Drug Addiction & Alcoholism Addiction – Really A Disease Or Not?

 

Drunkenness and medicine dependence are two distemperatures that have oppressively tormented scores of people across the globe. Now, whether these two should be distributed under conditions like cancer or heart complaint is a debate that seems to rage on and produce great contestation. 

 

The medical community moment generally feels to support Drug rehabilitation centre in pune the view that dependences should be classified as a complaint, as they meet the criteria that are necessary to name them as similar. These criteria are 

1.    Primary 

2.    Progressive 

3.    habitual 

4.    Fatal 

 Drunkenness and medicine dependence surely satisfy all the over mentioned criteria, and that's the introductory reason why recuperation programs and recovery support groups like AA and NA support this standpoint. 

 But those that oppose this point of view feel that dependencies shouldn't be distributed in the same way as conditions like cancer- because using medicines or alcohol is a matter of choice, and so should dependence arise it's effectively tone- convinced- whereas cancer and other conditions torment the person without mindfulness and the same position of choice involved. So by grading drunkenness and medicine dependences as conditions, they feel it makes it too easy for those floundering with dependence to shirk taking any kind of responsibility for their state and conduct. 

 Still, should it indeed count what belief you hold on the subject? Whether or not dependence is classified as a complaint, in both cases the addict has to suffer the same process to achieve lasting sobriety successfully, i.e. admit the proper support or help, get applicable treatment, and follow a proven recovery program. Everything additional becomes immaterial handed the rehabilitative process is diligently followed. 

 We've asked several people their views on the matter and opinions remain disunited. One person felt that the medicine addict can overcome his affliction with the help of colorful groups and by making use of his fortitude and determination. But said, that isn't the case in fatal conditions like cancer because indeed if you go in for a technical treatment, in numerous cases, you can not avoid death despite going through painful chemotherapies and technical treatments. So concluded unlike in the case of dependence, tone-control or tone-will doesn't have any part to play and whether a person will recapture full health always remains a question. 

 Another person, a recovering alcoholic, said that the reason dependence is classified under complaint is because it facilitates the insurance carriers to cover all the treatment costs that one incurs while getting treated. The insurance companies will surely not pay for treating commodities like a weakness of character. Once it's distributed as a complaint, an alcoholic will be saved from tone-blame and need not suffer from tone-loathing. She can fluently place the cause of inordinate and compulsive drinking on an illness rather than condemning themselves. 

 Another person I spoke to, a former alcoholic, participated with his perceptive perspective by saying that he feels it's surely a dis-ease. lack of ease and peace. Once you face the problem, work through the 12 ways, address all the nutritive and chemical imbalances that have taken risks over your body, and connect to the spiritual path, alcohol will cease to have any control or power over you. When you quit looking at it as a complaint that had control over you and concentrates in summation only on getting healthy in mind, body, and spirit, true mending and peace will set in. 

 So if indeed among those of us who have suffered from dependence opinions are divided as to whether it's a complaint or not, my assertion remains,' Should it count?' The important thing is to find effective ways to get those who need, the help they so desperately need.
