The downside of narcotic euphoria is the state of abstinence, which is colloquially called the addict's breakdown.

The breakdown of a drug addict is very painful, and at such moments the drug is needed not for pleasure, but already as an anesthetic, because almost no one can endure the profitable state of withdrawal.

The withdrawal state of a drug addict occurs when a drug takes its place in the metabolism. Only an experienced narcologist can help a drug addict with withdrawal carefully and with a minimum of consequences, since it is possible to remove a withdrawal from a drug addict only if many conditions are met. It is imperative to monitor the patient's physical condition and think about the treatment of heroin addiction and, in general, take a comprehensive approach to the treatment of drug addiction.

Breakage in drug addicts: how it manifests itself, how long it takes, how to remove the scrap

Since there are many types of addiction, they manifest themselves in different ways. So, with severe withdrawal, the following physiological symptoms of withdrawal of an addict almost always occur:

Bone aches, muscle tremors.

Pain in the lower back and epigastric region.

1. Convulsions, tremors.

   Lachrymation, runny nose.

   Insomnia, apathy.

   Vomiting, nausea.

Withdrawal symptoms also occur with the use of other opiates. With regard to drugs of other forms, some symptoms of withdrawal may be absent, which does not detract from the severity of its course.

It is impossible to thoroughly describe how an addict feels when withdrawing. In terms of the level of pain, this can be compared with the most difficult situations: pain during childbirth, injuries with muscle ruptures and fractures, pain with burns. Unbearable suffering is complemented by a terrible psychological state.

The muscle spasms are so violent as if the body was torn to pieces. The patient tries to find a comfortable position, rolls on the floor and bed, hits various objects, but does not feel pain, because the internal pain is stronger.

The psychological symptoms of withdrawal are as follows:

The patient is very irritated, aggressive, angry.

Exhausted, he is cold.

Feels lonely, unwanted.

The addict is haunted by fear, anxiety, nightmares, hallucinations in reality.

Lost interest in the world around him, there is isolation, unwillingness to communicate.

The surrounding people are perceived as irritants and threats, some "demons" that bring continuous suffering to the body and soul. This pushes the addict to aggressive actions or makes him flee and hide from everyone.

Each type of drug has its own symptoms of drug withdrawal. For example, when addicted to ketamine, a drug addict may feel like a graceful dancer, although in reality he moves angularly, stumbles over everything, his facial expressions are not coordinated, and coordination of movements is impaired. The skin is pale. At spice breaking the addict can lie sluggishly on the couch and constantly cry. With withdrawal after inhalation of LNDV (volatile narcotic active substances), the addict is agitated, irritated. This state is abruptly replaced by a feeling of self-pity, tearfulness, the desire to sleep or eat a lot.

Breakage begins with sneezing, tearing, allergic skin rashes, and then manifests itself with abdominal pain, stool disturbances, pressure surges, chills, nausea. The next stage is bone aches, and this sensation begins to build up rapidly. Other signs of withdrawal follow.

What happens in a drug addict's body during withdrawal: what can help ease withdrawal of a drug addict?

Long-term use of a drug changes the processes of biochemical regulation of the body, and the brain stops producing some important neurotransmitters. Instead of synthesizing them, the body uses synthetic substance which perceives as necessary element a healthy system. As a result, the absence of the drug is perceived as a "breakdown", and the "withdrawal syndrome" begins in the body. This happens literally 1-3 days after drug withdrawal.

Withdrawal lasts approximately 10 days. During this time, the body must cope with the fact that there is no surrogate neurotransmitter, and then the production of its resources will begin. In addition to the fact that the balance is disturbed, the body is sharply lacking nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and this only enhances the withdrawal process and slows down the rate of recovery reactions.

If the addict is exhausted, then withdrawal may be delayed, and the resources for recovery will not be enough. Then the addict dies.

Only doctors in the clinic can facilitate the withdrawal of a drug addict qualitatively. And there are several methods for this.

How to relieve withdrawal symptoms of a drug addict: detox for severe withdrawal symptoms

There is the fastest and reliable way withdrawal withdrawal - detoxification (detox), ultra-rapid opioid detoxification or the so-called AML method. It is this method that makes it possible to painlessly remove the withdrawal of a drug addict, but it is better to carry out this in a narcology clinic under the supervision of doctors. Detox is the most popular method in Moscow for two reasons.

