Inner Voice 1- Healing Centre

Hope trust - Healing Centre

This article is based on my interaction with a Person-A & very close to me currently in the Healing Centre- A drug Rehabilition Centre & some research.

Person 1
A 29 year old, a reserved gentleman, a brown sugar drug addict since the age of 21. Intially took drugs for fun, gradually got addicted to it. Due to drug addiction he wasnt able to graduate. He fellow friends moved on with their lives.He cannot recover from the damage caused to his life due to addiction. Its been 2 weeks he has been in the rehab, he still feels aimless.

Person 2
A 30-35 year old, married with a child. A drug addict, his history- Broken Love, his version his hopes, dreams died eversince he was forced to marry elsewhere. Now a loner, very reserved, was forcibly left at the rehab he has no aim and no intention to survive or live.

Person 3
A 19 year old student pursuing engineering from a top-notch engineering college. Tried drugs for fun, got addicted , his parents realized his early symptoms and today in some days he will be going home.

Unlike the above three, Person 4- A 23 year old, only child of a rich businessman died due to brain haemorrage due to drug overdose, he too felt he led an aimless life. Sad but true !!

Interestingly most the people at the healing centres are indiviuals who feel or felt majorly dejected, stresses, lonely at various phases of life. On meeting the family members of Person -A, i felt grief, in the real sense addiction is a family disease.

I have seen his parents cry, curse themselves, feeling guilty all the time, sucidical tendency. In short -very de-stable.The family memebers of the addicts go through an emotional roller coaster which is never ending.
As the problem increased of the addicts the family becomes more emotionally ill, suppressed, isolated, having sucidial tendency.The family members experience- Guilt, shame, grief, anger,denial, low self worth,humiliated, terrible loneliness.

Person A is currently in The Healing Centre- has special therapy sessions & various communication courses. These courses focus on making the indiviual- share experiences, find out root problems, improve on self worth,be acceptable to self& the world,disciplined ( not to take life and people for granted).

Along with the therapy sessions of the indiviual there are certain counseling sessions, pshyco-therapy sessions, family therapy sessions too. There are certain detox processes involved in the healing process- all of which have withdrawal symptoms- it is quite shocking to see an indiviual in that stage.although the detox stages are notably maintained specifically but it is the emotional detox which is the most difficult as it takes considerable to chnage the emotional health of a person.
Person A is currently in a long term treatment course, this can vary from 4-5 months to mor than a year depending on the healing up stage of the person.

What i found by interaction & reserach is - these treatment sessions focus on examine damaged emotional state, re-build self worth, self belief & concepts, adaptability to living again in the external environment,ability & strength to face the world again, behaviorial patterns, interaction with others & accept oneself.

During the initial of the course it is required to be determine the extend of the addiction of the indiviual based on which certain therpaies & counseling sessions are formed. This is again important as this is very delicate & the indiviual is very defensive.The recovery procedure at the Healing Centre is to unlearn a habit,to willing work out a solution, Recovery it is to be stable in one's life long after the treatment too.
Another fact Person A has been in the Healing Centre for the third time. I alway pray I see the same Person A whom i knew eversince i was a kid.

Sometimes I really think, there have been various stages in our lives when we feel worth less & seek a helping hand. This could be due to a drug problem or emotional problem, In fact we all need is a HEALING TOUCH- Ek pyar ki jhappi !!
