Drug Rehab Information By State
Abuse occurs when a drug, alcohol, or other substance is used to the detriment of the users health, family relations, finances, career, etc.
The detriments may be slight at the beginning of
abuse but generally escalates quite quickly into cravings (mental or physical) for the drug, alcohol, or substance.
This is followed in short order by a marked rise in feeling of guilt and depression as the individual starts sacrificing quality of life for self and others in the more and more single-minded pursuit of the drugs and alcohol.
Once
abuse has set it the whole process of
addiction picks up speed as does the damage done to health, families, career, etc. The sooner this dwindling spiral is halted and addressed with effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation the better.
Drug Rehab Information By City
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A Personal story of methadone withdrawal:
“I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”
Any talk of drug
addiction or drug
treatment must include those who
abuse alcohol.
Alcohol acts as any other drug or toxin.
A small amount is a stimulant, a larger amount acts as a depressant, and given enough it can and will kill you dead.
Alcohol
addiction acts as any other addiction; we simply give it its own name – alcoholism.
Helping those who
abuse alcohol involves cessation of use and withdrawal (often requiring close medical supervision in an alcoholics case), a full and complete
detoxification of the body, followed by life skills to confront, deal with and effectively remove the cravings, guilt and depression that goes hand in hand with those who heavily abuse alcohol.
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society.
One should not come out of a drug and alcohol
rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse.
Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and
alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time.
There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use.
