Symptoms and effects of drug addiction - when to seek treatment?
Symptoms of drug addiction can vary. It depends on the type of substances used, the degree of addiction severity, and individual predispositions of the addicted person. Among the most common symptoms are:
Behavioral changes
An addicted person may exhibit sudden mood changes, aggression, irritability, social withdrawal, and problems at work or school.
Health problems
Drug use is associated with risk of health disorders, including damage to internal organs, mental disorders, and other complications that can be fatal.
Financial and legal problems
Drug use is often associated with high costs of purchasing psychoactive substances, which often exceed the financial capabilities of the addicted person. This often leads to loss of income, falling into debt, and conflicts with the law due to involvement in criminal activity.
Changes in appearance
Depending on the type of substances taken, the addicted person may experience visible physical changes, such as weight loss, skin changes, or deterioration of dental condition.
Stages of drug addiction treatment at Nasz Gabinet Krakow
Drug addiction treatment consists of several key elements that create a support program for the addicted person. All actions are necessary to overcome addiction and effective prevention. Our mission is to provide assistance at every stage and comprehensive support to Patients.
Detoxification
The first stage in drug addiction treatment is cleansing the body of psychoactive substances. Detox is a process during which the body removes toxins, which is necessary to continue therapy. At Nasz Gabinet in Krakow, we conduct detox under strict medical supervision to minimize the risk of complications and alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
Individual therapy
After detox is completed, the next stage of treatment is therapy. Nasz Gabinet offers individual therapy conducted by experienced specialists who help Patients understand the causes of addiction and develop techniques for coping with addiction. Individual therapy allows for in-depth analysis of the Patient's problems and development of a personalized treatment program that will help overcome addiction. Sessions focus on changing negative thoughts and behavioral patterns, as well as building motivation to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Group therapy
Group therapy is another key element of addiction treatment. Participation in a therapeutic group allows Patients to share experiences with other people who are struggling with similar problems. At Nasz Gabinet, therapy is conducted by experienced psychologists and therapists who ensure that each participant feels safe and comfortable. Working together on problems allows us to understand that addiction is not only an individual problem, but also has social consequences. Group therapy allows for creating a support network and contacts with other people, which can be very helpful in the recovery process.
Post-treatment support
At our center in Krakow, we offer support after formal treatment. We help Patients return to normal life, support them in striving for abstinence, and offer help in case of disease relapse. We offer assistance in finding support groups or participating in resocialization programs. Our goal is to ensure the Patient's return to healthy habits and regaining control over life.
