The Phases and Complexities of Addiction

Addiction is a chronic disease that typically progresses through predictable phases, each requiring targeted treatment strategies. Learning to identify the phase of addiction can help guide appropriate interventions for lasting recovery.

The Early Phase

The early phase of addiction is marked by increased substance tolerance, memory blackouts, and preoccupation with using. Warning signs emerge such as cravings, deception about use, and avoiding conversations about it. Treatment should focus on raising insight into unhealthy behaviors and recognizing the harm they cause. Skills training in areas like emotional regulation and refusing substances can help in early recovery.

The Early Phase

As addiction advances into its middle phase, a loss of control around using often occurs. The individual frequently thinks about using, requiring more of the substance to get high. Justifying addictive behaviors and making excuses are common. Risky actions like driving intoxicated may happen more frequently. Treatment focuses on acknowledging the addiction, developing accountability, and learning to anticipate high-risk situations.

The Chronic Phase

In the chronic phase, addiction manifests with severe life consequences. Physical and mental health deteriorate, and social supports and relationships crumble. Financial and legal troubles often ensue. Treatment requires intensive therapies to manage withdrawal, medical stabilization, supervised detox, and co-occurring disorder treatment. Long-term care focuses on maintaining sobriety and developing a substance-free lifestyle.

Seeking Help in Any Phase

The key is to seek comprehensive treatment tailored to one’s phase of addiction, whether early, middle or chronic. Programs should address medical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of addiction. Therapies like CBT, 12-step principles, mindfulness practices and holistic activities promote whole-person healing. With personalized care and commitment, lasting recovery is possible, no matter what phase addiction has progressed to.

Pre-Rehab

Motivating a person to come into treatment is many times carried out by the experiential counselors with us by traveling to their countries or places of residence , staying near them, meeting them when they are sober , motivating them to come into residential treatment . The Counselor is like a constant mirror to what one is doing with one’s life by using. He is also a beacon of inspiration that shows that if he can do it so can I.

Detoxification On admission

-A clinical examination and physical evaluation is done by the physician .

– Biochemical investigations along with any additional investigations are done to ascertain physical damage caused by the substance.

-Psychological and psychiatric evaluation is done by the team psychiatrist. Medications are given to tide over the withdrawals that can arise from stopping the substance.

The duration of detoxification can vary from a week to 10 days or more depending on the number and type of substances and the withdrawals of the same.

Meditation

The mind of a person suffering from chemical dependency is like a roller coaster of emotions and in a frenzy and speed that seems unbearable. Meditations in this situation takes one beyond the play of the mind and the debilities of the body to a state of relaxation and awareness. The techniques involved facilitates one to be aware of some action in the body to remain in the present moment, thus slipping out of the vortex of the mind’s rewind and fast forward mode. This slows down the thought processes and the gaps induce intense relaxation. The techniques practiced, shuts down the chatter of the conscious mind, allowing the subconscious to surface bringing and releasing suppressed and repressed emotions thus being cathartic and psychotherapeutic . Counseling following this facilitates resolution of emotional issues. Hence, different types of meditations are introduced in a client’s life.

Counselling

Counseling happens in an accepting, non – judgmental , compassionate, comfortable environment.

The counselling team comprise of professional and trained experiential counselors who live with the client and are hence available to them 24/7

The techniques of counseling practised are very eclectic , Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy being a core.

Introspective Journalling

The technique followed ensures that the identification with the personality formed after using is broken. A detachment develops from painful emotions and the incidents they are attached to. Thus the past is dealt with and the tools for the future are imbibed. Writing takes them to a point of self realization, that enables them to live life in a productive manner. Introspective journalling is thus aimed at developing a detachment of emotions from experiences that have been perceived to be unpleasant or painful thereby dealing with them realsitically. The magnified image of life projected by the addictive mind is broken, responsibility assumed of one’s life and tools learnt to deal with various life challenges.

Integrated Holistic Therapies

Hypnotic regression therapy is facilitated to increase access to the memories that have been blocked by the conscious mind and also bring to the fore suppressed and repressed incidents that one did not want to deal with but have to during the regression. There has been undoubted change in the inernal mileu of every client at Anatta who has undergone this therapy.

Yoga , Breath work , Homoeopathy, energy healing etc are all incorporated according to what is needed for the holistic development of the client.

Sharing Sessions

Sharing is based on self -disclosure of the counselors to make the client comfortable, accepted, and the individual identifies with one’s own life experiences and learns to deal with them. These are usually impromptu and can last for as long as it takes.
