How to Stop Methamphetamine Cravings

How to Stop Methamphetamine Cravings

When you’re in recovery from methamphetamine addiction, also known as ICE, you might feel cravings come and go. In order to maintain your recovery it is important that you remember this: methamphetamine cravings come and go.

How to Stop Methamphetamine Cravings

You need to be prepared to crush these cravings when they do come, and to be aware of the potential risk factors even after they have warded off. Meth cravings might leave you alone for many days, weeks, or even months. During these times, you should make the most of your sobriety. However, you should know that you can have cravings at any time, anywhere, and even well after going to a rehab for meth.

Tips to Stop Methamphetamine Cravings

To help you maintain your sobriety from a meth addiction, consider these tips and advice regarding cravings for meth.

Remember What You Have to Lose

When a craving for ICE (meth) hits you, remember how great your new life can be a challenge. The cravings may be so distracting that you struggle to focus on anything – regardless of how positive it might be. This is normal. The best thing you can do is to plan ahead. During your time at a meth rehab, you may be encouraged to make a list of the things that your recovery has brought forth. For example, you might feel physically better, are emotionally balanced, have become a better parent, friend, or partner. Perhaps you have begun to save money or are now planning a vacation. Recovery can bring about all kinds of benefits. Think about what your recovery has done for you and write it down. Carry this list everywhere you go, and when you have a craving for meth, pull it out and look at it.

how to get over Methamphetamine Cravings

Learn How to Manage Your Stress

Stress is one of the most powerful triggers for an addiction to any drugs, including methamphetamine. There are a number of factors, including individual, biological, and social factors that can impact the course of recovery. Stress is one of these aggravating factors. When you are stressed, you become more vulnerable; thus, increasing your risk for relapsing. It is important to manage your stress levels. This can be done by utilising various tools and techniques you learned at a methamphetamine rehab in Thailand, such as Siam Rehab. Deep breathing, walking, exercise, or yoga may help you to relax your mind and body. You might also benefit from talking with a sober support friend, a counselor, or another person you can trust.

Learn How to Manage Your Emotions

Stress is not the only emotion that can elevate methamphetamine cravings. Rather, any emotion can trigger a desire to use meth. By learning how to recognise, feel, experience, and process all kinds of emotions, you can ward of your ICE cravings. Your meth rehab therapist and treatment team will help you to do this. Others getting help at your rehab might also offer advice and strategies that can help you to manage your emotions.

Know How to Distract Yourself

Recovery from a methamphetamine addiction will tend to ask you to face various stressor, emotions, and troubling situations. This is inevitable. While you might be equipped with the right tools and techniques to cope with these challenges, sometimes things might be so overwhelming in the moment that you’re unable to utilise these resources. If you find yourself in a situation like this, try to distract yourself. The more time and distance you put between yourself and the feeling that is making you want to use, the more you will begin to feel better. The Association for Psychological Science asks individuals to “disengage at an early state” so that the power, or force, of the feelings can help you to curb and ward off our cravings. Distractions can be anything from going for a walk, calling a good friend, engaging in an activity, reading, and so forth. You may want to create a list of all the possible distractions that work for you. Have it available for whenever you might need it.

Seek Help from Others

You are not alone in your recovery. You can reach out to other people whenever you are having a craving for methamphetamine. If you have already gone to a meth rehab, you might consider calling your peers from treatment, a counsellor, or your nearest support group. In the event that you have relapsed and would like to get help at a rehab for meth in Thailand, call Siam Rehab.

How Does Meditation Help with Addiction

When you have decided to get help for an addiction, and are taking the first steps towards beginning treatment at an inpatient recovery programme, you may be invited to partake in meditation sessions.

How Does Meditation Help with Addiction

When you have decided to get help for an addiction, and are taking the first steps towards beginning treatment at an inpatient recovery programme, you may be invited to partake in meditation sessions.

Part of recovery will require you to heal on all levels; thereby, enabling you to achieve a healthy, long term sobriety. This means you will need to heal your physical body, but also your mind and spirit. For thousands of years, people all around the world, have turned to meditation to bring for the relaxation and calmness. When you meditate, you will learn to find a balance and sense of peace that assists you in that present moment, but also throughout the day. Practising meditation for addiction can provide you with a broad range of benefits which is why many inpatient rehabilitation centres, such as Siam Rehab, include sessions in their programmes.

An Unusual Opportunity for Addicts

Men and women living with an addiction have an unusual opportunity to explore and create a sense of wellbeing, happiness, and focus as a result of the chronic nature of their condition. To elaborate in further detail, even when a person has begun a rehab programme in Thailand, or elsewhere, their addiction will lurk in the neural circuits of the brain. This can result in cravings, urges, and a feeling of deprivation. When such feelings arise, they can act as a reminder to channel them towards positive behaviours so as to avoid a relapse. For many people, meditation for addiction recovery acts as a pivotal motivator to help them stay in the present moment. Mediation teaches focus and clarity; both of which help a person to remain sober.

According to ongoing research and studies, mindfulness meditation can reduce the risk of relapse. Even 15 minutes a day can produce positive changes in areas of the brain, including the anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortex. These changes are responsible for mood, stress and anxiety levels, attention span, and memory. At the same time, meditation for addiction can expand the capacity of the brain; thereby, leading to a heightened state of consciousness.

Understanding "Consciousness"

For most people, regardless of whether or not they have an addiction, they will go through their life in a normal, waking conscious state. Some scholars would describe this state similar to sleepwalking. In other words, they may go through their day, interacting with others, taking care of tasks, but yet never focusing on what they are doing at any given time. They lack observation or intimate connection with themselves and their day to day living.

People with an addiction may have less awareness of themselves, their life, environment, and the current moment. Many describe themselves as being on autopilot and preoccupied by getting the next drink, high, or fix.

Meditation for addiction helps recovering men and women, as well as anyone else, to tap into the present moment and experience and expansive-like state that is open, clear, and honest. Practising meditation each day will lead to deliberate engagement that is driven less by negative self talk or unexamined emotions, but rather, clear determination. It also helps people to take control of their actions and emotions and respond less to surrounding stimuli.

