Families play important role in long term sobriety
Human beings are very emotional animals on the
earth. They are in constant need for emotional
support. It is also proven that they succumb to
situational pressures and demanding roles more
easily than their counter part. They easily fall prey to
different lures. They need more external support and
help to fight out personal issues. The world is very
much complicated. It offers many happy moments,
but also equally sad or stressful ones. It is up to
someone how to deal with this. Many face it bravely
but many fall prey to harsh situations. As they say,
life is always give and take. Many times it happens,
that life only “takes” and does not give back the
expected. This brings in lots of depression to a
person.
To seek some solace, he turns to various activities which might be or might not be
really helpful to him. Some of such activities could be indulging into sports, music
or any other hobbies. These are some of very constructive and stress-buster
activities. There are activities which do not fall under constructive category. They
are more of life threatening or destructing ones, like alcohol addiction, substance
abuse or drug addiction. These activities induce only harmful substance into body
and take the life out of the humans. At the initial stage any addiction can be
hidden cleverly, but as it advances, it becomes very difficult to control the urge to
take the substance in and at this stage the addiction comes out prominently.

pressure or acceptance seeking behavior, craving for
adventure etc. It is a very natural tendency of human

matter be it experiences or adverse situations in life
or drugs and alcohol in-take, this is also applicable to
the medicines. If the medicines are taken for a longer
time, the human body tends to get used to it and
then the dose needs to be increased for obtaining the
effect. It is also possible for people to get addicted to

sought help at earliest, it can be treated and there are very rare chances of
relapses. But it happens in very rare cases. Many addicts remain in denial for long

is much more positive and effective. It is observed that a person becomes more
open and welcomes changes as well as responds better to the measures taken for
healing.
Men need more emotional support and care.
It is very much natural to get used to anything that makes our
life easy or extends support. Human being is an emotional
creation. Hence he depends a lot on other factors for
satisfying his emotional needs. This support could be obtained
in a form of friend, family. In case of these important factors
are missing, then he involves himself in a constructive or
destructive activities. Constructive activities can be like
hobby nurturing, self development etc. But some may
immerse themselves into profession or seek shelter of drugs
for feeling complete or forgetting the exterior world.
Men, being the bread winner of the family, are faced with this problem mostly. By
nature they are secretive; they do not like to wash linen in public. This nature of
theirs can take toll on their mental and physical abilities. Hence there is more
chance of a man getting addicted to the drugs or any other substance.

not help us solve any of our problems; rather it leads us to take resort of
escapism. The drugs give us a high and thus take us into a world of unrealistic.

is even more painful. In reaction to unable to cope with the problems one takes
help pg drugs once gain to escape into the unreal world. It affects the personal as
well as professional life of a person.
Many rehabs offer recovery program targeted specially for men and women
separately. This is so because; it is very human to feel comfortable in the company
of the same sex. People tend to respond in a very positive and cooperative manner
while surrounded by the similar sex. They very much feel connected and co relate
with each other’s problem, giving a very reciprocal response. Following this
principle, there are specialized rehabs designed and dedicated to men only. These
rehabs believe that drug treatment for men differs completely from the women’s
treatment. The natural difference in weight, nature, body type and responses to
drugs differ in both these species. The drug treatment programs helps men
overcome their addictions by giving them highly structured but caring support,
which is required by men.
