India in particular is heavily affected by the addiction to drugs and alcohol. The ones who are affected by it are not only suffering, the families of the individual do also suffer. For this reason, it is always suggested that not only the person who is addicted should undergo psychiatric therapy, but the ones who are somehow getting affected should also take therapy from the psychiatrist in Ludhiana. Because in most cases, we have found out that the wives, daughters and mothers undergo a huge mental pressure if their husbands, fathers and sons are going through a difficult phase of addiction.
- Can psychiatrists help in dealing with it?
Psychiatrists are known for treating addiction patients. Even in the rehab centres, the availability of even one psychiatrist will surely be there. The psychiatrist can help in treating the addiction by taking into account the following measures:
- What is bothering the patient?
First of all, everybody should know that if an individual is addicted to drugs or alcohol, then something inside him is bothering him. As with the case of Suresh, who approached Manas hospital for the treatment of his addiction. In the initial consultation, he told us that he loves his wife so much but she is having an extramarital affair and the thought of losing her is disturbing him. So when he drinks he forgets about the worries.
With this, we have gotten sure that the treatment of the patient can only be done if we know the root cause of why he drinks.
- Detox treatment
This is the most difficult of all the treatments since the patients have to leave the alcohol or drugs all of the sudden. When it is done, then the body of the patient is difficult to deal with and it results in tremors, seizures and hallucinations.
With the individualised plan of the treatment and the support of the family members, the patients can be made to rehabilitate from the addiction.
- Love of family
In this difficult journey of addiction, the patient needs the love and support of the family. Most of the family members do not support the patient and end up making them leave the house. But it is necessary to understand that the condition of the patient, in this case, becomes even worse. Earlier he used to be a drug addict but now he would become a thief since he needs money to buy drugs or alcohol.
- Medicines
It is critical to understand here that no medicine on the earth can make you come out of the menace of the addiction. But yes, some medications can help you when you are getting recovered. There are medications that after intaking you will feel displeased with alcohol or there are other medicines that prevent you to get high after consuming the drugs or alcohol. But yes, the dosage of the medicines should only be intaken as per the instructions and prescriptions of the psychiatrist.
