      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

      Can I go cold turkey to stop abusing opioids?

      While going "cold turkey," or suddenly stopping the use of opioids, might seem like a fast way to begin recovery, it's generally not recommended due to the severity of withdrawal symptoms and potential health risks.

      Opioid withdrawal can be intensely uncomfortable and, in some cases, hazardous. Symptoms can include severe cravings, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes, and involuntary leg movements. In severe cases, withdrawal can lead to serious dehydration or electrolyte imbalances.

      Furthermore, abruptly stopping opioid use can significantly increase the risk of relapse. The discomfort of withdrawal symptoms may make it more difficult to stay abstinent, and an individual may be tempted to use again just to relieve these symptoms. If a person relapses and takes the same dose they were previously accustomed to, the risk of overdose is high because the body's tolerance to the substance has decreased.

      For these reasons, opioid withdrawal should ideally be managed under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which includes medications like methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone, can be used to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. These medications work by acting on the same brain receptors targeted by opioids, but they do so in a safer manner that helps to manage withdrawal and reduce the risk of relapse.

      In addition to MAT, counseling and behavioral therapies are typically part of a comprehensive treatment program for opioid use disorder. These approaches can help individuals develop the skills and strategies needed to maintain recovery in the long term.

      What happens in an intervention for someone with an addiction to drugs?

      An intervention for someone with a drug addiction is a structured and planned event designed to encourage the individual to acknowledge their addiction and seek professional help. The primary goal is to guide the person towards accepting treatment and taking the necessary steps towards recovery. Here is an outline of what typically happens during an intervention:

      • Planning: Before the intervention, loved ones and concerned parties (such as family members and friends) gather to discuss the situation and develop a plan. They may enlist the help of a professional interventionist, who can provide guidance on the intervention process and help maintain focus on the desired outcome.
      • Preparation: Participants gather information about the person's addiction, the impact it has had on their lives, and the available treatment options. They also prepare personal statements expressing their concern, love, and support, while addressing the negative consequences of the individual's drug use.
      • Rehearsal: The group rehearses the intervention to ensure that everyone is prepared, confident, and aware of their roles. This step helps participants maintain a calm and non-confrontational tone during the actual intervention.
      • The intervention meeting: The person with the addiction is invited to a pre-arranged location, often under the pretense of a different event. The group then confronts the individual with their prepared statements, detailing the impact of the addiction on their lives and urging the person to seek help.
      • Presentation of treatment options: The group presents the person with a pre-selected treatment plan or multiple options, emphasizing the importance of immediate action. It's crucial to have arrangements in place, such as pre-admission to a treatment facility or an appointment with a counselor, to facilitate a smooth transition into treatment.
      • Setting boundaries and consequences: During the intervention, participants establish clear boundaries and consequences if the person refuses to accept help. These consequences may include ceasing financial support, limiting contact, or other actions to protect themselves from the negative effects of the addiction.
      • Support and encouragement: Throughout the intervention, participants express their love and support for the individual, emphasizing their belief in the person's ability to recover and rebuild their life.
      • Post-intervention follow-up: If the person agrees to seek treatment, the group continues to provide support during their recovery process. If the person refuses help, the group must follow through with the established consequences to reinforce the seriousness of the situation.

      How does a person become addicted to drugs and alcohol?

      Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a complex process involving a combination of genetic, environmental, psychological, and social factors. While not everyone who uses drugs or alcohol will become addicted, certain factors can increase an individual's vulnerability to addiction. Some key factors contributing to addiction include:

      • Genetic predisposition: Genetics play a significant role in addiction, accounting for an estimated 40-60% of an individual's vulnerability. People with a family history of addiction may be more susceptible to developing a substance use disorder.
      • Environmental influences: A person's environment can significantly impact their likelihood of developing an addiction. Factors such as exposure to drugs or alcohol, peer pressure, low socioeconomic status, and lack of parental supervision can contribute to substance use and potential addiction.
      • Early initiation: Research indicates that individuals who begin using drugs or alcohol at an early age are at a higher risk of developing addiction later in life. Early exposure to substances can disrupt normal brain development, making it more challenging to resist addictive behaviors.
      • Psychological factors: Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders, can increase the risk of addiction. Individuals may turn to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism for managing emotional distress, which can lead to dependence and addiction.
      • Social factors: Social isolation, lack of support networks, or unhealthy relationships can contribute to addiction. Individuals may use drugs or alcohol to fill a void or establish connections with others, increasing their risk of developing a substance use disorder.
      • Chronic use: Repeated exposure to drugs or alcohol can lead to physiological changes in the brain's reward and pleasure centers. Over time, these changes can result in the development of tolerance, dependence, and ultimately addiction.
      • Route of administration: The method by which a substance is consumed can impact the likelihood of addiction. Faster-acting routes of administration, such as injecting, smoking, or snorting, can lead to a more rapid onset of pleasurable effects, increasing the risk of addiction.
