If a drug addict or alcoholic does not want to be treated?
Addiction destroys a person’s mind, deforms his personality. Under the influence of drugs, the addict is not able to analyze his condition, he is sure that only a stimulant will bring him happiness and well-being. That is why one of the main symptoms of addiction is the refusal of a sick person from treatment.
Relatives of drug addicts constantly face a similar problem: trying to convince their loved ones of the need for rehabilitation, they run into a wall of misunderstanding, aggression and a persistent unwillingness to change their lives. Thanks to the intervention procedure carried out by experienced psychologists at the Transformation drug rehabilitation center, the addict will be motivated for treatment and take the first step towards health and drug freedom.
How does this happen?
The interventional procedure begins with the addict’s family. A conversation is held with the patient’s family, thanks to which psychologists learn the details of the relationship in the house and the life of the victim of addiction. This information further helps our specialists find an approach to the patient and motivate him for treatment.
When talking with relatives of the addict, psychologists explain to them how they should behave before the patient’s conversation with psychologists and after the intervention. This avoids conflicts, misunderstandings between family members and the breakdown of the addict.
An individual approach to each case, many years of work experience and special psychological techniques allow psychologists to influence the patient’s outlook, change his attitude towards life and addiction, and persuade them to accept the help of professionals. Without coercion and threats, the addict agrees to treatment.