It turns out to remove narcotic withdrawal as quickly as possible - in 6-8 hours. In this case, the patient does not feel anything, since he is under anesthesia. At this time, the patient is administered Naloxone and Naltrexone according to a certain scheme, which block opiates.

Removal of withdrawal occurs in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor, which means that all negative consequences are maximally leveled.

AML is used for opioid addiction. The method is ideal for drug overdose and long-term use.

Detox should not be used during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in the presence of severe somatic diseases in the stage of decompensation (irreversible changes in the functioning of organs or systems).

Other ways to relieve addiction withdrawal are both longer and more painful.

You can list them briefly. All of them are also widespread and applicable, but only under the supervision of a doctor, since the withdrawal process in drug addicts is very painful. And the addict's first desire is to immediately find a drug to relieve his suffering. And this is precisely what should not be allowed.

So, in addition to UBOD, there are non-drug and combined methods for relieving withdrawal symptoms. For example, the procedures of classical detoxification using plasmapheresis and hemosorption are used, or a drip, which can be delivered at home.

How to remove withdrawal symptoms at home: consultations - Moscow and Moscow region

There are many special cases described on the Internet on how to remove withdrawal symptoms at home. These tips are akin to recipes in self-medication magazines. Recommendations to take sleeping pills, psychostimulants, drink alcohol not only will not eliminate the cause of the addict's withdrawal (the process of drug breakdown in the body), but will also inflict an additional blow on the liver, central nervous system and cardiovascular system... In addition, such a "home detox" will lead to faster addiction to the drug and more severe withdrawal symptoms. Next time, this method may not help, but kill you.

What will help with withdrawal from a drug addict?

Often addicts try to find an answer to the question of what antidepressants will help the addict with withdrawal. There is an opinion that it is necessary to use the drug "Tramal", but it is he who is able to provoke the appearance of seizures and worsen the patient's condition. It is much smarter to use medicines to relieve certain withdrawal symptoms. First of all, we mean domestic amino acid medicines "Limontar", "Glycine" and "Biotredin". However, without knowing the consequences of their action on the body, you can bring yourself to disability or even death.

Removal of withdrawal symptoms at home: is it real?

The only safe way to relieve withdrawal symptoms at home is to endure the pain. But this is beyond the power of anyone. In addition, unconsciousness, cardiac arrest, or respiratory arrest are not uncommon during withdrawal from excessive pain.

Lack of treatment is also fraught with consequences: the drug decomposes in the body for several days and all this time causes significant harm. Untimely intervention threatens catastrophic and irreversible consequences for the addict.

How long does withdrawal take for a drug addict?

This is influenced by the concentration of the drug, the duration of administration, the general condition of the person. Sometimes the withdrawal does not stop for 2-3 weeks. Withstanding such a load is real heroism. In practice, no one can stand it: either a person breaks down, or asks for help from narcologists.

Drug addiction is a medal with two sides. One of them is the state of "high", euphoria, when the whole world consists of color pink and its shades. back side – breaking known in medical circles as withdrawal symptoms. Joy and a feeling of endless well-being are replaced by torment, which can become simply unbearable.

Breaking - this is exactly what needs to be dealt with when treating drug addiction. In order to become a healthy and full-fledged person again, the patient must endure this terrible condition. If it works out - by myself. If it doesn't work out - with the help of doctors and medicines.

Why and how do withdrawal symptoms occur?

Regularly receiving the drug, the human body gets used to it, rebuilds. Metabolism changes. The drug becomes literally vital. Like food, water or air.

Now imagine: experiencing an acute need for a state of "high", the nervous system suddenly does not receive the coveted dose. This becomes a huge stress on all organs and tissues. Compensatory mechanisms are triggered, striving to somehow make up for the lack of a narcotic substance. But their own internal resources are not able to replace a powerful narcotic substance. This is what causes withdrawal.

Withdrawal symptoms develop in two cases:

• inability to get another dose or complete rejection from the drug
• dose reduction, switching to a weaker drug.

