What is addiction?

How do I know if someone is using or is addicted to drugs, and how can I find help?
Addiction is universal because it is a behavioural adaptation to pleasurable activities. It is however a problem when there is a habitual, repetitive urges to engage in harmful activities regardless of the awareness of their impact. The signs of drug use and addiction can vary depending on the person and the drug, but some common signs are:

  • impaired speech and motor coordination
  • bloodshot eyes or pupils that are larger or smaller than usual
  • changes in physical appearance or personal hygiene
  • changes in appetite or sleep patterns
  • sudden weight loss or weight gain
  • unusual smells on breath, body, or clothing
  • changes in mood or disinterest in engaging in relationships or activities

At Lifeway House we provide professional rehabilitative services that considers individual differences regarding the psychosocial; profiles, the experiences on the drug abused, the triggers of relapse and other comorbid presentations. We are dedicated to providing lasting recovery from your addiction.

Do I need rehab?
While there is more than one correct answer, it may be beneficial to consider several factors when making a decision to enter treatment. Begin by considering one’s pattern of use including, but not limited to:

  • Frequency
  • Amount of intake
  • Intent of use
  • Impact on relationships
  • Consequences
  • Attempts to stop

How long does rehab take?
The type of treatment program and length of time needed to successfully complete a program will accurately reflect what an individual needs from a treatment program. Patients coming into a treatment facility ought to keep in mind that it takes a certain period to go through the process of understanding their own addiction and taking the necessary actions to overcome it and these may vary per individual. Participation in a recovery program presents an opportunity to dramatically improve a declining situation.
What about withdrawal? How long does it last?

Withdrawal describes the various symptoms that occur after a person abruptly reduces or stops long-term use of a drug. Length of withdrawal and symptoms vary with the type of drug. In many cases, withdrawal can easily be treated with medications to ease the symptoms, but treating withdrawal is not the same as treating addiction.
