Addiction Treatment Programs

Every year, millions of Americans struggle with some type of substance use disorder or chemical dependency. Substance abuse disorder occurs when individuals are unable to regulate their intake of drugs or alcohol. Ultimately, such substance abuse can lead to chemical dependency because brain chemistry has been altered to a point where it requires the drug or alcohol to make the person feel normal. In this way, substance abuse disorder is a disease requiring professional treatment if the individual hopes to heal properly.

Unraveling Addiction

The power of alcohol and other types of substance use disorder is mystifying to people who have never experienced it firsthand. In fact, research has supported the disease concept, suggesting that persistent, sometimes permanent changes take place in certain receptor sites and neurotransmitter pathways in the chemically dependent brain. Centers of the brain responsible for memory, feelings, pleasure seeking, pain avoidance, and self-regulation are dramatically affected by chemical dependence.

Research shows that the longer and more intensive the treatment, the better the outcome tends to be. Our current goal in dealing with the disease of substance use disorder is to recognize it earlier.

Florida Rehab Programs Save Lives

In addition to the genetic and cultural factors that affect brain vulnerability, access to dependence-producing drugs influences a person’s likelihood of becoming addicted. Over time, people begin to view their drug of choice as a reliable, dependable friend. The pleasurable effects of the drugs are eventually followed by anxiety, depression, insomnia, lethargy, and cravings.

As a chemically dependent person’s thinking shifts toward relying on a chemical for satisfaction, users will strain family relationships. Eventually, work falls by the wayside. It is common for men to lose their social support system as they descend further into substance abuse. Sexual dysfunction is also common, but it is not permanent. Eventually, if physical maladies do not develop first, a chemically addicted person may decide to seek treatment—or be forced to by family members or loved ones.