Meditation for addiction, and at an inpatient recovery programme, can improve a person’s ability to self-regulate. You will have learned how to control your behaviour, thoughts, actions, and attention – even when you are not engaging in mediation. Essentially, meditation rewires your brain for the better.

The Benefits of Meditation During Rehab

Meditation during rehab can decrease feelings of stress and anxiety. At the same time, it can increase your self awareness and introspection. This ability can lead to many benefits, including:

  • You will learn how to assess past, current, and future situations in your life.
  • You will understand how to react appropriately when faced with a tough situation.
  • Meditation lowers stress levels; thereby, your risk of a relapse.
  • A reduction in stress can lead to re-centring and focus; thereby, leading to a removal of negative feelings and thoughts.

How to Meditation

A number of the best addiction rehabs will utilise meditation into their programmes. This is because it works, it’s easy to learn, and it can be done anywhere, at anytime. The following are simple steps to start meditating:

  1. Find a quiet, comfortable space without any distractions.
  2. Choose a time, anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for the session and set a time to help you monitor it.
  3. Sit in a cross legged position, in a chair with your feet on the floor, or in another position that feels right for you.
  4. Once seated, close your eyes or focus on a point, such as a flame, at just pay attention to your breathing.
  5. Naturally, thoughts will enter your mind. When this happens, don’t judge or think about them. Rather, let them go and focus back on your breathing.

As you practice meditation on a regular basis, you will find it to be easier. Eventually, it will come naturally. You may even want to spend more time in a meditative state.

If you would like to know more about our inpatient recovery programme, or how meditation for addiction has helped many of our previous clients, call Siam Rehab today.

Cannabis Induced Psychosis Rehab

Siam Rehab, a Cannabis rehab Thailand has to offer, provides leading residential treatment for patients who are addicted to cannabis or have experienced cannabis induced psychosis.

Contact us today

Cannabis Induced Psychosis Rehab

Our professional team of mental health practitioners and addiction specialists implement a unique therapeutic approach and will ensure your loved one receives adequate support and treatment needed for positive lasting change. To learn more about our cannabis rehab, please call Siam Rehab today.

Understanding Cannabis Induced Psychosis

Cannabis induced psychosis is not a health condition in itself. Rather, it is a set of specific symptoms that are thought to be caused by marijuana, also known as cannabis, use. Although psychosis from marijuana use is not common, it can be serious. When a person is affected by cannabis induced psychosis, they may experience:

  • Paranoia
  • Lack of sleep
  • Delusions
  • Aggression
  • Hallucinations
  • Disorganised thinking
  • Wandering

A majority of people who experience cannabis induced psychosis will find that the symptoms are considerably rapid – almost instantaneous. Often they don’t realise the change, but others around them might notice something different. The symptoms may last a few days; with the average time being 10-15 days. Some people might be severely affected so much so that their everyday functioning is hindered.

For people who have experienced cannabis induced psychosis, usually, they are frequent users of marijuana and can benefit from going to a rehab for cannabis in Thailand. Some people might be sent by loved ones during the bout of psychosis and others might start rehab afterwards. Rehab for cannabis can help to reduce the use of the substance, possibly stop the psychosis, and prevent a recurrence. Many patients may also be diagnosed with an underlying mental health disorder and be guided towards an appropriate treatment plan and aftercare programme.

Rehab for Cannabis Induced Psychosis

When a person suffers from cannabis induced psychosis, they can benefit from going to a rehab in Thailand. This will provide them with a supportive environment, 24/7 care, and peace of mind in knowing they are safe. Rehab for cannabis addiction or use may begin with an individualised treatment programme that has been developed with the patients needs in mind. This plan will also include the necessary recovery tools needed after rehab. When a person is being treated for cannabis induced psychosis, they may have goals such as:

  • Reducing, and eliminating, delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia typically associated with psychosis.
  • Discontinuing marijuana use
  • Identifying whether or not an underlying mental health condition exists.
  • Developing a strong recovery plan and support system.
  • Regaining normal functioning.

As a cannabis rehab in Thailand, we know of many patients who have suffered from cannabis induced psychosis and also have an underlying mental health condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or anxiety disorder. It should be noted that there is ongoing research regarding cannabis induced psychosis. It is not fully understood whether the psychosis triggers a person who may already have an underlying condition, or whether it “mimics” mental health disorders. It is also suggested that cannabis induced psychosis may be more common in people who have certain gene markers.

Making sure you or a loved one receives treatment early on is critical. Not only can it help any current symptoms, but it might also prevent further symptoms of psychosis from happening. Furthermore, a cannabis rehab in Thailand can ensure the marijuana use is the primary cause of the psychosis. Some treatments that may be used to treatment cannabis induced psychosis include:

  • Residential Cannabis Rehab – To ensure you or a loved one receives integrated treatment that addresses the physio psychological needs, a rehab for cannabis induced psychosis is the best option. This programme may include detoxification, full psychological and physical assessment, a broad range of therapies, life skills sessions, aftercare planning, and medications if necessary.
  • Medications – Depending on the individual antipsychotic medications, as well as, antiepileptic or anti-seizure drugs may be administered to alleviate the symptoms related to the psychosis. In general, these medications are very effective and work quickly.

Rehab for Cannabis Induced Psychosis in Thailand

When it comes to the safest treatment for cannabis induced psychosis, and a cannabis addiction, residential rehab is the best option. Rehab will address all related symptoms and underlying issues while encouraging a safe, comfortable and supportive recovery.

Can Trauma Cause Addiction or Hinder My Recovery

Can Trauma Cause Addiction or Hinder My Recovery

When it comes to an addiction, you might wonder why some people become addicted to a drug or alcohol and why some do not? Could addiction be hereditary? Is peer pressure, underlying mental disorders, or poverty a factor?

Contact us today

Can Trauma Cause Addiction or Hinder My Recovery

What about drug rehab, does everyone with an addiction need professional help? All of these questions are understandable, and there are many things that play a role in addiction; however, there is another factor that is known to have a significant impact on the development and continuum of an addiction.

