He started with hash, and he stated that hash has no signs or symptoms; it just gives a sense of relaxation and euphoria. He did not experience any withdrawal symptoms. However, when he began taking narcotic pills, he might take ten to twenty pills daily. The severe phase was when he was injecting drugs, and he started with a gram per day on two injections to two grams on four injections per day. According to Bluthenthal et al. (2020), symptoms of heroin withdrawal can begin as soon as four to six hours after the last use and peak within approximately twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Thus, the individual with addiction becomes more focused on obtaining opioids as an effective way to avoid withdrawal symptoms; that is exactly what was happening to MC. The signs and symptoms for the narcotics pills and injection were the same. They were the withdrawal symptoms, and he described it as an aggressive cold and flu symptoms, which were sweating, feeling cold, body ache and severe backache, weight loss, depression and anxiety. Moreover, when he is on the drug, he said that people around him can detect that he is on the drug as the drug cause irritability and slurred speech. Bluthenthal et al. (2020) stated that if an individual becomes physically dependent on opioids, the craving phase is accompanied by the experience of opioid withdrawal symptoms which were the same as MC mentioned, in addition to some more symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, tachycardia, rhinorrhea, and abdominal cramps. In the end, they added that, as an individual’s opioid use increases, this would accompany by a cycle of increasing drug use to avoid the withdrawal symptoms, which may lead to engaging in unsafe drug use behaviours.Problem Recognition and Willingness to Get HelpMC started to have more problems due to his behaviours while under the influence of drugs. He went to the police office many times as he did some car accidents, fought with people, started to lose his friends, could not work and began to be known in his neighborhood that is a person with addiction; he became labelled and distinguished (Rogers et al., 2019); people started to see him and treat him uncomfortably and painfully for him, he fainted once because of an overdose, his mental health deteriorated as he became more depressed and was thinking of suicide and he tried once with a failed trial. Opioid use disorders notably increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviours (Rizk et al., 2021). Thus, the combination of his depression, being unacceptable by the community, and losing his relationship with his girlfriend and friends, he felt that he needed to seek help. It was time for treatment as he reached rock bottom. Rogers et al. (2019) identified what contributes to problem recognition is that individuals with addictions want to modify substance use behaviours to avoid harmful consequences and internalized stigma. However, he mentioned something very surprising to me: he wished to stop heroin injection and go back to the hash, as while smoking hash only, he was very happy, enjoying life and time with his friends. There were no problems during that time; they were having fun, partying and smoking. He mentioned that the community is not judging people who smoke hash and party like a person who has injection marks and wounds due to repeated injections. Rogers et al. (2019) mentioned in their article that in the study they did, participants declared that they wished to just adjust their drug usage in ways that do not interfere with essential life responsibilities, which is what MC hoped for.Unsuccessful Attempts to ChangeMC tried to begin his treatment and went to several psychiatrists with failed trials. Then he went to a rehabilitation center for six months, but on the day of graduation, he and his friends decided to celebrate on their way through going and get a dose of heroin. While taking this first dose, he believed that he would never go back again for the addiction; it would be just once. However, he started to return to his addiction by having just one injection per week till he returned to 4 times per day, the same pattern as before, for an entire year. After a year of addiction, he got diagnosed with virus B, and his physician asked if he was addicted to any drugs; he admitted that he is addicted to heroin. The physician gave him hope that he could be treated for this virus if he stuck to some instructions, and if not, he would die. At this point, MC started to feel anxious about dying, and he thought it was a message from God saying to him, ” I want you.” Then, he did not get any drugs for a month while he was sticking to physician instructions for virus B treatment and at the same time, he took medication to stay sober. During that time, he started to go back to his social life and build some community and have friends who went through the same addiction experience and recovered in church. He had a girlfriend, but after four months, they broke up. Breaking up with that girl was not easy for him; thus, he relapsed. During this time of relapse, he was frustrated and miserable due to his situation, as he was happy that he started to have community and he got back somehow to his life. He was pleased with his spiritual life as well. According to Kelly et al. (2019), alcohol and other drug problems are commonly described as chronically relapsing, implying multiple recovery attempts are needed before final recovery. They added “the estimates of the number of quit attempts prior to successful quitting ranging very broadly from an average somewhere between six and thirty or more, depending on the study design and methods used” (p.2).Social SciencePsychology
