About
o Addiction is an enduring and relapsing brain ailment that is considered as
compulsive drug seeking and used despite of its harmful consequences.
o It is defined as a brain ailment because drugs cause damage to the brain and
can cause problems in its functioning .
o During an ailment, some part of the body fails to function normally which
causes the unsolicited symptoms.
o According to The National Institute of Drug Addiction (NIDA, USA), the brain
changes as evidence after a brain scan causing the behavior known as
addiction, which is further characterized as ‘compulsive drug seeking and
use.’

3. Some key arguments suggest that the evidence does not support the statement
o The addicts and their loved ones should instill faith in the rehabilitation
process.
o There is no difference in change during and after a scan and no
abnormality is seen.
o People change their behavior regardless that the brain has changed in
response to repeated substance and it does so without surgery or
medication.
o There is no significant evidence that the behavior of addicts is compulsive,
it rather is a choice.

4. o Early addiction recognition occurs at the first signs when a problem occurs –
before anybody has suffered distressing event, lost important relationships,
jobs, their health or self-respect.
o It is not an easy to live with an addict and hence it is crucial to start taking
steps to begin their treatment as soon as possible.
o Though recovery can be a painful process it is the only route that holds a
promise for a better and healthy life.

Early recognition of an addiction is a benefit:

5. o The most direct approach is by organizing a formal intervention taken by
everyone who cares about the person and wants them to change their life for
the good.
o The most powerful strategy is to stop reacting and be detached. This specially
works when you are living with an addict and deal with them on regular
basis.
o The one thing that always resolves issues is an ultimatum. But it should not
just be threat, you should stick to your plan and act on it otherwise it won’t
work. It is very important to stick through the plan.
o Another important thing is to protect yourself and others around from
physical harm.
