Description
Addictive States of Mind explores the complexities of severe and complex addictions. A graphic account reveals the multiple problems faced by individuals with severe drug addiction, including physical, psychological, social, financial challenges.
The personal history of trauma and abuse is often a significant factor in these cases, requiring highly skilled and sensitive management from healthcare professionals. The book highlights the importance of treating each individual as unique, respecting their lifestyle, and providing proper pain control to help them overcome the barrier of shame that may lead to information being withheld.
Collaboration between staff members is crucial in containing challenging patients and helping them turn a corner towards recovery. This book conveys the need for healthcare professionals to be knowledgeable but not omniscient, and to approach each patient with empathy and understanding.
