[QUOTE="Wiserr, post: 219148, member: 57806"] Having considered the horrible effects of drug addiction and substance abuse, it is imperative to know the feasible solutions to this life-wrecking addiction. “The mentality and behavior of drug addicts and alcoholics is wholly irrational until you understand that they are completely powerless over their addiction.” Hence, there is a deliberate role to play on the path of the addict and the individual who is willing to help. As an Addict, you should; Acknowledge the losses your drug and substance abuse has cost you, appreciate your self-worth/potentials and affirm that you actually deserve a better life. Talk to a trusted friend or a skilled therapist that can help guide you along a reformative and feasible change process. For instance, a professional Psycho Therapist will also help build your self-esteem and teach you healthy coping mechanisms. Discover other good things that interest you and spend quality time doing those things. Remind yourself that you need to stay alive to rule your world for your loved ones. Come to terms with the fact that substance abuse will only cut your life short and truncate your dreams. Adopt Medication-assisted therapies with the help of a skilled health specialist. For instance, you will need to go through a deliberate process of detoxification. This is a process whereby you stop taking those harmful drugs and substances, allowing the drugs to leave the body. You will definitely need healthcare supervision to detox safely. During this process, please ensure you take the relief medicines prescribed by your Doctor. These medicines can help control cravings and relieve withdrawal symptoms. Moreover, as an individual who wants to help someone out of drug and substance abuse, you need to; Acknowledge the fact that you can’t use the weapon of force to help your addict, your major role is just to support them on a gradual yet definite process of recovery. Calmly identify the reason for the addiction. Help them find a way around the challenges they are facing. Work them through practical solutions to get out of their challenges and let them know that those harmful substances are never a good option. Indeed, engaging someone in a conversation about their drug addiction may not be very easy, but you can come from an angle of love, compassion, empathy and understanding. Offer your help and support without being critical or judgmental. As an Addict and as someone willing to help an addict, please don’t wait untill things hit rock bottom! Don’t wait till there is an arrest, job loss or medical emergency. [/QUOTE]
