How must drug addicts quit drugs? They must make a firm decision. Why do people take drugs? Most of them are deceived and become addicted without fully understanding the consequences, and then they can't quit and suffer greatly from it. So how should one quit drugs? Experts say that the key to quitting drugs lies with the individual.
Immediate cessation of drug use and acceptance of necessary treatment and rehabilitation measures are required. Family members should send the addict to a regular detoxification institution recognized and approved by the health administration department as soon as possible. Do not believe unscientific propaganda obtained through hearsay, such as "seven-generation inherited detox secret recipe", "cure addiction in a few days", "guaranteed cure for psychological addiction", etc. For those who repeatedly relapse, continue using drugs or have illegal and disciplinary violations, the public security department may enforce mandatory detoxification.
To prevent relapse, one must eliminate the threat of relapse early on. The reasons for relapse are varied, and can be summarized as psychological factors, physiological factors, and social factors. Among these, strong psychological addiction, passing boring time, relieving irritability, and taking drugs one last time are the main psychological factors leading to relapse.
After physical detoxification, the residual protracted withdrawal syndrome makes the detoxifier feel physically uncomfortable, such as insomnia and fatigue, which are the physiological factors leading to relapse. Being tempted by the drug-using environment, lured or persuaded by drug-using friends are the main social factors causing relapse. The relapse rate of heroin dependents is very high, and various methods of psychological intervention have limited effects. Therefore, we should adopt different intervention strategies based on the clinical characteristics of dependents in order to improve the effectiveness of intervention work.
Warm reminder: Regarding the issue of how to quit drugs, apart from personal determination, the help of family members is also indispensable. Therefore, family members, relatives, leaders, and colleagues should help them understand the harmfulness and severity of drug use.
