Welcome back! Got questions about addiction? Ask me and I'll respond in a video.
TRY ACUPRESSURE TO RELIEVE SYMPTOMS OF ADDICTION
There are several ways to do acupressure, and you’ll need to try different methods to discover what feels best to you. Acupuncture points are about 0.5 mm diameter, so you’ll have to be precise if you want good effect. If your fingers or hands get tired while trying to apply acupressure, you can use a prop like a the rubber eraser of a pencil, a golf ball or a blunt object that is at least 3-4 mm thick.
Basically, there are two main principles in acupressure. You reinforce a pressure point to bring energy to it, or you reduce a pressure point to remove energy blocks. You can reinforce and reduce the same acupressure points to both bring energy and remove energy blockage. They don’t cancel each other out.
To reduce an acupressure point, continually press and move your index finger (or another finger if you get tired) in a counterclockwise circles on the point. To reinforce a pressure point, you can apply firm pressure using your fingers, palms, or knuckles to a pressure point for one to several minutes. Or, you can rub the pressure point vigorously to increase circulation to the area. You can also try to quick tap a pressure point with your fingertips or fist to stimulate the muscles. To get a full effect, apply pressure for at least 30 seconds; preferably 1-2 minutes is best.

Many a drug addiction treatment center is established in America. They offer many recovery programs and facilities to patients of psychological disorders. Professionals and experienced therapists cure the diseases at centers. I am not sure that treatment should focus on the body… drug treatment is a psychological treatment of a victim.

I think that, ideally, treatment centers should SIMULTANEOUSLY treat mind and body. So my idea is not that the body replaces the mind, but should be considered at the same time during any treatmentfor addiction.

One thing is for sure if you are trying to break a habit such as drug addiction, a change of environment should be at the top of the list as far as solutions. Due to these factors, attending a drug rehab close to home is seldom the correct treatment option for chronic drug abusers. It is extremely therapeutic to be distanced from the people they used drugs with, drug dealers, and the surroundings that can continue to stimulate their past addictive behaviors.

Make sure there is a balance between physical and metal health when it comes to kicking drug and alcohol addiction. There are a great deal of physical discomforts that happen when stopping the intake of narcotics. There needs to be some relief and giving them more drugs is not the ideal solution for the problem. We use Chiropractic methods of relieving never pains from the withdrawals. Im curious how these methods effect the process.

My daughter was released from an adolescent in-patient substance abuse facility on her 18 birthday and has been home for 1 month. She was in intensive out patient and relapsed on her 3rd week home. Her drug of choice was roxies. It has been a week since her relapse and she has been ok. She has an appointment with CARP out patient treatment in a couple of weeks. She attends one out patient per week and one on one with a clinician once a week. Any advice.

Hi Salena. I’m sorry to hear the news about your daughter. I’d suggest that you check out Al-Anon. There, you can learn about how to cope with a loved one who is using. Your daughter must choose recovery. Have you thought about asking her to find another place to live if she is using?
