Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

How to help an addict that refuses it?

Helping a loved one who is struggling with addiction but refuses assistance can be a challenging and delicate situation. However, there are several approaches you can take:

• Communication: Have an open, honest, and compassionate conversation about your concerns. Choose a time when they're sober and not in crisis. Avoid judgmental or confrontational language, instead focusing on expressing your feelings and concerns.
• Educate Yourself: Understanding addiction as a disease can help you approach the situation with empathy. Learn about the science of addiction and the resources available for treatment.
• Professional Intervention: An intervention is a structured conversation between the person with addiction and their loved ones, often facilitated by a professional interventionist. The goal is to help the person see the negative impact of their addiction on themselves and others and to encourage them to seek treatment.
• Support Groups: Consider joining a support group for families and friends of individuals dealing with substance use disorders, such as Al-Anon or Nar-Anon. These groups can provide understanding, advice, and encouragement.
• Setting Boundaries: It's crucial to establish boundaries to protect your own mental and physical wellbeing. Make it clear what behaviors you will not tolerate and follow through on consequences if those boundaries are crossed.
• Encouragement: Continually encourage your loved one to seek professional help. Provide them with information about local resources, rehab facilities, or counseling services.
• Self-Care: Don't forget to take care of your own mental and physical health. Seek professional help for yourself if necessary, and remember that it's okay to step back when you need to.

How can I get help for opioid addiction?

If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid addiction, seeking help is a crucial first step towards recovery. There are several resources and options available to assist you in overcoming opioid addiction:

• Consult a healthcare professional: Speak with a doctor, therapist, or counselor who is experienced in addiction treatment. They can assess your situation, provide guidance, and recommend appropriate treatment options based on your individual needs.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): MAT combines medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat opioid addiction. These medications can help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and decrease the likelihood of relapse.
• Inpatient treatment programs: Inpatient or residential treatment programs provide intensive, structured care in a controlled environment. These programs typically offer medical detoxification, therapy, counseling, and support group meetings to address the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
• Outpatient treatment programs: Outpatient programs provide therapy, counseling, and support while allowing individuals to continue living at home and attending work or school. These programs vary in intensity and duration, offering a flexible option for those who cannot commit to inpatient treatment.
• Support groups: Attending support group meetings, such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA) or SMART Recovery, can provide valuable peer support and a sense of community during the recovery process. These meetings allow individuals to share experiences, learn coping strategies, and receive encouragement from others who have faced similar challenges.
• Therapy and counseling: Individual, group, or family therapy can help address the underlying psychological and emotional issues contributing to opioid addiction. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) are among the evidence-based therapies that can be beneficial in the recovery process.
• Helplines and crisis lines: If you need immediate assistance or information about opioid addiction and treatment resources, consider calling a helpline, such as our own (877-882-9275), or the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357) or your local crisis hotline.
• Online resources: Websites like the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provide a wealth of information about opioid addiction and treatment options. Online forums and communities can also provide peer support and shared experiences.

What is drug addiction commonly called in the mental health fields?

In the mental health field, drug addiction is commonly referred to as a "Substance Use Disorder" (SUD). This term is used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which is the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the United States.

A Substance Use Disorder is defined as a pattern of behaviors characterized by an inability to control or cut down on use, spending a lot of time obtaining the substance, craving the substance, failing to fulfill obligations at work, school, or home due to substance use, and continuing to use the substance despite knowing it's causing physical or psychological harm.

Substance Use Disorders can be further categorized based on the specific substance involved, such as Alcohol Use Disorder, Opioid Use Disorder, Cannabis Use Disorder, and so forth. The severity of the disorder is also assessed (mild, moderate, or severe) based on the number of diagnostic criteria met by an individual.

It's worth noting that this terminology emphasizes the understanding of drug addiction as a medical disorder, rather than a moral failing or a matter of willpower. This shift in language is part of a larger effort to reduce stigma and promote a more compassionate, effective approach to treatment.
