Both physical and psychological addictions require help from a men’s drug rehab center. Since addiction is a chronic, incurable condition, a men’s drug rehab center can provide you with the support, guidance, and tools you need to recover successfully. Addiction doesn’t discriminate. Anyone, regardless of age, race, or gender, can develop a substance abuse disorder, addiction, or alcoholism. All psychoactive substances, including alcohol and prescription medications, are neurotransmitter inhibitors and carry the risk of addiction. There are two main types of addiction: physical and psychological. Psychological addictions are also called behavioral addictions. The main difference between physical and psychological addiction is that physical dependency causes you to deal with painful withdrawal symptoms if you stop using it.
Addiction is a mental health disease that changes your thinking patterns, judgment, and behavior. During the stages of addiction, your brain becomes dependent on your substance of choice in order to release neurotransmitters. Eventually, your brain becomes incapable of releasing neurotransmitters when you don’t use your substance of choice. Since your brain associates your substance of choice, as well as people, places, and things that remind you of the substance, with pleasure, your pleasure and reward center positively reinforces your drug and alcohol use. When intoxication wears off, you also experience a significant depletion of neurotransmitters that can lead to intense cravings that make it difficult to quit using. Substance abuse disorders and addiction can also cause:
When you enter into the late stages of addiction, your tolerance continues to build, forcing you to increase your use so you can keep experiencing intoxication constantly. Ultimately, you may have to use your drug of choice solely to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
An inpatient or outpatient men’s drug rehab center provides you with the evidence-based and holistic therapies necessary to navigate recovery. During treatment, you will learn how to identify and cope with stressors, triggers, and cravings. Since it takes time for your brain to heal after addiction, it’s important to understand how to protect yourself against relapse. Major life changes and negative emotions are a part of life, meaning that treatment teaches you how to cope with these things without resorting to drugs and alcohol. A men’s drug rehab center can also offer long-term residential programs, medically supervised detox services, and family counseling. Because addiction is a family disease, it’s important that your loved ones also receive help during your recovery.
Battling a substance abuse disorder can be trying, exhausting, and difficult without help. When you become addicted to drugs or alcohol, your brain chemistry changes, making it harder and harder to stop using. Even if you want to quit, addiction makes it difficult to do so without help from a men’s drug rehab center. If you are ready to start your recovery journey today, call us at 1.713.528.3709.
