A Young Gentleman Requires Therapy For His Extreme Depression, Relationship Issues, And For His Drug Addiction And Alcohol Dependency

Approximately three months ago I had dinner with a thirty-one-year-old man named Benjamin who experiences severe depression, has relationship difficulties, and who is dependent on alcohol and drugs. As articulated by Benjamin, it is his drug and alcohol addiction and his severe depression that has had the most to do with his unceasing relationship problems.

As explained by Benjamin, he is so crushed by his relationship issues and by both of his medical issues that he in essence has no motivation to do much of anything. What is particularly unfortunate about this is that earlier in his life, Benjamin completed two semesters of graduate school in Italian.

Benjamin's circumstance makes me question if he is an example of a person who can look in the mirror and see his drinking problems and drug addiction and do something positive about these issues. Or, to the contrary, if he is someone who has to hit the bottom of the barrel before he gets drug and alcohol addiction rehab that leads to long-term sobriety.

It may be asked how treatment would help his chemical dependency. First of all, there are several recently discovered doctor-prescribed medications that can help Benjamin through his withdrawal symptoms, through the drug and alcohol detoxification process, and help him avoid an alcohol or a drug relapse. Second, in rehab he could also learn more about his alcoholism symptoms and also about the various stages of alcoholism.

Third, Benjamin would learn to understand the fact that there is utterly nothing beneficial about drug addiction and careless and excessive drinking. In a similar manner, he would also learn that involving himself in one or both of these unhealthy conditions is the road to legal problems, deteriorating health, a premature death, poor work and school performance, shattered relationships, and financial difficulties. Fourth, treatment for his relationship problems and his depression might help him deal with these mental health problems more successfully and perhaps create less of a need for him to involve himself in addictive behavior. And finally,in rehabilitation he could also learn more about the diverse symptoms of alcoholism that he has displayed.

Due to the fact that Benjamin doesn't have the motivation to achieve much of anything in his life, it is plain to see that he badly needs some hope for a better existence. And the sad thing is that hope is virtually everywhere around Benjamin if he could only get to the place in life to get the treatment he requires for his intense depression and chemical dependency and adhere to his treatment protocol.

Benjamin is clearly too young to be defeated in life. He doesn't comprehend this at the moment but if he can learn how to remove himself from drugs and alcohol through drug and alcohol rehab and get the treatment he requires for his severe depression, he can redirect his life and begin living with passion, self-respect, and direction.

Stronger relationships, constructive change, self esteem, and a wonderful life are certainly possibilities for Benjamin. But only if he can get inspired to get the medical rehab he needs, follow through with his therapy program, live his life in a healthy and drug and alcohol-free manner, and learn how to develop a more positive attitude about his life.
