Experts of addiction are commonly physicians with certificates in medicine and psychiatry as well as advanced training in addiction-related courses. These professionals have extensive experience in dealing with addiction, having spent years treating and counseling addicts. Many have specialized in certain types of addiction, while others have inter-disciplinary training to address a wide variety of causes and treatment. Several maintain clinics in treatment centers or have grouped together to open a center for addiction recovery, such as Hawaii Island Recoverys Big Island Rehab.

While hiring experts can be an expensive proposition, there is a much higher chance that the treatment will be successful after only one attempt, while self-treatment will only likely to succumb to relapse. A licensed physician will also know the correct dosages of the required medication to wean addicts off their chosen substance or remove the physical effects of withdrawal. Experts will have the experience to determine if a treatment method is working and can modify the procedure to adjust for any unexpected consequences. They may also provide a holistic approach to addiction treatment, such as providing a haven that will provide full care around the clock and a program that guides the addict from admission to post-recovery.

Such a thorough approach is much better than a piecemeal treatment that may achieve success in certain areas but completely neglect other aspects, creating an opportunity for relapse. Hiring a state-sponsored treatment center or low-level therapist may fit the budget, but they haven’t gone into further research and development for new approaches to addiction therapy.

However, patients should also be responsible for their own welfare and research as much as they can about their treatment method. They can ask about certain steps and clarify uncertain aspects or have a loved one ask for them. Addicts should also be wary about so-called experts who regularly on TV to foster their opinions. Unscrupulous experts may also insist in giving addicts for the full treatment which can amount into hundred thousands of dollars, even though the patient can recover with minimal treatment. Such professionals only want to fund their facilities with unsuspecting families who are willing to do anything for their loved one to recover.

Choosing the right addiction expert takes some research. Use online resources to look for professionals and treatment centers in the area. Look for those whose specialties lie in the relevant addiction. Do a background check on them and look for comments from past patients and opinions of them from their peers. Peruse through their official website or account and review their old publications and articles or any videos about them; reading their FAQ page can also answer a great deal of questions about whether the treatment in question is the right one for the addict.

Another way to look for experts is to talk to former addicts who have undergone successful treatment. You can look up such individuals online among forums dedicated to fighting addiction. These former addicts may want to recommend the expert or facility, which assisted in their recovery. They may also describe in detail about the nature of the treatment and the attitude and competence of the professional in charge of the program. Families of addicts may also encounter other patients during their personal struggle, who may offer support by comparing notes about the experts they approached and the success in treatment they attained.

Set an interview with them and ask any questions about their methods and preferred treatments, as well as fees and levels of success. An expert may want to analyze an addict before admitting him into treatment. Schedule an appointment then allow the two to spend several hours together. Review the expert’s recommendation afterwards. Avoid experts with questionable performances, unless every other professional has been unsuccessful with the treatment of the addict. There are also some experts who tout radical new viewpoints and approaches to addiction and may achieve certain success to addicts with repeated relapses.

There are also experts who can provide counseling for family members of the addict. These professionals can guide families who have been burdened financially and emotionally by caring for an addict to getting back some semblance of normalcy in their lives. They can provide family counseling and arrange group therapy with similarly devastated families.

Experts can also offer alternative ways to provide treatment and counsel for victims of addiction. Several of them have written books that provide guidelines for detecting signs of addiction, as well as steps to address the early stages. A book can also detail what to expect as the addiction progresses, as well as various methods for treatment it and post-recovery activities. This will allow addicts to be prepared when they volunteer to attend the treatment center of the expert. There are also certain experts who are able to recognize new forms of addiction, such as video games and online chatting, and are willing to treat sufferers with innovative new forms of treatment.

Experts of addiction have a statistically greater chance of success when treating addicts, but the chances are even better when the addict is willing to abandon his vice. Confront the addict with his problem and stage an intervention, if necessary. An expert may also recommend that an early addict may not need to undergo extensive treatment in order to recover and suggest that more affordable therapy is all that is required. However, it may be necessary to seek financial aid when it comes to treating a loved one afflicted with addiction, whether by debt of the kindness of loved ones.