Can Trauma Lead to Addiction?

Neglect, physical violence or sexual abuse during childhood, vetarans with PTSD, or witnessing a terrible accident are scenarios that most people know about. It is well known for some to come home from a hard or stressful day at work and have a drink to take the edge off. Thus, it might make sense that people who have gone through a traumatic event to turn to alcohol or drugs to ease their suffering and/or ignore their pain.

Trauma can lead to addiction. If you or a loved one has an addiction and can relate to what is below, trauma may be the underlying cause of the addiction. It is important for you to understand that various kinds of trauma can be addressed along with the addiction. When this is done correctly, typically at a drug rehab, you can learn how to live a life of enjoyment and happiness.

Unresolved Trauma Can Lead to Addiction

Perhaps you have known about someone who experienced a trauma and ended up becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol. It is estimated that up to 75 % of men and women who attend alcohol and drug rehab for addiction report a history of some kind of trauma.

Childhood Trauma – Experiencing a trauma during childhood can be incredibly impactful, so much so, that years after, the individual is still suffering. The reason for this is associated with the development of the brain during childhood. When a child is going through high levels of stress, which occur during a trauma, their brain development can be impeded. A number of studies have shown that such high levels of stress associated with childhood trauma leads to vulnerability towards a substance addiction in adulthood.

Anyone who has been physically or sexually abused, or otherwise neglected, can be affected. However, when a child is subjected to one of these traumas, they can be impacted in a greater way. This is because a child relies on their parents, family members, or other adults for care, support, and guidance. If these people abuse that level of trust and are the cause of the trauma, the child loses their support system. Overtime, the child’s brain can become wired differently. As such, it can hinder the childs’ childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

Can a Person Overcome a Trauma That Happened in Their Childhood?

While it might seem impossible to overcome a trauma, there are a number of different treatment options available. Many drug and alcohol rehabs, including Siam Rehab, provide dual diagnosis treatment to address the addiction and the trauma. If you are the survivor of a childhood trauma, it is important that you know you’re not alone. It is possible for trauma to lead to addiction and it is possible to get help at a drug rehab that cares.

Trauma During Adulthood

If you were to compare childhood trauma to trauma experienced as an adult you might think that the latter is not as serious; however, adult trauma is still very much real and can cause an addiction. You might know an adult who has been sexually assaulted. Perhaps you know someone who lost someone to a tragic accident or witnessed a terrible accident. Or, you may know an adult who was involved in an accident that impacted their life. If so, it is possible for these traumas to cause an addiction to drugs or alcohol.

When an adult experiences a trauma, they might have painful flashbacks or recurring memories of the incident. High anxiety, panic attacks, emotional outbursts, or lacking the ability to feel emotions are just some of the outcomes a trauma can have on an adult. Psychiatrists have been known to suggest that although a childhood trauma can cause addiction later on in life, it is possible for a trauma in adulthood to cause more physical and mental damage than a childhood trauma.

Veterans with PTSD

War is considered to be one of the most harrowing experiences a person can go through in their life. Approximately one in three veterans who go to rehab for a drug addiction also suffer from PTSD. The remaining two thirds of veterans may not have been diagnosed for PTSD or may have other mental health issues, such as depression. Many of these veterans have engaged in combat and have seen things that are practically unimaginable. Alcohol and drugs may become a veterans’ escape and a way to numb the pain they’re feeling. Apart from alcohol and drugs, veterans are especially vulnerable to developing an addiction to anxiety and pain medications such as Ambien, Xanax, and prescription opiates (i.e. OxyContin). A drug rehab that understands how trauma can lead to an addiction may be the best treatment options for veterans suffering from PTSD and addiction. A rehab can help the individual to identify the root cause of the addiction and cope with the mental health issues that is accompanying it.

Statistics for Trauma and Addiction

  • Between 25 and 75 percent of people who survived an abusive or violent experience report having problematic alcohol abuse.
  • Approximately 10 – 30 percent of people who survived an accident, disaster, or illness, say they have an alcohol problem.
  • Up to 80 percent of veterans with PTSD abuse or are addicted to alcohol.
  • Children and adolescents who’ve been sexually abused are 4 times more likely to abuse alcohol, 4.5 times more likely to abuse cannabis, and 9 times more likely to abuse hard drugs.
  • People who have experienced a trauma are 3 times more likely to experience depression.

It is possible for a person to get help for their traumatic experience and addiction at the same time. Furthermore, it is essential for treatment to be sought after any traumatising experience. Many people who go through a trauma, and who don’t get help, may fail to understand how to cope with what happened. This is when drugs or alcohol might act as the coping method. If you are concerned about a person who has experienced a trauma, you should get them help.

Getting Help for aTrauma and Addiction

Opening up about a trauma takes strength, courage, and trust. Siam Rehab, a drug rehab in Thailand, offers treatment for a broad range of addictions, as well as, trauma informed care. Our team of staff can help you or a loved one to move forward and get on a path of recovery that promotes health, positivity, and happiness.

Why Should I Go to a Rehab for Meth?

Why Should I Go to a Rehab for Meth?

At Siam Rehab, we frequently help men and women with a crystal meth or ICE addiction. Many of these patients come to our Chiang Rai based drug rehab for an extended period of time with a profound determination to recover.

Contact us today

Why Should I Go to a Rehab for Meth?

Guided by professionally trained psychologists, counsellors, and therapists, we provide our patients with an intense, yet effective, programme that addresses the physical and psychological aspects of an addiction.

It is our goal to restore the health and wellbeing of patients, while at the same time, boost energy and self confidence levels. By coming to Siam Rehab for methamphetamine treatment, patients can get out of their normal environment, away from potentially dangerous situations, and begin to rebuild their lives.

The goal of a rehab for meth is to help a person to discontinue using and learn the necessary tools and techniques needed to live a healthy, proactive life. While this might sound relatively simple, or straightforward, methamphetamine treatment can be challenging. For some, one of the most challenging parts will be the initial acknowledgement of the addiction and the need for help.

Why Should I Go to a Rehab for Meth?

