May 22nd 2010 A Young Female Needs Treatment for Her Manic Depression, For Her Drug Dependency and Alcoholism, and For Her Relationship and Dating Difficulties

Approximately two months ago I met a twenty-five-year-old woman named Rachael who is manic depressive and who is also dependent on alcohol and drugs. I remember reading that in such situations, a person needs to get treatment for both medical situations and that mental health issues and addiction commonly take place in the same person. Additionally, I recollect reading that a history of excessive and unhealthy drinking, drug abuse, and/or mental health problems quite often occur in the same family.

Evidently, Rachael is so dejected by both of her medical conditions and her dating and relationship difficulties that she in effect has little or no drive to complete much of anything. What is particularly unfortunate about this is that earlier in her life, Rachael managed to complete two-and-a-half years of college. Rachael’s situation makes me wonder if she is an example of a person who has to hit the bottom of the barrel before he or she gets alcohol and drug dependency counseling that leads to lasting recovery.

The Need For a Doctor She Trusts and a Rehab Protocol She Can Believe In

If I were in communication with Rachael I could recommend quite a few websites and blogs that could possibly help her learn more about addiction and alcoholic behavior, significant substance abuse information, facts about alcoholism and drugs, information about addiction symptoms and alcoholism warning signs, and relationship info. In my honest opinion, nevertheless, Rachael needs to locate a physician she trusts and a rehab regimen she can believe in and follow over the long haul. I could be incorrect but it seems to me that Rachael more likely than not needs to accept the fact that she cannot drink in moderation or abuse drugs if she wants to get sober, remain sober, and start on the path to long-lasting recovery.

I am mindful that there are several newly produced doctor-prescribed drugs that can help Rachael through the alcohol and drug detoxification process, through her withdrawal symptoms, and help her avoid an alcohol or a drug relapse. Clearly it would be in Rachael’s best interests if she became familiar with these drugs.

It seems clear that Rachael needs to admit the fact that there is utterly nothing healthy about excessive and unhealthy drinking and substance abuse and that messing around with one or both situations is the path to poor work and school performance, shattered relationships, legal problems, financial difficulties, a premature death, and deteriorating health.

The Importance of Support Groups Like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous

There are reasonably numerous persons such as family members, friends, and other individuals who would want to help Rachael but she more likely than not would experience greater tolerance from a recovery group such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous rather than listening to people who drink just a few times per year or who have never taken drugs.

When Individuals Do Things They Love and About Which They Are Ardent

There’s a philosophical viewpoint that contends that people who do things they like and something about which they are zealous reach a breathtaking place in life. Stated more clearly, when people do what they enjoy, they almost never go through boredom or an uneventful life. If they involve themselves in something that is satisfying, what is more, they become more whole and experience more happiness and delight in life and in their relationships.

To me, this sounds like the exact opposite of a life that is grounded in alcohol and drug dependency because such a lifestyle removes the gratification and joy that life has to offer.

Because Rachael doesn’t have the grit to do much of anything in her life, it is evident that she urgently needs a little bit of hope for a better lifestyle. And the sad thing is that hope is virtually everywhere around Rachael if she could only get to the point in life to get the treatment she needs for her bipolar illness and alcohol dependency and drug addiction and adhere to her treatment program.

More Positive Relationships, Productive Change, Self Respect, and a Wonderful Life Are Possibilities

Rachael is simply too young to be overwhelmed in life. She doesn’t realize this right now but if she can learn how to abstain from alcohol and drugs through drug and alcohol rehabilitation and get the treatment she needs for her mental health condition, she can turn her life around and start living with direction, passion, and with self-respect.

Better relationships, a wonderful life, self respect, and positive change are certainly a reality for Rachael if only she could become inspired to get the professional rehab she needs, follow through with her therapy protocol, live her life in a sober and healthy manner, and acquire a more positive attitude about her life.