The economic status of the family will take immediate effects of addiction on family members. An addicted offspring will usually steal money from the parents to fuel his addiction and will pawn off equipment and jewelry in the house, as well. An addicted parent can even do worse damage, and may lose his job in pursuit of the addiction or go heavily into debt. The loss of income will affect everyone in the household. An addict can also engage in criminal or violent activities and be incarcerated by authorities, and his family will have to pay for his legal defense as well as restitution to victims of his activities.  Should the family decide to send the addict to a treatment center, the expense in paying for the medication, lodging and professional counseling can quickly run through the family savings and plunge the family further into debt. Finally, a burned-out addict who has lost to function in society will be unable to work or continue studying and will become a burden to the primary income generators as well as any other working members. The family can seek the financial help of the extended clan in order to lighten the economic burden of caring for an addict.

Another effect of addiction is the social aspect. Peers for the parents, children and siblings of addicts may sneer at their misfortune of their stigma. Victims of criminal and violent activity from the addict will persecute the family for their role. Former friends and colleagues of the addict will feel hurt by being excluded and stay away from the rest of his family, as well. The loss of economic status resulting from the addiction and treatment will also prevent members of the family from joining their usual social gatherings, further excluding them from the community. By diverting financial resources to treatment, the children may have to resort to inferior equipment and belongings, which will be a target of ridicule from cruel schoolmates. There is also the loss of face that will prevent members from interacting with their peers in the regular manner.

Finally, the effects of addiction on family members can cause them to abandon each other. There is a loss of trust that is especially felt by the younger members, who were raised to trust the judgment and wisdom of their elders in order to develop as members of the greater community. When the addict is a parent, the lies and deception used to cover the addiction and maintain moral authority over the children can hurt and confuse the children, resulting in an unstable home environment. Such loss of trust at an early age will affect their relationships outside the family. The seed of distrust can dissuade the formation of intimacy with other people and harm their chances with marriage and a family of their own. The overwhelming attention of the healthy spouse towards the treatment of the addict will also cause a lack of attention for the children, which can lead to lack of self-worth and improper development.

When the addict is an offspring, parents can turn on each other and start blaming one another for the way their child has turned out. Their attention will be drawn away from their other children, who will resent their addicted sibling for his irresponsibility. They may also reason that being good does not result in getting as much attention as being bad and may turn delinquent as well to regain time and effort from the parents. In the worst case scenario, parents will divorce due to the stresses brought on by addiction, and the children will become emotionally stunted from the experience. Members will turn away from each other and seek comfort with friends, reinforcing the breakdown of the family. Worse yet, an addict may turn violent and seek to harm vulnerable members of the family, or invite unsavory characters into the house that may injure the existing residents. Children may have to be sent away to relatives to avoid their exposure to this new harmful environment. All this can confuse them further and will learn to shy away from intimacy for fear of being hurt again.

To combat the isolating effects of addiction for family members, the group can take initiative and work together to intervene on the addict’s behalf. They can arrange a get-together of extended family, colleagues, loved ones and friends to make the addict realize the existence and severity of his condition as well as their support for his treatment. By including the younger members of the family in the treatment, they won’t feel left out and suffer psychologically for it. The family can also seek counseling as a group to reinforce their ties and work as a unit to assist their less-fortunate member. Providing support will also help the addict combat the influence of his addicted friends and prevent his from relapsing to his addiction, as well as monitor his recovery and any sign of reverting back to old, harmful habits. Finally, by having a family welcome a former addict after his stay in a treatment facility such as Hawaii Island Recovery’s Big Island Recovery Center, the latter can glimpse at a glimmer of hope that the worst days of his life is truly over and he can proceed with making the best of his new life together with those who loves him.

The history of caffeine can be traced back to ancient Arabia, when legend has it that a goatherd observed several of his goats acting frisky after consuming a number of berries. When he tried them himself, he felt stimulated and full of energy. Caffeine consumption then spread to Eurasia and Europe, where outdoor coffee drinking was popularized to fight the cold as well as liven up social discussions. Today, the effects of caffeine help shake people from the grip of sleep, increase alertness and work performance as well as fight fatigue and grogginess. Cafes such as Starbucks contribute to the billion dollar coffee industry by setting up branches around the world and selling premium coffee to employees, executives, entrepreneurs and coffee aficionados. Further sources of caffeine include cola drinks, energy drinks, food and drug products, such as pain killers.

Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system, reaching the bloodstream within half an hour upon consumption and increasing stress hormones in the process. Caffeine also affects the dopamine levels in the body the same way that cocaine, heroine and amphetamines do, as well as binds to adenosine receptors, increasing the rate of neuron firing in the brain. While the occasional cup of coffee has no lasting ill effects, some individuals are susceptible to excess caffeine use, drinking too much coffee to stay awake in the morning and thus being unable to sleep at night. The body’s natural stimulants, stemming from the thyroid and adrenal glands, will work improperly with the interruptive influence of caffeine metabolism, increasing dependency on this substance. This lack of sleep will cause grogginess the next day, and cause sufferers to drink more coffee to stay awake.

Caffeine addiction is known to cause erratic sleep cycles and disruption in the digestive and nervous systems, heart and muscles. It is also linked to rapid heartbeats, loss of fine muscle control, dizziness, high blood pressure, tremors and insomnia, while creating nutrient deficiencies such as Vitamin B and the improper metabolism of iron. The health effects of caffeine in large amounts include ulcers, heart burn, heart disease and cancer. Postmenopausal women can also experience pains caused by mineral loss, especially calcium in the bones, while pregnant and nursing women are suggested that they avoid caffeine as this will work its way to infants, negatively affecting their development. Children can also miss out on essential nutrients and overdose on caffeine from soft drinks and energy drinks, stunting their development.

To overcome caffeine addiction, professional therapy or visits to a treatment center is not necessary, except for extreme cases. However, complete caffeine withdrawal is not recommended, as it will cause disruption of lifestyle with the advent of headaches and fatigue, affecting work performance and causing additional stress. Sudden caffeine withdrawal symptoms can also include mental problems such as nervousness, nausea, feeling hot and cold and anxiety. It is better to gradually withdraw from caffeine; for example, from the usual five cups of coffee a day, intake for a caffeine addict should be reduced to four cups for a few weeks, then reduced further by one cup every few weeks. Switching to decaf or other coffee alternatives such as herbal tea can also help addicts ease into a reduced caffeine lifestyle. Products with caffeine in their content, such as certain sodas, energy drinks and painkillers, should also be avoided and substituted with caffeine-free beverages as indicated in their nutrition labels.

To assist in weaning off caffeine, a diet rich in alkaline forming foods is helpful. A high amount of vegetables, whole grains, nuts and fresh fruits is recommended for caffeine addicts who want to give up the lifestyle. To prevent the onset of constipation, consume at least six glasses of pure water every day. Try also avoiding sugar and sugar-rich food, as caffeine addiction will cause sufferers to eat more sugar than suggested. Certain vitamins such as B and C will assist the adrenal glands in producing natural stimulants, while two grams of amino acid L-Glutamine can lower cravings for sugar and caffeine. Treatment for caffeine addiction can also be encouraged by support from friends and loved ones. Such an action will help an addict overcome the more difficult portions of his withdrawal and draw strength for his continued fight against caffeine abuse.

Treatment centers for caffeine addiction exist, but it is unclear which therapies work to combat the symptoms and provide long-term effectiveness. Some treatments are traditional in nature and linked to other drug therapies, such as hypnosis, support groups and counseling. There are also online support groups for caffeine addicts, with some offering anonymity for sufferers who wish to avoid the stigma of addiction for something perceived as minor a drug as caffeine. These groups provide tips for daily resistance of caffeine addiction, updated lists of products, which contain caffeine, and comfort for a disorder that receives little sympathy from the general populace.

Finally, caffeine addiction can indicate an underlying problem that must be confronted. Some jobs, especially those with long hours and night shifts, require staying up and fighting fatigue. Such a source of stress will only encourage a former caffeine addict to switch to another substance for stimulation, such as nicotine, or even worse, amphetamines. One way to completely remove caffeine dependency is to switch careers that offer more time to relax, unwind and have a good night’s sleep, reducing the need for stimulation. The fight to overcome caffeine addiction is a long one, with gradual withdrawal becoming the key to avoiding painful symptoms and reestablishing the body’s own control over its natural stimulation.

