All About Addictions
Many of us are addicted to something.
Whether it is ice cream, reality TV shows or the Internet, these kinds
of addictions are fairly harmless, if not completely harmless. However
there are many serious addictions out there that can easily ruin your
life and the lives of your loved ones.
Alcohol And Drug Abuse
Alcoholism and drug abuse are among the
most dangerous addictions in the world. Both can be easy to slip into
and a nightmare to get out of. An addiction to something such as
codeine, heroin or meth must be dealt with by entering a drug treatment
program. While these can be extremely expensive they are worth spending
the money on. Treatment for addiction is absolutely essential if one
wants their life back.
What Is Addiction?
When asking ourselves “what is
addiction?” the answer is that it is something that causes physical and
emotional pain and often results in the loss of a job, friendship or
even marriage if the person with the addiction does not get help. If you
have a loved one with a serious addiction, don’t think that you alone
can cure it. The majority of addicts need professional help to quit
their addiction.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is a serious problem
that needs serious time and attention in order to fix. The addiction is
almost always about more than just the drug itself. Many people fall
into these destructive habits because of a traumatic event in their life
that they never learned to properly deal with. Examples of this can
include abandonment by a parent, molestation, rape or a myriad of other
possibilities. When treating someone for an addiction it is crucial to
uncover what led to the addiction in the first place. Until whatever
triggered the addiction is dealt with, many people find it impossible to
kick a dangerous, deadly addiction.
Addiction Destroys Lives
TV shows such as Intervention open all
of our eyes to the horror that addictions can cause. Entire families and
lives are often destroyed because of the person’s addiction. In order
for any one of them to overcome that addiction they must recover both
physically and mentally. This will only happen if the person wants to
recover. Many drug and alcohol addicts have refused to acknowledge they
have a problem and have refused to go to, or stay in, rehab to deal with
it. This refusal leaves their family and friends feeling hurt and
betrayed. You can’t help someone that doesn’t want to be helped,
therefore it is crucial to convince an addict to seek the treatment that
they need in order to have the opportunity to live a normal, happy,
healthy, successful life.
You Can Overcome Addiction
“While
addiction is a devastating thing, it can be overcome if the person is
strong enough and has the right support network in place“
