Drug Addiction, the Self-Esteem Trap, and Recovery
Feelings of inadequacy, poor
self-image, and inability to cope with the demands of day-to-day life prove too
much, and a means of escape is sought. Apart from my own experience, I have met
many addicts whose decline into addiction was the result of this
'self-medicating' attempt to feel and appear 'normal'. We have the best drug rehabilitation
centre in Pune.
People with low self-esteem do
not value themselves, but that does not mean they do not value other people.
Typically, they will help others at their own expense because they place more
value on them than they do on themselves, i.e. others’ needs are greater than
theirs.
Unfortunately, the lifestyle of
an addict necessitates that the needs of the addict are placed above those of
themselves and others, including those who are closest to them such as family
and friends. The effect of this neglect is a further lowering of self-esteem as
this behavior conflicts with their moral and ethical codes. Yes, addicts are
subject to morals and ethics despite popular belief!
When a person is addicted for a
longer time, the negative impact on his self-esteem is also the greatest at
that time. This is the time when they need to self-medicate. This trap is not
easy to escape from but with the right guidance, it is possible to rebuild
self-esteem. In order to increase one's self-esteem, one needs to do estimable
things.
We all have basic human needs,
and the best way to increase self-esteem is to ensure those needs are met.
There is no secret to raising self-esteem; it is not off limits to some people,
including drug addicts and alcoholics. Achieving a healthy lifestyle requires
considerable and sustained effort in the basic human needs department. Some of
the basic human needs are listed here:
-
The need for a sense of control
-
The need to look after your body
-
The need to give and receive attention
-
The need for creativity and stimulation
-
The need for meaning, purpose, and goals
-
The need for a sense of safety and security
-
The need for a sense of status and recognition
from others
-
The need for a connection to something greater
than ourselves
Many people in recovery from drug
and alcohol addiction relapse because not enough attention is paid to these
most crucial areas. Seeing a counsellor or therapist will not improve
self-esteem in itself. You can contact us through our website; we have the best
addiction treatment centre in Pune.
As there are many
facilities to help and deal with such alcohol and drug-related issues in India,
there are many top rehab centres in India where top-notch accommodation
facilities are thus provided. Having the basic amenities of air-conditioned
rooms and dormitories with the supply of hot water, veg and non-veg food menu,
satellite TV, and the availability of indoor games, the rehab centres also have
a 24/7 medical and support staff, with a panel of medical and psychiatric staff
and also an experienced counselling team with top reputed therapists. One will
also have the 24/7 availability of ambulances with clean and modern living
areas which would indeed provide positive health being.
