Vancouver, BC – Addiction and obsessive thinking and how families can cope by Options Okanagan Treatment Center in Kelowna, British Columbia treating Opiate addiction and recovery.
Addiction is something that can be fueled by obsession – drug addicts are always thinking about where and when they will get their next hit. But one thing that people do not really think about is how those who are close to an addict behave. Often, an addict’s partner or parent can find themselves obsessing over the way that their loved one behaves. They want to control the addict to make sure that they don’t relapse. This battle for control can do more harm than good.
When you are spending a lot of time worrying about every small act, it creates a negative environment for everyone. It is not nice spending every moment trying to think about the worst thing that could happen. There is no need to assume that if the addict is late home from work, it’s because they’re buying drugs. The police car driving past does not necessarily have your underage son in it – they aren’t guaranteed to have gone out drinking again – and assuming so will make them resent you if they were being responsible today. Drug addicts, alcoholics and others with addiction issues do not want to have their lives under permanent scrutiny. When they are always being watched they tend to feel overwhelmed – as if the people in their lives are just waiting for them to slip up. This is not healthy, and it is not going to help them to recover and get back to a normal life. It is also not healthy for the family members.
Support From and For Everyone
Rather than feeding the addiction cycle in this way, it is much better for all concerned if the addiction is handled in a more relaxed way. Medical professionals and therapeutic professionals should be used for support for everyone and they can give family members information about the best way to cope. Because the family participates knowingly or unknowingly and communicates with their loved ones, supporting them if things do go wrong.
