of living and enjoying life
is being addiction free. This disease called addiction can be cured and lives can be
turned around. The only solution is to take control of one’s life into their own
hands and make better choices.


Drugs: Stay away or Wither away



There are many misconceptions centered on drug abuse and drug addicts. Many
classify it as purely a social evil. Everybody in a community including seniors,
adults and teens tend to pass judgments on drug addicts as being morally weak
and /or having an anti-social mentality. They are also under the illusion that
addicts can stop taking drugs simply by changing their behavioral patterns. These
are myths and there spread has done nothing less than stereotype the problem of
drug abuse.


The addiction to drugs is a menace to society as they pose a health problem and
also has far reaching social outcomes. When a person makes a willing choice to
fall under the influence of drugs it is then when the seeds of drug abuse and
addiction are planted. Scientific research has shown that drugs not only interfere
with the normal brain functions—affecting neuron transmitters, producing feelings
of extreme ecstasy—but also inhibits and hampers the neural activity of the
central nervous system.


Drug abuse turns chronic, and into a hardcore addiction, when the brain becomes
overtly dependent on drugs. Those who are thus affected by drugs are under a
constant craving to consume drugs and they are completely disabled when it
comes to get rid of this addiction or craving. Treatment is often necessary to get
rid of this craving and also prevent relapse. Midwest drug rehab centers are
adept at this.
Every patient has a unique history of drug abuse. Thusly, the treatment programs
have also to be tailor made to suit the specific needs and demands of the
individual. The main thing that is targeted is the curbing of the addict’s strong
craving, which if not satisfied can go into relapse.


What people need to do is try and understand the workings of drug abuse. This
will help to prevent it in the first place. Prevention is better than cure, remember?
People need to be made aware of this evil through mass media. Seminars should
be held at schools, colleges and community centers to keep all age groups
informed. It is better to be informed and keep away from drugs rather than having
to go into rehab.


But even if you are addicted to drugs there is still no need to despair. There are
many rehab centers, like our very own St. Louis drug rehab centers, which will
help you to effectively combat this situation and help you get a new, drug-free life.
