Drug treatment

[blewatt]

Understanding the role that addiction and drug treatment plays in successful recovery from an addiction to drugs or alcohol - is crucial if you ever hope to overcome and find freedom from the deep, dark pit that is addiction.

So let’s get one thing straight first and foremost - addiction treatment and drug treatment isn’t the end of all your worries and the solution to all your problems. It’s the beginning of the road for you in overcoming your addictions – not the end. And that’s where I think many addicts get it wrong and why relapse rates are so high.

Treatment or Rehab is the place to go to get clean first and foremost. Where you can detox, receive intensive counselling and therapy, learn new habits and ways of thinking that will help you stay clean, and hopefully make a friend or two that you can start your journey on recovery with once you leave.

Drug addiction is a complex illness characterized by intense and, at times, uncontrollable drug craving, along with compulsive drug seeking and use that persist even in the face of devastating consequences. While the path to drug addiction begins with the voluntary act of taking drugs, over time a person's ability to choose not to do so becomes compromised, and seeking and consuming the drug becomes compulsive.

Sadly in todays world drug treatment usually means jail which is the worse possible place to send someone suffering from drug addiction.
I'm a former heroin addict and have been taking methadone over 10 years. I'll finally be done with in in hopefully about 30 days give or take a few days, but opiates are much different from things like crack cocaine, ice, methamphetamine’s and so on.

It's a very common misconception that all you have to do is to is have will power and talk to a counselor. The sad fact is the vast majority of drug counselors don't know their asses from a hole in the ground because most have never been down the road of addiction and have no idea what it's really about.
I've been dealing with drug counselors now on and off for well over 20 years and have know many of them. Most think they have ALL the answers.. Stop your behavior and blah, blah, blah...
Many methadone clinics use the carrot and stick approach which doesn't work.. The carrot they dangle is the promise of take homes so patients don't have to go to clinics every day and the stick is IF you break any of the idiotic arbitrary rules we'll punish you and make you come here every day for the rest of your life.
At 52 I know what i need to stay off heroin.. I've been down this road. I've been off heroin now for almost 10 years.Wild horses could make me use again and I've tested myself time and time over the years by cutting off my own methadone and have been able to stay away from heroin.. Of course I did get sick and had to go back to the clinic, but after 10 years the amount of useful information I have gathered from these so called counselors couldn't fill a pinky thimble and there would be enough space for a thumb.
Nearly every meeting I've had with counselors over the years has consisted of basic interrogation. They work closely with police and use the same techniques to trip up people and get them to lie and ANY word that is in the least bit incriminating is used against patients.
Sorry if I don't buy the text book version of drug rehab. It's almost always one sided assuming patients are ALL liars incapable of being honest of wanting the right things in their own lives. These counselors forget that nobody is born a drug user. Nobody comes out of the womb as a heroin addict for life. Everyone, well almost everyone has a measure of a childhood where they are drug free and nobody wakes up one morning and says, "You know what..The life of a junkie just sounds so wonderful. i think I want to be one. I want my life to be shit for years to come.."
That is the misconception and far to many counselors are hell bent on the power kick game because the laws of the land are designed to put power in their hands all to often and the ability to arbitrarily decide what goes on in a patients mind.
Resentful? You bet i am.. I'll be clean because I have proven to myself I can do it.I've been there before and will be there again, but it had nothing to do with the so called counselors I have had the drudgery of dealing with. It has to do with the pain I went through and the knowledge of just how utterly painful that life can be again. I want NOTHING to do with it and once my 30 days are up I want nothing to do with drug counselors again. The majority are wannabe doctors and wannabe prison guards. There's an extreme minority who actually put forth a decent effort, but those are the extreme minority and very hard to come by.
Most drug rehabs are WE vs Them..little more.

When treatment begins the state of the body and mind is such that very little mental coordination can be achieved until the fog has lifted. This can take two to three weeks after alcohol and any detoxification has left the body. During this time the mind is not fully receptive to any new teachings given. There are some physical/alternative treatments that can speed the healing process that will make the mind more readily receptive and accept information quickly. Treatments such as Reiki, Crystal and Color therapies can be affective and aid recovery. The faster the body heals the faster the mind becomes receptive to training.

Drug treatment is much more serious than the case when we try to have treatment by ourselves.

Addictions like alcoholism can be hereditary in nature. It has been seen that people belonging to alcoholic families are more likely to develop other forms of addiction as well! For example, people belonging to alcoholic families may have other addictions like overeating or cigarette smoking!
