Crack Abuse: 5 Golden Rules to Ending Crack Abuse

Can you get through to a crack user and help them free themselves from their own trap?

Why don’t crack abusers simply listen to common sense and stop lying all the time? Do they know what their doing? Crack abuse is an elaborate and complex trap, here is how you can help another recognize it and break free from addiction.

The 5 Golden Rules of Ending Crack Abuse

Help them reconnect with their own reality. Getting them to see how their actions affect those who loved them, is a huge step toward rehab. But be ready to offer them a ticket for recovery
Get them to confront their own illusions and dreams. The drug abuser is hiding within their own illusions. Helping them find real ways to achieve their goals is the first step into reality
Ask them how often they think or dream about using. They have to take control of their thoughts again and end their obsession and compulsions to use
Drug residues lodge deeply in the brain. Ending their cravings for cocaine means getting those drug residues fully out of their bodies. Drug residuals don’t leave on their own
Getting on a path that returns them to take personal responsibility without caving them in with the weight of obligation. All recovery is done step by step. Do you know how to navigate another out of addiction?

Getting another to end their drug abuse works better when no opinions are entered into the recovery plan. Warning, the following do not work. Giving them more drugs; excusing their behavior; waiting for them to overcome their addiction on their own. Abusers will need help overcoming their problems. Here are the facts.

Crack abusers have to overcome 3 major barriers.

1. Drug cravings; 2. Guilt; 3. Depression

Remember they need help to work out their recovery and overcome their cravings, guilt and depression.

Drug abuse lowers awareness and lowers natural abilities. That’s why recovery can be difficult. A drug abuser has to increase their abilities to overcome their abuse problems.

Crack Cocaine Abuse doesn’t have to be a one way road to loss of family trust, insanity, criminality and finally death. If you have a loved one who has been overcome by crack and has abused the drug, there is something that should be done to end the cycle of addiction.

Many cocaine abusers believe they are in control and can handle it by themselves. This overconfident attitude is a cocaine side effect – it’s a delusion created by smoking crack. We call it denial.

Crack Abuse Causes Denial Problems

artificial feelings of self confidence
elevated stress
burnout of adrenal glands creating tiredness and weakness
nervous hysteria
drug induced temporary toxic psychosis

How does one breakthrough those barriers to recovery?

First, helping another overcome crack addiction is done by understanding why drug abusers resist help: it’s because they don’t have a better solution to their problems. They think because they don’t have a better solution, no one else could either. They don’t realize they lack skills and knowledge — that’s why they are now abusing. Drug abusers need to gain more skill and effectiveness.

Drugs Do Two Things

Hide problems from people
Cut short perception of reality

For example, a person who has a headache either doesn’t want to feel the headache or not allow the headache to affect them. Usually people try to forget about it, don’t think about it, do something else, etc. In this example of a person having a headache, they are simply trying to not experience the headache. The drug, let’s say aspirin, doesn’t cure the headache.

Now, compare aspirin to crack abuse and you’ve got the similar results of an atomic bomb in your living room leaking radioactive material into the house. That’s the effect of a crack abuser on his or her family.

Drugs reduce awareness, Drugs increase delusion

When helping another overcome crack abuse, you’ve got to realize that they aren’t really tracking with reality – no matter what they say or seem to be like. A person regularly abusing drugs will have other things going on in their minds in addition to everyday situations. They either don’t face factors in their lives or alter the importance of situations.

How do you know when they are recovering for real When they start to own and control situations in life and take responsibility for their own actions, they begin reclaiming their life. There is a road out, they don’t know what it is, you’ll have to help them find that road.
