      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      What are some tips for remaining drug free?

      Remaining drug-free, especially after overcoming addiction, is a challenging journey. However, with a strong commitment, support system, and coping mechanisms in place, it's definitely possible. Here are some tips:

      • Professional Help: Ongoing professional help is crucial, even after you've stopped using drugs. This could involve individual counseling, group therapy, medication, or other forms of treatment recommended by healthcare professionals.
      • Support Network: Build and maintain a strong support network. This could include sober friends, family, mentors, or support groups who understand your journey and provide emotional assistance.
      • Healthy Lifestyle: Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and ample sleep are all important for maintaining your physical health, which in turn, can support your mental health and resilience.
      • Mindfulness and Stress Management: Practices such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises can help manage stress and cravings. They can also promote self-awareness, helping you recognize and deal with triggers before they lead to relapse.
      • Hobbies and Activities: Engaging in new activities or rekindling old hobbies can help fill time previously occupied by substance use. They can provide a sense of purpose and enjoyment, reducing the desire to use drugs.
      • Set Goals: Setting both short-term and long-term goals can provide a sense of purpose and direction. Goals can be related to your career, education, personal development, or other areas of interest.
      • Avoid Triggers: Identifying and avoiding situations, places, or people that trigger the desire to use drugs is essential. If avoidance isn't possible, develop coping strategies to deal with these triggers.
      • Continuous Learning: Educate yourself about addiction and recovery. Understanding the process can empower you and give you insight into your own journey.
      • Positive Self-Talk: Maintaining a positive attitude and practicing self-compassion can help you deal with moments of doubt or guilt.
      • Practice Accountability: Stay accountable to yourself and others. This can involve regularly checking in with your support network, attending recovery meetings, or working with a sponsor or mentor.

      What are relationship risk factors for drug and alcohol abuse?

      Several relationship factors can increase the risk of developing a drug or alcohol abuse problem. These include:

      • Peer Pressure: One of the most significant relationship risk factors, particularly among young people, is pressure from friends or peers to use substances. This can lead to experimental use, which can progress to misuse or addiction.
      • Family History of Substance Abuse: Growing up in a family where substance misuse or addiction is present can increase the risk of developing similar problems. This can be due to both genetic factors and the modeling of substance use behaviors.
      • Abusive or Dysfunctional Relationships: People who are in abusive or highly stressful relationships may turn to drugs or alcohol as a form of self-medication or escape.
      • Enabling Behaviors: If a person's substance use is consistently enabled or excused by their partner, family, or friends, it can perpetuate a pattern of misuse and make it harder for them to recognize or address their problem.
      • Isolation or Lack of Social Support: People who feel socially isolated or lack supportive relationships may be more prone to substance abuse. Drugs or alcohol can sometimes be used as a way to cope with feelings of loneliness or disconnection.
      • Normalization of Substance Use: In some social or cultural contexts, frequent or heavy substance use may be considered normal or acceptable, which can increase the risk of abuse and addiction.
      • Co-dependency: In co-dependent relationships, one person may depend on the other's drug or alcohol problem just as the substance user depends on the substance, creating a cycle that can exacerbate the problem.

      What does fentanyl do to a person?

      Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain reliever that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It's typically used to treat severe pain, especially after surgery, or to manage pain in individuals with chronic illnesses who have developed a tolerance to other opioids.

      When used under medical supervision, fentanyl can effectively relieve pain. However, when used illicitly or without a prescription, it can have severe, and even fatal, effects. Here's what fentanyl can do to a person:

      Physical Effects: In the short term, fentanyl can induce feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and decreased perception of pain. However, it also slows breathing and can lead to unconsciousness or death from respiratory failure, particularly in high doses or when combined with other substances that depress the central nervous system.

      Dependency and Addiction: Fentanyl is highly addictive. Regular use can lead to physical dependence, where the body requires the drug to function normally, and psychological addiction, where a person feels a compulsive need to use the drug despite its harmful consequences.

      Overdose Risk: Due to its potency, the risk of overdose with fentanyl is high, especially if a person mistakenly believes they're taking a less potent opioid, as illicit fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs. Overdose can lead to severe respiratory depression, unconsciousness, and death.

      Withdrawal: Once a person becomes dependent on fentanyl, stopping its use can result in withdrawal symptoms. These can include muscle and bone pain, sleep problems, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes, and uncontrollable leg movements.

      Long-Term Health Effects: Chronic fentanyl use can lead to an array of health problems, including severe constipation, increased sensitivity to pain, confusion, depression, and increased risk of infections due to needle sharing (if injected).

      Due to its potency and high risk of overdose, non-medical use of fentanyl is extremely dangerous. If you or someone you know is struggling with fentanyl or other opioid use, it's crucial to seek professional help immediately.
