Drug Addiction Treatment – The PROMIS Solution

What is Drug Addiction?

Drug addiction is a substance use disorder that develops into a chronic and uncontrollable problem – even when the user acknowledges the negative consequences. Technically, it’s considered to be a neurological disorder as over time with prolonged drug use, it can alter the chemical structure in the brain causing the inability to function as normal – often impacting a person’s self-control and decision-making.

Although drug addiction can start with small doses through recreational use; smoking marijuana with friends, taking ecstasy at a rave or the occasional line of cocaine at a party, the matter of fact is, all drugs are addictive and can lead to serious health consequences or harder drugs like heroin – which is infamous for its rates of overdose.

The chilling truth is; it can take control of your life by saturating your positivity, turning relationships sour and making things that were once pleasurable and enjoyable evaporate into nothing.

When Should You Get Addiction Treatment?

Considering treatment can be the last thing on an addict’s mind – admitting there’s a problem is one of the most difficult steps to take. However, since you’re reading this we can only assume you’ve already jumped the first hurdle and for that reason, you should be proud and give yourself credit for seeking help.

Coming to terms with the fact you have addiction issues is a positive sign, it signifies you want change. With that said, understanding the signs and symptoms that are associated with a drug problem can be a clear indicator that it’s time to seek disorder treatment. Bear in mind that these can vary from person to person – everyone responds to taking drugs differently and factors such as the type; the amount, and the frequency of the drug, not to mention the length of the addiction itself.

Signs and Symptoms

• Building up a high tolerance
• Intense cravings and uncontrollable urges to use 
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when you’re without the drug
• Psychological changes such as mood swings, paranoia or anxiety
• Neglected responsibilities 
• Physical changes like loss of weight and irregular sleeping patterns 
• Social withdrawal from friends and family
• Lying to loved ones about the drug use
• Involvement in dangerous behaviours like driving under the influence or participating in criminal activities
• Using drugs as a way to self-medicate for mental health issues

Attending a drug rehab can be a scary thought for those suffering from addiction; sometimes they’ve attempted to quit on their own and experienced uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms however, the best time to get help for addiction is now – professional help is just around the corner!

Importance of Attending a Rehab Programme

Attending a rehabilitation programme is crucial for anyone experiencing difficulties with addiction and feeling like there is no way out. When the brain function is compromised through excessive drug taking professional treatment is required to ensure support and guidance are delivered to the individual – this provides a much stronger chance of a successful recovery.

It’s common for a rehab centre to provide a medically assisted drug detox as part of the addiction treatment – ridding the body of toxins. As this stage can be uncomfortable due to the withdrawal symptoms, addiction rehab provides a safe place to perform the detoxification where the patient can receive complete care to ease the symptoms, without this service most addicts attempting a detox are prone to a relapse.

It goes without mentioning that there’s a multitude of counselling and support including group therapy sessions that assist the patients as part of the treatment for drug addiction. Whatsmore, relapse prevention techniques from addiction experts delivered through aftercare programmes supersede by far any type of treatment attempted outside of a drug rehabilitation centre.

In short, addiction problems shouldn’t be faced alone – drug rehab centres are designed to help you get your life back on track as smoothly and as comfortably as possible.
