Many addicts fear the stigma associated with addiction and professional rehabilitation. In the spotlight, addiction is seen as something that individuals should be ashamed of having. There is a lot of blaming that is associated with addiction of any kind.
How could you let it go this far? Don’t you see how you’re hurting your family and friends? You’re good for nothing. These are just some of the harsh comments that addicts hear either in person or on television or in movies.
The consensus is that addiction is a choice, but of course, this is not true at all. Addiction is a real disease that takes over a person’s life and makes it almost impossible for them to recover on their own. No one would ask someone with cancer to try to get it together on their own, and as a community, we shouldn’t ask addicts to cure their own diseases either.
But the fact remains that addicts blame themselves, and for this reason, they are hesitant to go into rehab when their addictions get serious. Instead, if you are addicted to drugs or alcohol for example, you may try to overcome addiction on your own. That’s a big problem.
As stated, addiction is a serious illness that progressively ruins your life in a myriad of ways. Your health, finances, family and career are all at stake, so stopping the progression is of the utmost importance.
But trying to overcome addiction on your own is a dangerous path to go down. One of the reasons is that the detox process can be extremely difficult.
During the first part of any rehab program at home or at a facility, you must detox. This process involves stopping the use of drugs over a period of time or all at once.
But by doing that, you are depriving the body of something it has become used to, and this can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. Detox symptoms include nausea, headaches, sleeplessness, stomach pain, vomiting and other problems, which can lead to severe medical complications down the line.
If you or someone you love is looking for freedom of addiction, you need the professional help or a reputable drug and alcohol rehab center like Freedom from Addiction. If you are helping a family member, get involved, and remove the stigma of professional help.
