Questionnaire About Psychology of Drug Addiction/recovery?
Question by xSweetiex07: Questionnaire about psychology of drug addiction/recovery?
I am doing a service learning project, and my mom is an active member of Narcotics Anonymous, so I thought I could ask her friends (that are in the program) some questions about their recovery. I need help thinking of questions to ask and how I would be able to tie them into the psychology aspect of my class. Thanks.

You can ask them, when they are tempted to use once again, what emotions/thoughts brought them to that urge? This goes with psychology as most recovering drug addicts will feel the need to use, when they become “bored” are around others who use, think of old times when they used, are depressed…there are many different reasons. BUT asking this to a group of recovering addicts will definitely give you some good resources for your project.

Praying for Melia’s Recovery – It is a long road to recovery after surviving a drug overdose. Far too many families are experiencing the devastating emotional and financial burden that follows such a tragic event. Prescription drug abuse is a growing epidemic and our youth are falling prey to deadly addicting medications that are being touted as “the greatest high”. The trouble is, kids don’t realize the side effect of these addictive pills is brain injury or death. Our heartfelt thanks go to the entire staff at Wilcox hospital who were so wonderful and caring for Melia through her most critical stages. We also thank the dear friends who volunteered their time to help Melia through some very intense times. Also we extend our gratitude to each person involved with her treatment on Oahu. www.facebook.com
