What Belief Hinders Treatment in Addiction?

A patient of addiction who has been brought to a de-addiction hospital already should have the belief that it is a disease: for what other reason does one go to a hospital for?

However, this is not the case for almost any family that brings their patient. The family, as well as the patient, believe that it is a habit that has been picked up due to staying around bad company. 

This is a belief that is not true. The proof is scientific: Genes. This illness shows itself throughout the family tree of patients. Ofcourse, it remains undetected if the addiction is not of substance and is of work, exercise, food, money or power. In such a household, the other member of the family who perhaps doesn’t have addiction genes in the family, also becomes ill. That is why this illness is called shadow illness. 

The scientific term for that illness is: codependency. It is to be so focussed on the addict that one forgets to take care of oneself. The co-dependent also has no skills to manage the addict. They either provoke or enable, both of which lead to further abuse.what is behind such happenings?

It is the Misbelief that this is not an Illness

Addiction is a Chronic illness that is fatal if left untreated. It is also progressive, it gets worse as time goes. It is an illness exactly like cancer. It also has a time period before becoming something that is untreatable.

Families bring patients to the hospital. After a week of detoxification they feel that the patient has recovered. Then, against the doctor who has learnt how to cure this illness, they discharge from the hospital, only to end up back there, in jail or at the cremation ground. Full treatment is required and only then can one enter recovery. 

There is a belief that once we enter recovery, there will be no fun in life; no pleasure. However, When we enter recovery, we actually breathe real air for the first time in our lives. countless other recovering addicts will claim this.

Once we believe that it is a disease, a patient with symptoms needs treatment and we are not bad people, we get all the motivation to take better care of ourselves and our loved ones.

It’s very important to consult the de addiction centre in Punjab to diagnose the actual symptoms and its related health problem.