If you or a loved one is struggling with an addiction to ICE or crystal meth, and are unsure about whether or not you should go to rehab for meth, consider the following things that rehab can help you to do:

Break the Cycle of Addiction

When you are addicted to crystal methamphetamine, and are ready to free yourself from the dependency, it is prudent you place yourself in drug-free environment with people who will be there to guide and support you, but also hold you accountable for your recovery goals. When you go to rehab for meth, you may begin your treatment with a detoxification. Not everyone will need this; however, if you do, it will help to rid your body of the drug and decrease the symptoms of a withdrawal. A detox alone will not be enough to treat an ICE addiction. Rather, it is just the beginning of what is to come.

Learn About Methamphetamine Addiction

Following your detox, you may notice your mind is more clear and you’re able to think in a new kind of way. At this time, you can begin to learn more about the addiction. What this means is gaining insight and perspective into sensory experiences, people, places, events, situations, and other habits that may trigger your cravings, and eventual use. This is important, and something that a rehab for meth can help you to explore. Once you have identified these things you can begin to understand how to avoid them in a practical, healthy manner.

Identify Underlying Issues

Each person may use meth for a different reason; however, it is important that during your stay at a rehab for ICE, you gain insight into what drew you into the drug. Were you stressed out? Does meth help you to numb your emotions? Do you have chronic pain? Is ICE a way to gain approval from friends? These questions are some examples of common reasons why people use drugs, including crystal methamphetamine. At a meth rehab, you and your team of addiction counsellors will help you to work from the inside, out to understand your habits and patterns of use. Once identified, you can begin to heal any unresolved problems, and build new coping skills that do not cause you to turn to methamphetamine.

Build and Practice New Habits

Many people who are addicted to any drug, including meth, lack discipline and self care. Goal setting may be difficult, let alone accomplishing them. A critical part of methamphetamine treatment is learning how to create the right mindset for setting goals. This is so important because it is common for patients to want to change their habits, but due to their inability to achieve goals, they tend to fall short; thereby, weakening their self esteem so much so that they stop trying.

Part of a methamphetamine addiction is compulsive behaviour, and these tend to be very strong in a patients’ life. Small changes generally will not help a person to rid themselves of an addiction. A rehab for ICE in Thailand can provide a safe, stable environment where your short and long term goals can be created. Furthermore, your addiction counsellors will be there to keep you on the right track and pick you up when you might be feeling down.

Establish Boundaries

Many people with an addiction to ICE will lack the ability to take responsibility for their behaviours, lifestyle, and overall life. At the same time, their friends and family may take on a lot of responsibility on behalf of them. What happens in a scenario like this is the creation of a relationship that has poorly defined boundaries. The family members and friends might assume various roles to cope with their own emotions regarding the addiction. Known as enabling, these roles can reduce stress, yet at the same time, increase anxiety and confusion. Furthermore, the actual issue may not be dealt with. A Thailand rehab for methamphetamine can help patients like yourself to explore these boundaries. Not only will you be able to identify where they might exist, you will also learn how to rebuild them in a healthy, conducive manner.

Siam Rehab: A Methamphetamine Treatment Centre

Siam Rehab is located in Chiang Rai, Thailand and is considered to be one of the leading ICE rehabs in the country. We offer a comprehensive programme that incorporates a broad range of therapies to address the many facets of an ICE addiction. If you are interested in learning more about our meth rehab in Thailand, call us today.

Why Group Therapy Works

Why Group Therapy Works

When you or someone you know is seeking treatment for an alcohol or drug addiction, there are various options available for treating the physical and psychological aspects of the condition.

Contact us today

The Benefits of Group Therapy During an Inpatient Recovery programme

When used in combination, they can be especially effective. One of the most effective forms of therapy at an inpatient recovery programme in Thailand, or elsewhere, is group therapy.

Group therapy during rehab is a valuable tool that can assist a person in maintaining their sobriety in the early days of recovery, as well as, months and years after. At first thought, group therapy might feel like a scary concept. This is usually to due with the idea of talking to unknown people about personal issues. For some, they might avoid getting any treatment because of the potentially intimidating aspect group therapy during rehab. Before you completely decide this type of therapy is not for you, take time to understand what it is and why group therapy is beneficial.

Understanding Group Therapy

Group therapy is exactly what it sounds. A trained, certified addiction counsellor, or therapist, will bring people with similar issues, together in a group environment. The sessions are confined to a limited number of people, and in a controlled, therapeutic environment. Guided in a safe atmosphere, participants are encouraged to discuss various challenges or issues that may be common to each other.

A majority of inpatient recovery programmes include group therapy into their treatment plans. Usually, it is used alongside individual counselling, cognitive behavioural therapies, and other programmes. Group therapy may last between 1 and 2 hours and may be offered several times a week.

What You Can Expect During Group Therapy Sessions

While a rehabs’ group therapy sessions might slightly vary, depending on the counsellor and the programme, there are similarities. The sessions might begin with anyone new introducing themselves and giving participants a brief background of what brought them to this place. As you attend group therapy sessions, you will learn how others have been affected by addiction and what issues they have dealt with. Some people might talk about their triggers and how they have learned to cope with them. On certain days, your group therapist might might guide the session around a topic of focus.

Each group therapy session at rehab will be overseen by a therapist who will keep everyone on track. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and contribute with advice. At no time will anyone be made to feel wrong or incorrect. As the days go by, you will get to know one another. Some people will feel a connection that develops into a long lasting friendship even outside of rehab.

Although exploring the elements of an addiction is largely important during group therapy sessions, there might be times in which a birthday is celebrated or some kind of other social environment. This is meant to encourage relaxation in a substance-free environment, while at the same time teaches you how to enjoy life without using.

Benefits of Group Therapy During Rehab

You might be aware of the reasons to attend individual counselling; however, there are an equal number of reasons to consider group therapy during rehab, and after.

Companionship

Addiction tends to cut users off from others, especially those who might not share the same condition. This can create a sense of loneliness which might exacerbate the cycle of addiction.

