Ecstasy Addiction
Is there such a thing as Ecstasy addiction?
Many think so.
But even if the user doesn’t become addicted there are very real dangers that exist.
Tragically, Ecstasy is one of the most popular drugs among youth today.
It is estimated that more than 10 million people have tried the drug at least once – the vast majority being teenagers and young adults. Mixed with alcohol, ecstasy is extremely dangerous and can, in fact, be lethal. Instances of death from ecstasy have been reported after only one use. Emergency room incidents have skyrocketed over 1200% since ecstasy has become a drug of choice at all night raves and dance clubs.
Drug Rehab Information By State
The word cocaine includes the drug in its common powder form (cocaine) and a crystal form (crack).
Tolerance to cocaine quickly develops with higher doses are more frequent use.
Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted. Prolonged daily use causes sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. The user can experience psychotic episodes and hallucinations.
Coming down from cocaine or crack causes depression so severe that the individual will do anything to get more.
It can get so severe as to cause suicide. Cocaine
addiction will always end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.
Substance
abuse treatment on any type begins to be more and more effective as the addict or
alcoholic becomes more and more willing to be helped and to help themselves.
Most interventions prior to
treatment have this goal in mind, to get at least some willingness on the part of the addict.
This willingness is often tenuous and fleeting at the start of substance
abuse treatment.
Part of effective withdrawal would be the actions taken to extrovert the addict from current pains and discomforts that can and do play havoc with any willingness.
At Narconon Arrowhead our
substance abuse treatment continually involves fortifying the existing willingness of the participant as well as actions designed to increase willingness all along the way. The being himself always is seeking to do better and beat the
addiction despite any appearances, statements, or actions to the contrary. The more the addict wins at the battles of
addiction the more willing he becomes and the more energy he will expend on his own survival. Substance abuse treatment is about much more than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
The first challenge of
rehab centers in
addiction treatment is to help the individual with their drug and alcohol cravings.
Cravings are strong, uncontrollable, urges that drive the addict to use over and over.
Some withdrawal symptoms and cravings are caused by poor nutrition and depletion of vitamin stores in the body that the drugs are sucking out of the body.
Depletion of nutrition and vitamins can cause the person to be tired and moody and can also cause shakiness and pain.
The drugs accumulating in the body stress the various systems in the body including nerve systems. At this point more drugs are used in an attempt to alleviate feelings and emotions that the drugs themselves are creating. This is why treating drug
addiction with more drugs only makes the problem worse and is now being rejected as a workable therapy by many
rehab centers.
Any effective alcohol
treatment center should be well acquainted with the fact that
alcoholism can only end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.
There really are no other options, extenuating circumstances, or ‘this person is different’, etc. Anyone stating or asserting something different is simply uninformed or being dangerously reasonable with the condition.
Death, jail, or sobriety, the choice is ultimately the alcoholics.
A good alcohol
treatment center will give the
alcoholic the tools to life a happy alcohol free lifestyle when the choice is sobriety.
