मदिरा र लागूपदार्थ केवल इच्छाशक्ति र आफ्नै बलमा छोड्न किन धेरै गाह्रो हुन्छ?

लतले मस्तिष्कमा परिवर्तन ल्याउँछ: लामो समयसम्म मदिरा वा लागूपदार्थ सेवन गर्दा मस्तिष्कको पुरस्कार र प्रेरणासँग सम्बन्धित प्रणालीमा परिवर्तन आउँछ। त्यसैले हानिकारक छ भन्ने थाहा हुँदाहुँदै पनि पदार्थ सेवन गर्ने तीव्र इच्छा हुन सक्छ।

तीव्र लालसा (Craving) हुन्छ: लागूपदार्थ वा मदिरा सेवन गर्ने इच्छा यति बलियो हुन सक्छ कि केवल इच्छाशक्तिले नियन्त्रण गर्न गाह्रो हुन्छ।

छोड्दा Withdrawal का लक्षण देखिन्छन्: अचानक छोड्दा बेचैनी, चिडचिडापन, पसिना आउने, हात काम्ने, निद्रा नलाग्ने, वाकवाकी हुने जस्ता समस्या आउन सक्छन्। गम्भीर मदिराको लत भएका व्यक्तिमा छारे रोग (Seizure) वा Delirium समेत हुन सक्छ।

पदार्थ मस्तिष्कको प्राथमिकता बन्न पुग्छ: बिस्तारै मस्तिष्कले मदिरा वा लागूपदार्थलाई सामान्य रोजाइभन्दा पनि आवश्यक वस्तुजस्तो ठान्न थाल्छ।

विभिन्न Triggers ले फेरि सेवन गर्ने इच्छा जगाउन सक्छन्: तनाव, केही व्यक्ति, ठाउँ, भावना वा विशेष परिस्थितिले फेरि मदिरा वा लागूपदार्थ सेवन गर्ने इच्छा बढाउन सक्छ।
इच्छाशक्ति मात्र पर्याप्त हुँदैन: लत केवल चरित्रको कमजोरी वा अनुशासनको कमी होइन। यो उपचार आवश्यक पर्ने एक चिकित्सकीय समस्या हो।

पुनः सेवन (Relapse) हुन सक्छ: केही महिना सेवन नगरेपछि पनि कहिलेकाहीँ लालसा र Triggers फेरि आउन सक्छन्। यसको अर्थ व्यक्ति असफल भयो भन्ने होइन। उपचारको योजना फेरि मिलाउनुपर्ने हुन सक्छ।

उपचारले निको हुने सम्भावना बढाउँछ: आवश्यक औषधि, परामर्श, पुनर्स्थापना कार्यक्रम, परिवारको सहयोग र नियमित Follow-up ले मदिरा वा लागूपदार्थबाट टाढा रहन धेरै सहयोग गर्छ।.

मद्दत माग्नु कमजोरी होइन: अन्य रोगका लागि चिकित्सकको सहयोग लिएजस्तै, लत भएको अवस्थामा पनि विशेषज्ञबाट उपचार लिनु साहस र जिम्मेवारीको कुरा हो।

Why is it very hard to quit alcohol and drugs only with willpower and on your own?

1. Addiction changes the brain:
Repeated use changes the brain’s reward and motivation systems. The person may strongly want the substance even when they know it is causing harm.

2. Strong cravings:
Cravings can become very powerful and difficult to control through willpower alone.

3. Withdrawal symptoms:
Stopping suddenly can cause anxiety, irritability, sweating, tremors, poor sleep, nausea and, in severe alcohol dependence, even seizures or delirium.

4. The substance becomes a priority:
The brain starts treating alcohol or drugs as something necessary, rather than simply a choice.

5. Triggers are everywhere:
Stress, certain people, places, emotions and situations can bring back the urge to use.

6. Willpower is not treatment:
Addiction is a medical disorder, not simply a lack of character or discipline.

7. Relapse can happen:
Even after stopping for months, cravings and triggers can sometimes return. This does not mean the person has failed; treatment may need to be adjusted.

Treatment improves the chances of recovery: Medicines, counselling, family support, rehabilitation and regular follow-up can help a person stay away from alcohol or drugs.

Asking for help is a sign of strength: Just as people seek medical treatment for other illnesses, people with addiction should seek professional help.

Treatment is often stopped too early
Detoxification or a few weeks in rehabilitation may help a person stop using, but recovery requires continuing care—follow-up, counselling, medicines when indicated, family support and relapse-prevention planning.

18/08/2026

Mental and emotional problems may remain
Anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness or poor sleep can increase the risk of returning to substance use.

Overconfidence can be dangerous:
After feeling better, someone may think, “I am cured now. I can use just once.” For many people, that one can restart the cycle.

18/08/2026

Rehabilitation cannot remove every problem:
A person may leave a protected treatment environment and return to the same family problems, workplace stress, financial difficulties or social environment.

18/08/2026

The brain needs time to recover: Repeated substance use changes the brain's reward and decision-making systems. Stopping the substance does not immediately reverse these changes.

18/08/2026

Old triggers remain: Friends, places, stress, arguments, loneliness, money, celebrations or even certain memories can trigger the urge to use.

18/08/2026

Craving can return : Even after months of abstinence, the brain may suddenly produce a strong desire to use it again.

18/08/2026

Relapse is common after rehabilitation
because addiction is not simply a bad habit that disappears after a few weeks of treatment. It is a chronic condition that can continue to affect the brain, emotions and behaviour even after a person stops using drugs or alcohol.

Why does relapse happen?

1. Craving can return : Even after months of abstinence, the brain may suddenly produce a strong desire to use it again.

2. Old triggers remain: Friends, places, stress, arguments, loneliness, money, celebrations or even certain memories can trigger the urge to use.

3. The brain needs time to recover: Repeated substance use changes the brain's reward and decision-making systems. Stopping the substance does not immediately reverse these changes.

4. Rehabilitation cannot remove every problem:
A person may leave a protected treatment environment and return to the same family problems, workplace stress, financial difficulties or social environment.

5. Overconfidence can be dangerous:
After feeling better, someone may think, “I am cured now. I can use just once.” For many people, that one can restart the cycle.

6. Mental and emotional problems may remain
Anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness or poor sleep can increase the risk of returning to substance use.

7. Treatment is often stopped too early
Detoxification or a few weeks in rehabilitation may help a person stop using, but recovery requires continuing care—follow-up, counselling, medicines when indicated, family support and relapse-prevention planning.

Most importantly:
Relapse does not mean that rehabilitation has failed or that the person has no willpower. It means the illness needs further treatment and support.

Just as a person with diabetes may need treatment again when blood sugar rises, a person with addiction may need treatment again when substance use returns.

The goal is not only to stop using a substance. The goal is to help the person build a life in which staying away from the substance becomes possible and sustainable.

Recovery is a journey, not a one-time treatment.
