Modern society is faced with a huge problem, the name of which is drug addiction. Drug addiction is a misfortune not only for a person who abuses drugs, but for his entire family. It is often difficult for him, sometimes unbearable, to give up such a lifestyle and start treatment.
Instructions
Step 1
The main problem is the lack of trust in treatment. As a rule, in case of drug addiction, the method of dry detoxification is used, that is, a person is not prescribed any medication, he is isolated and not allowed to use any drugs. A breakdown occurs, each cell of the body requires a new dose. This is accompanied by hellish and unbearable pain. The essence of treatment is to reinforce aversion to drugs on a psychological level. However, after the lapse of time, a second wave of withdrawal occurs, before which drug addicts cannot resist, and they begin to use again. Therefore, a person should be convinced that there are alternative methods of obtaining a state of euphoria - this is both sports and extreme recreation.
Step 2
When talking to a drug addict, remember that a person does not belong to himself, his brain is clouded with various stimulants. Try to avoid scandalous and emotional scenes - this will not benefit you or him. Do not try to explain anything to him in the heat of aggression and despair.
Step 3
Follow him, cold-bloodedly writing down all his ridiculous actions, so that later, in fact, provide evidence and reasons why he needs to seek qualified medical help. As a rule, such people consider themselves to be absolutely healthy and capable of quitting drugs at any time. By appealing with your observations, perhaps you will have a chance to reach out to his consciousness.
Step 4
The next step towards healing can be a conversation with a former drug addict. He can tell your friend or loved one how awful it is to live in a state of drug addiction and how wonderful a world without drugs is.
Step 5
Prophylactic conversations can also have a positive effect on him, especially if he is being spoken to by someone he respects and values. Each time you need to emphasize that the consequences of drug addiction are destructive and irreversible, that you think exclusively about him, worry about his physical and mental health, you want to help sincerely.
Step 6
Explain to the person that you will not leave him in difficult times, that you will walk this thorny path side by side, you will change and improve with him.
