Why do Addicts fail to quit drugs even after treatment?


I always ask two questions from patients who come for the treatment of addiction.

First, have they got any treatment before? The answer is yes. After wasting so much money, taking many medicines the patients fail to quit drugs.

The second question I ask is if they understand the disease of addiction. The answer is no.

Let’s talk about the disease and why the addict can’t live a sober life even after the treatment.

What is Addiction?

You can’t treat addiction until you understand that it’s not a physical disease. It’s a brain disease.

Addiction affects the main parts of the brain, like the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, Hippocampus. It affects the thinking power of the patient, and they can not stop themselves from taking drugs.



The main reason for not being able to quit drugs

To treat addiction, we should focus on the brain side of the patient rather than the physical side. People waste their money and time trying to treat the physical conditions of the patient. After the detoxification process and taking some medication. The patient feels like he is now addiction-free. But as the patient goes back home and stops taking medication. It becomes difficult to stop thinking about drugs and starts retaking drugs.  



 HOW WE TREAT THE BRAIN 

“Brain Energy Stimulant Treatment” is a program to treat the brain of addicts.

First, we take several tests to know the stage of the patient’s disease. Based on the reports, we start the treatment and layout the structure of the program.

At the first stage, we detoxify the body of the patient within 6 to 12 hours.

Next, we treat the brain part of the patient with several counseling and therapy sessions. The patient starts feeling well. The patient no longer feels the need for drugs or alcohol.

Brain therapy helps the patient to overcome the disease. It helps to develop the mindset of achievement, progression in life, and live a sober life with his family.
