Drug Rehab Information By State
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.”
Drug Rehab Information By City
The need for truly effective drug and alcohol
rehabilitation is becoming ever more vital to American society.
One should not come out of a drug and alcohol
rehabilitation program and still be ‘white-knuckling’ it or constantly worrying about relapse.
Families should be able to have faith and trust in the loved ones again on their return home. Narconon Arrowhead drug and
alcohol rehabilitation deals in results, and by results we mean a drug free, happy and productive life, not just a little clean time.
There are very definite factors (the main ones being continued cravings, guilt, and depression) which lead almost inevitably back to drug use.
Narconon handles these with a long term, drug free, non-traditional approach that has a proven track record for over 40 years.
Alcohol and drugs are often separated out in
addiction thinking for some reason.
These both are actually in the same category. All drugs are essentially poisons.
A small amount of a drug will act as a stimulant, a little more and it will act as a depressant, and given enough of any toxic substance and it will kill you dead.
Alcohol definitely falls into this category. In the case of extreme
alcoholism withdrawal from use can be one of the roughest of all drugs and can be life threatening. Once withdrawal is accomplished the
rehabilitation of an
alcoholic is quite similar to that of a drug addict – A thorough, complete, and long term handling of cravings, guilt, and depression resulting from and being perpetuated by the alcoholism.
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.