Group therapy sessions show participants that they are not alone. During your stay at an inpatient recovery centre, you will meet others who can relate to you and your struggles because they too share them. Discovering common bonds, such as these, serves as a foundation for mutual support, strength, and inspiration.

Communication

It is very common for a person with an active addiction to feel as if they cannot open up about the challenges they are struggling with. They might lack any healthy outlet where they can open up without judgement. In group therapy, participants will find they are invited to speak freely, without judgement, about their thoughts, feelings, and struggles.

Often, when a person is able to talk about their frustration and worries, they can identify practical solutions to overcome them. In the event they are unable to do so, another person in the group might relate to a similar situation and be able to offer valuable insight and advice.

Listeners in the group can also benefit from hearing others’ stories. They may lose any feelings of isolation, loneliness, or even doubt. Finally, the communication benefit during group therapy can overall enhance the participants’ confidence and social skills; thereby, aid in relapse prevention.

Insight

Sometimes, a person might be in a situation in which they feel no way out. This could be for any number of reasons, but often it is because they are too emotionally connected to see a solution. By talking about these issues in a safe, unbiased environment, participants can give feedback or provide a different perspective that the person might not have thought about.

In group therapy, everyone has dealt with challenges; therefore, solutions are offered in a way that is non-critical and supportive. This can prevent feelings of discomfort or the need to get defensive.

Accountability

At our inpatient recovery programme in Thailand, many of our patients quickly realise that group therapy enables them to develop a strength that they didn’t necessarily have when they were alone. Participants of group therapy tend to develop a mentality of “we are in this together”, this bond can lead to a sense of responsibility and accountability not just for one’s self, but for everyone in the group.

Mutual accountability is invaluable because when one person might be struggling or having a bad day, they know they can reach out for help and assistance. Furthermore, some people will feel obligated to work extra hard to avoid letting their peers down by returning to drinking alcohol or using drugs. This benefit is especially useful in group sessions after an inpatient rehab programme.

Group Therapy After Rehab

Group therapy might begin at an inpatient rehab facility; however, it doesn’t end once the programme is complete. Your aftercare should include some kind of group therapy. Many people choose to attend a recovery group such as NA or AA. There are other groups and programmes available; some of which are 12-step based and others revolve around another model or study format. If you are interested in joining an addiction recovery group after inpatient rehab treatment, you can talk with your rehab counselor or check out local meetings near your home.

Siam Rehab - A Premier Inpatient Rehab in Thailand

Addiction has many factors including past traumas, family history, upbringing, environment, genetics, and more. Because of this, it is important to be equipped with different tools that can help you to regain sobriety. At Siam Rehab, we make extensive use of science based therapies, and complementary therapies to target the various elements of addiction. Group therapy is included in our individualised treatment plans, along with equine based therapy, individual counselling, art therapy, and Muay Thai.

What Should I Know About Triple C

What Should I Know About Triple C

Have you heard of Triple C, also known as DXM, dextromethorphan, Coricidin HBP Cough C? Perhaps you have a child who is exhibiting strange behaviours and you are noticing an excessive amount of cough syrup bottles laying around.

Contact us today

What Should I Know About Triple C?

At Siam Rehab, we have known of many younger men and women between the ages of 14 and 27 who are addicted to a legal drug used for coughs and colds. This drug is dextromethorphan, but is most commonly referred to as Triple C or DXM. Although it is a popular drug used for its psychoactive-like effects, it is also one of the least discussed addictive substances. Coverage about the dangers of DXM use, its availability, and its effects is minimal. A number of musicians even glorify its use even though it is responsible for a large number of overdoses and deaths in the U.S. and Australia.

What is Triple C?

Triple C is a medication that is used to relieve the symptoms of a cough, cold, or certain allergies. Depending on the country, it may be available over the counter or, as in Australia, requesting it from a pharmacist.

Dextromethorphan is the ingredient that causes the effects and it can be found in several different medicines. Recently, especially in Australia, the drug has been made available, through the black market, in a purified powdered form. This is said to create a stronger high, but is considerably more dangerous and addictive.

Adolescents and young adults are most vulnerable to using Triple C. This is likely due to its affordability and accessibility. One of the best ways to understand Triple C is by reading a short story written by a 21 year old who was addicted to DXM.

“I loved it after the first time I tried it – which was when I was 17. At first I used it with my friends, and for fun. Eventually, I would use it after I woke up. It helped me to feel like I was dreaming. Then I started using it throughout the day. It really disassociated me from daily life. From then on, I continued to use it. I never thought about being addicted to it because I liked the feeling. Then, I overdosed. I nearly died. Everything kind of hit me, and my parents were begging me to get help. I was scared and didn’t actually know if I really needed to go to rehab for DXM. I tried to quit on my own, and I couldn’t handle the cravings or withdrawal. I was so used to using DXM that I didn’t know how to quit. That’s when I made the decision to go to rehab for my Triple C addiction. Now I’m 23. My life has changed in a way I didn’t think was possible. I’m still recovering, but I’m happier than I ever have been.”

The Effects of Triple C

Triple C affects the brain and body in many ways; however, to what extent the effects are largely depends on the amount that is taken and how. In light doses, Triple C causes a drunk-like feeling. A user might be unable to walk straight, could be agitated or excited, and their risk-behaviours may increase. An increase in the amount used may lead to signs of significant intoxication as well as light hallucinations. Heavy doses of DXM may result in a change in consciousness, intense hallucinations, vision loss, loss of other senses, and loss of the ability to control one’s behaviours. Beyond this amount, DXM can cause a person’s physical senses to be “shut off”. The effects are similar to PCP which is a very dangerous synthetic drug.

Triple C is considered to be a dissociative anaesthetic. Apart from the obvious short term, albeit dangerous, effects, the long term effects of the drug can be detrimental. When the drug is injected or snorted, the effects could be more severe or even life threatening.

DXM Use in Australia

The effects of DXM are so significant, and dangerous, that many people in the medical profession want the drug to be reclassified. Already in Australia, DXM can no longer be bought from the store shelves. Rather new changes mean it can only be bought on request from a pharmacist. This change came shortly after dextromethorphan use in Australia hit an all time high throughout the country. A Vice census conducted in 2017, and aimed at bringing awareness to chemicals that were being sold as MDMA, travelled through Austrailias’ festivals, clubs, and events to test ecstasy tablets. In 37.5 % of the tablets tested, DXM was found.