The most rapid withdrawal syndrome is formed with the use of opioids: heroin, methadone, opium, morphine. Slightly slower - when you are addicted to sleeping pills and psychotropic substances. With alcoholism, its formation can take a very long time. The longest withdrawal syndrome develops with the use of hashish. Some substances, such as LSD, although classified as drugs, do not cause withdrawal symptoms at all. But they can lead to other, no less serious consequences.

The most severe withdrawal occurs with opioid dependence. When using methadone, the addict experiences simply inhuman torment for a whole month. It is clear that the stronger the abstinence, the harder it is given view addiction is treatable.

Symptoms and signs of withdrawal

At different types dependencies they have a lot in common. Withdrawal symptoms can be divided into two large groups:

• psychopathological - concerning the nervous system;
• somatovegetative - affecting internal organs.

Psychopathological symptoms

The first symptom of withdrawal is a change in mood and emotional state addict. He becomes very excitable, irritable. From time to time he experiences bouts of strong, unreasonable aggression. The entire consciousness of the patient is absorbed in just one idea: where to get the next dose? He cannot think of anything else. He is incapable of experiencing any other experiences other than those caused by the lack of a dose. At night he is tormented by insomnia.

Somatovegetative symptoms

At first, the symptoms of withdrawal are reminiscent of a cold. The addict is worried about chills, the body temperature rises. Then headaches join, severe pains in all muscles and bones. They become permanent and so strong that it is difficult to compare them with any other pain. Because of them, the addict cannot sleep, do his usual things. He is worried about nausea, which is accompanied by severe frequent vomiting.

Many drug addicts describe these symptoms as unbearable. The difficulty is that at the initial stage of addiction treatment they need to be endured. The patient must "sit out" the withdrawal in order to clear the body of the drug.

Prison is the most difficult stage. If it is completed successfully, then further treatment is likely to be successful.

If the addict could not bear the painful symptoms and broke down, everything will start all over again. Further treatment will become impossible.

If it becomes clear that imprisonment is impossible, special methods are used - detoxification in a hospital setting or, as a last resort, ultra-fast detoxification under anesthesia. And of course, after the detox, you need to send the patient to rehabilitation. Because detox itself is not a guarantee that the addict will not return to use.

The term "withdrawal" means a pronounced physical dependence on the drug, it can be considered an unambiguous sign of drug addiction. How quickly it appears since the last use of the drug depends on many reasons - for example, the daily dose of the drug and the duration of the illness. Some drug addicts develop withdrawal symptoms after 5 hours, some - after 18. Narcotic withdrawal begins with increasing anxiety and fear of its onset, after a while there is lacrimation, runny nose, uncontrollable repeated sneezing, coughing - all this is very similar the initial stage of influenza.

The diameter of the pupils begins to increase, while the pupils do not respond to changes in the brightness of the light. The pulse becomes more frequent, blood pressure rises, and there are periodically alternating states of heat and chills. If about a day has passed since the last drug intake, usually there are extremely excruciating pains in the body, especially in the legs and along the spine, the patient cannot sleep. Further, all the above phenomena intensify, there are cramping pains in the intestines, diarrhea with false desires, repeated vomiting.

As a rule, at this stage of drug withdrawal, patients do not stand up and either seek help or try to get a dose by any means - the drug immediately relieves the condition. The most difficult time is the third or fourth day after the last dose of the drug. How long does withdrawal take? A noticeable improvement in the condition occurs by about the tenth day, and the complete elimination of withdrawal symptoms in a drug addict can take up to six months. Sometimes withdrawal lasts less and is less painful, accompanied by less severe pain, but general scheme the onset of symptoms remains the same.

Do I need to help a patient during drug withdrawal?

If a drug addict himself asked for help and admitted that he suffers from drug addiction, then, of course, one should show humanity towards him and provide help. But if the patient does not admit that he uses drugs, then it is better not to rush to alleviate his condition, you can use it to force the addict to admit his addiction. For young drug addicts who do not suffer from serious illnesses, withdrawal, despite its painfulness, is not life threatening. This should not be forgotten when the patient tries to blackmail his loved ones, set conditions for them, frightening him with his possible death, or demand special, sometimes impossible conditions for treatment. There are situations when drug addicts, having firmly set themselves the goal of getting rid of drugs, experience withdrawal on their own, without even taking any medication to alleviate the condition (in their slang, this is called "breaking dry").

