      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      Is substance abuse recovery a life long process?

      Substance abuse recovery is often described as a lifelong process. This is due to the chronic nature of addiction, which is a brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. Like other chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease, addiction often requires long-term or repeated care to manage symptoms and prevent relapse.

      Here are key reasons why recovery is often a lifelong process:

      • Changes in Brain Function: Substance use can cause long-lasting changes in the brain that persist even after the substance is no longer used. These changes can lead to cravings or triggers for drug use, which can potentially lead to relapse.
      • Behavioral Changes: Substance use often involves habits and behaviors that become deeply ingrained over time. Changing these behaviors and developing new, healthier habits can take time and ongoing effort.
      • Coping Mechanisms: Many individuals use substances as a way to cope with stress, trauma, or other underlying issues. Recovery often involves learning new coping mechanisms and addressing these underlying issues, which can be a long-term process.
      • Support Systems: Recovery often involves building or rebuilding supportive relationships and social networks, which can take time.
      • Maintenance of Physical and Mental Health: Substance use can lead to a variety of physical and mental health issues. Managing these conditions and maintaining overall health can be an ongoing part of recovery.
      • Relapse Prevention: Relapse rates for substance use disorders are similar to those of other chronic illnesses. Ongoing care, support, and strategies for managing cravings and triggers can help prevent relapse over the long term.

      What are the effects of fentanyl?

      Pain relief: Fentanyl's primary medical use is for pain relief, as it binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain and increase pain tolerance.

      Euphoria: Like other opioids, fentanyl can produce feelings of euphoria by increasing the release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the brain, which can contribute to its potential for abuse and addiction.

      Sedation: Fentanyl can cause drowsiness, sedation, and a general feeling of relaxation. In medical settings, this effect is often desirable, but it can be dangerous if the drug is taken recreationally or without proper supervision.

      Respiratory depression: One of the most severe side effects of fentanyl is respiratory depression, which is a slowing of the breathing rate. This can lead to a lack of oxygen, resulting in brain damage, coma, or death, especially if taken in high doses or combined with other substances that suppress breathing.

      Nausea and vomiting: Fentanyl can cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, which are common among opioid users.

      Constipation: Opioids like fentanyl can slow down the movement of food through the digestive tract, resulting in constipation.

      Itching: Fentanyl and other opioids can cause histamine release, leading to itching or skin irritation in some users.

      Dependence and addiction: Due to its potency, fentanyl has a high potential for dependence and addiction. Prolonged use can lead to physical dependence, withdrawal symptoms, and psychological addiction, making it challenging to stop using the drug.

      Overdose: Fentanyl's potency increases the risk of overdose, which can be life-threatening. Symptoms of fentanyl overdose include extreme drowsiness, difficulty breathing, slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and unconsciousness. Naloxone, an opioid antagonist, can be administered to reverse the effects of a fentanyl overdose, but multiple doses may be required due to fentanyl's potency.


      Why are drug addicts so manipulative?

      Individuals struggling with addiction can sometimes exhibit manipulative behaviors, but it's essential to understand that this isn't a characteristic of the person themselves, but rather a manifestation of the disease of addiction. These behaviors are typically driven by a powerful compulsion to continue using substances, often rooted in physical dependency, fear of withdrawal, or a desire to escape from negative feelings.

      Manipulative behaviors can manifest in various ways. For instance, a person may lie or deceive others about their substance use, make excuses, shift blame, or use emotional tactics to avoid confrontations about their behavior or to secure resources for continuing their drug use. Often, these individuals are not consciously trying to be deceptive or manipulative; instead, they are driven by the intense compulsion created by their addiction.

      Addiction also affects brain functions, including those responsible for judgment, decision making, learning, memory, and behavior control. When the brain's reward system is hijacked by substance use, obtaining and using the substance can take priority over everything else, leading to behaviors that the individual might not exhibit otherwise.

      It's worth noting that not every person with a substance use disorder exhibits manipulative behaviors, and if they do, it's not a sign of their character, but rather the severity of their disorder.

      The development of manipulative behaviors signals a need for professional help. Substance use disorders are serious, and effective treatments often involve a combination of medication, therapy, and long-term follow-up. Therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals understand their behaviors, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild damaged relationships. Family and loved ones can also benefit from guidance and support on how to navigate these challenges without enabling the addiction.
