Recevoir de l'acupuncture pendant et après votre traitement de lutte contre la toxicomanie peut: aider à réduire l'envie; augmenter la rétention du patient en réadaptation; soulager les symptômes de sevrage désagréables; soulager la douleur physique; aider la personne à réguler ses émotions. Vous pouvez avoir des envies d'alcool ou de drogue pendant des mois, voire des années, après avoir choisi d'arrêter de consommer ou de devenir sobre. Parfois, ces envies disparaissent après quelques minutes. D'autres fois, ils persistent et peuvent, si vous ne demandez pas d'aide, entraîner une rechute.

'Value Yourself Enough to Change'

The specific characteristics of cravings and the treatment for them can vary based on the drug you were addicted too. 

Knowing the signs and symptoms of cravings can help you identify them and, importantly, cope with them. Some general signs and symptoms of cravings are:

  • Preoccupying thoughts about the substance.
  • A desire to return to old using environments or see old using friends.
  • Wanting to use drugs or alcohol when in the presence of them or near something that reminds you of them.
  • Buying substance-related paraphernalia.
