The definition of Internet addiction is disputed and varies; however, “Internet addiction” (IA) has been termed “pathological Internet use” (PIU) or “ Internet dependency” and is defined as the “inability to control one’s use of the Internet which leads to negative consequences in daily life” (Li, O’Brien, Snyder, & Howard, 2015)

Life Style Assessment
The best way to validate the usefulness and reliability of lifestyle assessment is through personal experience as a subject of an assessment. You may become more aware of your own perceptions with the aid of a counselor. Even more revealing is to be confronted with a genuine incongruity in one’s experience or expectations, for example, with a coworker, significant other, or similar relationship. Properly done, lifestyle assessment will uncover the source of discomfort in the relationships that challenge a person. They are a part of one’s private convictions, values, and expectations.

The Goal of Helping
As is true of all people, Adler was a product of his times and unique life experiences. Educated as a physician and psychiatrist at a time when scientific, reductionist thinking predominated, he was taught that people can only be understood in part and not in whole, and that mental illness existed only in the mind. Yet he chose to believe that people function as an integrated whole, that individuals cannot be understood outside of their relational and environmental context, that mental illness is a creative response to life circumstances, and that mental health is a personal choice achieved through interest in and cooperation with others. Consistent with these concepts, he defined the goal of helping as one of finding meaning in life through the promotion of social interest.

LIFE TRAP
THE
ELEVEN LIFETRAPS
Two
life traps relate to a lack of safety or security in your childhood family – Abandonment and Mistrust
1.
Abandonment:
The abandonment life trap is the feeling that people you love will leave you,
and you will end up emotionally isolated forever. Whether you feel people close
to you will die, leave home forever or abandon you because they prefer someone
else, somehow, you feel that you will be left alone. Because of this belief,
you may cling to people close to you too much. Ironically, you end up pushing
them away. You may get very upset or angry about even normal separations.
2.
Mistrust and abuse: The mistrust and abuse life trap is the expectation
that people will hurt or abuse you in some way – that they will cheat, lie,
manipulate, humiliate, physically harm or otherwise take advantage of you. If
you have this life trap, you hide behind a wall of mistrust to protect
yourself. You never let people get too close. You are suspicious of other
people’s intentions and tend to assume the worst. You expect that people you
love will betray you. Either you avoid relationships altogether, form
superficial relationships in which you do not really open up to others or you
form relationships with people who treat you badly and then feel angry and
vengeful toward them.
Two
life traps relate to your ability to function independently in the world – Dependence and Vulnerability.
3.
Dependence:
If you are caught in the dependence life trap, you feel unable to handle
everyday life in a competent manner without considerable help from others. You
depend on others to act as a crutch and need constant support. As a child, you
were made to feel incompetent when you tried to assert your independence. As an
adult, you seek out strong figures upon whom to become dependent and allow them
to rule your life. At work, you shrink from acting on your own. Needless to
say, this holds you back.
4.
Vulnerability:
With vulnerability, you live in fear that disaster is about to strike – whether
natural, criminal, medical or financial. You do not feel safe in the world. If you
have this life trap, as a child, you were made to feel that the world is a
dangerous place. You were probably overprotected by your parents, who worried
too much about your safety. Your fears are excessive and unrealistic, yet you let
them control your life and pour your energy into making sure that you are safe.
Your fears may revolve around illness: having an anxiety attack, getting AIDS
or going crazy. They may be focused around financial vulnerability: going broke
and ending up on the streets. Your vulnerability may revolve around other
phobic situations, such as fear of flying, being mugged or earthquakes.
Two life traps relate to the strength of your
emotional connections to others – Emotional
deprivation and Social exclusion.
5.
Emotional deprivation: It is the belief that your need for love will never
be met adequately by other people. You feel that no one truly cares for you or
understands how you feel. You find yourself attracted to cold and ungiving
