Types of Drug Rehab Treatments for Sober Recovery (Nicholas Grimaldi)

It's been rightly said, there's no man stronger than the one who accepts that he/she is an addict and is ready to fight it. Addiction as a social as well as cultural threat is nothing new. Over the ages man has been abusing substances to experience the ecstatic feeling that is most commonly referred to as 'feeling high'. However, the antidote to this socio-cultural threat - de-addiction has never been so well-known and widely chosen as it has been in the last three decades, though the effort for sober recovery had always been there. It is only in last three decades that terms like drug rehab, rehabilitation center or de-addiction centers have been able to create awareness to a considerable extent.

What a Drug Rehab Does
Drug rehab or drug rehabilitation refers to the process of medical or psychotherapeutic treatment for those who have grown dependency on alcohol, prescription drugs, marijuana and other psychoactive substances. The purpose of the treatment processes is to help the patient overcome his/her psychological dependency on the substances so that the patient ceases to abuse substances and is able to avoid the psychological, physical, financial and social consequences of drug abuse.

Types of Drug Rehab Treatments
Treatment processes at drag rehabs are of various types, the purpose being all the very same - to make the patient physically and emotionally independent of the substances he/she is addicted to. What type of treatment will be applied on a patient depends on the condition of the patient. The will of the patient also matters in this regard, though it is always the professionals who take the final call. Let's now have a quick overview of the various types of treatments at a drug rehab.

Addressing Psychological Dependency: Most drug rehabilitation programs address psychological dependency of the patient on the substance. The patients are taught different new ways to interact and survive in a drug-free environment. The patients, in most of the cases, are advised and encouraged not to be in company with those who instigate them to try drugs or do drugs by themselves. Twelve-Step-Programs, a set of guiding principles for the addicted, encourage the addicts to stop using drugs or alcohol and even change their habits that are related to their addiction.

Medication: Medicinal courses have been found to be one of the most effective treatment types in a drug rehab. Patients who have been addicted to prescription drugs are given medicines that tend to affect the same parts of the brain. Patients with addiction to prescription opiates are given medications like methadone and buprenorphine.

Behavioral Therapy: Behavioral therapy is meant for those who have been addicted to prescription stimulants, benzodiazepines and some other drugs. Behavioral therapies are categorized into four categories. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps the patients to recognize the situations in which they are most likely to relapse. This type of behavioral therapy also helps the patients to avoid and/or cope with such situations. Multidimensional family therapy, a very significant behavioral therapy, is designed to support the patient with improved family functioning. Motivational interviews and motivational incentives are two other types of behavioral therapies that motivate the patient to change their behavioral pattern, undergo treatment for sober recovery, and abstain from using the drugs again.

Nicholas Grimaldi is a member of a reputed NGO that is associated with running de-addiction campaigns and raise funds for drug rehabs. She shares her knowledge and experience of the various types of treatments for sober recovery at a drug rehab.

Mind is the Best Addiction Help for Recovery (Nicholas Grimaldi)

I promise. In fact, I assure you complete addiction recovery. All you have to do is to earnestly try the methods I tell you. It will work wonder on you. I am no medical professional with special training in addiction help you substance abuse recovery. And yet, I am so confident in helping you in addiction recovery since I have been an addict for nearly two decades and then been able to be indifferent to all types of drugs. No, I'm not going to try to inspire you with my story of turning from a hardcore addict to a drug-independent person. But, I can definitely tell you the way I tried.

Mind is the world:
The worst trouble for the addicts is that they do not accept that they are addicts. If you too feel the same, you do have justifications for your claim, I understand. You might think that you take drugs but are not addicted to it since you do everything perfectly and face no problem due to it. I too had the same feeling. However, nobody knows better than you that you have grown a very very strong dependence on the drugs you take regularly. Now you have to accept it. There's a wide gap between knowing this fact and accepting it. When you have been able to wipe out that gap, you have already gone steps ahead in your addiction recovery venture.

Participate in addiction social networking forums
If you search online, you will find numberless forums where drug addicts initiate and participate in discussions. They show you ways for addiction recovery. They also share their experiences of withdrawal symptoms and other problems they faced during their effort to quit addiction. You can try the suggestions.

While searching for such forums, you need to be very careful. There are forums and websites where the addicted members come and talk highly about drug abuse. Those forums are not meant for you. In fact, you need to find forums where trained medical professionals offer serious suggestions and counseling.

Go steady through withdrawal troubles
When you are trying to quit your habit of taking drugs, you are most likely to face many physical as well as psychological problems. You will turn short tempered. You may have acidity and digestion problems. A drowsy feeling will always persist. You may also experience headache and head reeling at times. However, do not lose heart. These problems are caused due to the lack of the drug with which your body system has so long been habituated. It is at this stage that many people give up and start taking drugs again. You have to put up a psychological struggle during this phase. Once you are through this phase, you are completely independent of any kind of drug.

You can, so you will
The psychological analysis of the addicts is usually queer - regular analytics will not be able to explain the way their minds work. So, you can see, I can hear you loud and clear. You might argue, "I can, but why should I"! Your friends and family will give you thousands of reasons as to why you should quit drugs, and you may have counterarguments for everything they say. But, let me tell you why you should quit it. 'You should because you can'.