The consequences of withdrawal

If the addict has experienced withdrawal, the need for the drug becomes his main need. It displaces all basic human needs - the need for food, the instinct for self-preservation, sexual need, cognitive need. Even the fear of death is relegated to the background. For example, drug addicts can use the same syringe despite the fact that one of them has HIV. This feature of drug addicts must be taken into account when choosing treatment methods.

The addict subordinates his whole life to his most basic needs, for him moral and moral principles, obligations to family and friends, even to the value of life itself - one's own and those of loved ones. Drug addiction makes such a patient deceitful, unprincipled, ruthless. He actually becomes a different person. Moreover, these changes are intensified with the continued use of drugs. If the addict tries to overcome his illness, accepts the help of relatives and doctors, then the pathological personality traits are erased, the person returns to a normal state.

When you are faced with the question of drug withdrawal treatment, you need to remember that all drug addiction options have the same clinical picture. The stages of addiction are divided into the following:

• Intoxication (use of drugs, alcohol);
• Acute withdrawal symptoms (drug withdrawal);
• Period of post-withdrawal disorders;
• Formation of therapeutic remission.

Any treatment should be based on the period of the disease. Drug addiction treatment begins with harm reduction during acute withdrawal symptoms through detoxification, roughly speaking, withdrawal withdrawal.

Withdrawal begins when a person's drug addiction is already developed, and access to drugs for some reason has ceased.

How does drug addiction develop?

A single use of the drug does not cause addiction. Addiction appears after 3-5 injections or intranasal use of heroin, 10-15 injections of morphine, 30 doses of codeine. On average, the stage of episodic administration of the drug lasts 2-3 months. If the drug intake from the very beginning becomes regular, then the period of drug addiction is reduced to 1-2 weeks.

Drug addiction also has its own stages.

Stages of addiction:

• First stage. The regularity of anesthesia is the beginning of the first stage of the disease. Sleep is superficial, appetite is suppressed, the amount of urine decreases, constipation. Doses are gradually increasing. The absence of the drug manifests itself after 1-2 days, mainly in the form mental disorders... The duration of the first stage with injection is from 2 to 4 months, with codeine intake - up to six months, with the use of poppy straws inside - up to several years.
• Second stage. Tolerance has sharply increased (100-300 times). The physiological effect of the drug changes - constipation disappears, with colds, a cough appears, sleep is restored, and pupil constriction persists. Behavior becomes lethargic, passive. There are signs of physical dependence.
• Third stage. Most drug addicts do not live to this stage. In the third stage, not only a large drug addiction syndrome is expressed, but also the consequences of chronic intoxication. In the foreground is physical dependence. Tolerance drops to 1/3 of the previous dose. The effect of the drug is extremely stimulating, there is practically no euphoria. A dose of 1/8 to 1/10 of the constant dose is required to achieve physical comfort. Outside of intoxication, there may be no ability to move. Withdrawal symptoms are less pronounced, however, it occurs more quickly, and its duration reaches 5-6 weeks.

Patients of the third stage seek medical help, since they cannot get the required amount of the drug and suffer from prolonged manifestations of withdrawal symptoms. Sometimes they try to give up the drug on their own, trying to replace it with alcohol, tranquilizers, barbiturates, but this, as a rule, does not lead to success. Sometimes the transformation of one drug addiction into another or the formation of polydrug addiction is noted.

Withdrawal symptoms may differ depending on the type of drug the person is using, for example:

Opium (morphine, heroin)

Withdrawal from morphine addiction occurs a few hours after the last dose of the drug. A variety of somatovegetative, neuropsychiatric symptoms are noted.

Physical manifestation:

• yawn,
• sweating
• lacrimation
• diarrhea,
• chills,
• dilated pupils
• nausea,
• vomit,
• tides,
• high temperature
• increased breathing
• spasms of the muscles of the larynx, abdomen and other groups, pain in them,
• dehydration and weight loss.

Psychological manifestation:

• There is anxiety, restlessness, unaccountable fear of death, coming in surges.
• Sleep is disturbed, often accompanied by nightmares.
• The mood is changeable: either a slight euphoria with an overestimation of one's own personality and one's capabilities, or a low mood with depression, or irritability, anger with apathy and aggression.

