Although addiction and substance abuse are widespread, there are still many myths that dominate our cultural understandings of them. Some myths are related to stigma, while others are simply incorrect facts. Whatever the cause, coming to the Christ-centered truth of addiction can help bring freedom to your life.<\/p>\r\n

Often times, myths about drug and alcohol abuse come from the ways that movies, TV shows, and music depict them. But these depictions often cause more damage than good.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Getting to the Truth About Addiction<\/h2>\r\n \r\n

Ultimately, the knowledge and education surrounding addiction can make the difference in three main ways:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n \t
  1. \r\n
      \r\n \t
    1. A person\u2019s decisions<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Their view of themselves<\/li>\r\n \t
    3. Their understanding of how God views them<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      Below are four myths we address intended to help you untangle the misconceptions of substance abuse and addiction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      Myth #1: Addicts and Users Are Intrinsically Bad<\/h2>\r\n

      The myth that those suffering from addiction and substance abuse are bad people often comes from cultural stereotypes or inherited lies about themselves. For example, news outlets often portray addicts as intrinsically flawed criminals with no hope.<\/p>\r\n

      But what leads a person to substance abuse and addiction is made up of a complex combination of factors. These might include genetic predisposition, co-occurring disorders, chronic physical health conditions, and experiences of trauma. But there is not something intrinsically \u201cbad\u201d about the person. Each person is deeply loved by God (John 3:16)\u2014and that is worth having hope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      Myth #2: You Don\u2019t Need Rehab if You\u2019ve Done a Detox<\/h3>\r\n

      Detox is only one step in the process of recovery. It helps purge toxic substances from your body and should be medically monitored, especially in cases of severe withdrawal symptoms. Detox is often one of the first steps in recovery\u2014which makes it important\u2014but it won\u2019t be sustainable unless combined with other treatments.<\/p>\r\n

      According to a 2018 study of detoxification treatments in the United States, \u201cdrug detoxification<\/a> can only help manage acute withdrawals.\u201d When it comes to long-term abstinence and sober living, other treatments are essential for a person\u2019s success. Research shows that a person who receives detox-only treatment has an increased risk of further overdoses and emergency readmissions into detox programs.<\/p>\r\n

      Like the apostle Paul says in his first letter to the Thessalonians, \u201cMay your spirit, soul, and body be kept in wholeness\u2026\u201d (1 Thess. 5:23). Recovery is not a one-stop-shop but requires lifelong commitment to care, well-being, and spiritual wholeness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

      Myth #3: Prescription Drugs Aren\u2019t Dangerous Because a Doctor Gave Them to You<\/h3>\r\n

      According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, over 80% of adults take one prescription medication<\/a> per day and over 50% are taking five or more prescriptions daily. These high numbers make it extremely likely, if not inevitable, for the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs.<\/p>\r\n

      Although prescribed by doctors according to specific dosing instructions, the possibility of mismanagement is high. This is especially true for a person in chronic or acute physical pain.<\/p>\r\n

      Opioid-related prescription drugs are some of the most commonly misused and abused. If not taken with great care, a person can become quickly dependent\u2014or addicted\u2014to a prescribed opiate. Some examples include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n

        \r\n \t
      1. \r\n
          \r\n \t
        1. Hydrocodone<\/li>\r\n \t
        2. Oxycodone<\/li>\r\n \t
        3. Oxymorphone<\/li>\r\n \t
        4. Morphine<\/li>\r\n \t
        5. Codeine<\/li>\r\n \t
        6. Fentanyl<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n \r\n

          Any prescribed drug should be taken with care and caution, especially if you have a personal or genetic history of substance addiction. And of course, it\u2019s best consult with a medical professional familiar with your history.<\/p>\r\n

          Moreover, consider other modes of healing, like therapy that addresses deeper issues that might be informing your chronic pain. Ultimately, we don\u2019t have to walk the path of healing alone and can trust in the comfort and strength that comes from Christ (2 Thess. 2:16-17).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Myth #4: Recovered Addicts Can Never Become Valuable Members of Society<\/h3>\r\n

          There are many well-known recovered addicts. But perhaps the most well-known is Bill Wilson who, against all odds, founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in 1935. As a role model for support groups for those in recovery, AA and its 12-Step program has changed how people think about substance abuse and addiction.<\/p>\r\n

          The myth that addicts will never become valuable members of society is in line with the first myth presented above. In other words, the myth is that there\u2019s something intrinsically wrong with someone struggling with addiction. These two misconceptions are not just harmless myths but can be detrimental systems of thought to those on the path to recovery\u2014and even to those who haven\u2019t started their journey to healing yet.<\/p>\r\n

          Those who are recovering from addiction and trust in Christ can take heart in their struggle, knowing that ultimately \u201chope does not disappoint us, because God\u2019s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us\u201d (Rom. 5:3-5).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

          Looking Ahead<\/h3>\r\n

          In order to cultivate long-term sobriety and to reintegrate into society at a meaningful level, recovery requires more than just detox or even a month in rehab. Treatments such as behavioral therapy can help a person change their habits. But they can also address underlying mental or emotional disorders such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorders.<\/p>\r\n

          Innovative treatment options take a holistic approach to treatment for substance abuse patterns and addiction, and should address the totality of a person\u2019s life\u2014physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.<\/p>\r\n

          Recovery is possible for everyone. Therefore, it\u2019s essential to address the myths that might misinform or even mislead those wanting to learn more about how to get help.<\/p>\r\n
