Neuro Emotional Technique and Substance Abuse

Neuro Emotional Technique and Substance Abuse

      Over the past few weeks, I have written quite a bit about Neuro Emotional Technique.  In this post, I want to discuss how using this technique can help those suffering  from substance abuse addictions and disorders.
  
       I have said for more than a decade that there are two types of drug users.  1.  The true addict you just enjoys getting high.   2.  The person who chases the high in order to temporarily forget the struggles and pain of life.  In almost 17 years of practice, I can honestly say that I can count on one hand how  many people are true addicts and just like to get high.    Everyone else is the second person.   If that is you, I encourage you to continue  reading.
 
          Traditional substance abuse or drug counseling works on the idea that addiction is a disease and the person needs a combination of education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a relatively new technique called Motivational Interviewing.  Reality is that the average person will enter rehab up to 10 times before they quit for good.  When we incorporate Neuro Emotional Technique into treatment, we first start with what stressors and trauma contributed to current drug addiction.  We will focus childhood traumas and stressors, current life situations, and finally the overall desire to quit and stay quit for good.  Once the stressors or in Neuro Emotional Technique lingo, Neuro Emotional Complexes are out of the way, we can then begin  traditional and standard treatment.  My belief is simple.  First we must remove the initial cause as to why a person is stuck in a particular thinking and/or behavior pattern. Then, and only then, do we begin to educate and help the person find ways to stay clean and sober.    Otherwise, it is kind of like brushing your teeth with a mouth full of Oreos.


Till next time,

My friend has been having a hard time with an addiction. It makes sense that getting the right kind of treatment could be really helpful for him! I'll make sure that he knows how beneficial getting properly educated about what's going on could be for him.

Rehabilitation is an important aspect of any treatment plan.

There are many types of rehabilitation services available, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

When choosing a rehabilitation facility, make sure to consider the following factors: The type of rehabilitation the patient will be receiving.

This can include physical, occupational, speech-language pathology, psychological, and pulmonary rehabilitation.

I love how you talk about how addiction recovery is a long and hard process. My partner's dad has been struggling with addiction and we want to help him. We've been looking into therapy and consultation for him to help him start his long hard journey.

I totally agree when you said that people using drugs would also want to escape from their struggles which is why they want to get high. Hopefully, there are treatments for pilot substance abuse out there that can be accessible to such people. With their help, their family can also be fixed and prevent having separation from their partners and kids.
