Addiction Recovery: When Will Power Doesn’t Work
As you attend up to 10 hours per week of Outpatient treatment at The Right Step, you will learn about the criteria of a disease and why the medical community has decreed that addiction is a disease.
Through a series of addiction therapy sessions, you will have the opportunity to participate in a group environment and enjoy thoroughly informative discussions about the disease of addiction. You will learn how to proceed on the path toward recovery from your substance abuse addiction as you reflect upon all of the information that will be provided for you to digest.
Also covered in this session:
Disease Concept of Addiction - Part 1
Addiction Therapy: Disease Traits - Part 2
Disease of Addiction: Initial Stages - Part 3
Disease of Addiction: Losing Control - Part 4
Disease of Addiction: Substance Abuse Withdrawal and Pain - Part 5
Brain Neurotransmitters: Phases of Addiction - Part 6
As you learned about the time spans involved in the different stages of developing the addiction disease and the differing factors of this process for both adults and adolescents, you will discover that it is not something that just happens overnight.
Due to this fact, as well as the biology of addiction, i.e. the effect upon the brain neurotransmitters, it will become easy to see that the use of will power alone will not be enough to arrest the disease of alcohol and drug addiction.
The Role of Will Power in Addiction Treatment
You will experience comparative sessions regarding the addiction disease and other well-known diseases to enable understanding of the reasons behind the treatment of abstinence for substance abuse addiction.
Supportive, licensed professionals will help you learn that a disease takes understanding, commitment, and follow through on the individual suffering from the disease of addiction, as well as from their family. Will power without these is a useless tool. However, when will power is combined with these tools, it will take you a long way in your recovery from substance abuse addiction.
Once you have completed Session Two of the Outpatient Program at The Right Step, you will begin the next Session, wherein you will be able to develop a much deeper comprehension of the disease of addiction and alcoholism, the biology of addiction, common misconceptions, contributing factors and how the addiction illness is treatable.
