Drug Rehabilitation Treatment Programs

What keeps this addiction feeding on itself at the best addiction treatment center in Karachi is that the euphoric feelings accompanying its use tend to make you feel that you are more functional than you were in a drug-free existence. For this reason, many people are addicted to meth and search for methamphetamine drug rehabilitation, believing they could never live without it. Unfortunately, some too many doctors will diagnose these people with latent ADD-ADHD or bi-polar depression and will give their patients more justification to continue its use or an alternative with prescription amphetamines, the Sadaqat Clinic Karachi, Ritalin, or other legal speed.

The only solution is to get yourself back to a baseline of normal physiology and to think so that you can determine for yourself that these dysfunctional feelings that you now have when off of meth are the consequences of your drug use and not an indicator that you need some stimulant to function and think usually.

Once the drug is out of your body, the normal metabolism will resume quickly. However, suppose you attend a Disease Model program, such as the 12-step model (where they say that addiction is a chronic and progressive disease and you do not get the drug out of your fat tissue). In that case, you will feel that you have an illness that keeps you from normal feelings and functions.

All abused drugs are poison to the body; anyone that has used these “poisons” for a few months to years is as toxic as they would be if they had been exposed to a chemical spill. Ironically, many users will become vegetarians and limit their intake of pesticides by eating organic foods while still consuming drugs. Our drug prevention system has failed to educate the public on these facts, and instead, many users will defend their use of drugs as a necessary part of modern life and a product of sound medical science. Ineffective treatment programs that do not address this physical component will never be able to restore their graduates to a level of functioning that they were capable of having before drugs entered their lives.

In investigating the successful outcomes of treatment with programs that subscribe to the disease model versus those that use the biophysical approach, one finds that even stellar disease model programs are fortunate if they get 10% of their graduates living free of drug use for a sustained period of months and years compared to approximately 70% success rate for biophysical drug rehab programs. This disease treatment model does not enhance self-determinism and strength but fosters a weaker position that will lead you to be reasonable with your continued use under the guise of being overtaken by the disease. Rather than logically confront this problem, advocates of the disease model changed the definition of success to include periodic relapses and redefined the illness as a “disease of relapse.” In other words, it is only natural that people with this disease struggle to stay clean for the rest of their lives. It is often compared to the person with diabetes, who sometimes have blood sugar problems and need to stabilize their diet and medications. Rather than discover the fundamental basis of addiction and create a rehabilitation program that will cause undue the causes, the disease model advocates have never questioned their original premise but instead continue to describe their failures and make those behaviors of their struggling graduates part of the description of the disease.

Choosing a treatment program is one of your most important decisions. If you go from having the delusion of drug use to having a deluded idea about its cure, you have dramatically limited your future. Educate yourself by good investigating the available programs. Not that you need to talk to all 11,000 or so programs in America, but become familiar with the different approaches and go to a treatment center with the highest outcomes that make sense to you. Some people attack successful programs on the Internet and try to play on your fears of treatment. Don’t be influenced by these lies.

Addiction treatment is a relatively new field, and many are “addicted” to certain forms of treatment that do not pass the muster of common sense and can lead you down a road that is not freeing; instead, demanding compulsive adherence to principles that are not based on truth. Just look at the outcomes and speak to as many graduates and experts as you need to ensure that you can make an educated decision. It takes courage to confront one’s addiction and imagine living a drug-free life and believing that you can do well or even better without having something to help you escape reality. Don’t be led astray by advertising and doing a program that worked for your cousin, do what you know is effective and dare to do whatever it takes to reclaim your life.