The acute, most difficult period of abstinence is 7-10 days. However, then, within 1-1.5 months. lasts severe asthenia, depression, somatovegetative disorders, decreased performance. There are short-term psychoses with a change in the state of consciousness. There may be Korsakov's amnestic syndrome, seizures. Mental disorders become noticeable and are expressed in psychopathization with dysphoria and deceit. A decrease in the moral and ethical qualities of a person, emotional devastation, and disability are revealed. Neurological changes are mainly expressed in the form of autonomic disorders (constriction of the pupils, dry mouth, stool retention, fluctuations in blood pressure, etc.)

In the late stage of opium addiction, all syndromes of the disease state become more complicated and aggravated. Tolerance falls, while disruptions in the rhythm of drug use occur, especially during periods of somatic trouble. However, when the condition improves, drug use is resumed. Euphoria is practically not observed, the stimulating effect of the drug decreases. Psychic dependence is satisfied in part by improving the mental state and some lifting (stimulation) of intellectual and physical processes.

Physical dependence is severe. In the withdrawal syndrome in a more acute form, all the symptoms of the chronic (II) stage of drug addiction are manifested. Asthenic syndrome becomes especially difficult and protracted, and even taking the drug relieves it for a short time. Depression is expressed, often with suicidal thoughts.

In patients, a decrease in the intellectual-mnestic personality traits becomes pronounced, they lose personality traits, become similar to each other. Asthenia and weakness predominate. It is worth remembering that withdrawal of heroin withdrawal should take place only with consultations and under the supervision of medical personnel.

External manifestations of drug addicts:

• General aging is noted,
• cachexia,
• gray-earthy skin,
• trophic disorders in the form of crumbling teeth, hair loss,
• diseases of individual organs or systems: cardiovascular, genitourinary, respiratory, gastrointestinal tract,
• impaired coordination of movements.

Methadone withdrawal results in physical symptoms:

• Dizziness,

• Runny nose,
• Sneezing
• Nausea,
• Vomit,
• Diarrhea,

• Chills,
• Tremor,
• Tachycardia (rapid heart rate)

• Prolonged insomnia
• Rave,
• Auditory hallucinations
• Visual hallucinations
• Enhancing the perception of smells, reality or imagination,
• A noticeable decrease in sex drive,
• Anxiety,
• Panic,
• Paranoia.

Why does methadone have such effects?

Long-term use of methadone is addictive and its effect diminishes. This process is called "tolerance" to the drug. Tolerance to the drug may require increasing doses of methadone to prevent painful withdrawal symptoms.

With an increase in the dose of methadone, the amount of negative effects of the drug on the body increases. This impact includes:

• Dulling emotions
• Lack of sleep
• Loss of consciousness,
• Loss of sex drive and interest
• Loss of clarity of thinking
• Slow response, increased likelihood of accidents,
• Dehydration and inability to metabolize properly.

The symptoms of methadone withdrawal are the most severe of all drugs.

• Painful and debilitating symptoms can last for several weeks or, at high doses, for several months.
• Almost no one was able to complete the cancellation of methadone on their own; medical attention is needed.

Methadone withdrawal facts:

• Methadone is a narcotic substance, like other opiates and opioids such as g heroin, oh xiContin, in and one, oh xycodone, hydrocodone.
• Methadone is the most addictive drug.
• People who take methadone are severely deficient in essential vitamins and minerals.
• People taking methadone will experience severe and painful withdrawal symptoms if the drug is abruptly discontinued.
• The pain of methadone withdrawal is comparable to a very serious case of the flu, only 10 times worse.
• Using methadone for pain relief can be fatal.

Codeine withdrawal symptoms

If you have taken codeine long time, codeine withdrawal may occur in case of abstinence from the drug. Symptoms appear in two stages. The early phase occurs within hours of the last dose. Secondary symptoms occur later as the body becomes accustomed to living without codeine.

The early symptoms of codeine withdrawal are similar to all symptoms of heroin withdrawal.

Secondary symptoms include:

• Diarrhea,
• Stomach cramps
• Dilated pupils
• Nausea and vomiting,
• Goosebumps.

