Drug Addiction
Millions of Americans struggle with addiction every year. However, due to outside stigmas or fears of judgment, they may feel unable to pursue the help they need.
At Promising Outlook, we recognize addiction is a mental illness — not a “moral shortcoming” or a “personal failing.” We understand substance abuse affects the brain and inhibits your ability to stop using or thinking about drugs, leaving you trapped in a vicious cycle outside your control.
We provide outpatient drug rehab programs designed for sustainable results. Our licensed and insured specialists help you pursue hope and healing from substance abuse with targeted treatments encompassed by science-backed modalities.
Give us a call today to get connected with a specialist in minutes.
Understanding substance abuse and drug addiction
Substance abuse is medically defined as the use and dependence on drugs. These drugs may be illicit or found over the counter, and may be introduced to the patient through peers, family members, or a prescription from their general practitioner.
Some patients may rely on substance abuse to alleviate mental, emotional, or physical pain. Repeated abuse leads to drug addiction, which is the inability to stop using drugs due to feelings of dependence.
Many habit-forming drugs lead to feelings of addiction within two uses or fewer. You may want to stop taking drugs and even avoid taking additional substances but experience powerful feelings of withdrawal and compulsion that can be dangerous to your mind and body.
Some of the most common substances involved in drug addictions include:
- Opioids or opiates
- Heroin or diacetylmorphine
- Methamphetamine
- Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants
- Stimulants and amphetamines
If you’re experiencing the symptoms of drug addiction and feel trapped in a vicious cycle, know that you’re not alone. Substance abuse is a disease that requires professional treatment — including the intensive outpatient care programs provided in person and online by Promising Outlook.
When to seek help for drug addiction or substance abuse
It’s critical for those battling drug addiction to seek professional help as soon as possible. However, it may not always be obvious whether you or a loved one are struggling with substance abuse.
Some of the most telling signs of drug addiction include:
- An inability to say no to drugs, even if you no longer want to use them
- Difficulty completing tasks at home or work due to fixation of drugs
- Damaged relationships with friends, loved ones, and family members
- Strong feelings of withdrawal when attempting to quit, including nausea, dizziness, or, more seriously, seizures or hallucinations
If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you may want to seek professional services right away.