Signs of Using Triple C

If you are wondering whether or not you or a loved one is addicted to Triple C, there are signs and symptoms to watch out for. It should be noted that if you’re using the drug to get high or experience the psychoactive effects, you are abusing DXM. If you’re doing this on a regular basis, you may be addicted to Triple C. Signs of a Triple C addiction can vary, but often include:

  • Stomach pains
  • laboured breathing
  • Twitching
  • Stuttering or slurred speech
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Increased heart rate
  • Skin rashes
  • Numbness in the hands or feet

In addition to the physical symptoms of a Triple C addiction, family, friends, or caregivers might notice:

  • A change in a person’s physical appearance
  • Mood swings
  • Spending less time with non-using friends or family
  • Missing money or valuables
  • A decrease in appetite
  • Lying about activities
  • Showing hostility
  • Decreased coordination
  • Short term memory loss

It is possible to overdose on DXM. Adverse effects of the drug can occur at doses between 15 and 75 times more than the recommended use on the label. A Triple C overdose can be fatal; therefore, medical attention should be sought. Signs of overdose may include:

  • Dissociation
  • Hallucinations
  • Double or blurred vision
  • Profuse sweating
  • Fever
  • Breathing problems
  • Increase in blood pressure
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Coma
  • Death

You Can Get Help for a Triple C Addiction

In general, most people who abuse or are addicted to Triple C are young; typically between 17 and 27 years of age. Long term abuse can have long lasting effects on the brain and body. If an addiction is not treated, cognitive impairment, permanent memory loss could result. These effects, when combined with relationship, family, job, or legal issues, could be devastating. If you or someone you know is addicted to Triple C, or DXM, rehab will be the best option. To learn more about our DXM rehab in Thailand, call Siam Rehab now.

What Makes Heroin So Addictive, and How to Help a Heroin Addict

What Makes Heroin So Addictive, and How to Help a Heroin Addict

A heroin addiction is a serious condition that can affect the individual, their family, and close friends. In general, to overcome an addiction to heroin, a professional heroin rehab will need to be sought.

Contact us today

What Makes Heroin So Addictive, and How to Help a Heroin Addict

Many people who find themselves addicted to any drug, including heroin, don’t realise the severity of their problem, or ashamed to seek help, or don’t know who to turn to. For this reason, it is important for loved ones to do whatever is possible to get the person to accept help, or ask a heroin rehab to talk to the individual about their treatment options. The sooner they do so, the better the outcome for their recovery and life will be.

Why Heroin is So Addictive

While it might seem like an exaggeration to many, heroin indeed is one of the most addictive drugs. It can lead to a dependency very quickly, and when the user does not stop, their lives can begin to turn upside down. Although there is a great deal of research and information that suggests the addictive-nature of heroin, it does not stop people from using the drug.

  • In Australia, opioid-related deaths went from 439 in 2006 to 1,119 in 2016, or an average of 4.7 deaths per 100,000.
  • In England and Wales, registered heroin-related deaths more than doubled with 579 in 2012 to 1,201 in 2015.
  • In the U.S., in 2017, at least 15,000 people lost their lives in a drug overdose that involved heroin.

Like other drugs, the nature of heroin addiction can be related to the effect the drug has on the brain. In short, heroin tricks the motivation and pleasure centres of the brain. It causes the brain to remember the positive feelings of heroin, minimise reactions to any health problems caused by heroin, and increases the desire for the drug. When combined together, it can cause the user to have uncontrollable urges to use heroin. Furthermore, it makes it easier to use the drug than to come off of it.

Understanding Heroin

Heroin is an opiate that is derived from morphine, a drug extracted from the opium poppy plant. Morphine is used in the medical industry to help patients who are in pain. Heroin is stronger than morphine and can be smoked, snorted, or injected. Similar to other opiates, heroin causes a euphoric like feeling, in addition to relaxation and drowsiness. Although very addictive, the heroin “rush” is not as intense as other drugs, such as methamphetamine. The effects of heroin do not last very long; however, a tolerance can build very rapidly. This leaves users vulnerable to overdosing on heroin.

Heroin and the Brain

To understand what makes heroin so addictive, along with why going to a heroin rehab is so important, you must understand how the drug affects brain chemistry. While a majority of prescription opiates are swollen, processed in the digestive system, and controlled through special release mechanisms, heroin is typically snorted, injected, or smoked. This results in an almost immediate release into the bloodstream where it travels straight to the brains’ opioid receptors. Heroin targets the brain’s areas that are responsible for pleasure, anxiety, sedation, happiness, and depression. Once the drug hits these areas, the user may feel free from any problems; thus, happy and at ease.

With continued use, heroin begins to affect areas of the brain that are responsible for judgement and self-control. These can lead the user to develop cravings. The brain will also “trick” the user by minimising the negative effects of the drug. Both, can result in a dependency and addiction.

Heroin Can Be Accessed Easily

Many people might associate heroin users with homeless individuals or those who had an addiction to another drug. While both scenarios are possible, many heroin addicts develop an addiction to the drug after being prescribed painkillers for a medical condition. Some of the most popular painkillers include:

  • Morphine
  • Vicodin
  • Percocet
  • Codeine
  • Oxycodone
  • Fentanyl
  • Tramadol

When the aforementioned painkillers are taken against the doctors orders, or for an extended period of time, a tolerance and build. The user may take more than the recommended dosage, and eventually, be unable to get enough of the prescription to meet the needs of their tolerance. On the street, painkillers are difficult to source and costly; whereas, heroin is relatively easy to find and more affordable.