people or you are cold and ungiving yourself, leading you to form relationships
that inevitably prove unsatisfying. You feel cheated and you alternate
between being angry about it and feeling hurt and alone. Ironically, your anger
just drives people further away, ensuring your continued deprivation. These are
people who do not know what love is.
6.
Social exclusion:
Social exclusion involves your connection to friends and groups. It has to do
with feeling isolated from the rest of the world, with feeling different.
If you have this life trap, as a child, you felt excluded by peers. You did not
belong to a group of friends. Perhaps you had some unusual characteristic that
made you feel different in some way. As an adult, you maintain your life trap
mainly through avoidance. You avoid socializing in groups and making friends. You may have felt excluded because there was
something about you that other children rejected. Hence, you feel socially undesirable.
As an adult, you may feel that you are ugly, sexually undesirable, and low in
status, poor in conversational skills, boring or otherwise deficient. You
re-enact your childhood rejection – you feel and act inferior in social
situations. It is not always apparent that someone has a social exclusion life trap.
Many people with this life trap are quite comfortable in intimate settings and
are quite socially skilled. Their life trap may not show in one-to-one
relationships. It sometimes surprises us to realize how anxious and aloof they
may feel at parties, in classes, at meetings or at work. They have a restless
quality – a quality of looking for a place to belong.
The two lifetraps that relate to your self-esteem
are Defectiveness and Failure.
7.
Defectiveness:
With defectiveness, you feel inwardly flawed and defective. You
believe that you would be fundamentally unlovable to anyone who got close
enough to really know you. Your defectiveness would be exposed. As a child, you
did not feel respected for who you were in your family. Instead you were criticized
for your “flaws”. You blamed yourself – you felt unworthy of love. As an adult,
you were afraid of love. You find it difficult to believe that people close to
you value you, so you expect rejection.
8.
Failure:
Failure is the belief that you are inadequate of achievement, such as school,
work and sports. You believe you have failed relative to your peers. As a
child, you were made to feel inferior in terms of achievement. You may have had
a learning disability or you may never have learnt enough discipline to master
important skills such as reading. Other children were always better than you.
You were called “stupid”, “untalented”, or “lazy”. As an adult, you maintain
your life trap by exaggerating the degree of your failure and by acting in ways
that ensure your continued failure.
Two
life traps deal with self-expression – your ability to express what you want
and get your true needs met: Subjugation
and Unrelenting standards.
9.
Subjugation:
With subjugation, you sacrifice your own needs and desires for the sake of
pleasing others or meeting their needs. You allow others to control you. You do
this either out of guilt – that you hurt other people by putting yourself first or
fear
that you will be punished or abandoned if you disobey. As a child,
someone close to you, probably a parent subjugated you. As an adult, you
repeatedly enter relationships with dominant controlling people and subjugate
yourself to them or you enter relationships with needy people who are too
damaged to give back to you in return.
10.
Unrelenting standards: If you are in unrelenting standards life trap, you
strive relentlessly to meet extreme high expectations of yourself. You place
excessive emphasis on status, money, achievement, beauty, order or recognition
at the expense of happiness, pleasure, health, a sense of accomplishment and
satisfying relationships. You probably apply your rigid standards to other
people as well and are very judgemental. When you were a child, you were
expected to be the best and you were taught that anything else was failure. You
learnt that nothing you did was quite good enough.
Entitlement: The life trap entitlement is associated with the
ability to accept realistic limits in life. People who have this life trap feel
special. They insist that they be able to do, say or have whatever they want
immediately. They disregard what others consider reasonable, what is actually
feasible, the time or patience usually required at the cost of others. They
have difficulty with self-discipline. Many of the people with this life trap
were spoiled as children. They were not required to show self-control or to
accept restrictions placed on other children. As adults, they still get very
angry when they do not get what they want.