Many of the symptoms of codeine withdrawal are the opposite of what codeine does. For example, constipation is caused by constipation, but if you stop using it, it can cause diarrhea. Codeine often causes drowsiness, but during withdrawal the person suffers from insomnia.

Drug addiction is a serious illness that leads to damage to internal organs, the development of neurological and mental disorders, and leads to personality degradation. A drug addict is a person who is physically and mentally dependent on psychoactive substances and needs to gradually increase their dose.

Drug addiction develops very quickly, and the person himself does not notice how he gets into its network. Drugs act on the brain in such a way that the person who uses them believes for a long time that he is in control of himself, and, if desired, can easily refuse psychoactive drugs.

Depending on the severity of drug addiction, abstinence from drug use often leads to withdrawal symptoms, or, as it is also called, drug withdrawal.

Drug withdrawal Is a pathological condition that different people manifests itself after different times of drug use. Basically, withdrawal symptoms develop against the background of taking hard drugs, heroin.

Withdrawal usually occurs after using drugs for several weeks. During this period, a person usually develops drug addiction, and there is a need to increase the dose. The higher the “experience” of the addict, the more intense the drug withdrawal syndrome.

But in people with certain features of the nervous system or its painful changes, withdrawal symptoms may appear even after two or three times of drug use.

A person begins to realize that he has fallen into the insidious networks of drug addiction only when withdrawal symptoms appear. If it is impossible to take the drug, the patient feels withdrawal. It is different for every addict, but in all its symptoms it is always painful and unpleasant.

Drug withdrawal symptoms

The first signs of withdrawal symptoms in a drug addict appear after 8-10 hours from the last dose. The first signs of drug withdrawal are nervousness and irritability, inability to control their behavior and emotions. The body shudders from the strongest chills, there is profuse salivation and lachrymation, the nose clogs up from a runny nose, sweating increases.

After a while, the addict's dilated pupils stop responding to light. Severe vomiting begins. The addict cannot eat anything. There is no appetite at all, and trying to eat something turns into swelling. If the patient does not use the drug, all withdrawal symptoms will intensify and peak in intensity after three days.

Then the addict's blood pressure rises, the pulse quickens, and diarrhea develops. But the most basic and most painful symptom of drug withdrawal is severe pain in bones and joints. It seems to break a person. His muscles are cramping. The pain-ridden addict cannot even rest or pass out. Men may experience spontaneous ejaculation during withdrawal.

But more severe than physical pain, the addict during withdrawal symptoms suffers psychological suffering. It turns out that withdrawal pains are imaginary, phantom. When a person begins to use drugs, he expects a sense of pleasure from them. But when, instead of pleasure, withdrawal comes, the patient realizes that the drug will not give him the desired pleasure. After the onset of the development of withdrawal symptoms, the "high" from the drug disappears altogether, and the addict is forced to take drugs to get rid of suffering.

Narcotic substances have the properties of inhibiting neurons, so they block pain. After regular use of drugs, the nervous system gets used to such work, and its cells stop producing their own pain relieving substances - endorphins, which are also responsible for feelings of pleasure and joy. Cells of all tissues and organs begin to demand drugs, refusing to function without them. Instead of adequate signals, the brain receives signals that the body is suffering. This is drug withdrawal.

Removal of drug withdrawal

Removal of drug withdrawal is the first victorious result in the fight against drug addiction. The very name "drug withdrawal" sounds scary, but it is even more scary to see this state with one's own eyes, let alone to feel it on oneself. If a drug addict was able to painlessly overcome withdrawal symptoms, he could easily give up drugs. It is the painful sensations of withdrawal that make the addict use the drug again and again. After experiencing withdrawal, the addict can no longer exist without drugs.

The longer the drug intake lasts, the more difficult it is to remove the drug withdrawal. With a long drug experience, withdrawal should be removed in a hospital, so that the patient is constantly under the supervision of doctors. Withdrawal symptoms cause the addict to experience severe discomfort, from which only qualified drug therapists can relieve him.

