Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

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.

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 does a detox do for a person afflicted with alcohol or drug addiction?

Detoxification, or detox, is the process of removing toxic substances, such as drugs or alcohol, from an individual's body. It is usually the initial step in treating a person with alcohol or drug addiction before they undergo further treatment or therapy. Detox serves several purposes in the recovery process:

• Physical stabilization: Detox helps the body rid itself of harmful substances, allowing the individual to regain physical stability. This process can alleviate some of the immediate health risks associated with substance abuse.
• Management of withdrawal symptoms: Detox addresses the withdrawal symptoms that can arise when an individual stops using drugs or alcohol. Depending on the substance and the severity of the addiction, withdrawal symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include physical discomfort, agitation, anxiety, and even life-threatening complications. A medically supervised detox can provide a safe and controlled environment to manage these symptoms, which may include the use of medications to alleviate discomfort and reduce cravings.
• Preparation for further treatment: Detox is often the first step in the recovery process, preparing the individual for further treatment such as counseling, therapy, or support groups. By addressing the physical dependence on substances, detox allows the individual to focus on the psychological, emotional, and behavioral aspects of their addiction during the subsequent phases of treatment.
• Assessment of individual needs: During detox, healthcare professionals can evaluate the individual's specific needs and circumstances, which may include co-occurring mental health disorders or other medical conditions. This assessment can help inform a tailored treatment plan to support the individual's recovery journey.
• Establishment of a support network: Detox provides an opportunity for individuals to connect with healthcare providers, therapists, and other individuals in recovery. This support network can play a critical role in maintaining motivation and providing encouragement throughout the recovery process.