Sober recovery is difficult because the client is now expected to make decisions for himself about his substance-free life, without outside therapy or medication. What makes it more difficult is that it occurs in the real world, where the addictive substance is as accessible as it was before the treatment program began, and the client is re-entering his normal life where he encountered the substance of his choice. Finally, sober recovery is a continuous process that will last for the rest of the client’s life as struggles to reject falling back into addiction.

The experience of post-treatment recovery is different for everyone. Some get through the day with plenty of support and love from their family and friends. Others have to make it by themselves as their addiction have ripped through their marriage and turned their kids into strangers. It is therefore useless to ask other former addicts and people in your support group what you can expect in your own sober recovery. Some former addicts may only have a slight run-in with addiction and will suffer only little, if at all. Others have been long-time serious cases with a traumatic background that caused them to seek comfort in vice. Still others may have recovered completely but have not address the mental issues behind the addiction and are as unstable as ever. Some have only undergone a treatment program once while others a recurring clients for years.

What are similar for all post-treatment individuals are bouts of depression during the initial stages of the recovery. Some are caused by the absence of the addictive substances in the system and are lingering, long-term withdrawal symptoms. Others are realizing the pain they have cause others and the destruction they caused themselves and are reeling from the shame, knowing the years they spent achieving their lifestyle disappeared within weeks during a substance high. Still others are symptoms of a deeper psychological issue that was the original cause of the addiction. Finally, depression can be cause by the loss or reduction of mental, physical or sensory component in the body that was caused by repeated exposure of the addictive chemicals in the brain and other organs. Whether slight or severe, depression can interfere with the recovery process and need to be addressed.

Another common malady is early post-recovery treatment is poor concentration. This is especially noticeable during attendance of group therapy, when individuals aren’t fully cooperating with the activities or responding to queries from others.

A good way to counteract the effects of depression and poor concentration is making an active effort in participating during group sessions. By distracting the brain from negative thoughts through active participation, the mind not only exercises the components involved in concentration but there is less build-up on negative energies in the system.  By also accepting these feelings as a normal part of recovery, former addicts can put their thoughts into making progress of their condition.

Another aspect of sober recovery is getting used to schedules. First of all, there are the 12-step meetings that occur daily, which takes getting used to after months of care-free living and weeks of disorienting treatment. The good news is that 12-step meetings are commonplace and occur regularly in many cities. Those who cannot physically attend meetings can go online and search for Web sessions.

There is also the need to search for a sponsor, a person who can assist during the transition to recovery. Part guide, part monitor and part information desk, a sponsor is a former addict who has successfully conquer his personal demons and is now willing to help others in their difficult journey. However close a client feels for his sponsor, he must remember that the latter is not his therapist, a certified expert in addiction recovery. Seeing a therapist is now also part of the regular schedule.

Scheduling all these different aspects of recovery can be made more difficult when the client has to re-insert himself to his old life and duties, which include family time and work. It is important to talk with the spouse about fitting in the schedules. Spend a few weeks modifying and polishing the schedule and how the meetings, sponsor and therapy fit in home life, work, recreation and other duties. Remember to ease into a full schedule slowly to avoid the stress and succumb into frustration and depression even further.

Recovery also means changing a previous lifestyle to avoid the temptations of falling back into addiction. That means that unsavory friends, places and habits must be abandoned in place of cleaner elements. Switch from bars and clubs to cafes and gyms for distractions. This will make it easier if the craving hits and there is no access to substances to assuage it. It will also make it harder to miss the old lifestyle and the happiness associated with it. There is also the danger of overconfidence, in which the ease of transition will lead to complacency. Skipping schedules, revisiting old habits and even a momentary lapse to substance abuse can all quickly descend to addiction once more. Recovery is all about never letting down the guard against relapse and weakness. Continue attending meetings, as the support they bring is crucial when facing crises.

There will be some moments that are worse than most, when the cravings are particularly acute, or when bad events happen and the urge to succumb is strong. When personal discipline fails during these moments, it is up to the sponsor and the group to provide strength to overcome these bad moments in life.

