Drug addiction distorts a person's personality and destroys the structure and activity of internal organs. Severe neurological, somatic and mental disorders develop. Personality addict is rapidly degrading.
Drug dependence is formed quickly. And the patient does not notice it. The structures responsible for self-criticism are suppressed in the brain. Narcotically dependent person does not consider himself sick. The same happens with alcoholic anosognosia in alcoholics. Interruption of systematic abuse of the drug leads to the appearance of symptoms and exacerbation of symptoms of withdrawal symptoms - narcotic withdrawal.
Narcotic withdrawal - is a phenomenon of the drug withdrawal syndrome, that is, dependence on drugs. Especially it is expressed with the constant use of heroin, cocaine and many others.
In some cases, narcotic withdrawal appears after three to ten to twenty-fold use of narcotic drugs. Much depends on the type of drug and individual characteristics of a person.
Understanding that it is already impossible to live without a drug, comes to the addict while experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Symptoms of narcotic withdrawal
After passing a certain time, usually the first 10 hours after the last dose, the first signs of a narcotic withdrawal syndrome appear. This irritability, unpleasant sensations in the body, nervousness, lack of ability to control their emotions and behavior. Increases sweating, lacrimation, salivation. There is a strong chill and a person just shakes.
With each hour, unpleasant and painful phenomena intensify. Wide pupils of the drug addict do not react to light. There is vomiting. Appetite is absent completely. After about three days, the symptoms of narcotic withdrawal reach their apogee.
Blood pressure, palpitations, and severe diarrhea increase dramatically. The main symptom of narcotic withdrawal, why it was actually called "breaking" is an intense pain in the joints and bones. The drug addict breaks everything, twists it, cramps reduce muscles. Even in men during the peak of withdrawal there is an involuntary ejaculation. The patient experiences incredible suffering.
The fact is that the systematic use of narcotic substances leads to oppression of the production of its own opiates by the body. Yes, the body itself, naturally produces endorphins - natural hormones of good mood, they are also anesthetic substances. And now, the accustomed organism to the drug, can not work normally, because he sits on the strongest artificial painkillers. Pain, when narcotic withdrawal, is a phantom, or imaginary. But they bring terrible suffering. For "high" there is a brutal retribution. Without a drug, the nervous system in the patient's brain sends pain impulses from all kinds of organs and their systems.
Removing narcotic withdrawal
The fight against drug addiction begins with the withdrawal of narcotic withdrawal. After all, it is this breaking that pushes the patient into the endless swirl of suffering and the search for a drug. This is the basis of drug dependence.
The longer the addiction "experience", the worse it is for the patient and it is more difficult to remove narcotic withdrawal. Therefore, the patient needs to go directly to the hospital of the narcological clinic or just to the hospital with a doctor-narcologist. Treatment of symptoms of narcotic withdrawal is carried out not by drugs, but by means of detoxification, by the coping of pain syndrome, by the introduction of intravenous sedatives and soothing agents and preparations.
How to remove narcotic withdrawal?
A modern specialist in narcology has a wide range of withdrawal remedies. It determines the composition, quality and quantity of medications. To remove narcotics breaking independently, at home, at least - the peak of irrationality, naivety and complete ignorance. This is especially true when trying to drown out narcotic withdrawal with alcohol, psychostimulants, anesthetics and hypnotics.
At home, if symptoms of withdrawal are removed, there is always a high risk of complications. Even in the hospital, withdrawal of the breakdown lasts a whole week. The patient is intravenously injected with a polyionic saline solution to restore the electrolytic balance. There, in this solution, pour in soothing, relaxing, sleeping pills, diuretics, antispasmodics and other drugs. Is it possible at home?
After a well-conducted detoxification of the body prescribe vitamin preparations, nootropic drugs.
Removal of breakage - this is only the first, the initial stage of treatment of drug dependence. The patient must understand this well and use the beginning of treatment as his first, and perhaps the only, happy ticket to a long, interesting and productive life.
Treatment of addiction starts the way at the point of removal of the breakdown and lasts, probably, all my life. Psychological and social rehabilitation, and adaptation are obligatory applied processes of treatment. We need to build a new life, find a family, good friends and work.
