A personality disorder is a pathological pattern of behavior that prevents an individual from properly adjusting to and engaging with his environment. In simple terms, that means that personality disorder victims are forever at odds with the world they live in…which perhaps make it unsurprising that so many sufferers turn to drugs and alcohol as a means of self-medication. Substance abuse can make a personality disorder more bearable by dulling a user’s emotional response to traumatic events and situations. The only catch, of course, is that substance abuse is invariably self-destructive over the long run.
The practical implication here is that an addict suffering from a personality disorder cannot get sober until he’s achieved meaningful emotional healing. Addiction has psychological roots, after all, and addiction treatment must be grounded in an intensive process of psychological recovery. If you’re going to get better, it’s going to have to be from the inside out, in mind as well as in body, in spirit as well as in substance. The drug treatment center that’s right for you is the one that can help you do just that. Don’t wait another to start learning that for yourself.
