      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      In what ways do drug addiction change one's personality?

      Drug addiction can significantly change an individual's personality in various ways. The changes are often a result of how the substance interacts with the brain and can affect one's behaviors, emotions, and interactions with others. Here are some common ways in which drug addiction may alter personality:

      Increased Aggression or Irritability: Substances can affect the brain's balance of neurotransmitters, leading to changes in mood and behavior. This can result in increased aggression, irritability, or mood swings, which might not align with the person's typical personality traits.

      Decreased Motivation: Many addictive substances can lead to a decreased interest or motivation in activities that were once enjoyed. This can result in a noticeable change in personality, as the person may appear apathetic or disinterested in life outside their substance use.

      Increased Impulsivity and Risk-taking: Drug addiction often leads to increased impulsivity and risk-taking behaviors. This is due to changes in the brain's reward system and decision-making processes, leading individuals to take more risks to obtain the substance, often disregarding the potential consequences.

      Paranoia and Anxiety: Some substances can induce feelings of paranoia or increase levels of anxiety. Individuals who were previously calm and trusting may become suspicious, anxious, or overly worried.

      Depression: Many individuals struggling with substance use disorders also experience symptoms of depression. This can lead to a noticeable change in personality, including increased sadness, lethargy, and withdrawal from social activities.

      Manipulative Behavior: In order to continue using and obtaining drugs, individuals may resort to manipulative behaviors, such as lying, stealing, or deceit. This can result in a significant change in personality, as individuals may prioritize their addiction over their relationships and personal values.

      Social Isolation: As drug addiction progresses, individuals may isolate themselves from family and friends, either to hide their substance use or because their primary relationships are increasingly with others who are using drugs.

      Neglect of Personal Care: Addiction can lead to neglect of personal care and hygiene, which may manifest in physical changes as well as shifts in personality traits related to self-discipline and self-respect.


      What percentages of interventions for drug and alcohol addiction are successful?

      Quantifying the exact success rate of interventions for drug and alcohol addiction can be challenging due to the complex nature of addiction, variability in intervention methods and follow-up, and differences in how "success" is defined. However, studies suggest that interventions can indeed be effective in encouraging individuals to seek help for their substance use disorders.

      It's important to note that the term "intervention" covers a wide range of strategies aimed at encouraging individuals to seek treatment. These can include formal interventions organized by a professional interventionist, interventions conducted by family and friends, or interventions carried out by healthcare providers.

      The success of an intervention can depend on numerous factors, including:

      The specific nature of the person's addiction: The type of substance used, the severity of the addiction, and the presence of co-occurring mental health disorders can all influence the effectiveness of an intervention.

      The type of intervention used: Some types of interventions may be more effective than others, depending on the individual and their specific circumstances.

      The involvement of a professional: Interventions led by professionals who have experience dealing with addiction can potentially have higher success rates because they have the skills and knowledge to manage complex dynamics that can arise.

      The readiness of the individual: An intervention may be more successful if the person is already contemplating change or recognizes they have a problem.

      While it's difficult to provide a specific success rate, it's important to understand that even if an intervention doesn't immediately result in the person seeking treatment, it can still plant a seed that leads to future change. It can increase the person's awareness of their problem and their impact on others, which can prompt them to consider treatment at a later date.

      Remember, it's crucial to approach interventions with empathy, respect, and understanding, as addiction is a complex disease that often requires ongoing support and care. If you're considering an intervention, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare provider or an addiction professional to determine the best approach.


      How can I get a person help that is addicted to drugs?

      Educate yourself: Learn about drug addiction, its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Understanding the complexities of addiction will help you better empathize with the person and offer informed support.

      1. Approach with compassion: Initiate a conversation about their drug use in a non-confrontational, empathetic, and non-judgmental manner. Express your concerns about the impact of their drug use on their well-being and the potential consequences.
      2. Encourage professional help: Encourage the person to seek professional assistance from a medical professional, therapist, or addiction counselor. Offer to help them find suitable resources and provide support as they take steps towards treatment. It's important to remember that professional help is often crucial for successful recovery from addiction.
      3. Offer emotional support: Be available to listen and provide emotional support throughout the recovery process. Maintain open communication and offer a safe space for the individual to share their experiences and feelings.
      4. Suggest support groups: Recommend joining support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), or SMART Recovery, which provide a community of individuals with similar experiences and offer guidance and encouragement throughout the recovery process.
      5. Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to protect your own well-being and communicate your expectations about the person's behavior. Be firm yet compassionate, making it clear that you will not enable their drug use.
      6. Assist with lifestyle changes: Help the person develop healthier habits, such as engaging in physical activity, improving their diet, and finding alternative ways to manage stress. Offer to participate in these activities together to provide additional support and motivation.
      7. Be patient: Recovery from drug addiction is a long-term process, and relapses may occur. Understand that setbacks are part of the journey, and continue to offer support and encouragement as the person works towards sobriety.
      8. Care for yourself: Supporting someone with drug addiction can be emotionally taxing. Ensure you are taking care of your own mental and emotional health by seeking support from friends, family, or professional counselors if needed.
