Prescription Drug Abuse and Addiction

Prescription Drug Abuse
Prescription drug abuse and addiction is one of the fastest growing forms of addiction in the world. Statistics show more and more drug rehab treatment admissions for prescription drugs as their primary substance of abuse, while the numbers reporting prescription drug abuse along with their primary drug of abuse is reaching epidemic proportions. This is a wide category covering painkillers, anti-depressants, and many of the numerous ‘medications’ being prescribed to handle emotional and physical pain. The black market for these substances is huge and these are available on many street corners and campuses. The side effects of these substances, even after cessation of use can be almost intolerable and contributes to escalating rates of violence and suicide, especially among our young.

Detox and Addiction

Detox
Many people have a misunderstanding when it comes to detox. Quite often it is confused with withdrawal. Withdrawal is the process of ceasing the current drug or alcohol use with enough of the effects handled so as to give the individual a fighting chance at continued sobriety. Detox on the other hand should involve removing the quantities of drugs and toxins that store in the fat tissues of the body, sometimes for years. The Narconon Arrowhead New Life Detoxification Program is done following withdrawal and results in a marked resurgence in the overall sense of well-being for the individual. Many, if not most, of our detoxification program completions report an end to their drug or alcohol cravings at this point.

 

Addiction Effects and Addiction

Addiction Effects
The effects of addiction of course impact the addict himself, of which he or she is usually painfully aware. Deterioration of health, loss of energy and drive, and uncontrollable cravings for drugs or alcohol are just a few of these. The effects created on friends and family can be just as devastating but are generally less well known to the addict. The reason for this is that drugs and alcohol reduce awareness of the environment more and more as addiction continues. The cravings, guilt and depression that go hand in hand with drug addiction are the reasons for continued use and relapse. The addict or alcohol usually is not malicious in terms of the damage caused to family and loved ones, he or she is simply not fully aware of the effects being created. There world is centered on obtaining and using more and more drugs and alcohol.
