Searching for Freedom from Elmhurst, IL
The Lizzardo Museum of Lapidary Art makes its home in Elmhurt. The museum is filled with minerals that have existed for thousands of years. In a similar vein, people who struggle with addiction, like minerals, are the product of years of molding and struggle.
Addiction stems from a wide breadth of issues, but society plays a big role in shaping people. As such, people in the grips of addiction do not perpetuate it without other people.They need people to enable them within their habit, they need people to provide them with drugs. However, all this masks the reality that they need people. Period.
Addiction preys on isolation and trauma. People who struggle with these two things are more vulnerable to struggle with addiction. People in addiction need to find treatment that pairs them with other people going through a similar struggle in order to move beyond addiction and into happiness.
What Does Treatment Consist Of?
When somebody first goes to treatment, they will go through detox. Detox cleanses the body of all the harmful toxins they've let in their body throughout their addiction.This stage can take anywhere from four to 14 days. It all depends on the amount of time the user has spent in addiction, the type of drug used and the frequency.
After detox, the client will go through the therapeutic dimension of treatment. In this stage, the client will re-connect with people. They will connect with others going through the pains of recovery and learn to celebrate in the triumphs. Within this, the client will also meet with a therapist for one-on-one sessions in order to go over the underlying reasons for their addiction and learn new coping mechanisms. It is also a great way for the client to learn about any co-occurring disorders they may have.
A lot of people who struggle with addiction have other mental health issues that often make their addiction worse. Learning how to deal with these issues will help the person stay sober after treatment. If you know someone in active addiction or if you are in addiction, consider traveling for treatment in order to get away from the people and situations that have perpetuated your addiction.
