Addiction is not a choice!

 

 

It’s a Disease. One major Myth about people suffering from addiction problem is, they are generally understood as egocentric individuals who have made a choice to abuse their substance.

 

 

Well, I believe that is not true! Yes at first people only wish to experiment with their friends and just enjoy their life. However gradually the dependence on their substance drug, alcohol or cigarettes grows over-powering. I have worked with Rehabilitation centre and treated over 200+ clients suffering from addictive disorders, I haven't failed to come in my notice that substance dependence often manifests other substance-related disorders like Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders (Bipolar), Addictive Personality Disorder and very commonly seen substance-induced psychosis. There are over 13 main types of drugs (116 sub-types) and three main types of alcohol isopropyl, methyl, and ethyl, this external dopamine's once entered the human body, makes an individual experience peculiar happiness, high self-confidence and extraordinary strength to which people get habituated with and gradually escalate to addiction, feeling of non-survival in absence of their substance.

 

 

People with substance dependences, often become inconsistent at work/school, Talk passive aggressive or physically violent with their partners and family member, stealing money from home in order to buy their substance and much more. Addicts only need someone to understand their illness, help them fight their addiction with non-judgemental attitudes.

 

 

My Therapy has worked wonders with people at early stages of addiction, recovering addicts or non-active users. For active abusers, Rehabilitation is the best treatment plan