What Helps People Stay In Treatment ?
What Helps People Stay In Treatment ?
Since successful outcomes often depend upon retaining the person long enough to gain the full beneļ¬ts of treatment, strategies for keeping an individual in the program are critical. Whether a patient stays in treatment de pends on factors associated with both the individual and the program. Individual factors related to engagement and retention include motivation to change drug-using behavior, degree of support from family and friends, and whether there is pressure to stay in treatment from the criminal justice system, child protection services , employers, or the family. Within the program, successful counselors are able to establish a positive, therapeutic relationship with the patient. The counselor should ensure that a treatment plan is established and followed so that the individual knows what to expect during treatment . Medical , psychiatric , and social services should be available.
Since some individual problems (such as serious mental illness , sever e cocaine or crack use, and criminal involvement ) increase the likelihood of a patient dropping out, intensive treatment with a range of components may be required to retain patients who have these problems . The provider then should ensure a transition to continuing care or “aftercare” following the patient’s completion of formal treatment.

TREATMENT FOR ALCOHOL ADDICTION IN CHENNAI
The Narcotics Control Bureau has announced that drug abuse has been on the increase since 2011 in Chennai. The drugs in use are heroin, ganja and cocaine. The Narcotics Control Bureau has indeed been successful in creating awareness about the situation while there have been several de-addiction centers fighting the problem in Chennai. Some of the premium hospitals in Chennai such as TTK Hospital have done yeomen service to control the problem. Founded in 1980, the TTK center for de-addiction has been helping thousands of people fight their addictions and other hospitals have also followed the example and have been providing care, support and treatment for the addicted. These centers are meeting de-addiction needs with detoxification and counselling.
The Tamil Nadu de-addiction directory has details of 40 centers that will work to enable you and your loved ones to fight their addiction and recover from drug abuse. Wisdom Hospital and TTK hospital in Chennai are leaders in this area in the recovery community.
The VHS-Rajaji Centre for De-addiction also provides similar help and guidance to patients and has 22 beds to treat alcoholics and drug addicts.
These are a few of the good de-addiction centers in Chennai and there is not much else available for the time being, When you go looking for drug and alcohol treatment centers in Chennai, you find a few government run facilities and outreach programs as well as the TTK de-addiction center and the Wisdom Hospital.
Chennai which was earlier known as Madras, is the capital of Tamil Nadu and has a population of 5 million + people. In Chennai the hospitals report 90% of people admitted are due to alcohol abuse. There is a pattern to this and this is seen every day in the casualty wards of these hospitals. More than 80% of the cases admitted as accident / assault are seen as medical / legal cases arising due to alcohol abuse. At the Stanley Hospital in Chennai alone, everyday five patients are admitted with complaints of “Alcohol Overdose”.
When one does an inquiry into the cause for the alcohol abuse and the current state of affairs, one realises that an improvement in the income causes people to take to drinking. This does not happen with the youth alone. This is seen happening with middle aged men who are admitted to the casualty section of hospitals as well.
Apart from the well-known de-addiction centers there are many more rehab centers that have sprung up on the outskirts of the city and these cater to the increasing drug and alcohol addicts in this region. These rehab centers are often managed by well-meaning staff who have been addicts themselves. These reformed addicts are often “under qualified” but with a keenness to help others in similar problems. The issues ultimately are not so much the lack of intent but the lack of regulation.
The center that offers de-addiction facility must have qualified doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists and other paramedical staff and this is found lacking in these newly created outfits. Shanti Ranganathan who heads the TT Ranganathan Clinical Research Foundation, says that these centers are seriously lacking in facilities and the required expertise to deal with the addicts. She also expresses unhappiness at the fact that some of the patients from the TTK de-addiction center itself have started clinics. Also, these centers cannot be pronounced illegal as they have been registered after fulfilling all the mandatory requirements.
The TTK de-addiction center offers services such as AA and NA Meetings, Detoxification, Alcoholism Treatment, Drug Addiction Treatment, Residential Rehabilitation, Prevention of Relapse and Family Services.
Founded in the year 1980, this center was started with the desire to help people struggling with addiction. Since then the hospital has increased to a capacity of a 65 bed treatment facility in 1987 and has been instrumental in helping 20,000 individuals with alcohol and drug addiction.
The hospital’s vision is to help rehabilitate patients with the help of in-house treatment and focus on helping the patient’s families understand that addiction is a very serious problem. Patients are the first to be provided with the help. There are detoxification and psychological therapy provided which may consist of individual and group sessions. The TTK Hospital also has a unique program which would require families to participate in therapy for 14 days.
There is also a 25 day program whereby patients can take up counselling any number of times in a month, for approximately 2-3 years to help the patient in living a healthy life henceforth. Although success in recovery may seem like a daunting task to many including the kith and kin of the addicts, one has to take advantage of the help and resources available at the centers. Learning from these places will help in the recovery process.

She also expresses unhappiness at the fact that some of the patients from the TTK de-addiction center itself have started clinics. Also, these centers cannot be pronounced illegal as they have been registered after fulfilling all the mandatory requirements.
The TTK de-addiction center offers services such as AA and NA Meetings, Detoxification, Alcoholism Treatment, Drug Addiction Treatment, Residential Rehabilitation, Prevention of Relapse and Family Services.
Founded in the year 1980, this center was started with the desire to help people struggling with addiction. Since then the hospital has increased to a capacity of a 65 bed treatment facility in 1987 and has been instrumental in helping 20,000 individuals with alcohol and drug addiction.
The hospital’s vision is to help rehabilitate patients with the help of in-house treatment and focus on helping the patient’s families understand that addiction is a very serious problem. Patients are the first to be provided with the help. There are detoxification and psychological therapy provided which may consist of individual and group sessions. The TTK Hospital also has a unique program which would require families to participate in therapy for 14 days.
There is also a 25 day program whereby patients can take up counselling any number of times in a month, for approximately 2-3 years to help the patient in living a healthy life henceforth. Although success in recovery may seem like a daunting task to many including the kith and kin of the addicts, one has to take advantage of the help and resources available at the centers. Learning from these places will help in the recovery process.
