Drug Rehab Information By State
The Encarta dictionary defines drug
abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’.
Drug
abuse usually begins in an effort to relieve some sort of pain or discomfort; this could be emotion, mental, or physical.
Many drugs do this, but only temporarily and generally when the drug wears off the pains and discomforts remain, often times worsened.
Since they worked once more drugs are used in an effort to obtain further relief, and since tolerance builds up in most cases more and more of the drug or alcohol is needed.
More and more of the person’s life centers around obtaining and using drugs. The drugs and alcohol have long ceased to cure any problems and have themselves now become the problem. At this point,
drug abuse involves abuse of finances, relationships, health, career, etc. When one handles the reasons for the initial
drug abuse the need for drugs fades away.
Drug Rehab Information By City
Executive Director of Narconon Arrowhead Gary W. Smith reports, ‘Although the number of people coming to us who are abusing pot is a smaller percentage of our total clientele, in the 30 years I have been in the drug
rehabilitation field I have not seen these numbers of individuals literally hooked on marijuana and unable to stop on their own.
We’ve known for a long time that marijuana use can lead to other drugs but it is shocking to see people whose lives are being destroyed by smoking pot just like others we are treating who are addicted to crack or alcohol.
I believe this is happening because the strength of the pot that is being smoked today is probably ten times stronger than the pot of 20 years ago.’
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite social, mental, and physical consequences.
It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on the abused substance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.
When
addiction exists, the
drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.
Many of today’s
illegal drugs are extremely addictive as well a many
prescription drugs – particularly ones for depression and sleep problems, as well as painkillers.
Loved ones often wonder what exactly
rehab treatment is. At Narconon Arrowhead the basics of
treatment at least can be fairly well understood.
There is a drug free withdrawal process where use of all drugs and alcohol finally comes to an end.
This is followed by a full
detoxification process which actually removes drugs and toxins that have been stored in the fat tissues of the body, often times for years.
This results in a marked overall sense of well being for the individual with many reporting drug or alcohol cravings ending during this time. Our
rehab treatment also includes a full and comprehensive handling of any further emotional cravings as well as addressing guilt and depression which left unhandled are the major reasons for relapse or continued drug use.
