Family
counseling
Family counseling plays a major role in our counseling therapy. We in TAPASHYA, while dealing with
addicts, need to know the detailed history of that patient and his/ her close family members as they
are the best persons to give the information about them. Now when it comes to counseling, we start
with the closest one and help them to understand the root cause of the problem of the addicts.
Because once a patient is admitted in TAPASHYA, their stay with us will be periodic and our motive
is to send them back to normal life. In family counseling we help the family members to get
accustomed with the schedule followed by us and also advise them to deal with the addicts as per the
directions given by our psychologists. Most family members go through loads of traumas due to the
behavioural disorder of the addicts. Therefore they also need loads of help and counseling sessions
from the psychologists. Here in TAPASHYA we don’t treat only the addicts but we also treat a family
who is suffering from an addiction problem. We believe in healthy life and that is why we give equal
importance to family counseling so that once the patient is discharged he should live a healthy and
addiction free life.
Genetics – While the
correlation between drug use and family history
is not well understood, it is a well-accepted fact that people with a family history of drug use and
dependence are more likely to become addicts themselves. The primary correlation is that persons
raised in environments with substance abusers are more likely to develop psychologically in a way
that encourages addiction. However, studies, including one by the University of Utah directly
correlate specific genes with addiction. For example, the A1 allele on the DRD2 dopamine receptor is
more common on persons who are addicted to cocaine or alcohol and mice with a low expression of a
Mpdz gene exhibit severe withdrawal symptoms from sedative drugs. There is no gene that
automatically makes someone into an addict, but genes are an influencing factor in addiction,
because they affect how we react to and experience drugs.
Lack of Options – One of the most famous Ted
Talks of all time discusses an experiment using rats,
where rats in an empty cage are 100% likely to be addicted to drug laced water and rats in a fun
environment with friends are significantly less likely to be addicted. This study was called Rat
Park, and it catalogued the fact that persons who don’t have options, whether financially,
personally, or otherwise, are much more likely to become addicts. This means that boredom, debt,
poverty, stress, and even the lack of a stimulating environment all contribute to drug use and
addiction.
Mental Health Disorders –Mental Health
Disorders – It’s a well accepted fact that many persons with existing disorders are
more likely to turn to drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. In one study labeled Smoking and
Schizophrenia, doctors studied the correlation of self medication and mental disorders. Many persons
who have mental disorders are up to three times as likely to use drugs or alcohol recreationally.
Peer Pressure – Having friends or loved ones who are addicted to or use drugs recreationally makes
it statistically more likely for someone to use them themselves. Peer pressure is a significant
factor in beginning drug use, among teens and adults. While some studies correlate the fact that
persons who are more likely to use drugs are more likely to choose drug users as friends, others
show that the simple desire to keep up appearances with friends does contribute to starting drug use
as well as to preventing users from quitting.
Anxiety and Depression – Anxiety and
depression, whether these are chronic disorders or acute
issues, greatly increase the risk factors for drug use. Anxiety and depression both greatly increase
the risk factors for starting drugs, but also influence drug use by making the person more
susceptible to other risk factors. For example, self medication, or taking drugs to feel better or
to ‘forget’ about issues are common reasons, but these issues also make users more open to peer
pressure, more likely to be taking prescription drugs, and more likely to feel hopeless.
Loneliness – If you are lonely you are
significantly more likely to use drugs and alcohol as a
solution to feel better. In the Rat Park experiment, rats that had friends in the cage were
significantly less likely to use drugs. This applies to humans as well. If you have a strong
relationship with family and friends, you are significantly less likely to use or become addicted to
drugs than if you are lonely, out of touch, or have little to no family support.
Prescription Drugs – Prescription drugs present
a very high risk factor for drug addiction, simply
because many of them are highly addictive. Prescription painkillers, sedatives, antidepressants, and
many other types of prescription drugs can easily lead to physical and mental dependence by flooding
the dopamine receptors in the brain. If not monitored appropriately, prescription drugs could lead
to long-term drug addiction.
What is de-addiction treatment?
De-addiction treatment is a comprehensive approach to addressing substance addiction and dependency.
It involves a combination of psychological and medical interventions designed to help individuals
overcome their addiction and regain control of their lives.
The first step in deaddiction treatment is typically detoxification, which involves gradually
weaning the individual off the addictive substance while managing withdrawal symptoms. Medications
may be prescribed to help manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Detoxification
can be a difficult and uncomfortable process, but it is a necessary step in breaking the cycle of
addiction.
Once detoxification is complete, the focus of treatment shifts to addressing the underlying
psychological and emotional issues that may have contributed to the addiction in the first place.
This can involve a variety of different therapies, including individual counseling, group therapy,
and behavioral therapy.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common approach used in deaddiction treatment. This therapy
focuses on helping individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may
have contributed to their addiction. It is often used in combination with other therapies, such as
motivational interviewing, which helps individuals identify and strengthen their motivation to
overcome their addiction.
Other exercises that may be a part of deaddiction treatment include mindfulness-based practices,
such as meditation and yoga. These practices can help individuals develop a greater sense of
self-awareness and self-control, which can be helpful in overcoming addictive behaviors.
In addition to these therapies and exercises, support groups can also be an important part of
deaddiction treatment. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are two well-known support
groups that provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment for individuals in recovery.
Overall, deaddiction treatment is a complex and multifaceted process that requires a personalized
approach tailored to each individual’s needs and circumstances. By combining medical interventions,
therapy, and support, individuals can successfully overcome their addiction and achieve lasting
recovery.
