Drug Rehab Information By State
Chemical dependency
rehab is an all inclusive term which covers
addiction rehabilitation for a full array of drug and chemicals.
Alcohol of course is included in any discussion of
addiction and whenever
drug addiction is spoken it should be understood that this includes alcohol – which can be one of the roughest
addictions to treat and recover from. Illegal street drugs such as heroin, crack, and meth would come under this category of chemical dependency.
One of the fastest growing areas of chemical dependency,
abuse and addiction is coming from prescription drugs.
More and more people entering a
chemical dependency rehab are reporting prescription drug
abuse in addition to their alcohol or
illegal drug addiction and also as their primary drug of abuse or addiction.
Many of these
prescription drugs and chemicals build up tolerance which leads to abuse and addiction as well as having side effects that can be severe and life threatening, especially so when abused.
Drug Rehab Information By City
At Narconon Arrowhead we apply the word recovery in its fullest sense.
We do not operate under the false assumption of once an addict, always an addict.
Recovery means to return to a normal state or an improved state following a setback or loss; it also means gaining back something lost.
Narconon Arrowhead specializes in
addiction recovery which leads to a drug free productive life for a lifetime.
Getting the drugs fully out of the body (not just withdrawal), handling the factors of cravings, guilt, and depression so often accompanying and adding to addiction, and the gaining of skills and abilities are all factors leading to full
addiction recovery. There is a definite difference between a program that stops drug use, but leaves the underlying reasons untouched, and a program that leads to recovery in the fullest sense of the definitions above.
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.”
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.
