Why Is So Difficult to Stop Using?

There are many reasons why it’s very difficult for substance abusers to stop using. One of the most overlooked and misunderstood is the disease of addiction and how addiction changes the wiring of the brain to promote even more substance abuse. Many families and friends of addicts don’t understand this. They believe addiction is a lack of willpower. The brain actually changes a person’s will power, weakening it to get the person to use even more. The brain makes substance abuse the top priority, over eating, sleeping and other family and job responsibilities.

Also contributing to the vicious cycle of addiction is the social aspect of addiction. Especially with regard to alcoholism. Social relationships are a big part of using alcohol and when people detox from alcoholism, they need the group support in treatment.

Medical professionals can also help you stop using. When you go to a treatment center for detox, as opposed to self-detoxing, you get the benefit of a full medical staff, and doctors to monitor your withdrawals, and prescribe treatments and medications if they become too severe or painful.

The conditions you face, your job, your family, your friends and the areas where you hang out may all be adding to your temptations to abuse drugs or alcohol. If this is the case, consider traveling for treatment. Traveling for treatment to another city or state can remove you from these conditions so you can focus on your rehab.
