Drug addiction - is there any way to get rid of it?
Drug addiction is a heavydisease. It is very difficult to cure it, it is almost impossible. It is caused by the use of drugs with the following formation of constant consumption. In its course there is an uncontrollable attraction to the substance. Potential drug addicts appear in 3 directions:
1. Violation of the central nervous system and internal organs.
2. Psychological disorders.
3. Problems in society.
Recently, in almost all countriesdrug dependence is gaining ground. It becomes a social disaster. Two thirds of drug addicts are men and women for about 30 years. They became such in youth, and some in childhood.
Treatment of drug dependence is a long andmulticomponent process. Often patients are people with a criminal past. They do not consider it necessary to seek medical help. Such patients get under control, when narcotic dependence is strongly pronounced or their behavior becomes dangerous for society.
The stages of drug treatment are divided into two stages:
• Medical rehabilitation;
• adaptation in society.
Drug treatment stageaddiction is the withdrawal of abstinence, which develops after giving up the drug. At this stage, you need to take various medications. You can treat at home. To do this, you must strictly follow the instructions of a doctor-expert in narcology. But the practice of the world's rehabilitation centers shows that treatment and rehabilitation programs are much more effective in a hospital.
Sometimes they resort to "blood cleansing" through hemosorption, which often does not help, and drug dependence returns.
A longer stage is psychosocial. It can be performed on an outpatient basis (psychotherapeutic methods in centers for drug addicts). Rehabilitation schemes of treatment are divided into 4 types:
1) Christian programs that include:
• prayers, conversations with the priest;
• public Works;
• Living in a Christian community.
3) programs and courses of treatment "12 steps" or"Anonymous drug addicts." In communities there are people on voluntary free bases. The essence of the treatment is work in a group, and the peculiarity of the method is that the "doctors" in them are drug addicts who are at different stages of recovery. In groups, people change the worldview of a person to the world, set the right priorities and principles. Treatment for "12 steps" does not provide for other forms of assistance, such as religion and psychotherapy.
4) Programs based on psychotherapy. Patients should learn to live without drugs. The programs expand and open new opportunities for patients. Such therapy can be individual or group.
The most important aspect in the question "How to get rid offrom drug addiction, "the very desire of the patient becomes." The most important decision he takes personally: There are no methods that would cure a person against his will, there is no point in any therapy without the patient's participation.Each of the methods will be effective on the condition that the patient's belief in recovery - Sincere.
