Jake Wells, born in 1981, has seen many of his friends become drug addicts. He couldn't see them destroy their lives like that so he had them interned in drug rehab facilities. He believes anyone can overcome drug addiction with enough determination and information. Visit his website at www.addictionsrehab.net to read about the different drug rehab centers available.
If you want to quit smoking drugs, or have a friend or family member that wants to quit smoking drugs you have to be conscious that you, he, or she can’t do it alone. This is a rough thing to go through and the most effective way to get passed it is with the help of the closest people to the drug addict.
It’s a tricky process with different phases and you should know what is going to happen in order to face the challenges correctly. In my opinion you can identify four main phases. The first phase, as with alcoholism, is denial. A person addicted to anything will refuse to believe he or she is because he or she thinks is in total control. You have to try to the greatest extent to let the person realize that he or she is addicted and has to quit smoking drugs.
Detox
The second phase… Detox. Even though each phase is extremely difficult to overcome, the particular phase is the one where more physical instability is visible. The body has gotten used to the chemical substance inside it, and now is manifesting its dislike for not having it anymore. Things like anxiety attacks, vomiting, shakiness, blackouts… are all common. After this comes the phase of maintenance; extremely difficult.
In this part you have to make sure that the person, whether you or someone else, doesn’t have contact with the drug. If not, it will result in a relapse and the addiction will continue. The person can NEVER be in contact with the drug. It doesn’t matter if the person was addicted at 16 years old and then stopped at 1 and in his late thirties decides to try it again because of some personal crisis.
The best way to successfully get rid of a drug addiction problem is by interning the person in a drug rehab clinic. There he or she will find more people to count with support, which is a vital part if he or she wants to quit smoking drugs.
