This is almost the only way a person can help himself deal with his bad addictive habits. There is no escape from communicating with specialists in the field of behavioral addiction treatment, who will provide you with special treatment sessions before encouraging you to join clubs with people who are going through the same experience, including people who have succeeded (even if relatively) in overcoming it.
Unfortunately, modern medicine is still falling short of providing 100% effective solutions because this depends on many factors that medical intervention cannot interact with. For example, the will of the sick person himself and the extent of the ability of those around him to support him. Repeated treatment sessions with the use of some sedative medications can help begin a treatment phase that may be long or short depending on the patient’s will to recover.