The Heroin Withdrawal

For many heroin users, it is the withdrawal that makes it so difficult to discontinue the use of the drug. Although a tolerance is related to the effects of the drug, the withdrawal is associated with the physical needs. When a person is dependent or addicted to heroin, and they discontinue use of the drug, they may feel withdrawal symptoms that include:

  • Profuse sweating
  • Anxiety
  • Agitation
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Muscle cramps
  • Shivering
  • Chills
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Aches and pains in the body

The withdrawal from heroin is said to be much more severe than a withdrawal from meth or cocaine and can last for 3-10 days or more. Because of the severity of a withdrawal, it is advisable for users to seek out treatment at a heroin rehab.

How to Help a Heroin Addict

Watching someone destroy their life to a heroin addiction can be extremely difficult. It is important you remain ready to help them as soon as they are ready. The following advice may also assist you in helping a heroin addict.

Keep Learning

One of the best things you can do for yourself is to learn as much as possible about heroin addiction and heroin treatment options. This will help you to understand the signs, as well as, flags to watch out for. You can also begin to understand how addiction affects the brain. This way, you are less likely to take the harmful words of the individual personally.

Avoid Enabling

It is very common for loved ones and friends to enable an addict. When you engage in this behaviour, you are giving the individual some level of emotional, financial, or otherwise support that allows them to continue using. If you want to help someone who is addicted to heroin, you should learn how to set boundaries, say no, and remain firm in your actions.

That being said, you can be supportive without enabling a person. Examples of healthy ways to support someone include looking for heroin rehab, exploring different treatment options for heroin addiction, or going to counselling with them.

Build a Support System

Trying to help someone with a heroin addiction on your own may be very difficult. Therefore, make an effort to build a system of support. This might include participating in support groups for addicts and family members, enlisting help from other trusted family members, or attending counselling for yourself. Al-Anon is one of the most recognised support groups for friends and family members of addicts. These groups are available in most major cities around the world and can provide invaluable support and advice.

Provide Opportunities for Heroin Treatment

When you know you want to help someone with a heroin addiction, make a plan that details how you can move them in the right direction. You cannot force them to quit, nor is there a quick fix. Rather, you can set boundaries that shows him or her you won’t support their use, and that you are willing to sit with them and discuss their heroin treatment options. Be sure to think about what types of heroin rehabs are available, where you might be interested in sending them, how you will cover the costs, and whether you should hold an intervention.

You can help a person who is addicted to heroin without enabling them. Emotional support and reminding them that you are willing to assist them in getting treatment are examples of positive support. Meanwhile, be sure to take care of yourself and find your own network of support that helps you to stay strong.

If you would like to explore potential treatment options for heroin addiction, or you are interested in knowing more about our heroin rehab programme, call Siam Rehab today.

What is an Intervention and What Happens if It Doesn’t Work?

What is an Intervention and What Happens if It Doesn’t Work?

When a person has an addiction, and they are not ackownedlging their problem, or are failing to reach out for help (for any number of reasons), a drug intervention can be very useful.

Contact us today

What is an Intervention and What Happens if It Doesn't Work?

A drug intervention is specially planned meeting that presents a person with a structured opportunity to make positive changes before their situation worsens. Interventions have the ability to motivate people who struggle to seek help on their own.

While many interventions for addictions are successful in helping a person realise they need to make changes and seek treatment for an addiction, some are not. If you are on this page, you might be planning an intervention and are trying to get as much information as possible – which includes wanting to know what happens if an intervention doesn’t work. On the other hand, you might have tried an intervention with a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol, and it was unsuccessful. In any case, as a leading Thailand treatment centre, we, at Siam Rehab, have helped many families, spouses, parents, and even children stage an intervention for someone they know. The following is our opinion regarding interventions and why they do not always work.

An Intervention Might Not Work

As the loved one of a person who needs help, it is important to understand that it is possible for an intervention to be unsuccessful. They don’t always work, and sometimes they actually backfire. Some potential scenarios that could occur, include:

Your loved one refuses treatment. It is possible for your loved one to refuse to admit they have any problems, or become very upset that you offered your help. This could potentially lead to a worsened situation.

You could be manipulated. During an intervention for an addiction, your loved one might appear as if they are listening. They might even say they understand what you’re saying and agree to getting treatment for an addiction in Thailand or elsewhere. Soon after this, they might tell you they never actually meant this. A situation like this could be upsetting for you and lead to feelings of hopelessness.

Your loved one could resent you. Many interventions will involve some kind of consequences. For example, if the person does not get help, you will no longer pay their car insurance. Sometimes, hearing these consequences can greatly upset the individual and lead them to resent you. For this reason, it is important that you put a lot of thought into whether or not you will include consequences, what they might be, and how you will explain them. An addiction treatment centre in Thailand, can help you to understand how to go about this in the right way.

Attendees of the intervention could cause problems. When you decide to stage an alcohol or drug intervention, with the intention of helping a person goes to rehab, it is prudent to carefully choose who you want to be involved. Prior to the intervention, make sure you know what will be said. You should also discuss anything you don’t want discussed. If you are concerned about anyone potentially be unable to adhere to the ground rules you set, or who is known for being argumentative, it may be a good idea to exclude them from the intervention.

Anyone who is planning an intervention for an addiction naturally wants to have some level of success. While it is so important to remain positive about the outcome of the intervention, it is equally important to keep in mind that it might not work. An unsuccessful intervention could be due to the reasons above or an entirely different reason. Because of the possibilities, it will be a good idea to create two separate plans: one for a successful intervention and one for an intervention that does not work.

How You Can Respond to an Unsuccessful Intervention for Addiction

If the drug intervention was not successful, you shouldn’t immediately give up. Just because things didn’t work out doesn’t mean it’s a hopeless situation or that it was a waste of time. Just as someone in recovery might relapse, you must keep believing in the person and try to help them realise they do need help.

In the event of your loved one not being receptive, or open, to the intervention or the idea of getting treatment in Thailand, consider these tips:

  • Remind your loved one that you are available for them and ready to help in any way possible.
  • Prior to the intervention, a set of potential consequences might be discussed, and in the event it does not work, they are to be implemented. As a treatment centre in Thailand, or elsewhere, might recommend, if you’re not going to follow through with these consequences, they should not be discussed at all.
  • Make sure your loved one understands any consequences, as well as, what could happen in the event they choose not to get help.

