Treatment for tramadol addicted patient

Dr. Harshal Sathe

Psychiatry

Hello PATIENT use of substances such as alcohol or tobacco occasionally differs from addiction of these substances. Addiction is a phenomenon characterised by uncontrolled daily use which often goes on increasing in quantity and frequency. There are physiological symptoms which arise if the substance is not consumed called as withdrawal symptoms. There is intense craving for drug and loss of interest in alternative activities. The substance starts taking toll on physical as well as psychological health of individual who most often lands up in depression or altered behaviour. Hence controlling the substance use at early stages is of paramount importance.The treatment of substance addiction is divided into two phases. In first phase which is called as detoxification phase the withdrawal symptoms (the symptoms arising due to lack of substance) are treated. This phase lasts for about 1 week and usually consists of taking medicines. After detoxification phase when the drug and its immediate effects are finally washed off deaddiction phase begins which may continue for prolonged time (months to years). This phase includes taking medicines as well as psychological intervention such as counselling. Compliance to treatment and regular follow up at your psychiatrist are the key factors which determine successful outcome in these patients. Thank you
