What CausesDrug Addiction?

Many things cause drug addiction, primarily the chemical changes that drugs have on your brain and body. Cocaine increases the neurotransmitter dopamine leaving you feeling very high or energetic. Valium activates your GABA system, so it makes you very calm and relaxed, the same as alcohol. MDMA or ecstasy increases your neuromodulators deleting to increase levels of Serotonin.

All of these examples indicate the way in which drugs affect different systems in your brain and body. The more you consume drugs, the more these systems are compromised long-term. Many of these systems leave you feeling better than you did before, so as soon as you stop taking drugs, you suddenly feel worse, and the only way to get that good feeling back is to take more drugs. This leads to tolerance and addiction.

What is the Recovery Process for Drug Addiction?

group-of-people-paying-attention-to-someone

The recovery process for drug addiction looks different for every person. Generally speaking, you transition through four phases:

Assessment
Your assessment is critical for starting the right drug addiction rehab program. At our facility, this assessment helps us identify any underlying mental health disorders or untreated trauma and identify the substances that have been abused. This is a concise assessment. Depending on your medical history, it takes about 30 minutes at our facility. Understanding all of this helps determine what treatment might be most successful for the next phase.

Detox
The next phase is detox. Detox or detoxification is when your body clears itself of any remaining residual compounds from the toxic substances you have abused. Things like alcohol detox can be life-threatening, which is why it’s important to participate in a medically supervised program to help you deal with the withdrawal symptoms before you transition to the next phase.

Rehab
Rehab constitutes the most significant part of your recovery process for drug addiction. With drug addiction treatment, your rehab is a program that allows you to identify what in your life has contributed to your addiction, what may have worsened your addiction, and what you can do to address the issues around addiction. This includes things like healthy living, where you learn how to sleep better, eat better, and exercise more. It can consist of family therapy, medication management for mental health disorders, recreational therapy or holistic treatment, as well as group and individual counseling.

Aftercare
Aftercare is the longest phase. It’s a common misconception that residents can go home and be free from any addiction or trials once they complete their drug addiction treatment. But addiction is not something you can cure immediately. It’s an ongoing, lifelong process. People are at a high risk of relapse immediately after leaving a rehab program, no matter how successful that program was. And that is why ongoing aftercare keeps you participating in recovery programs like the 12-step program, wilderness therapy, art therapy, and other group activities.
