Addiction Science Viewed Through Patient Lens

The Latin word "addictus," which meaning to dedicate and sacrifice, is where the word addiction originates. It is an enduring illness that falls under several categories, including genetic, peer-pressure, depression, and socioeconomic. In other words, solving the issue is not as simple as it may seem in order to identify a long-term procedure. Understanding these problems leads to alternative strategies: the reasons and mechanisms behind it, the frequency of individuals who, deliberately or unknowingly, fall into the fatal trap repeatedly even after receiving multiple treatments. Researchers created their own survey questionnaire, which covers sociodemographic information about individuals who suffer from addiction or have seen several relapses, in an effort to determine the underlying causes of addiction. Data were gathered from several regions in West Bengal and Northeast India, and the method of purposive random sampling was implemented. 50 sample members, ages 15 to 19, were examined using graphical analysis and statistical techniques. Addiction and relapse have been linked to a number of variables, including availability, overindulgence, peer pressure, and socioeconomic status. We can conclude by saying that an addict's mind is never static because it is extremely conflicted, erratic in its thinking, full of rage and other emotions, and it moves from spiritual bankruptcy to values being taught, from pain and crisis to happiness toward a settled life from the edges to the meadows after the rehabilitation process.
