Substance Addictions

As with other addictive and compulsive illnesses, the alcoholic is understood to have a genetically inherited defect in the neurotransmission system that causes a disturbance in their basic level of mood. Environmental factors and incidences of emotional trauma sensitise the neurological defect initiating a craving for a substance that will relieve their emotional discomfort.

The alcoholic, or alcohol dependent individual, may display a strong denial of the extent and nature of their problems, maintaining a steadfast belief that they can stop drinking whenever they want to, despite strong evidence to the contrary.

The majority of alcoholic individuals will need outside assistance to recover from their disease, but here at Montrose Place we have seen first hand that, with the right support and treatment, many individuals are able to stop drinking and rebuild their lives.

It is generally accepted that chemical dependence comes about via a complex combination of genetic, environmental and psychological factors. Nearly all chemically dependent individuals initially maintain a steadfast belief that they can stop using a particular substance on their own, despite evidence to the contrary.

Research has shown that long-term substance use results in significant changes in brain function. These changes persist long after the individual stops using.

The psychological stress of detoxification, coupled with this neurological change, may help explain the individual’s difficulty in achieving and maintaining abstinence without residential treatment.