Turning to A Professional For Help

If you are concerned about staging an intervention as a family member of a loved one with an addiction, or you’ve already done so and failed, you might consider turning to a professional interventionist. These people are addiction professionals, and may include a psychiatrist, psychologist, counsellor, or interventionist. Some work privately and others are a part of a rehab.

A professional interventionist can provide you with advice on tips on planning an intervention or enforcing consequences. They can also plan an intervention which is guided by them. Often, these are more effective because they involve a neutral third party.

Don't Give Up

While everyone wants an intervention to be successful, the reality is that this is not always possible. Addiction is a chronic condition. For some, acknowledging they need help is very challenging, and takes many years to realise.

One failed attempt at a drug intervention doesn’t mean it is the end. You can still be there for your loved one. The first intervention might let your loved one know that you won’t enable them any longer. On the other hand, it might remind them they have ongoing support if they ever do want to get treatment at a rehab in Thailand.

If you would like to know more about planning an intervention, or your loved one is ready to get the help they need, call our Thailand rehab centre now.

What Can I Expect at an Alcohol Rehab

What Can I Expect at an Alcohol Rehab

In Australia, alcoholism is rampant, as is the case in the United Kingdom, Russia, Hong Kong, India, and the United States. Most people know of at least one person who is addicted to alcohol; however, the same thing might not be said about knowing someone who has decided to go to an alcohol rehab.

What Can I Expect at an Alcohol Rehab

In Australia, alcoholism is rampant, as is the case in the United Kingdom, Russia, Hong Kong, India, and the United States. Most people know of at least one person who is addicted to alcohol; however, the same thing might not be said about knowing someone who has decided to go to an alcohol rehab.

What You Can Expect at an Alcohol Rehab in Thailand

Treating an addiction takes many different shapes and forms. Before you understand what you can expect at an alcohol rehab, it is important to distinguish the difference between treatment or rehab and maintenance. When many people think about alcohol addiction treatment, the following things might come to mind:

12 Steps

Alcoholics Anonymous

Alcohol Group Support Meetings

Alcohol Counselling

All of the above are certainly beneficial to treating an alcohol addiction; however, these tend to be self-help programmes that are more akin to a support group rather than an actual form of treatment. It is prudent to understand the distinction between these “tools” for they can be effective for ongoing support, aftercare, and relapse prevention; however, they are best suited to a person who has completed formal treatment at an alcohol rehab.

Treating An Alcohol Addiction

To further illustrate what has been explained above, consider someone who has been diagnosed with a medical condition like diabetes. This person will likely not seek out a diabetes support group first. Rather, they may consult their doctor, have various tests performed, and talk with other medical professionals about the best way to address the condition. They may do this so as to better understand their diabetes and to learn how to live a healthy, normal life. Only after they have done this might they consider going to support groups.

A good alcohol rehab programme should incorporate many different forms of rehabilitation services into their treatment. A patient should also be seen by a credentialed medical professional, such as a psychiatrist and/or medical doctor. A comprehensive evaluation may be performed to better understand the severity of alcoholism, as well as any psychiatric, social, or personal needs. Once this assessment is completed, an individualised treatment plan can be developed and adjusted as needed.

How Siam Rehab's Alcohol Rehab Treatment Programmes Work

At Siam Rehab, alcohol rehab in Thailand, we offer one of the most integrative programmes available. When you receive treatment at our facility, you will benefit from evidence based therapies, behavioural therapies, and complementary therapies; of which aim to treat the mind and body. Treatment is provided by addiction specialists who are highly experienced and trained to address a broad range of substance use disorders. Your stay with us may begin with a detoxification; however, if this is not needed, you will begin the programme right away. (In general, patients with an alcohol addiction will go through a detox.)

Alcohol Rehab Basics

An alcohol treatment programme is meant to help you overcome both the physical and psychological elements of an addiction. During the process, you may expect to go through:

Assessment and evaluation

Alcohol detoxification

Alcohol counselling and therapy

Aftercare

In select cases, medication might also be recommended to a patient. This is most common when co-occurring disorders exist or alcohol addiction is considered to be severe or life threatening.

A Close Up Look At the Treatment Process

Assessment and Evaluation – Your alcohol treatment may start with a thorough physical exam and psychological evaluation. This will help our staff to understand what methods might best suit you; thereby enabling us to determine the best course of action. Typically, we will follow up with you at some point to determine whether or not we need to adjust your alcohol treatment.

Alcohol Detoxification – When a long term, or otherwise severe, alcohol addiction is prevalent, a detoxification will need to take place. This process will require you to stop consuming alcohol (and any other drug). The withdrawal symptoms you experience will largely depend on the circumstances of your addiction. We will do our best to make this process as pain free as possible. During the alcohol detox, physical and mental care as well as support, will be provided to you. Therapeutic medication during the detoxification process depends on your needs and circumstances. If required, it will be arranged and managed by a certified doctor.

Counselling and Therapy – After your detoxification from alcohol, you will begin counselling and therapy. In individual and group sessions, you will learn about your addiction and explore various issues or events that may have contributed to it. You will learn about what triggers your alcoholism and other negative behaviours. Counsellors will teach you healthier coping skills. You will learn to set goals and achieve them. Practical lifestyle routines that contribute to a sober life will be developed.

You will also meet with other patients at our Thailand alcohol rehab. During these group sessions, you will have the opportunity to share life experiences, give, and receive advice. The benefits of group therapy are enormous and can last well into your long term recovery.

Aftercare – Once you have completed formal alcohol rehab treatment, you will need to prepare yourself for the outside world. This can be a challenge for some, and we, at Siam Rehab, will assist you in developing a sound aftercare programme that supports your recovery and new way of life. We do encourage every patient who leaves Siam Rehab to continue with group meetings, counselling, and other methods of treatment to maintain what has been learned at an alcohol rehab.

An alcohol rehab can provide you with a safe, confidential environment where you can heal, recover, grow, and learn to live a sober life. Through unified objectives and highly coordinated efforts, you can be treated from the inside, out. If you would like to know more about our alcohol rehab treatment in Thailand, call Siam Rehab now.
