Drug Rehab Information By State
Alcohol and drugs are often separated out in
addiction thinking for some reason.
These both are actually in the same category. All drugs are essentially poisons.
A small amount of a drug will act as a stimulant, a little more and it will act as a depressant, and given enough of any toxic substance and it will kill you dead.
Alcohol definitely falls into this category. In the case of extreme
alcoholism withdrawal from use can be one of the roughest of all drugs and can be life threatening. Once withdrawal is accomplished the
rehabilitation of an
alcoholic is quite similar to that of a drug addict – A thorough, complete, and long term handling of cravings, guilt, and depression resulting from and being perpetuated by the alcoholism.
Drug Rehab Information By City
All drug
rehab programs are not created equal; there are many different types and formats. There are long term, short term, in-patient, out-patient, traditional 12 step, and non traditional to name but a few.
One big difference to be aware of is whether or not the drug
rehab programs you may be looking at are drug free or whether the program embraces the use of other or substitute or additional drugs and ‘medications’ in an effort to control or alleviate addiction. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term, non traditional, drug free approach to the problems of
abuse and addiction.
These points set us apart from many of the other
drug rehab programs available. We start with the assumption that the being is basically good and despite any appearances to the contrary actually wants to attain a completely drug free productive life.
The Narconon program embraces many, many different factors that stop or inhibit the individual from reaching this goal. The majority of Narconon staff are ex-addicts and alcoholics themselves and know what it takes to get lasting results – we’ve been there!
When examining the various
drug rehab programs look for one thing – LASTING results and success.
Any drug could be an
addiction drug if the individual finds himself unable to control the use of it.
An
addiction drug causes physical addiction, mental addiction, or both.
Drugs are essentially poisons.
The amount taken determines the effect.
A small amount of a given drug acts as a stimulant, a larger dose will act as a depressant, and enough of any particular drug can kill one dead. An
addiction drug becomes addictive when the individual’s attempt to handle mental or physical pain becomes dependant on the use of the drug, and the individual craves the relief that only ‘appears’ to come from the use of the substance. The substances in the long run will be found to escalate the discomfort and create new emotional and physical side effects in many cases, thus not only are dosages increased but one often finds himself using new drugs to try and counteract these new side effects. Once an individual is restored to an ability to feel better (mentally and physically) without the use of the drug, then one no longer requires the drug and
rehabilitation can progress to an address of the underlying causes.
Prescription drug
abuse and
addiction is one of the fastest growing forms of
addiction in the world.
Statistics show more and more drug
rehab treatment admissions for
prescription drugs as their primary substance of abuse, while the numbers reporting prescription drug
abuse along with their primary drug of abuse is reaching epidemic proportions.
This is a wide category covering painkillers, anti-depressants, and many of the numerous ‘medications’ being prescribed to handle emotional and physical pain.
The black market for these substances is huge and these are available on many street corners and campuses.
The side effects of these substances, even after cessation of use can be almost intolerable and contributes to escalating rates of violence and suicide, especially among our young.
