Addiction Treatments

Treatments and Therapies > > Addiction Treatments

All around the world there are centers for addiction treatments. It was once something that people never spoke of. But now it seem that it is the new “thing” to do. Or perhaps it is because something that more and more people need that is not popular. Like smoking in the cool crowd at school.

Addiction treatments can be harsh to the one with the addiction. However an addiction did not start overnight it was something that the person picked up and ran with. The treatments to break addictions can be tough on not only the person that has an addiction but those that love them Usually the centers make the person go cold turkey, which means NOTHING. It is tough because the side affects of not “using” can be worse then many things. Take for example the alcoholic.

They enter the center with blood filled with the alcohol for many days of drinking before. But the first day they are brave and make it through, although come that night they shake, and the desire to drink is strong. It is the night that makes them start with the headaches, and body aches they never felt before. They are not thirsty for anything but alcohol and the start getting mad. They would do anything for one drink…just one. But still they are denied.

Then the dawn of the second day brings a chill, and more shakes, anger sets in and so too does the need to put something in their mouth. Candy is usually the item of choice. The following days are awful, they yell and sleep eludes them as the alcohol leaves their body and their organs struggle to get rid of the remaining traces. This is believed to be the best why for the addict to get off the alcohol. I am not sure that it is so good for the person that goes through it, but they seem to come out after the treatment and get on with their lives.
