Signs of Addiction and Addiction

Signs of Addiction
This is a broad general view of addiction as different substances create different symptoms and effects on the individual and often addiction is to more than one substance. Addiction generally is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs or alcohol despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by physiological and physical dependence with the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the drug or alcohol is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.

Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone Addiction
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.”

 

Substance Abuse Services and Addiction

Substance Abuse Services
When researching drug rehab programs what substance abuse services should one be looking for. We suggest you look for a drug free withdrawal and detoxification process to thoroughly rid the body of drugs and toxins. With a detox such as that at Narconon Arrowhead cravings often come to and end. One should also look for a full handling of the feelings of guilt and depression as these are key factors in continued drug use as well as relapse after treatment. Vastly increased success rates are occurring with more long term residential treatment plans due to the strength of the drugs currently being used and the increasing trend towards multiple drugs of abuse.

 

Rehab Clinic and Addiction

Rehab Clinic
In the field of addiction treatment a rehab clinic is generally meant to indicate a short term outpatient treatment facility. These can all too often be facilities where an individual receives replacement or supplemental drugs in an attempt to handle their drug or drugs of addiction. A good example is a methadone clinic. Methadone is more harmful and more addictive than heroin which it is meant to replace. One addiction is being substituted for another. This is not to say all rehab clinics operate this way or are detrimental. Some offer valid short term options until full rehabilitation services can be secured. This point of drug substitution is mentioned as a point to watch out for when considering a rehab clinic.
