      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      Do addicts lie to themselves?

      Yes, it is quite common for individuals struggling with addiction to lie to themselves, a phenomenon often referred to as denial. Denial is a psychological defense mechanism that helps a person avoid confronting painful realities, emotions, or actions that they may not be prepared to handle.

      In the context of addiction, an individual might convince themselves that they have their drug or alcohol use under control, that they can stop anytime they want, or that their substance use is not impacting their life negatively. They may downplay the quantity of substance consumed, the frequency of their use, or the resulting consequences. This self-deception can serve to protect them from the guilt, shame, or fear that might arise from acknowledging the full extent of their addiction.

      Here are some common forms of self-deception seen in addiction:

      • Minimization: Downplaying the severity or consequences of their substance use.
      • Rationalization: Creating explanations or excuses to justify their drug or alcohol use.
      • Blaming: Attributing their substance use or related problems to external factors or other people.
      • Diversion: Changing the topic or focus to avoid discussing their substance use.

      Denial and self-deception can make it hard for people struggling with addiction to seek help or fully engage in treatment, as they may not fully acknowledge that they have a problem. This is why interventions, carried out with love, understanding, and professional guidance, can be essential in helping individuals recognize the reality of their addiction and take the necessary steps towards recovery.

      However, it's crucial to remember that lying and self-deception are not moral failings but symptoms of the disease of addiction. Professional help and compassionate support from loved ones can help individuals break through their denial and embark on the path to recovery.


      How to help an addict without enabling them?

      Helping an individual struggling with addiction without enabling them requires a fine balance. Here are some strategies that might be helpful:

      • Understand the Difference between Helping and Enabling: Helping involves actions that promote recovery and responsibility, while enabling involves actions that indirectly support or condone the addictive behavior. For example, providing money without accountability might support the purchase of substances, which would be enabling. Instead, directly paying for a necessity like rent or an utility bill could be a more supportive choice.
      • Set Boundaries: Establish clear rules and expectations for behavior. These could involve no drug use at home, or consequences for missed commitments. Consistency is important when enforcing these boundaries.
      • Encourage Treatment: Continually encourage your loved one to seek professional help for their addiction. You could assist by researching treatment options or helping to arrange appointments, but the decision to follow through must ultimately be theirs.
      • Offer Emotional Support: Provide reassurance, empathy, and love. This kind of support fosters a sense of self-worth, which can be a motivating factor for seeking treatment.
      • Avoid Covering Up for Their Addiction: Do not lie or make excuses for their behavior. This can perpetuate the cycle of denial and avoid the necessary realization of the harmful effects of their addiction.
      • Practice Self-Care: Caring for someone with an addiction can be emotionally draining. Be sure to take care of your own health and wellbeing, seeking outside support if needed.
      • Educate Yourself: Learning about the nature of addiction can help you respond more effectively. Consider attending support group meetings for friends and family members of people with addiction, such as Al-Anon or Nar-Anon.
      • Support Recovery, Not Addiction: Be mindful of any actions that may unintentionally support the addiction rather than the person. This could involve refusing to provide money that could be used on substances, while instead offering help in forms that directly support recovery, like providing transportation to therapy sessions.

      What areas of the body are most effected by long term drug abuse?

      Long-term drug abuse can have significant impacts on various systems and organs within the body. The specific effects can vary depending on the type of drug used, but here are some general areas that can be affected:

      Brain: Drug abuse can change the brain's structure and function, leading to alterations in behavior, judgment, memory, decision-making, and even mental health. Chronic use can lead to neurological disorders and cognitive decline.

      Heart: Many drugs put a significant strain on the cardiovascular system, leading to a range of heart-related issues. These can include increased heart rate, high blood pressure, damaged heart muscle, irregular heartbeat, and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

      Liver: The liver plays a key role in metabolizing substances, including drugs. Chronic drug use can lead to a variety of liver conditions, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver failure.

      Lungs: Drugs that are smoked or inhaled can cause serious lung damage. This can lead to chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, and other respiratory diseases. Opioids can also slow breathing, potentially leading to hypoxia, a condition where not enough oxygen reaches the brain.

      Kidneys: Certain drugs can lead to kidney damage and disease, including kidney failure. This can be caused by increased body temperature, breakdown of muscle tissue that clogs the kidneys, and direct kidney toxicity from the drugs themselves.

      Digestive System: Drug use can also affect the digestive system, leading to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and changes in appetite and metabolism. Some drugs can also cause significant damage to the stomach and intestines.

      Skin: Certain drugs can also affect the skin, leading to conditions like acne, skin infections, or skin picking resulting in sores. Intravenous drug use can lead to collapsed veins and infections of the blood vessels and heart valves.

      Immune System: Some drugs can weaken the immune system, making users more susceptible to infections, diseases, and certain types of cancer.

      It's important to note that the specific health effects of drug abuse can vary depending on the individual, the drug(s) used, the frequency and duration of use, and other factors. Seeking professional help and treatment is crucial for mitigating the negative health consequences of drug abuse.
