Prescription Drug Addiction and Addiction

Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction generally occurs with those medications which suppress pain of a physical or emotional nature. Painkillers suppress physical pain and many are taken at levels exceeding recommended dosages and tolerance builds up fast, abuse then continues in an attempt to handle the pain, or just out of fear of future pain. Medications such as anti-depressants are designed to suppress various forms of mental stress or duress. Abuse of these is similar to painkillers in that dosages are exceeded and tolerance builds leading to more and more of the drug needed in an attempt to maintain emotional balance. Prescription drug addiction in both these cases results from trying to mask the symptoms rather than treating and resolving the underlying causes of the physical or emotional pain.

Chemical Dependency Rehab and Addiction

Chemical Dependency Rehab
Chemical dependency rehab is an all inclusive term which covers addiction rehabilitation for a full array of drug and chemicals. Alcohol of course is included in any discussion of addiction and whenever drug addiction is spoken it should be understood that this includes alcohol – which can be one of the roughest addictions to treat and recover from. Illegal street drugs such as heroin, crack, and meth would come under this category of chemical dependency. One of the fastest growing areas of chemical dependency, abuse and addiction is coming from prescription drugs. More and more people entering a chemical dependency rehab are reporting prescription drug abuse in addition to their alcohol or illegal drug addiction and also as their primary drug of abuse or addiction. Many of these prescription drugs and chemicals build up tolerance which leads to abuse and addiction as well as having side effects that can be severe and life threatening, especially so when abused.

 

Drug – Marijuana and Addiction

Drug – Marijuana
Marijuana is to most commonly used illegal drug in the world. Marijuana contains more than 400 different toxins and cancer causing chemicals. During the 1970’s researched uncovered the fact that marijuana’s active ingredient ‘THC’ lodged in the fatty tissues of the body for months and years. This puts the person that smokes two or three joints a week constantly under the influence of the drug. Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents. With stronger and stronger strains of marijuana hitting the streets it is no wonder that more and more individuals are seeking treatment for marijuana addiction.

 

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drug use occurs in an effort to relieve some form of pain, it may be physical but is often times emotional or a combination of the two. This could be as simple as using alcohol or pot to avoid peer pressure as a teen, or the use of painkillers after an industrial accident. Either way the drug is found to alleviate the symptoms. The bigger the problem, the greater the discomfort and the more relief is sought. With continued abuse the drugs begin to create mental and physical damage of their own and if continued unchecked the person’s life when sober is filled with despair and misery. At this point all the person wants to do is escape these feelings by drugging or drinking them away. This is the downward spiral of addiction.
