Withdrawal Symptoms: How to Deal with Substance Abuse

Withdrawal from drugs and other addictions can sometimes be overwhelming, and you feel lost in the heat of it all. First things first, don’t be. You are not alone. The withdrawal process is not as simple as it seems, as there are so many other factors that culminate into the entirety of the concept. There is every possibility that you are unsure of what withdrawal means, or how you can get help in the process. 

How Have Drug Relapses Been Managed Over Time?

According to a recent survey, more than 85% of drug users relapse back into drugs use within a year of leaving rehab. Researchers estimate that more than 2/3 of individuals in recovery relapse within weeks to months of beginning addiction treatment. These drug relapse statistics are so discouraging because there is no solid plan put in place to remain sober after leaving rehabilitation centres successfully. Most users are enticed by the prospect of being outside the strict regime of rehab and in the outside world where the drugs are readily available.
