Believe me, if you notice any of these symptoms, the man himself won't be back, the addiction has had over him. So take the following recommendations into consideration and take if necessary!
A visit to the psychiatrist
This must be done first things first. Whether to resist dependent? It is very likely, because many patients flatly refuse to admit even to yourself, they "sit" on drugs. Don't give up! If you withdraw, sign the man's death sentence.
You should talk to him, to tell, what will be the fate of any addict. The psychiatrist makes no sense to go empty handed, therefore, before you visit a doctor to be examined – to be tested (blood and urine), to analyze the condition of internal organs. If a person uses drugs long, you should do chest x-rays (for the detection of tuberculosis) and MRI (to learn, damaged brain as a result of drug use).
If the patient is suspected AIDS or hepatitis, it is also need to know before visiting the psychiatrist. Detrimental and destructive effect on the human body drugs. The treatment in this case is difficult to carry out at home. The dependent person is difficult to do without specialist. Actually talking about hospitalization is not necessary.

The difference is that, what medical centers are actively using a variety of drugs, to make life easier for the patient, if withdrawal symptoms are strong, you can give the patient a small amount of opium to reduce the pain from withdrawal.
Charitable organizations do not use any medicines, because I think, that the patient can cope with the disease. Instead, such institutions apply occupational therapy. This is usually quite simple work, feasible for every cleaning, construction, gardening. Monotonous work is able to enter in trance, a kind of meditative state, and closer to God. Treatment of drug addicts in the hospital makes it more likely that, that the person after treatment to change for the better and abandon the mind-numbing drugs.
The first stage of addiction treatment
This is a necessary stage in the liberation of man from the disease. Patients often make the same mistake – feeling, that they do not experience cravings, consider yourself cured and free. These people leave the institution, where he received treatment.. break week-second. It's not surprising.

In fact, and going – without the toxins in the form of preparations, human organs rapidly begin to get rid of all the accumulated poisons (this is breaking), then begin to renew themselves. Special assistance is needed only in the case, if the patient in addition to drug addiction also ill other diseases (AIDS, cirrhosis, hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases).
The second stage is deliverance from the psychological thrust
This step is an integral part of the treatment. Without it, people quickly return to their old habits. Of course, treatment this stage can be called only conditionally. Dependent not on any meds, but it is a lot of talking – with the same patients, with those, who have already successfully overcame the disease, psychologists.
