There is a thin line between drug and addiction abuse and addiction. Abuse being using the substance over the need of the person, for non recreational purposes. Constant abusing of the substance will lead to dependence on the same. The persons body gets so adapted to the drug that it reaches a state where it cannot function without the substance.
This stays true with alcohol or any other drug. Yes, the reaction to the substance can vary, but the process of healing and recovering stays the same. In a state of dependence and abuse, the person is usually and foremost in denial and goes through restlessness and lack of concentration, lack of coping with daily life and duties, added to the symptoms of the drug.
Along with the 12 steps of AA and NA, the counsellors and experts at Healtheminds use CBTM, which is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Mindfulness. In this therapy, along with the foundation of CBT, Mindfulness is incorporated. Mindfulness talks about the quality of being aware and being in the moment. Research has shown that acknowledging the thoughts and feelings that the person is having, improves the recovery of the person.
Mindfulness also incorporates meditation and breathing exercises to the existing process of cognitive and behavioural therapy. Getting out of addiction or even accepting the fact that one is addicted is extremely tough.
