Drug rehabilitation is a
multiphase, multifaceted, long term process. Detoxification
is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment.
Physical detoxification alone is not sufficient to change
the patterns of a drug addict. Recovery from addiction
involves an extended process which usually requires the
help of drug addiction professionals. To make a successful
recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with
situations and problems which arise. Factors such as encountering
someone from their days of using, returning to the same
environment and places, or even small things such as smells
and objects trigger memories which can create psychological
stress. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete
recovery, thus not allowing the addict to permanently
regain control of his or her life.
Almost all addicts tell themselves
in the beginning that they can conquer
their addiction on their own without the help of outside
resources. Unfortunately, this is not usually the
case. When an addict makes an attempt at detoxification
and to discontinue drug use without the aid of professional
help, statistically the results do not last long. Research
into the effects of long-term addiction has shown that
substantial changes in the way the brain functions are present
long after the addict has stopped using drugs. Realizing
that a drug addict who wishes to recover from their addiction
needs more than just strong will power is the key to a successful
recovery. Battling not only cravings for their drug of choice,
re-stimulation of their past and changes in the way their
brain functions, it is no wonder that quitting drugs without
professional help is an uphill battle.
