Drug addiction is a behavior that is to consume habitually or periodically, one or more psychotropic substances (drugs) may lead to addiction or state of physical dependence or psychological.
For some, addiction is a coping strategy that allows a person to anesthetize using psychotropic drugs, feelings of helplessness, failure, incompetence, that is to say that depression feeds despair or pain of living sometimes rooted deep within themselves since childhood.
For others, addiction is part of a hedonistic lifestyle, egocentric and antisocial adopted prior to their introduction to drugs, the pursuit of pleasure is the basis or purpose of life, at a minimum price of effort.
“Drug addiction is a multidimensional problem because it affects the physical and mental health of individuals, their social and economic life and, in some cases because they are likely to face justice. It is multidimensional because it has many causes and many consequences, it touches many facets of life of the individual and his environment and it affects the mental balance of the person, it interferes with the quality life’s relationships, that is to say in his roles as spouse, parent, brother, sister, son, daughter, employee, employer, citizen, etc.
Individually,
Some have become addicts:
Because of their associations with other consumers;
In response to events they were unprepared
(school failure, separation, divorce, death in the parental couple);
To negotiate the pressure or stress caused by the environment, bonds, emotional life.
All addicts have difficulty coping, but the emotional and social immaturity is not the same degree and above all, do not speak the same way in each.
The addict involved in a lifestyle that essentially criminalized a first needs to be arrested, faces, strongly framed and re-educated in everything he is.
The addict for whom drug use is a form of self-medication to numb depression, forget what it is, needs to be encouraged to share and adjusted by discounting potential that they can no longer see.
INDICES OF DRUGS
Daily use of one or more drugs;
The deviant or delinquent behaviors associated with a lifestyle that leaves less room for other activities or interests that those seeking their consumption needs;
The isolation and multiple conflicts with their social environment;
The disengagement against everything that confronts them or prevent them to remain under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
Feelings of helplessness and even despair about the future;
The behaviors and attitudes of withdrawal, if not self-destruct (suicide).
PATTERNS OF CONSUMPTION
Among those who have multiple social adjustment problems, many have become trapped by drug consumption patterns.
Alcohol (or joint) become indispensable to the relaxation period at the end of the day;Alcohol (or line of cocaine) became necessary for the performance or love to the commercial transaction; Alcohol for “passing” the emotion of a good or bad news; The poppy has become essential to achieve the sleep; The routine use to escape the loneliness;
The alcohol to fill the emptiness inside, etc.
It is not enough to stop eating for better work, it must identify the role played by drugs.
What I watch depends not so much to effect chemical or physical substance to the experience it entails, a relief of stress or anxiety, that is ie anesthesia awareness.
Drug-free tension resurfaces as long as the psychological and social factors that cause is always present.
