Addiction to drugs is a result of an individual developing a strange dependency on a prescription or non-prescription drug in order to relieve pain after an accident or injury. Usually, most pain killers result in a kind of habit forming.

In this case, the individual craves for the drug. Drug addiction can also occur when an individual chooses to abuse his or her body via taking illegal drugs. Addiction to any type of drug is a serious matter.

One may require to adopt more than one way to overcome an addiction. Some may be lucky to overcome this addiction but some fail to remain clean for a long time. Relapses have become common under these cases.

It is true that most patients are able to complete a detox program successfully & eliminate the foreign substances from their body but the emotional distress that resulted in using the drug initially may still exist. This is the reason that some people continue using drug to escape their pain.

These days, rehab centers are providing ongoing support to drug abuses as soon as they leave a program.

Former patients are advised to attend therapy sessions that serve as a support group. One-on-one counseling is also provided widely these days in order to help drug abuses to cope with their trials.

The symptoms related to drug addiction cannot be defeated easily. Some drug addicts show clear signs of addiction. However, others are capable to hide their addiction really well. It may easily take about weeks or even months prior to anyone get a clue about the problem. A drug abuser is moody & can be quite irritable. He or she can even exhibit signs of depression or bipolar.

Another common sign of addiction to drug may be stealing or borrowing moneys for buying drugs, sleeping & even an overall change in behavior. People try to stop using drug without going for a treatment. This is not effective. Some are able to come out of this addiction but a relapse is often indicated. The best way to get rid of drug addiction is to get professional treatment.

In order to find symptoms of drug addiction, you need to look for intense cravings for a particular drug.

Over the years most psychologists, counselors, and addiction specialists have deemed addiction to be a disease. However, there is no pathological test that can be administered to diagnose addiction. Therefore, addiction can not and should not be categorized as a disease. So, if addiction is not a disease, what exactly is it? In my opinion, it should be classified as a behavior and moreover a choice! Now, most individuals who have experienced the painful ramifications of habitual behavior are not under any false pretence concerning the definition of addiction, although some are in denial of it. However, what about individuals who abuse substances and compulsions without experiencing the destruction of their livelihood, finances, or family life? Do these individuals have an addiction? Addiction is a behavior, and as with any type of defined behavior there exists varying degrees of severity. As an example, some individuals can drink alcohol in moderation without using it to hide their emotional pain or allowing it to destroy their family, finances, or health. So where is the cut-off point? When is it an addiction, and when is it not? To assist you with that distinction, I have compiled the following questionnaire.

 

Do you have an addiction? Evaluate your current behavior by answering the following yes or no questions. (If the answer to each sentence is yes give yourself 1 point)

 

O Do you lose time from work due to your habitual behavior?

 

O Is your behavior making your home life unhappy?

 

O  Do you abuse substances because you are shy with other people?

 

O Is your behavior affecting your reputation?

 

O Have you ever felt remorse after abusing substances or compulsions?

 

O Have you had financial difficulties as a result of your behavior?

 

O Does your behavior make you careless of your family’s welfare?

 

O Do you turn to inferior environments when abusing substances?

 

O Has your ambition decreased because of your behavior?

 

O Do you crave substances at a definite time daily?

 

O Does your behavior cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?

 

O Has your efficiency decreased because of your behavior?

 

O Is your behavior jeopardizing your job or business?

 

O Do you abuse substances or compulsions to escape from worries or trouble?

 

O Have you ever had a loss of memory as a result of your behavior?

 

O Do you abuse substances or compulsions to build up your self-confidence?

 

O Do you ever feel bad about your behavior?

 

O Do you feel that your behavior is problematic?

 

O Do you hide some of your habitual behaviors from others?

 

O Do you feel controlled by your habitual behavior?

 

 What was your over all score?

 

Jot down below the top 5 things that jumped out at you from completing the evaluator? How will you change them?

 

1.

 

2.

 

3.

 

4.

 

5.

 

Using your total point score reference the chart below to determine if you have an addiction and/or what stage it is in.

 

Addiction points

 

 

 

0 – Addiction freedom

 

5-10 – You may be approaching co-dependency

 

10-20 – Highly probable that you have an addiction

 

Addiction Freedom

 

Bravo! Your have a life filled with happiness and no habitual behavior!

 

Approaching co-dependency

 

Your behavior has the potential to reach a level of addiction, but you need a positive direction and bit of action to guide you toward a positive lifestyle.

 

Probable addiction

 

You are likely in the mists of addiction crisis, or could be headed for one soon! You may require an immediate, addiction freedom, action plan!
