Alcoholism Drug Treatment

Developing information about brain based alcoholism drug treatment is an important part of the sweeping change that happens when one wishes to be rid of alcoholism or drug addiction.

The separation from the old playmates and playpens can give new habits and thinking patterns an opportunity to grow.

Now we have a clearer understanding of how the brain responds to treatment, and we know that we can encourage the brain to increase its neurogenesis and neuroplasticity as important aspects to the recovery process.

Neurogenesis is the birth of new brain cells, and the brain will do that for you every day in the absence of poisons like ethyl alcohol, or the presence of too great amounts of adrenaline or cortisol, and in the presence of B-vitamins, antioxidants, and omega three fish oil.

In the early days of alcoholism drug treatment, if the finances and legal issues are worrisome, it will be very important to teach relaxation skills, so physiology can be changed to support recovery, sometimes heart beat by heartbeat.

And now we have available research about the “brain in the heart” and heart rate variability biofeedback, an easily learnable skill, which can be linked to Step 11 of the 12 Step approaches.

So we teach our client that a significant part of recovery will be regulating stress chemistry in the body by regulating breathing and attention, and the brain will grow new brain cells for use in already existing circuits.

I would call that recovery.

And then we can teach about how the brain uses its neuroplastic capacity to rewire and reconnect depending on what we are paying attention to.

Sharon Begley has written convincingly of that process in her writing about the research of Richard Davidson, Ph.D. of the University of Wisconsin and the Dalai Lama and Buddhist monks who have permanently changed their brains and their capacity to feel compassion by practicing meditation.

Wonder if that is what the Dr. Bob and Bill Wilson had in mind when they made the 11th Step (daily prayer and meditation) a part of AA?

Neuroplasticity and neurogenesis and relaxation using heart rate variability biofeedback can be learned and enhanced as an important aspect of alcoholism drug treatment, so the client can focus on early successes in treatment rather than the wreckage that usually accompanies someone to treatment.

Yes, and they can be learned fast, with results which the client can see if using feedback from computerized brain fitness programs or heart rate variability biofeedback tools.

One of the most interesting brain fitness tools is the dual n back task, which the research says increases IQ, and the research also says that there is no upper limit to the increases possible if you continue to practice.

You can see your improvement when using the tool, and a client can feel comfortable knowing that the very foundation of recovery, their brain, is healing and learning new attention and focusing skills that will generalize to all aspects of their recover

Prescription Drug Abuse / PSA Video. From the public domain. Most people take medicines only for the reasons their doctors prescribe them. But an estimated 20 percent of people in the United States have used prescription drugs for nonmedical reasons. This is prescription drug abuse. It is a serious and growing problem. Abusing some prescription drugs can lead to addiction. You can develop an addiction to: Narcotic painkillers Sedatives and tranquilizers Stimulants Experts don’t know exactly why this type of drug abuse is increasing. The availability of drugs is probably one reason. Doctors are prescribing more drugs for more health problems than ever before. Online pharmacies make it easy to get prescription drugs without a prescription, even for youngsters. Some people experiment with prescription drugs because they think they will help them have more fun, lose weight, fit in, and even study more effectively. Prescription drugs can be easier to get than street drugs: Family members or friends could have a prescription. But prescription drugs are also sometimes sold on the street like other illegal drugs. A 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health showed that among all youths aged 12 to 17, 6% had tried prescription drugs for recreational use in the last month. Why? Some people think that prescription drugs are safer and less addictive than street drugs. After all, these are drugs that moms, dads, and even kid brothers and sisters use. To Angie, taking her brother’s …

Question by Gruntled Employee: why is it called “drug abuse”?
this seems to me to imply that the drugs can be used unabusively, i.e. properly. but I would strongly disagree with that statement. Those drugs can never be used unabusively, so what’s with the name?

Answer by Girly Q
Some drugs, e.g; can be used properly, and cocaine even in itself is found in some drugs that surgeons use.

Are people still snorting their lives away? Holy sh!t,you’d think they’d have learned about that from my generation. We pretty much snorted the 1980′s away.

You do not want to be around a coke freak. They’ll lie and use you to get another line to do. This guy sounds like a user to me. Kinda tough to go to sleep when you’re all coked up.

And yes,I’m well familiar with drugs and mental illness. My first wife snorted herself into a stroke,coma and massive brain damage. She can move now,but she has no idea who anyone is from her past and can’t remember anything that happened to her two days ago.
