      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      How do addictive drugs influence behavior?

      Addictive drugs influence behavior by interacting with the brain's reward system. This system is responsible for driving pleasurable feelings and motivating behaviors essential to human survival, such as eating and socializing. Addictive substances can hijack this system, leading to changes in behavior and brain function.

      Here's a simplified explanation of how this works:

      Alteration of Neurotransmitter Activity: Addictive substances often increase the levels of certain neurotransmitters, chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells in the brain. One key neurotransmitter affected by many drugs is dopamine, which is closely associated with feelings of pleasure and reward.

      Overstimulation of the Reward System: By increasing dopamine levels, addictive drugs overstimulate the reward system, often creating a sense of euphoria. This intense pleasure can lead individuals to repeat the drug use to recapture this feeling.

      Development of Tolerance and Dependence: Over time, the brain adapts to the increased dopamine levels by producing less dopamine or reducing the number of receptors that can receive signals. As a result, the drug's effects are lessened, a phenomenon known as tolerance. This can lead users to take increasingly larger doses of the drug to achieve the same dopamine high. This cycle can lead to dependence, where the brain relies on the drug to function normally.

      Withdrawal and Cravings: When the drug is not taken, withdrawal symptoms can occur as the brain attempts to rebalance itself. These can include negative emotions like anxiety and depression, physical symptoms like nausea or restlessness, and intense cravings for the drug.

      Compulsive Drug-seeking Behavior: As the cycle of tolerance, dependence, withdrawal, and cravings continues, individuals may engage in compulsive drug-seeking behavior, even when faced with negative health, social, or legal consequences. This is a key characteristic of addiction.

      Impairment in Decision-making and Self-control: Long-term drug use can also cause changes to other areas of the brain that impair decision-making, self-control, judgment, learning, and memory, further fueling the cycle of addiction.


      If my mom and dad were substance abusers am I destined for the same?

      While a family history of substance abuse can increase your risk of developing a similar issue due to both genetic and environmental factors, it does not mean you are destined to become a substance abuser. Genetics can make up about 40-60% of the risk for addiction, but the remaining percentage is influenced by environmental and personal factors.

      Environmental influences can include your upbringing, your parents' behaviors, your exposure to drugs or alcohol, your social circle, and your experiences with stress and trauma. Personal factors involve your individual personality traits, your mental health, and your coping mechanisms. All these can significantly contribute to whether or not you develop a substance use disorder.

      Importantly, risk is not destiny. Just because you are at a higher risk doesn't mean you will inevitably develop a substance abuse problem. Prevention strategies can be highly effective. These might include:

      Education: Understanding the risks and consequences of substance abuse can deter initiation of drug use.

      Healthy Coping Mechanisms: Developing healthy ways to cope with stress, such as through exercise, meditation, hobbies, or therapy, can reduce the need to turn to substances for relief.

      Strong Support Networks: Having supportive and understanding friends, family, or mentors can provide a safety net when facing potential pitfalls.

      Mental Health Care: Ensuring good mental health through therapy or counseling can reduce the risk, as mental health disorders can increase the likelihood of substance abuse.

      Delaying Substance Use: The later in life a person first uses drugs, the less likely they are to develop a problem.

      Remember, even if substance abuse does become an issue, it is not a life sentence. Effective treatments are available that can help individuals overcome addiction and lead healthy, productive lives. If you're worried about your risk, it might be helpful to discuss your concerns with a healthcare provider, a counselor, or a trusted person in your life.


      How can I support my adult child in their recovery process?

      Supporting an adult child in their recovery process can be a challenging yet crucial role. Here are some ways you can provide support:

      Educate Yourself: Learn about addiction and the recovery process. Understanding the nature of your child's struggle can help you provide more effective support and reduce misperceptions and stigma.

      Encourage Treatment: Encourage your child to seek professional help and stay engaged with their treatment plan. This could involve therapy, counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and/or participation in a recovery support group.

      Be Patient and Understanding: Recovery is a long and challenging process that often involves setbacks. Be patient with your child's progress and provide emotional support and encouragement.

      Promote Healthy Lifestyle: Encourage your child to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This could involve supporting them in adopting healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. Also, help them find healthy coping mechanisms and hobbies to replace substance use.

      Support Their Independence: It's important for your adult child to feel capable and independent. While it's important to support them, avoid taking over their responsibilities. Instead, encourage them to take charge of their own recovery.

      Set Boundaries: Clear, healthy boundaries are crucial in any relationship, but especially when dealing with addiction. Communicate your limits openly and honestly. For example, you might make it clear that you won't provide financial support for substance use.

      Attend Family Therapy: Consider participating in family therapy or counseling. This can help you understand how to better support your child, improve communication, and address any issues within the family dynamic that may contribute to the substance use disorder.

      Join a Support Group: Consider joining a support group for parents of adults with substance use disorders. These groups can provide understanding, advice, and resources.

      Take Care of Yourself: Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Ensure you're taking care of your own physical and mental health too. Seek support when you need it, and take time for self-care.