The process of removing withdrawal symptoms in drug addiction implies a complete cessation of drug use. When withdrawing withdrawal from a drug addict, pain syndrome is eliminated and nervousness is reduced. The only exceptions to the general rule are serious cases of drug addiction, in which abrupt withdrawal from drugs can lead to the death of the patient. When withdrawal is removed, toxins and not absorbed poisons are first removed from the body of the addict. This procedure is called detoxification. This phase of treatment is mandatory in the elimination of drug withdrawal symptoms.

How to remove drug withdrawal? In modern drug treatment practice, there is a fairly wide arsenal of remedies for withdrawal withdrawal, but in order to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary in each case to determine the composition and amount of drugs or to prescribe other methods of detoxification. This can only be done by a qualified specialist.

Some drug addicts try to remove withdrawal symptoms on their own, at home. But such cases have never brought the desired result. The patient takes alcohol in the hope that it will relieve him of pain, but this only aggravates the situation. Trying to sleep to get rid of the aching pain, the addict takes pain relievers and sleeping pills... But without all these means, withdrawal is even less dangerous. A particular danger is the use of various psychostimulants during withdrawal symptoms, which in this situation pose a huge risk to the health and life of the addict.

When removing withdrawal symptoms at home, there is always a risk of complications; moreover, in such conditions, there is no strict control over the patient's compliance with the necessary sobriety regimen. Therefore, withdrawal of withdrawal symptoms and drug addiction should be treated in a hospital setting, where there is the necessary conditions, equipment and preparations.

The patient should know that withdrawal of withdrawal symptoms will last 5-7 days, during which his body will be cleansed of toxins, residues of narcotic substances and the withdrawal symptoms will be softened and then removed. In most cases, procedures begin with intravenous administration of a polyionic saline solution to the patient, which restores the electrolyte balance in his body. Sedatives, hypnotics, vasodilators, diuretics and other drugs are added to this solution.

After detoxification of the body, vitamins and minerals are administered to the patient to help the body to mobilize inner strength for faster recovery.

Removal of withdrawal symptoms is the first stage in the treatment of drug addiction. The addict must understand that after the elimination of the withdrawal syndrome, the treatment of the destructive dependence on narcotic drugs must necessarily follow, otherwise his life will go downhill.

Drug addiction treatment begins with withdrawal withdrawal, then drug therapy is carried out. After that, much attention is paid to psychological rehabilitation and social adaptation of a person. Together with the patient, specialists drug treatment clinics go through all the stages of this difficult path and support it at every level of getting rid of drug addiction. If the patient strictly follows all the recommendations of the doctors and takes seriously the issue of his treatment, then he will be able to return to normal life and again find family, friends, work ...

TREATMENT OF SALT DEPENDENCE

Features of treatment and rehabilitation from salt addiction

Collocation salt addiction treatment remained incomprehensible to most people for a long time. Today salt addiction is one of the worst forms of drug addiction.

This article will not discuss the classification of salts from the table. chemical elements Mendeleev. We will not talk about table salt. It will be about the drug salt and about the treatment of a complex disease - addiction to salt. Seemingly harmless at first glance, "bath salts". Under this name, these drugs appeared on the shelves of stalls in many cities of Russia and for a long time were legally released to everyone indiscriminately.

The word "drug" comes from the Greek word "anesthesia", that is, a substance that intoxicates or induces sleep. List all types modern drugs extremely difficult. More and more new substances appear almost every day, moreover, more and more powerful ones. A drug like salt is no exception. Addiction to them comes instantly. To cope with salt dependence on your own, especially at home or for free, is a utopia. In most cases, compulsory treatment of salt dependence is required.

What is the drug salt?

Why is it legal? (by the way, hence the second name of the salt is "legal") Because this type of drug at that time was not on the list of drugs (List of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors subject to control in the Russian Federation). And there is still a competition "who is faster" between criminal chemists, who now and then change the drug formula to a new one, and the authorities who do not have time to add new formulas to the list of prohibited drugs.

So what is the drug salt? Salt is the strongest drug in the amphetamine class, addictive from the first use! Unlike opium drugs, it does not cause physical withdrawal, but strongly affects the central nervous system. And we want to tell you the shocking details of the effects of salt, something that is usually not talked about.

What substances are on the list of narcotic substances and why addiction to salt is a separate line

Many people gradually become addicted to the drug without even knowing it. A person who takes sleeping pills or pain relievers, for example, also risks joining the ranks of drug addicts. Even some of the approved pain relievers sold by prescriptions in pharmacies are very addictive. What can we say about salt dependence ...

