      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      How can I support my adult child in their recovery process?

      Supporting an adult child in their recovery process can be a challenging yet crucial role. Here are some ways you can provide support:

      Educate Yourself: Learn about addiction and the recovery process. Understanding the nature of your child's struggle can help you provide more effective support and reduce misperceptions and stigma.

      Encourage Treatment: Encourage your child to seek professional help and stay engaged with their treatment plan. This could involve therapy, counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and/or participation in a recovery support group.

      Be Patient and Understanding: Recovery is a long and challenging process that often involves setbacks. Be patient with your child's progress and provide emotional support and encouragement.

      Promote Healthy Lifestyle: Encourage your child to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This could involve supporting them in adopting healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. Also, help them find healthy coping mechanisms and hobbies to replace substance use.

      Support Their Independence: It's important for your adult child to feel capable and independent. While it's important to support them, avoid taking over their responsibilities. Instead, encourage them to take charge of their own recovery.

      Set Boundaries: Clear, healthy boundaries are crucial in any relationship, but especially when dealing with addiction. Communicate your limits openly and honestly. For example, you might make it clear that you won't provide financial support for substance use.

      Attend Family Therapy: Consider participating in family therapy or counseling. This can help you understand how to better support your child, improve communication, and address any issues within the family dynamic that may contribute to the substance use disorder.

      Join a Support Group: Consider joining a support group for parents of adults with substance use disorders. These groups can provide understanding, advice, and resources.

      Take Care of Yourself: Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Ensure you're taking care of your own physical and mental health too. Seek support when you need it, and take time for self-care.


      What is a typical day like in an inpatient drug rehab?

      Inpatient drug rehab provides a structured environment for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. The specific details of a typical day can vary between facilities, but most will follow a general schedule that includes therapeutic activities, meals, free time, and sleep. Here's a rough outline of what a day in an inpatient rehab might look like:

      Morning:

      • Wake Up: Residents typically wake up early to start their day. Some facilities may offer morning activities like yoga or meditation to help residents start their day in a calm and mindful way.
      • Breakfast: A healthy meal is provided to start the day. This is also a time for social interaction with other residents.
      • Group Therapy or Counseling: After breakfast, residents often participate in a group therapy session. This could be a general therapy session or a specific type of therapy such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

      Afternoon:

      • Lunch: After morning therapy sessions, residents will have lunch, often followed by a short break.
      • Therapies: The afternoon is typically filled with various therapeutic activities. These could include individual counseling, specialized therapies (like art or music therapy), or educational sessions about addiction and recovery.

      Evening:

      • Dinner: In the evening, residents will have dinner, which, like all meals in rehab, is typically designed to promote overall health and wellness.
      • Evening Group Session: Many rehab centers host an evening group session, which might be a support group, a 12-step meeting, or another form of group therapy.
      • Free Time: After the day's structured activities, residents usually have some free time. They might use this time to relax, read, journal, or socialize with other residents.
      • Bedtime: To ensure adequate rest, lights-out times are typically enforced.

      Throughout the day, residents may also have scheduled times for medication (if applicable), physical exercise, and meeting with their treatment team. The goal of this structured daily routine is to provide a stable, supportive environment that promotes healing and recovery.

      It's important to note that the exact schedule and types of activities will vary between different rehab centers and individual treatment plans. When choosing a rehab center, it can be helpful to ask about the daily schedule and types of therapies offered to ensure it aligns with your needs and preferences.


      What drugs turn off emotions and make you feel numb?

      Several classes of drugs can have the effect of numbing emotions or creating a feeling of emotional detachment. It's important to note that these effects can vary widely between individuals and depend on many factors, including the dosage, the method of use, and the individual's personal physiology and psychology. Here are a few examples:

      Depressants: This category of drugs, which includes alcohol, benzodiazepines (like Xanax or Valium), and opioids (like heroin or prescription painkillers), can reduce brain activity and dull emotions. Users often report feeling numb or detached from their emotions.

      Dissociatives: Dissociative drugs like ketamine, PCP, and certain kinds of cough medicines containing dextromethorphan (DXM), can induce a state of detachment from reality and one's self, which can include a sense of emotional numbness.

      Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): While primarily used as antidepressants, some individuals report feeling emotionally numb or detached when taking SSRIs. This is generally considered a side effect, and if experienced, should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

      Antipsychotics: These medications are primarily used to treat conditions like schizophrenia, but they can also induce a state of emotional numbness or flatness in some individuals.

      While these substances can make a person feel emotionally numb, it's important to note that this is often a temporary and potentially harmful solution. Long-term use can lead to a range of negative health effects, including physical dependence, addiction, and a worsening of emotional or mental health symptoms. If you're feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, it's crucial to seek help from a mental health professional rather than turning to substances. They can provide support and discuss healthier ways to cope with these feelings.
