Addiction may be a complex and chronic disease but it’s one that can be treated with effective recovery treatment. Some treatment options address addiction directly and provide coping mechanisms to help you deal with cravings and triggers without relapsing. In many cases, treatments are centered on helping you form relapse prevention strategies with which you can safeguard your sobriety. Other treatment can be focused on underlying issues that may contribute to or worsen a substance use disorder. Addiction treatment can also be split into two other categories: evidence-based treatments and alternative therapies. Treatment plans should be grounded in evidence-based studies, but there may a time and a place for alternative treatments in certain situations.

The main goal is to help people which effectively changes their life event. Drug and alcohol addiction rehab can address the brain issues to remove the need to self-medicate and prevent mental disorders from triggering an eventual relapse. The general intent is to enable the patient to confront substance dependence and cease substance abuse to avoid the psychological causes, especially by extreme abuse.

Though the addiction epidemic becomes direr every year, countless people get the help they need and achieve lasting sobriety. Addiction Counselling is an important role in most of the recovery programmes such as addictive disorders, mental health and behaviour disorders. This works by providing a confidential and safe surrounding where the addicts/affected person can share their experience which they went through. It usually takes in form of therapy between the addicts and the counsellor or therapist. It also takes place in a group where a group of recovering addicts will meet with one or more counsellor. This Addiction Counselling helps them to regain their strength, relearning old skills, or finding new and different ways of doing things.

Drug addiction is a complex neurobiological disease that affects a person's brain and behaviour and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication. It is considered as a brain disease because excessive use of drug changes the brain by increasing the dopamine secretion and it induces the brain signals. Without proper treatment, these brain changes can affect the lives.

The proper medication for addiction helps the process easier by easing the cravings and side effects. It can also be treated with inpatient treatment plus a comprehensive aftercare program where drug addicts can find lasting relief from the ravages of chemical dependency, regardless of how long they’ve been addicted.

Addiction Pharmacology makes the recovery process easier by easing the side effects and cravings associated with withdrawal. The pharmacology of most addictive substances is being studied extensively, not just for acute effects but also the mechanisms that lead to drug seeking and addiction. Some people continue to take medicine which leads to side effects and causes addiction. When the drugs are consumed more these drugs can have serious side effects, including physical dependence and tolerance. Ironically, the opiate addiction is treated having some addictive properties Many pharmacological agents began to explore the efficacy of existing alcohol treatments, and several medications are currently being used in alcohol rehabilitation and more new medications to help treat alcoholism have been developed. Science has produced a new anti-addiction IM medication for the treatment of alcohol dependence which is called VivitrolTM, injected version of naltrexone which is also recently approved by FDA, thereby drastically reducing or completely stopping alcohol use for alcoholics receiving the medication and attending active treatment programs.

Dual Diagnosis typically refers to an individual person with a mental disorder, co-occurring developmental disability and substance abuse disorder. People suffering from a mental health illness may turn to alcohol or alternative drugs to come out of that depression. The fields of mental health and drug use recovery have different cultures where integrated care can be challenging. One of the things that make dual diagnoses so difficult to treat is that it is hard to know where certain symptoms are coming from an integrated intervention the best treatment for dual diagnosis where a person receives care for both their diagnosed mental illness. The causes for dual diagnosis is difficult to approach as they can be caused in any way which affects their mental ability and it is difficult to identify as the studies apply differing criteria in defining developmental disabilities and their mental illness.

Neurotoxicity damages the brain and the peripheral nervous system, which is exposure to natural or man-made toxic substances. These toxins affect the neurons and alter the activity of the nervous system. When an individual consumed addictive substance, the body responds to the substance by influencing neurotransmitter that affects the cellular membrane integrity. The treatment approach to neurotoxicity is only by eliminating or reducing the toxic substance by providing therapy to relieve symptoms or by providing support.

Addiction is a chronic disease that affects the brain in complex ways that contribute to compulsive and uncontrollable use. Unfortunately, the media’s portrayals of addiction often show characters going through detox and then never having much of an issue with addiction again. You may have to deal with cravings and triggers for years after your last dose. It’s not just a matter of biology, there are a variety of factors that contribute to addiction. During active addiction, your brain has learned to seek drugs to relieve stress, pain, anxiety, and just to feel good. Even when you know that a drug can be harmful, it’s incredibly difficult to resist. Alcohol and drug addiction therapy can help you re-write the effects of drugs in your brain, learn to cope with negative feelings, and learn to avoid and deal with cravings. Drugs interact with body and brain to alter emotions, behaviours and moods by changing brain chemistry and a person’s perceptions.

Central Nervous System consists of the brain and spinal cord which is affected by some neurological conditions that are associated with substance use disorders. The CNS gets slow down or speed up by the mind-altering drugs and the drugs also affects the autonomic functions necessary for living, such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and respiration. The brain’s neurotransmitters or chemical messengers get affect by addictive substance. From a neurological point of view, addictive scatters emerge when a drug changes the way the individual’s cerebrum feels the pleasure of drugs. The addictive drugs anticipate the nerves in the mind by secreting dopamine a joy chemical which affects their CNS normal function.
