Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

What is the 12 step method for treating addiction?

"The 12-step method for treating addiction is a structured, peer-based approach that originated with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in the 1930s. Since then, it has been adapted for various other substance use disorders and behavioral addictions, including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Gamblers Anonymous (GA), and Overeaters Anonymous (OA), among others. The method is based on a set of guiding principles, known as the 12 steps, that outline a path to recovery, personal growth, and spiritual development.

The 12 steps of the method are as follows:

1. Admitting powerlessness over the addiction and recognizing that one's life has become unmanageable.
2. Believing that a higher power (interpreted by each individual according to their beliefs) can restore sanity and provide support in recovery.
3. Deciding to turn one's will and life over to the care of the higher power.
4. Conducting a thorough and honest moral inventory of oneself.
5. Admitting to oneself, the higher power, and another person the exact nature of one's wrongs and shortcomings.
6. Being ready to have the higher power remove these defects of character.
7. Humbly asking the higher power to remove one's shortcomings.
8. Making a list of all the people harmed by one's addiction and being willing to make amends to them.
9. Making direct amends to those harmed, whenever possible, except when doing so would cause harm to them or others.
10. Continuing to take personal inventory and promptly admitting when one is wrong.
11. Seeking to improve one's conscious contact with the higher power through prayer and meditation, asking for knowledge of the higher power's will and the strength to carry it out.
12. Having experienced a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, carrying the message to others struggling with addiction and practicing these principles in all aspects of life.

The 12-step method emphasizes the importance of peer support, mutual aid, and the sharing of personal experiences as a means of overcoming addiction. Participants typically attend regular meetings, where they share their stories, listen to others, and work through the steps at their own pace. Many 12-step programs also encourage members to find a sponsor, an experienced member who has worked through the steps and can provide guidance, support, and accountability during the recovery process."

What are signs that my loved one is a drug abuser?

Identifying a loved one's drug abuse can be challenging as symptoms can vary depending on the substance being used, the duration of use, and the individual's personal circumstances. However, there are several signs that could potentially indicate drug abuse. These signs can be physical, behavioral, and psychological.

Physical Signs:

• Noticeable changes in appetite or sleep patterns
• Bloodshot eyes, pupils that are larger or smaller than usual
• Sudden weight loss or weight gain
• Unusual smells on breath, body, or clothing
• Tremors, slurred speech, or impaired coordination
• Neglect of physical appearance and personal hygiene

Behavioral Signs:

• Unexplained need for money, or frequent financial problems
• Engaging in secretive or suspicious behaviors
• Sudden change in friends, favorite hangouts, and hobbies
• Frequently getting into trouble (fights, accidents, illegal activities)
• Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home
• Unexplained absences or a drop in performance in work or school

Psychological Signs:

• Unexplained change in personality or attitude
• Sudden mood swings, irritability, or angry outbursts
• Periods of unusual hyperactivity or agitation
• Lack of motivation, appears lethargic or "spaced out"
• Appears fearful, anxious, or paranoid without reason

Why do drug addicts blame everyone but themselves?

Drug addiction can significantly distort a person's thinking patterns and perceptions, leading them to behave in ways that are often self-protective and defensive. One of these behaviors can be a tendency to shift blame onto others. This occurs for a few reasons:

• Denial: One of the key psychological symptoms of addiction is denial. This is a defense mechanism that allows individuals to avoid confronting the reality of their addiction and its negative consequences. By blaming others, they deflect responsibility and maintain their state of denial.
• Avoiding Shame and Guilt: Addiction often carries a heavy burden of guilt and shame. Blaming others can be a way for individuals struggling with addiction to avoid these painful feelings and protect their self-image.
• Rationalizing Behavior: Blaming others can serve as a way for individuals to justify their drug use and associated behaviors. If they can convince themselves that their actions are a response to the actions of others, they may feel more justified in continuing their substance use.
• Fear of Consequences: Acknowledging personal responsibility could mean having to face significant consequences, including damage to relationships, legal issues, or the need for treatment. Blaming others allows the person to avoid these potential repercussions.
• Altered Brain Function: Drug abuse can lead to changes in the brain that impact judgment, decision making, learning, and behavior control, which might lead to a tendency to shift blame onto others.
