1) There must be adequate mental preparation and a strong will. For drug addicts, quitting drugs is a painful and arduous process, but it is the only choice. The saying "it's easy to take drugs but hard to quit" is determined by the physiological and psychological dependence characteristics of drugs. Physiological dependence refers to the fact that drugs strongly stimulate the central nervous system, causing comprehensive biochemical disorder in the human body. Through repeated use of drugs, the human body forms a new balance on the basis of this disorder. If the drugs are suddenly stopped, the new balance is broken, resulting in new disorders, leading to a series of serious physical discomforts and damages, namely withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms are extremely painful and difficult to endure, and may even endanger life. As for psychological dependence, it is incomprehensible to ordinary people and difficult for addicts to give up. Therefore, from the current situation in various countries around the world, there is no magic pill for quitting drugs. To succeed in quitting drugs, apart from external coercion, those who want to quit must make a firm determination and endure hardship.
2) Go to regular detoxification institutions for treatment instead of attempting to quit on your own. Detoxification is a complex systematic project. You can't expect miracles or believe in folk remedies, itinerant doctors, or so-called detoxification drugs. Otherwise, not only will you waste time and money, but accidents may also occur. Some drug users, in order to avoid others knowing and damaging their personal reputation, try to quit on their own or with the help of family members. This is very dangerous because the withdrawal reactions during detoxification may trigger various complications. Without medical rescue conditions at home, accidents may occur, and even life-threatening situations. Therefore, for drug users, they should go to voluntary detoxification institutions run by health departments or the voluntary detoxification department of compulsory detoxification centers run by public security organs for detoxification treatment. These places have necessary medical facilities and strictly trained medical staff with treatment experience, including doctors, nurses, inspectors, and managers. Their examination, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, care, observation, as well as drug management, safety measures, daily life arrangements, etc., all have a complete set of strict management systems and tight organizational discipline. Such detoxification institutions manage extremely strictly and treat very safely.
4) Auxiliary treatment, alleviating symptoms. During the detoxification period, withdrawal symptoms are often unbearable. To help detoxification personnel get through this difficult time, medical staff can adopt corresponding symptomatic auxiliary treatment measures according to individual conditions. For example, appropriately select some non-narcotic analgesics, give antiemetic drugs for severe vomiting, use *** for severe insomnia, choose anti-anxiety drugs for anxiety, and use intestinal lubrication and laxative drugs for constipation. In addition, many detoxification personnel suffer from various chronic diseases. After withdrawal, their bodies become extremely weak, exposing latent or existing diseases. Their bodies lack resistance, and symptomatic treatment is particularly needed at this time.
5) Reasonable diet, strengthening nutrition. Long-term drug users have disordered gastrointestinal function, mostly showing indigestion and malnutrition absorption. Their physical condition is very weak, and their disease resistance is low. Especially for some protracted symptoms in the later stage of withdrawal, although certain drugs can be used, they often have little effect or are not suitable for long-term use. The key lies in improving nutrition and strengthening physical exercise to restore physical strength as soon as possible. Therefore, in detoxification treatment, the dietary nutrition, rest system, and activity arrangements of detoxification personnel must comply with the scientific and reasonable arrangements of the doctor.