Recovery for Addicts through Addiction Social Networking (Nicholas Grimaldi)

No, do not be misled by the title. I do not mean that an addict is sure to recover once he/she joins an addiction social networking website. I rather tend to discuss a few points to come to a conclusion as to how effective these social networking sites are in helping an addict recover. To find the effectiveness of such websites or forums, we need to figure put the positive as well as the negative sides so that reaching the conclusion is methodical and justified.

How addiction social networking helps in addiction recovery
When you register with a social networking website for the addicts and go through the discussion threads, you will find lots and lots of problems, solutions and opinions shared by the already existing members. While going through the problems that the addicts discuss over there, you will find it very easy to relate yourself to the situations discussed. You can try the suggested solutions. Since discussions are detailed, may learn about the withdrawal problems you may suffer from. Since you are aware of the withdrawal symptoms, you will feel less worried and less troubled during your process of quitting addiction.

How addiction social networking drives you to addiction
Let's see the other side of the coin. Though these social networking websites or forums are meant for those addicts who are trying to get rid of the habit, a lion's share of the members are addicts who are not at all serious about addiction recovery. They comments they make, the suggestions they offer or the experiences they share are usually so thrilling that they, either directly or indirectly, tickle the urge to stick to drugs. They narrate the stories with such heroic tone that it seems as if there is nothing better than taking drugs and feeling high.

The problem is that since you have also been an addict for a long time, you can very easily relate yourself to the stories mentioned. Thus, your will for addiction recovery is weakened. And, to be frank, no medication, therapy or counseling can help you recover form addiction problems if you do not have the earnest will to recover. Now perhaps you understand why addiction social networking websites or forums cannot ensure recovery from the habit of taking drugs.

How to recover with the help of addiction social networking
Guns do not kill; we kill. It's all in the mind. You have to be strong enough to remain determined that you will not get addicted again. Think that you have already had enough. Those talking highly of addiction are saying stuff like that since they are new to it and are extremely thrilled about it. On the other hand, you have already experienced all they are talking about.
The best option for you is to go for those addicts' social networking websites or forums that offer medical and therapy-oriented solutions. These types of forums are generally serious and suggest genuine solutions. If you have any query, commence a thread and you'll get your answers. You may also share your emotional crisis that you experience during your process of quitting addiction. Rest assured, you will find really helpful responses.

Nicholas Grimaldi is a professional counselor who tries to find how effective the addiction social networking websites and forums are. He also suggests the best ways to find forums and social networking sites that will genuinely help you in addiction recovery.

Addiction Recovery through Treatment and Addiction Social Networking (Nicholas Grimaldi)

Addiction to alcohol, prescription drugs and various other drugs is nothing new. Man didn't care much about the ill effects of addiction unless it emerged as a serious socio-cultural threat. De-addiction ventures have been innumerable in number and enormous in extent. But, addiction has already been so deep-rooted that it is not at all easy to fight addiction as a curse to the human existence. However, the last three decades have witnessed significant progress in the field of addiction help. Let's have a quick and short overview of it. Then, I'm also going to tell you how you can find the best drug rehab or addiction recovery processes.

Improved Scenario of Drug Recovery in Last Three Decades
Fights against drug addiction are as old as addiction itself. However, the processes were never so improved as they have been in last three decades. Let me tell you the most crucial part that makes all the difference. Earlier, the family members or friends and well-wishers of an addict had to force the person to undergo drug recovery treatment. It was very hard to make them understand and accept that they have become addicted to the substance they are using or abusing on a regular basis. Since they refused that they are addicted, treating them for recovery was a distant hope.

Things have changed a lot in last three decades. Addiction patients are not open minded and do not find it difficult to accept that they are addicted to the substance they use on a regular basis. Most of them take part in various addiction social networking websites or forums. They share their views and experiences. Many of the addicted find useful addiction recovery tips and suggestions guide them through the complete course of addiction recovery.

How to Find the Best Drug Rehab
So, you feel that you are addicted and want to recover? Now that you have realized that you are addicted and need medical help for addiction recovery, you have already taken your first step. When the counselor or the rehab professionals apply medications or therapies on you, you will automatically tend to cooperate with them. Moreover, your positive mindset will always keep you ahead in your battle against addiction. Now let me tell you how you can find the best drug rehab.

Join addiction social networking: Make an online search for addiction social networking forums. You will find quite a number of them. Pick the ones where you think you can interact with more and more peers. It's not that you can join only one of such forums. Rather joining a few couples of addiction social networking forums will help you in ways more than one. You will be able to reach out to more and more people. You can share your problems with them and find answers to your queries. Since most of the members have faced the same situations as those of yours, their suggestions will help you most effectively. They will be able to tell you which drug rehab you should approach.

Search Online: Apart from participating in addiction social networking forums you can directly search for drug recovery centers in your locality. However, when you browse through their websites, try to figure out how good they are in the addiction help or de-addiction services they offer. It's even better if you can find feedbacks left by the previous clients of that drug rehabilitation center.
