Mental Aspects:
The addiction to prescription drugs or street drugs substantially impairs our rational thought process. At Delray’s addiction recover center you’ll study that we usually lie to ourselves and other people concerning the extent of our chemical abuse issue and minimize the destruction we’re doing to ourselves and others:
- We’re obsessed with using
- We have bad decision making
- We ignore the consequences
- We’re involved in reckless behavior, and
- We have feelings of apathy about our future.
Residing within a state of denial, you constantly recall the excitement of being high and don’t remember the disgust of the morning afterwards. We state phrases such as:
- “I am not so bad”
- “I could do it all on my own”
- “I do not really possess a problem”
Behavioral Aspects:
- We have bad impulse control,
- We wonder, “How did I end up here again?”
- We do things which get us into trouble,
- We use somebody else’s needle,
- We exhibit inappropriate behaviors involving sex,
- We end up upon the street,
- We end up homeless,
- We believe these behaviors are normal, and
- We isolate from others.
