Among the many types of addictions, drug addiction is the most terrible disease. The period when a person experiences “heavenly pleasure” under the influence of certain chemical substances is short. In the future, regular drug use leads to the restructuring of metabolic processes, dysfunction of internal organs. In the absence of the next dose of the substance, the drug addict experiences severe physical torment.

Causes of drug addiction
Causes of drug addiction
Drug addiction develops for various reasons. They can be divided into 3 groups:
social;
psychological;
physiological.
Man is a social being. All his life he strives to find his place in society, to be recognized in it. Communication with peers is the leading activity of teenagers. A young person, being in an environment where drugs are used, will definitely want to try them. The low-quality film industry and social networks have a huge influence on immature consciousness. Television is full of hidden propaganda of immoral behavior. It is important for parents to know who their child communicates with, what he is interested in, what films he watches.
Strength of character, self-confidence, a conscious attitude towards one’s health and life are signs of a self-sufficient person. Family education should be aimed at this. The psychological causes of drug addiction include:
dissatisfaction with oneself;
immaturity;
irresponsibility;
lack of life interests, favorite activities;
childhood psychological trauma;
internal conflicts.
Heredity is the main physiological cause of drug addiction. A child whose parents suffered from addiction has a disrupted production of “happiness hormones”: serotonin , dopamine , endorphins . He suffers from frequent depression, is prone to stress, and has a high level of anxiety.

The medical center for drug addicts in Odessa , studying families in which members suffer from drug addiction, often records the effect of codependency. This effect is understood as stereotypical behavior, when relatives try to control any aspect of the addict’s life, and his problems are experienced deeper than their own.
Signs of codependency:
· Total control over the addict’s life. The motivation for this: the more I control his behavior, the less likely he is to find a fix. This is a mistake. The addict will always find a way to get a new fix;
· Increased anxiety;
· An unconscious feeling of fear;
· Severe nervous tension;
· Suppressed feelings of guilt;
· Loss of interest in everything that goes beyond the fear zone. Family members of the addict become uninterested in their work, acquaintances and friends. They do not allow themselves to rest and distract themselves from their problem.
Overprotection of a relative suffering from drug addiction leads to nothing but ever-increasing irritation. The patient feels completely unfree, because his codependent relatives control his every step. Sooner or later, the patient suffers a nervous breakdown with the most unpredictable consequences.
Why does codependency occur and how to overcome it?
When relatives first learn about the terrible diagnosis of drug addiction, they experience a whole range of negative feelings. This is anger, shame, guilt, resentment towards life, shame in front of others. But these feelings quickly burn out or are driven into the subconscious. They are replaced by vigorous activity aimed at getting rid of drug addiction. But this activity quickly comes down to total control over the addict’s life. Moreover, family members are absolutely sure that this strategy is the only correct one, and only it is capable of curing drug addiction.
Family members who are subject to the codependency effect refuse to see the fallacy and even harmfulness of their strategy. But in fact, overprotection only worsens the problem of drug addiction. The patient, feeling like a weak-willed puppet in the hands of loving relatives, loses all motivation to get rid of drug addiction. Infantile traits begin to dominate in him – weakness of will, capriciousness, justification of oneself in any situation, etc. Drug addiction treatment under such conditions it becomes extremely ineffective.
Family members who are subject to the codependency effect must understand that they also need psychological help. Depending on the depth of the problem, help is provided by a psychotherapist or psychiatrist. He should help:
· Set new boundaries in the family;
· Learn to look at yourself from the outside;
· Do not hide the truth from yourself or from others;
· Don’t be afraid to ask for help from loved ones and friends;
· Remember about yourself, your needs and desires. With the overcoming of the effect of codependency, family members remember about rest, entertainment, going to the cinema, etc.;
· Soberly assess the current situation and correctly plan a way out of it;
· Recognize and resist manipulation;
· Not to make the patient’s life easier, but to actively help him overcome difficult life situations.
How to motivate a drug addict to seek treatment?
Drug addiction treatment center sets the main task of establishing a trusting relationship with the drug addict, convincing him that the problem of drug addiction is, in principle, solvable. Moreover, solvable by the drug addict himself. Often, such a position causes a negative reaction from the relatives and friends of drug addicts. After all, they believe that the drug addict cannot cope with his problem on his own.
Conditions for conducting psychological intervention:
· The patient should not be in a period of high or withdrawal;
· Communication can take place face to face or in the presence of relatives;
· Communication is not limited in time and can last the whole day;
· The use of physical force is strictly prohibited;
· The patient’s background is always taken into account – his social circle, the patient’s social status and psychological characteristics, living conditions, etc.
