Drug addiction is a disease of the spirit of the soul and body, in other words, it affects all levels of human nature. That is why this disease is much more dangerous than other pathologies, and the treatment of drug addiction is a time-consuming process that necessarily requires an integrated approach.

The primary task when a person enters a specialized center is the relief of withdrawal symptoms, that is, the elimination of the substance withdrawal syndrome, in slang this is called “knock down Kumar.” After that, you can begin the physical recovery of the body affected, both from the use itself and from opportunistic (accompanying) diseases, such as hepatitis, thrombophlebitis, cardiovascular dysfunction and other pathologies.

Then work begins with the soul, or the human psyche. Addiction tends to distort, disfigure a person’s character. In order to provide access to the object of dependence, in this case, the drug, the disease, it is necessary to destroy the barriers of the moral principles of a person. Therefore, the addict eventually becomes indifferent to those things that he previously appreciated. The drug becomes more important for him than relatives and friends, and often even more important than his own life.

After the emotional balance is restored, and life priorities are put in their place, it is time to engage in spiritual development. The purpose of addiction is to enslave the will of a person in order to deprive him of his freedom of choice, and to take away the opportunity to refuse the drug himself. Therefore, a person cannot solve the problem himself, the drug always wins. This explains the need for the help of a rehabilitation center for drug addicts, where specialists – psychologists, narcologists, spiritual mentors, who are ready to provide the necessary support at any time, enter the struggle for a person’s life.

In order to reorganize your worldview, you need a restriction from the influence of everyday bustle, for this, social isolation is recommended in the first periods of recovery. It is also necessary to have a certain environment that helps to work on introspection and is able to understand the experiences of a person, especially during periods of exacerbation of the disease.

Overcoming addiction is difficult, but it is possible. The enemy is strong, but by combining the efforts of professionals, the therapeutic community and of course of the man himself, victory is entirely possible!
