Why a Staff With Years of Experience Matters

If you are struggling with substance use disorder (SUD) or any other type of mental health disease you may feel alone. The International Journal of High Risk Behaviors and Addiction identified that feelings of loneliness are stronger and more prevalent in individuals who are substance dependent. In addition to this, feeling lonely is classified as a factor that increases the risk for both drug use and its maintenance. The study concluded that people with SUD felt lonelier in emotional, social, familial, and romantic areas of life.

It is stated that the feeling of loneliness has a direct relationship with depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, and high-risk behavior. Researchers theorize that drug use could be a way to fill the emptiness and feel secure and in control. Substances could also be used to satisfy certain emotional and psychological needs. Because of this, it is very important to prevent and diminish these emotions during and after treatment. If the emotions cannot be changed, it is imperative to change how they are managed. Substance use is not the answer. You are not alone on the road to recovery.

Feeling Lonely

Feeling lonely can lead people down a vicious cycle of drug use and isolation if not addressed. The disease of addiction can lead to further feelings of loneliness and emptiness. It becomes an endless cycle of using to feel better and needing to feel better because of the use itself.

Does Anybody Understand?

SUD is personal for each individual. The reasons why you began to use substances are unique to you. How these substances affect your personal life, health, and well-being is also individualized. Because of this, it may feel like no one truly understands what you are going through or your desire for things to change.

It can be hard to visualize how someone can help if they haven’t been in your shoes. If you accept that you have this disease and possess the desire to heal you have already taken two of the most difficult and brave steps possible. Although it is a possibility that no one knows exactly how you feel, this does not mean that you have to go through it alone. In fact, you should never try to go it alone in recovery.

Recovery Support

A Guide to Substance Abuse Services for Primary Care Clinicians identifies the three main objectives of rehabilitation as:

• Reducing substance abuse or achieving a substance-free life
• Maximizing multiple aspects of life functioning
• Preventing or reducing the frequency and severity of relapse

It is true that there is no single treatment approach that will be effective for everyone going through addiction. That is why it is important to rely on an experienced and dedicated team that will not give up until they find the right solution for you. Your treatment plan should provide you with all the tools necessary to forgive, recover, and remain healthy. It is not guaranteed that a team will understand your every struggle and need. However, you can trust that at Twilight Recovery, we will never give up on or stop supporting you.
