A Young Gentleman Needs Therapy For His Severe Depression, Relationship Issues, And For His Drug Addiction And Alcoholism

Nearly three months ago I had breakfast with a forty-nine-year-old male named Benjamin who suffers from intense depression, has relationship problems, and who is addicted to drugs and alcohol. As affirmed by Benjamin, it is his alcoholism and drug addiction and his acute depression that has had the most to do with his perpetual relationship difficulties.

As affirmed by Benjamin, he is so defeated by his relationship difficulties and by both of his medical problems that he in actual fact has little or no aspiration to achieve much of anything. What is particularly unfortunate about this is that earlier in his life, Benjamin managed to finish four semesters of grad school in entrepreneurship.

Benjamin's situation makes me question if he is an illustration of an individual who can look within and see his drinking problems and drug addiction and do something meaningful about these difficulties. Or, conversely, if he is an individual who has to hit rock-bottom before he gets drug and alcohol dependency rehabilitation that results in lasting sobriety.

It may be asked how rehab would help his drug and alcohol dependency. For starters, there are a number of newly produced physician-prescribed meds that can help Benjamin avoid an alcohol or a drug relapse, help him through the drug and alcohol detox process, and help him through his withdrawal symptoms. Second, in therapy he could also learn more about his alcoholism symptoms and also about the diverse stages of alcoholism.

Third, Benjamin would learn to admit the fact that there is absolutely nothing productive about drug abuse and unhealthy and excessive drinking. In a similar way, he would also learn that messing around with one or both of these unhealthy situations is the route to a premature death, poor work and school performance, financial difficulties, legal problems, deteriorating health, and shattered relationships. Fourth, therapy for his depression and for his relationship problems might help him manage these medical issues more successfully and help create less of a need for him to engage in additive behavior. And finally, in therapy he could also learn more about the different symptoms of alcoholism that he has manifested.

Because Benjamin lacks the willpower to do much of anything in his life, it is clear that he definitely needs a little hope for a more productive lifestyle. And the unfortunate thing is that hope is almost everywhere around Benjamin if he could only get to the point in life to get the therapy he needs for his acute depression and drug dependence and alcohol addiction and remain in his treatment program.

Benjamin is clearly too young to be dejected in life. He doesn't realize this right now but if he can learn how to refrin from alcohol and drugs through alcohol and drug rehabilitation and get the counseling he requires for his intense depression, he can reorient his life and start living with self-respect, passion, and direction.

More positive relationships, positive change, self esteem, and a meaningful life are clearly a reality for Benjamin. But only if he can become inspired to obtain the professional treatment he requires, follow through with his treatment protocol, live his life in a dependency-free and healthy manner, and learn how to foster a more positive attitude about life.
