Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

Top reasons that drug and alcohol abusers in recovery relapse?

Relapse is a common part of the recovery journey for many individuals struggling with substance abuse. It's important to note that a relapse doesn't mean treatment has failed; rather, it indicates that the treatment plan needs to be revisited or adjusted. Here are some of the top reasons why individuals in recovery might relapse:

• Stress: High levels of stress can trigger a return to substance use as a coping mechanism.
• Lack of Support System: A strong support system is crucial in maintaining sobriety. Lack of emotional support and understanding from friends and family can contribute to relapse.
• Triggers and Temptations: Being in environments or around people associated with past substance use can act as triggers, leading to a desire to use again.
• Unresolved Psychological Issues: Mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or trauma, can lead to a relapse if they're not effectively treated.
• Overconfidence: Some individuals may become overconfident and believe they can control their substance use without professional help, leading to a relapse.
• Poor Self-Care: Neglecting physical health, skipping meals, lack of sleep, and not taking care of oneself in general can contribute to a relapse.
• Incomplete Treatment: Leaving a treatment program before it is completed can leave individuals ill-prepared to resist the urge to use substances.
• Not Having a Plan: If an individual does not have a clear plan for dealing with cravings or triggers, they are more likely to relapse when confronted with these challenges.
• Challenging Emotions: Negative emotions like anger, sadness, loneliness, and frustration can sometimes lead to a desire to return to substance use as a way to escape.
• Celebrations or Positive Events: Surprisingly, positive events or celebrations can also trigger a relapse. The association of substance use with celebration or reward can lead to the temptation to use.

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.

What is drug addiction commonly called in the mental health fields?

In the mental health field, drug addiction is commonly referred to as a "Substance Use Disorder" (SUD). This term is used in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which is the standard classification of mental disorders used by mental health professionals in the United States.

A Substance Use Disorder is defined as a pattern of behaviors characterized by an inability to control or cut down on use, spending a lot of time obtaining the substance, craving the substance, failing to fulfill obligations at work, school, or home due to substance use, and continuing to use the substance despite knowing it's causing physical or psychological harm.

Substance Use Disorders can be further categorized based on the specific substance involved, such as Alcohol Use Disorder, Opioid Use Disorder, Cannabis Use Disorder, and so forth. The severity of the disorder is also assessed (mild, moderate, or severe) based on the number of diagnostic criteria met by an individual.

It's worth noting that this terminology emphasizes the understanding of drug addiction as a medical disorder, rather than a moral failing or a matter of willpower. This shift in language is part of a larger effort to reduce stigma and promote a more compassionate, effective approach to treatment.
