Follow on Google News | Miami, Florida Barriers to the Treatment of Addiction During Drug and Alcohol RehabDrug and alcohol rehab is not limited to offering de-addiction medication or a soothing environment.
By: Luis Perdomo Despite the best treatment and facilities, victims suffer from sudden relapses, and many a times, turn towards re-addiction, precisely because of such barriers to the treatment. These barriers can be physical, mental, social or environmental. The extent of these hindrances can be judged by their effect on the life of the victim, more particularly, during the treatment period. 1. Physical and Emotional dependency Habits are hard to break and what started off as a mere diversion to ward of stress then turns into a routine creating a dependency both physical and psychological. It takes time and perseverance to overcome both these dependencies. The underlying causes of depression, attacks of anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) 2. Personal or constructed belief towards drug and alcohol use At times, certain beliefs or attitudes of the victim compel him to seek alcohol or drugs as a relief alternative. For instance, people often feel too helpless and vulnerable in the absence of alcohol, and end up falling for its overdose to escape from their reality and unavoidable circumstances. This creates complication for the successful completion of rehab programs. 3. Family and Social bonds Friends and family are potential barriers in the progress of rehab programs. In some cases, the friends encourage the victim into drug and alcohol use. The desire to be socially acceptable, conform to peer behavior or even go "one up" leads most people to usage of drugs or alcohol or a combination of both. While the patient may be trying to give up his friends or social group may negatively influence him to the extent of ostracizing him which influences him to plunge back to the life of addiction. Since like people tend to gather such addicts form their own groups, removed from social circles, devoid of family and true meaningful friends. This is a significant barrier to recovery. 4. Flawed Treatment Program Alcohol and drug rehab do not comprise comprehensive and updated programs. At the very outset, there are distinct varieties of rehab centers, like detox rehab centers, inpatient rehab centers, outpatient rehab centers, residential rehab, adolescent rehab centers, Christian rehab centers and 12-step rehab centers. While going for the treatment, one should prioritize the correct selection because the environment and service offered by the rehab is a crucial factor influencing the progress of the victim. If the treatment program is ineffective or unsuitable, then addiction can never be cured or success is only temporary. Under such circumstances, past experience of relapse or withdrawal may create a state of mind that such programs are ineffective and are best avoided. These barriers to the treatment of addiction can be spontaneous or induced. None of these is permanent in nature. Where there is a will there is a way and if the patient has the will there are any number of suitable alcohol and drug rehab facilities which can indeed effectually treat him to be permanently rid of his affliction. http://www.youtube.com/ # # # Integrity Way Transitional Housing is located in Delray Beach, Florida.
