What is Drug Addiction

• Drug addiction is more than a desire or craving
  for a substance, yet the addiction may start out
  as such. A drug addiction is when the user has no
  control over the decision to consume the drug or
  substance. No matter how much an addict will try,
  he or she will be unable to beat the addiction
  alone. Drug addiction is a complex disease which
  effects the brain and causes harm to the body as
  well.

• The Behavioral Health Barometer of Colorado found
  that from 2009 to 2013, around 117,000 Colorado
  residents 12 years of age and older per year,
  depended on or abused illicit drugs. Drug
  addiction is a complex disease. The user will
  continue to consume the harmful and
  brain-altering drugs despite knowledge of its
  damaging effects. Contrary to popular belief that
  drugs burn, fry and destroy the brain,
  consumption of drugs and illicit substances
  actually re-wires the brain.

Symptoms Of Drug Addiction

• Through drug addiction, the user not only loses
  control of decisions and harms their body through
  continued use, but the user will become unable to
  perform the simplest of tasks without the drug.
  This is the point of addiction in which a person
  cannot fathom being in a social environment or
  completing any task unless the drug is present.
  At this point, like a bit to a horse, the drug
  now supercedes and governs the inner compass of
  the individual.

Drug Addiction treatment

• The National Institute on Drug Abuse NIDA
  found only 2.6 million people out of 23.5 million
  people aged 12 and older received treatment from
  a professional treatment facility. In this day
  and age there are several forms of treatment
  available for those struggling with drug
  addiction. The first step is making the decision
  to seek help. The next step is to find a
  treatment center that deals with the substance
  you or the loved one is addicted to and
  developing holistic treatment specific to the
  needs of the patient. Forms of treatment can
  include medication and therapy.

Inpatient Treatment Centers

• Inpatient treatment centers are a good option for
  those with severe addiction who are in need of
  supervision. Many find the battle of addiction is
  especially challenging the first few weeks
  following detoxification. An inpatient treatment
  facility will involve the patient staying at a
  facility and following a monitored schedule day
  to day. This way, the patient is not surrounded
  by addiction triggers all at once and can slowly
  adapt to coping with the transition. Patients
  will join in activities and therapy, some of
  which can include group therapy, art, yoga and
  meditation. Each facility will differ on what
  therapy is offered for inpatients. The important
  factor is that the center should create a safe
  and interactive environment which allows the
  patient to face the addiction and discover how to
  live with it.

Outpatient Treatment

• Outpatient treatment works for patients who can
  handle balancing home and work life with their
  recovery. Patients will continue their normal day
  to day schedule and stay in their own home as
  opposed to a treatment facility. The patient will
  still have involvement with a treatment program
  and attend therapy sessions frequently this form
  of treatment gives the patient more freedom as
  long as they can handle it. For the patients who
  go through outpatient treatment and relapse,
  inpatient treatment may be the better option.
