Thinking about drugs and addiction?


It may be useful to think about ‘addiction‘ as patterns of behavior. However, they are not the real things, but often known as the things that are solidified into illusory realities.We can perceive them as habits, we can identify themselves as patterns of behaviors and therefore, we can find out ways to unlearn those habits and behaviors. It all depends about our perceptions and ability to understand the concept of addiction. If we think of an addiction as a set of often unconscious preferences, we will be surprised to know that it is in our capacity to discover another set of preferences that are more valuable than anything else, whether it is a the problem substance or any behavior.

    FAQ:

    1How the drug habit transformation program works?
    The Program starts by turning away the focus from the problem, and it aims that the participants enrolled in it can learn to re-live their memories and experiences. The motive is to make them feel better emotionally and to make them gain control over their emotions. It is necessary to determine that every individual need to choose, how and when they want to feel differently, and finally if they are ready, it is time to design a future that is best for them. Problems are deemphasized. In some cases, a behavioral foundation was presented in order to deal with the problematic behavior themselves later. The program follows a holistic approach and works on every aspect of well-being. The sessions include rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), NLP techniques, psychotherapy, and physical therapy to provide a complete rehabilitative plan to every individual. In the first few sessions, the practitioner will determine the individual case and make a rehabilitative plan. The program would include rTMS, non-invasive, non-drug, FDA and CE approved, neuromodulation technique to inhibit the drug craving in the brain structures. Further, the participants are taught about accessing and enhancing a positive resource state by using standard NLP sub-modality techniques. As any NLP practitioner knows, this sub-modality work starts with the enhancement of any experience remembered by the participant and so, firstly the participants are made to promise that they will learn to enhance their experiences and memories. During these starting sessions, the participants are guided to focus more and more on the feelings that are associated with those experiences and memories, so finally they are able to discover the series of deeply pleasurable states. These meditative states are formed partly to enhance feelings of self-worth, efficacy, and to also to provide strong positive experiences that are powerful enough to challenge the salience of the problematic state. The second step, includes the participants in anchoring the previous predefined states that they have worked to access and enhance. These states usually includes the experiences of a participant that comprised of focused attention, any single good decision that they have made or even a moment of skill consolidation or a learned behavior such as; riding a bike, driving a stick shift, or an experience of personal competency. These resources are enhanced to ecstatic levels, to the point where there is virtually no shadow of the original context. The program focuses on making proper answers available, making them more intuitive and more powerfully motivating than the focus of the addictive behavior. The third step, includes monitoring physical health and well-being, the team of experts will be working together on a single individual, in order to help him unlearn a habit and bring him back to life.

    2What are the outcomes of the program?
    The desired outcome of the program is that there would be spontaneous and near universal use of the anchors for anger management. The motive is to make the participants realize that they have a reliable means to control their emotions, they will be able to choose the way they want to feel in the moment. The practitioner will not tell the participants where to use the specific coping strategy, but the process will make the participants aware enough to deal with all the situations and they’ll be able to use all the coping strategies perfectly under all circumstances. Once the participant gets the hold of himself and completes the program, they generally realize that it would have been so much better if they’d have experienced it early to get out of the trauma. The program makes sure, that by the end of it, the substance abusers or addicts, should come out clear by providing urine analysis. And they would be very firm and confident. Another motive is to prevent the relapse, the participants will be taught in such a manner that they would be capable to prevent any kind of future interactions with drug.
