Montreal, Quebec, Canada (CaymanMama.com) — It has been said that the first step to overcoming an addiction is admitting that one has a problem.
However, the thought of overcoming an addiction to alcohol or drugs often brings on feelings of fear in those struggling with this type of issue, which can lead them to deny that a problem exists. Canada addiction rehabilitation center Chatsworth Pavilion discusses the three types of denial that can hinder progress in trying to achieve long-term sobriety for addicts.
Denial as a Defense Mechanism
Denial is regarded as a defense mechanism that often leads those struggling with an addiction to reject facing the reality of their circumstances regardless of the evidence available. Three types of denial that most commonly affect those too uncomfortable to accept the reality of their situation are simple, minimization, and projection.
• Simple – Some who are addicted to drugs or alcohol deny that a problem exists altogether. It may be difficult for members of one’s family or community to discuss problematic behaviors with an addict due to their inability to come to terms with the reality of their circumstances.
• Minimization – Some may admit they have a problem, but minimize the severity of it, or rationalize why there is not any need for intervention or a change in their behavior.
• Projection – Some may admit they have a problem as well as acknowledge the severity of it, but fail to take responsibility for their behavior.
In order to be successful in achieving long-term sobriety, acknowledging that one has a problem as well as its seriousness, along with taking responsibility for changing negative behaviors are essential. Chatsworth Pavilion helps those struggling with addictions get to the root of their problems using a unique rehabilitation approach that can help facilitate long-term success.
