Whether Rehabilitation still to be an effective solution for Addiction?

Some people who are addicted to sometimes have to undergo repeated rehabilitation in order to be free from addiction. If so, is rehabilitation to be a good solution to overcome addiction?

Actually there is no general difference in overcoming addiction, the important thing is the approach to determine what the needs of patients. Most addiction experienced by communities need pharmacological help to overcome them.

"I do not believe that the traditional rehabilitation using the method of self healing (self-help) would be effective," says Bankole Johnson, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, as quoted from Scientificamerican, Tuesday (07/26/2011) .

Johnson said that to find out what works for rehabilitation of a patient, then it must be known in advance the profile of these patients so that it can be determined what is necessary rehabilitation techniques such as psychological and medical patients.

Generally in the rehabilitation of an addict will receive various therapies as a combination that includes behavioral interventions, cognitive therapy, therapy that involves the family and people around the patient.

"In some patients sometimes also requires an approach or a pharmacological drugs in the rehabilitation process, therefore it is important to know the profile of the patient's own," he said.

Some types of addictions such as alcohol is influenced by genetic factors. But that does not mean someone can not escape from addiction to alcohol. If therapy is appropriate given the rehabilitation process will be effective.

The key in determining the success of rehabilitation for addiction is needed motivation from within themselves for free as well as compliance in undergoing the rehabilitation process. In addition the surrounding environment also supports so that he will not fall again.

"When a patient is aware of it, then she lived rehabilitation can provide optimal results and it is free from addiction," said Johnson.
