The addicted person has two fundamental characteristics: obsessed with their drug of choice and compulsion to consume. Also, your disease is characterized by self-deception that prevents him from accepting the sufferer and the denial of their problems and consequences that are related to their use. Do not know who is sick, so they come to believe is inferior to others and would be useless to try and live without drugs. He also believes that lives needs no help, or anyone could help. Perceives others and their world through a mind intoxicated, so the effort of the people around you does not penetrate in an objective and rational.

No human being intoxicated want to harm and hurt people you love most. The intention is to escape pain, manage their emotions, or even to drugs to feel “normal.” Obviously, the result is reversed: he suffers even more, their emotions are quite disturbed and feel “abnormal”. These people are victims of a powerful disease that affects millions of people worldwide and which can hardly be helped directly by family or friends.

For many alcoholics and drug addicts, the most difficult step was to admit they have this illness and accept help. When this happens, your recovery process starts. The easy way is to put in the hands of professionals who understand and share your experience to receive the tools and knowledge necessary to improve their quality of life. The hard way is to try to do it alone, by trying unsuccessfully again and again.

PHASE III:
Monitoring and Prevention

The objectives of this phase are:

Consolidate abstinence and changes made by the patient.

Prevent situations that may pose a risk of relapse, and give the patient the best resources and tools to address them.

Giving the patient more autonomy and independence through a gradual reduction of their stay in the center (under supervision and indication of the treatment team).

Getting personal reintegration, family, social, professional of the patient to achieve a full and satisfying life in all areas.

Getting families and couples to understand this disease, actively participate in patient recovery and normalize family life.

PHASE II:
Stabilization and Consolidation

The objectives of this phase are:

To develop efficient therapeutic strategies for the patient understand their disease and learn to live well without addictive drugs.

Login significant changes, the patient works to meet their personal resources and obstacles and thus increasingly assume responsibility and commitment in their treatment.

Advance the Patient Self-knowledge, and in the normalization of their family relationships, social, employment and partner.

Strengthen supervision gradually decreasing withdrawal of the treatment team.

The length of time recommended for this therapeutic process is a minimum of twelve months, but each case will be assessed by the clinical team. This treatment is structured in three phases:

PHASE I:
Detoxification, Addiction Treatment and Immersion

The objectives of this phase are:

Detoxification, suited to the characteristics of each patient under close medical supervision may take place in a hospital if they require, whilst ensuring the health and patient safety.

Identify and assess dependency, through interviews with the patient and those close to him, to develop an appropriate treatment plan for each person.

Control and monitoring of the patient withdrawal as a first stage in which its resources are not developed, along with a growing awareness of his illness, the consequences of it and their desire for change.

Immersion treatment, familiar with the treatment model, therapeutic team and his teammates, while beginning to identify and replace the habits acquired during consumption.

• In the Ruin

Now the addict must consume more to prevent the growing feelings and negative moods deepen their awareness and to try to maintain the positive effects that are becoming smaller. Is developing tolerance and not have to consume for pleasure or relief but to avoid the discomfort associated with withdrawal syndrome. Physical dependence created chemically by the action of the substance on the nervous system has captured the individual. Psychologically, the coping strategy developed so far still safe thus, far from solved problems are further amplified.

• Imprisoned

Over time, the addict reaches a state of despair as they relate to the addictive substance or activity, ignoring everything else. Behaves increasingly impulsive and uncontrolled prisoner of addiction. This stage of the addictive relationship is a descent into despair and personal destruction. The drug subservience to the truce and not allow the spiral tends to perpetuate itself, unless something happens that stops. The return, however there is, even a too hard and difficult process.

We can develop a program of “behavior therapy” adapted to our own needs, based on what we know about the motives that drive us to the addiction and the factors that trigger it. Such analysis requires an examination of conscience to discover the points on which we stumble, Total honesty towards ourselves to see these situations that frighten us.

PROCESS OF REHABILITATION

Because of his addiction to psychotropic drugs, the addict can no longer cope with the different options available to him.
It is developing its ability to choose what is essentially the process of rehabilitation.

The rehabilitation process requires that the addict:
* Is opposite habits of consumption (depending on the drug in his life).
* Identify what is important to him and clarify his motivation to undertake a process of change.
* Choose how to act on its habits in light of its values.
* Act on the spheres of life that are sources of frustration and failure.
* Onsider and evaluate its actions.

We must ensure:
* Monitor, maintain, enhance motivation for change and fidelity to commitments.
* Deepening awareness
* Overcoming the initial period, but a temporary withdrawal to break the link maintains the state of dependency.
* Learning to use the personal activation as a means to overcome his loneliness and depression.
* Planning an effective program of action
* Leisure successful
* Enriching social activities
* Harmonious family life
* Job well done
* A balanced budget
* Active spiritual life
* Positive discipline
* Stay sober
* Do not drink alcohol or consume any drugs for any reason.
* Get rid of all your drugs (and the paraphernalia of consumption)
* Avoid people, places and things you associate with consumption
* Do not stay too long, hungry, aggressive, alone or tired
* Preexisting no idea of consumption,
* Refused to THINK!

Make your abstinence is the most important thing in your life.

Detoxification means partial suspension of the drug that the addict is dependent, this is happening under controlled situations, often it is given a similar drug in order to reduce the dangers of abstinence.

Rehabilitation
Can be defined as the stage rehabilitation after detoxification. There are different therapies: individual, group or family. Typically these processes are prolonged for more than a month. There are also alternative treatments for those individuals who do not sympathize with inpatient treatment.

The Depression
In the event that there are disturbances in mood of drug addicts, such as depression, you should be careful because the risks are significant.

Those who offered drug treatment in the past discouraged the use of antidepressant medication, argumentantazo was not the right technique, that recourse was usually back to the substance. In short, we can state that the abuse of certain drugs arises from the need to self-treat mental illness. Vale clarify that abuse and dependence on a chemical can be fatal. Relapse after abstinence leads to a new addition.

Recommendations
The cases seek medical care are distinguished by certain examples we have detailed above. The important thing is to ask at the right time for an appointment with a doctor and discontinue forthwith the substance the addict; from this action pass to be clear about all the dangers of abstinence.