What is drug addiction in essence? It is an irresistible desire for a specific substance. In the world today, a great many of all kinds are available:

• all kinds of salts
• opiates;
• hallucinogens;
• psychostimulants;
• smoking mixtures;
• types of alcohol with the addition of psychotropic components - both natural and artificially created.

This is just a short list of all the narcotic or addictive drugs of today. Compulsory drug addiction treatment today is the only way out for people whose loved ones have become addicted to this or that substance.

Salt dependence occupies a special place in this list. What is it connected with? Why do narcologists shrug their shoulders when it comes O treatment of salt addiction?

The main types of addiction

According to international classification drugs, every second person in the world can be called a drug addict. The most common type of drug addiction is smoking. Nicotine excites the central nervous system, while causing oxygen deprivation.

Alcohol is the second enemy modern man... It relaxes quickly. Addiction to it is characterized by both physical and psychological dependence. Mortality due to strong alcoholic intoxication is quite high. This is the same overdose that the body cannot withstand.

Do not think that taking light drugs, which include marijuana or spice, is a way out. For them, the strongest mental dependence becomes a very characteristic phenomenon. It's just that it does not form as quickly as with the use of heavy drugs. The main signs of the use of smoking mixtures are various psychoemotional disorders. They cannot be missed.

It is much more difficult to get addicted to hard drugs than to publicly available cigarettes, smoking mixtures and alcoholic beverages. Having tried once, a person will no longer be able to refuse this drug. The feeling of euphoria completely kills the will and changes the perception of reality. It is extremely difficult to recover from salt addiction.

Signs of salt drug use

The psychological effect of the drug is such that all the senses under the influence of salts are exacerbated many times over. This is both a feature and a sign of salt drug use. For example, if it is fear, then it turns into panic paranoia. If this is a sexual desire (and it is almost always present when salt is consumed), then it turns into many hours of madness, into a sexual obsession. Sexual desire is so strong that it confuses the mind and goes beyond the permissible limits of what is permitted. A person who has been consumed can masturbate for hours and even have sex with his own sex, being in a sober state a categorical opponent of same-sex love. Quite easily, as you can see, you can lose yourself under the influence of salts. By the signs of salt intake, you can easily identify the problem:

01 Insomnia. (a drug addict can go without sleep for a long time, this is due to the fact that salts are a stimulating substance)

02 Lack of appetite, aversion to food. (Often the addict refuses food for several days)

03 Dilated pupils. (Moreover, the pupil of the addict remains dilated even when bright light is directed at him)

04 Severe weight loss. (In some cases, with active use, a drug addict can lose up to 4 kg.)

05 Traces of injections, inflamed nose (salts can be consumed both intranasally, inhaling the drug through the nose, and intravenously.

06 Behavioral inadequacy (paranoia, hallucinations, loss of body control, speech impairment (speaking too fast, stuttering, humming, etc.)

07 To consume salt, the drug addict tries to turn off the light at the time of the injection, close his eyes with a towel and take a horizontal position. This is an important tradition for the use of this drug.

Based on these main signs of use, it is possible to determine with a high degree of probability that a person is using the drug salt. We hope this will help you identify addiction without bringing it to the point of no return and promptly start treatment for salt addiction.

Today there are many rehabilitation centers that fight drug addiction, but not all of them are successful. Voluntary or salt addiction treatment is offered by the "Vita Drug Addicts Rehabilitation Center". Professionalism and confidentiality are guaranteed.

Salt addiction treatment

In the treatment of salt dependence, doctors, narcologists and others are simply powerless. Since there is no physical withdrawal, it is difficult for the addict himself to accept that he has problems. Although from the moment of the first taste of salt, the addict thinks about only one thing, how to find and use more. This is a difficult case - salt addiction treatment, but still subject to professional rehabilitation.

The rehabilitation program is based on the symbiosis of the two most effective techniques getting rid of addiction: 12 Steps and the Day-Top program. The only thing that is required for the treatment of salt addiction is to follow the recommendations of this simple, spiritual, but not religious program based on the principles of love, responsibility, discipline and everything that is creative in nature.
