      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      How does a person become addicted to drugs?

      Addiction to drugs is a complex process that involves a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. It is not simply a matter of weak willpower or moral failing, but rather a chronic disease of the brain that can develop over time.

      Here's a simplified explanation of how a person may become addicted to drugs:

      1. Initial Use: The path to addiction often begins with the voluntary act of taking drugs. This could be due to curiosity, peer pressure, seeking pleasure or relief from stress, or even for medical reasons under prescription.
      2. Pleasure and Reward: Drugs alter the brain's normal functioning, typically leading to intense feelings of pleasure or the elimination of uncomfortable feelings. They do this by overstimulating the brain's reward system - particularly by releasing large amounts of a neurotransmitter called dopamine, which plays a significant role in feelings of pleasure and reward.
      3. Repeated Use and Tolerance: Over time, as a person continues to use the drug, the brain adjusts to the excess dopamine by producing less of it or reducing the ability of cells in the reward circuit to respond to it. This reduces the high, leading the person to take more of the drug in an attempt to recreate the original experience. This is known as developing a tolerance.
      4. Dependence: As the brain becomes used to the drug, physiological changes occur that make the person's body require the drug to function "normally." When the drug is not taken, withdrawal symptoms may be experienced, driving the person to continue using the drug to avoid these uncomfortable or even painful symptoms.
      5. Addiction: At this point, seeking and consuming the drug becomes a compulsion. The person may want to stop using the drug, but they find it extremely difficult or impossible to do so on their own, even in the face of negative consequences to their health, relationships, or other aspects of their life. The brain's cognitive functions related to judgment, decision-making, learning, memory, and behavior control are significantly altered, leading to harmful behaviors and the cycle of addiction.

      Can family members visit me if I go into a drug rehab program?

      Yes, in many cases, family members can visit you if you go into a drug rehab program, but the specific policies regarding visitation can vary greatly from one facility to another. Here are some general points to consider:

      • Initial Period of Adjustment: Many rehab programs have a period of adjustment when you first enter treatment during which visitors may not be allowed. This period allows you to focus on your recovery without external distractions.
      • Scheduled Visitation Times: Most inpatient rehab centers have specific visitation hours or designated visitation days. It's essential to check with the specific facility to understand their policies.
      • Family Therapy Sessions: Many rehab programs include family therapy as part of the treatment process. These sessions can be an opportunity for family members to engage in the recovery process and understand more about addiction and how to support their loved one in recovery.
      • Rules and Regulations: Rehab facilities usually have rules and regulations for visitors to ensure the safety and well-being of all patients. For example, visitors may be asked not to bring certain items into the facility, like substances that could be misused or trigger cravings.
      • COVID-19 Considerations: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, some facilities may have restricted visitation policies to protect the health of their patients and staff. Be sure to inquire about any such restrictions.

      Please note that the information provided here is general, and it's important to consult with the specific rehab facility you or your loved one are considering for accurate and up-to-date information about their visitation policies.


      How to talk to a family member about their addiction to drugs?

      When addressing a family member's addiction to drugs, it is essential to approach the conversation with empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental attitude. Here are some steps to consider when discussing this sensitive topic:

      1. Educate yourself: Before initiating the conversation, educate yourself about addiction, its causes, and available treatment options. This knowledge will help you better understand the situation and provide accurate information to your family member.
      2. Choose the right time and place: Find a suitable environment where both of you can have a private and uninterrupted conversation. Pick a time when your family member is sober and relatively calm, as it increases the chances of having a productive discussion.
      3. Express concern and love: Begin the conversation by expressing your genuine concern and love for your family member. Use "I" statements to convey your feelings without sounding accusatory. For example, say, "I've noticed some changes in your behavior, and I'm really worried about you."
      4. Use non-confrontational language: Avoid blaming or criticizing your family member, as it can lead to defensiveness and hinder the conversation. Instead, use non-confrontational language to express your observations and concerns. Focus on their well-being and the impact their addiction may be having on their life and relationships.
      5. Active listening: Encourage your family member to share their feelings, thoughts, and experiences regarding their addiction. Practice active listening by giving them your undivided attention, maintaining eye contact, and offering supportive responses. Show empathy and try to understand their perspective without judgment.
      6. Offer help and support: Let your family member know that you are there to support them through their journey to recovery. Provide information about available resources, such as local support groups, counseling services, or addiction treatment centers. Offer to accompany them to appointments or assist in finding suitable treatment options.
      7. Establish boundaries: While offering support, it is crucial to establish clear boundaries to protect yourself and other family members from enabling or codependent behaviors. Make it clear that you will not tolerate or participate in any activities that enable their addiction.
      8. Encourage professional help: Suggest the importance of seeking professional help from addiction specialists or therapists. Assure your family member that seeking help is a sign of strength, and it can greatly improve their chances of recovery.
      9. Avoid enabling behaviors: It's important not to enable your family member's addiction by providing financial assistance or covering up the consequences of their actions. Enabling can perpetuate the cycle of addiction and hinder their motivation to seek help.
      10. Self-care: Supporting a family member with addiction can be emotionally challenging. Take care of your own well-being by seeking support from friends, support groups, or therapists. Remember that you cannot control or fix their addiction, but you can offer love, support, and encouragement.
