      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.


      Why do drug addicts do what they do?

      "People with substance use disorders engage in their behavior for various reasons, often complex and interconnected. Understanding these reasons is crucial to treating addiction. Here are some common factors:

      Pleasure Seeking: Drugs often produce intense feelings of pleasure, euphoria, or relief from pain. The initial high can be so powerful that individuals continue using the substance to experience that feeling again.

      Escape or Self-Medication: Many people use drugs as a way to escape from reality or cope with difficult feelings, trauma, stress, or mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Drugs can temporarily dull these feelings, but they do not address the root cause of the distress.

      Physical Dependence: Over time, the body can develop a physical dependence on the substance, requiring it to function normally. Without the substance, the individual may experience unpleasant or even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.

      Psychological Dependence: Even after physical dependence is managed, psychological cravings can persist. The desire to use drugs can become a powerful mental urge that dominates a person's thoughts and behaviors.

      Peer Pressure or Social Influence: The influence of friends or social circles where drug use is common can encourage initial use or ongoing abuse of drugs.

      Genetic Factors and Early Exposure: Genetics can play a role in vulnerability to addiction, as can exposure to drugs at a young age or in the prenatal period.

      Lack of Coping Mechanisms: Without healthy coping strategies for life's stresses and challenges, some people turn to drugs as a way of dealing with these issues.

      Changes in Brain Function: Long-term substance use can lead to changes in the brain that result in increased cravings and decreased ability to resist drug use, despite harmful consequences.


      How to face a drug abuser as a family?

      Facing a family member who is a drug abuser is a challenging and emotional process. The ultimate goal should be to encourage the individual to seek help. Here are some steps that can be taken:

      • Educate Yourself: Understanding addiction is key. It's a complex disease that affects both the brain and behavior. Learning about the nature of addiction, its causes, its effects, and the process of recovery will equip you with the necessary knowledge to approach your loved one.
      • Create a Safe Space for Dialogue: Organize a time to sit down and discuss your concerns. The environment should be non-judgmental and non-confrontational to prevent the person from feeling attacked or defensive.
      • Express Concern and Love: Start the conversation expressing your love and concern. Be honest about your feelings and observations, providing specific examples of behaviors that have worried you.
      • Use "I" Statements: Instead of accusing or blaming, use "I" statements to express how you feel. For instance, instead of saying, "You're ruining your life," say, "I feel worried and scared when I see you harming yourself."
      • Encourage Them to Seek Help: Encourage your loved one to seek professional help. Offer to assist them in finding resources, such as therapists, counselors, rehabilitation centers, or support groups.
      • Consider an Intervention: If direct conversation doesn't work, consider planning a professional intervention. An intervention involves a gathering of close friends and family who express concern and urge the individual to get help, guided by a professional interventionist.
      • Set Boundaries: It's important to protect your own well-being. This can involve setting boundaries regarding what behaviors you will not tolerate. Be firm about these boundaries and the consequences of crossing them.
      • Seek Support for Yourself: Coping with a loved one's addiction can be emotionally taxing. Don't neglect your own needs. Seek support from therapists, counselors, or support groups designed for family members of people struggling with substance abuse.
