A Drug Treatment Center Success Story
Narconon Arrowhead Drug Rehab Treatment Center has given me more than I had ever imagined. It not only destroyed my drug addiction to heroin, but made me a happy, functional member of society. The skills I’ve learned I will always carry with me. This is, by far, the best thing I have ever done for myself and those who care for me. C.G.
Drug Overdose
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
Drug Rehab Information By State
How does one go about determining when
drug use crosses the line into drug
abuse and addiction?
Drugs are used as a solution to pain, be it mental, emotional, or physical.
Fore instance one takes a painkiller and physical pain subsides or one take a street drug and the emotional pain of feeling like an outsider goes away.
There are many motivations but they all come under the heading of handling pain in one way or another.
Drug
abuse sets in when the drug is being used more and more to mask and cover up the pain rather than addressing the actual causes of the pain itself. From abuse one quickly moves on to
addiction where tolerance to the drugs builds up to the point where the individual can’t conceive of life without them for fear of unbearable pain of one type or another. Ones life then becomes centered on acquiring and using more and more drugs at any cost or sacrifice. Along with this comes all the cravings, guilt and depression that results from harm done to self, family, loved ones, careers, etc.
There are various forms and methods of ingesting drugs and toxins. Orally, nasally, injecting, and smoking are a few of these. The effects from smoking drugs as opposed to orally ingesting them or nasally generally creates a more intense effect faster. This is one of the factors that make crack cocaine a tougher
addiction to break than powder cocaine.
Drugs like Oxycontin are often ground up and mixed with other drugs and smoked for faster more intense highs as well. Also many times the harder drugs like heroin are smoked under the misunderstanding that the risk of
addiction is lower and this is definitely not true.
Addiction is addiction, some methods of taking drugs will take you to addiction faster and with more devastating effects.
We can’t help but wonder what causes one person to become in drug or substance
abuse while another person can walk away from it. Drugs or alcohol are use in an effort to handle a problem or physical/emotional pain of some sort.
The drug is found to offer short term relief to the problem or pain.
What happens in many cases is the individual continues to use drugs and alcohol to mask the symptoms and obtain relief rather than handle the actual source of the problem or pain.
Most drugs used have a tolerance factor where it takes more and more of the drug more and more often to achieve the desired results.
This leads to abusive and addictive use which adds additional problems and pains and yet at this point the person thinks there is no other solution or relief available. Thus the person enters the downward spiral of
abuse drug and
substance abuse and addiction.
