What Makes Some People Drug Addicts and Not Others?

Some people have risk factors that contribute to addiction, while others have factors that protect them and lessen the risk of becoming addicted to substances. Genetics are a factor that contribute to addiction, which include mental health disorders. The use of substances at a young age also increases the chances of that person becoming addicted later in life. The manner in which drugs are ingested also has an effect on the potential for addiction. Smoking and injecting put drugs into the system rapidly, but they wear off fast, which can lead the user to do even more of the drugs. This repeated use can lead to the cycle of addiction.

Can I Overcome Addiction with a Support Group?

Many people enjoy the fruits of all that group meetings like AA have to offer. They can aid in a person's recovery, but group meetings along aren't considered treatment for addiction. It's much more effective for a substance abuser to enroll in a treatment facility where they are under medical care. Psychology and addiction specialists aren't always in attendance at group meetings, nor are doctors, and it isn't the proper forum to provide rehabilitation care to recovering addicts.

If you're considering admitting yourself in a treatment center, consider traveling to another city or state for your care. It's more effective when people get away from their environments and conditions that lead them to use substances. Traveling for treatment may also give you the opportunity to meditate or reflect on your therapy during your travel time.