While therapy, sponsors, support groups and loved ones can make a great deal of difference throughout sober recovery, it is the person himself who has to make the decision to follow through with attending meetings, seeking counseling and avoiding temptation. Every day is a struggle and while relapsing and re-entering treatment is possible, the difficulty of repeating the process still exists. Remember to celebrate milestones of recovery, such as the first-year anniversary of clean living, with friends and family to reinforce the positive results of long periods of struggle and sacrifice. This will help by having to look forward to something after another year of recovery.

Moreover, SoberRecovery.com outlined questions to consider when choosing the right treatment facility. With these questions, you will be able to identify the right treatment program that best fits your personality and lifestyle.

•    Does the program recognize insurance policies? If not, are they willing to work out other payment options or find means to support you?

Financial support is definitely one of the most important considerations when choosing the treatment option. Treatment facilities that recognize insurance policies are definitely a plus and would be worth visiting. However, if they are willing to compromise by giving you support other than insurance, then by all means consider that treatment program.

•    Is the program headed by state-accredited, duly-recognized licensed professionals?

For a treatment facility to be effective in helping individuals recover, excellent licensed professionals who are duly-trained and recognized must head it. They should have the proper credentials and accreditations before they are able to practice their craft.

•    Do the program heads ensure organization, cleanliness and orderliness of its facilities?

Since most of rehabilitation programs require individuals to stay in the recovery facilities, it is very important that these facilities are clean, organized and well-maintained. These characteristics are significant indicators of how good a program is and how competent the recovery facility is.

•    Does the program provide holistic care to its clients?

Similar to many illnesses, there is no single therapy that can cure addiction. In this case, an effective treatment program should be able to address all the needs of the clients other than his substance abuse issues. Moreover, emotional, psychological and spiritual support should be given as well.

•    Does the treatment program address issues such as sexual orientation and physical disabilities and provides services sensitive to age, gender and culture?

A treatment program must recognize that all individuals are unique and that they have needs, which differ from one another. Therefore, the treatment programs should be age, gender and culture appropriate. Moreover, sexual orientation and physical disabilities should both be considered.

•    Is aftercare support and guidance provided by the program?

Complete abstinence is the definition of sobriety. Thus, a treatment program should be able to guide individuals to sobriety and not just a temporary stop from alcohol consumption. Even after the program has ended, the recovery center should still be able to provide assistance by means of referral to aftercare support groups.

•    Are treatment plans continuously evaluated to ensure its effectivity?

Treatment options should be flexible enough to address the changing needs of the clients. Once an individual has been able to attain a milestone towards attaining recovery, his recovery program should be adjusted to fit this achievement. Moreover, if a treatment plan progresses slowly, other options should be considered.

•    Does the treatment program motivate the individual to engage in long-term recovery?

Again, sobriety is the goal of all treatment programs. Thus, for a recovery plan to work out, it must be able to encourage its clients to participate in long-term options to ensure the success of the whole program. Moreover, it must have ways to ensure that clients do not engage in substance abuse again.

•    Does the program help clients reintegrate back into his community?

A lot of treatment programs are able to help substance abuse users to recover. However, after this has been achieved, the next objective would be to help these individuals return back to their communities and resume where their lives. Before these individuals are set free from the recovery centers, they should have enough capabilities to establish relationships that were once lost.

•    Is a medical treatment regimen part of the overall treatment program?

Like many other programs, treatment plans should always address the root of the problems. Although behavioral approaches are more accepted as treatment, there are instances in which a medical treatment regimen is more appropriate. Thus, to make a treatment plan effective, pharmacotherapeutic approaches should also be considered.

•    Is surveillance for possible relapse part of the program?

After clients are brought back into the community, the overall treatment program should still be involved in monitoring for incidence of relapses. Since abstinence is absolute, clients must adhere to a “No drinking” policy, even after he has left the treatment facility.

•    Are program services extended to family members as well?

Support groups are important in helping clients maintain their goals of sobriety. Thus, it is vital to inform significant others of the goals of the client. This will help greatly in reducing client’s exposure to temptations as well as increase his emotional stability.

These 12 questions are only some of the guides presented in SoberRecovery.com. If you are an addict looking for options please call Hawaii Island Recovery at 866-906-6911
