The Problem Didn't Start With Lindsay Lohan - "...The time has come to stop the sale of slavery to the young..." Lyndon Baines Johnson Often times, we look at celebrities and believe that their lives are easy; at least easier than our own lives. When we see celebrities who publicly suffer with some type of addiction, those living outside of the "Hollywood bubble", are far from sympathetic; "Look at them with all their money; Drug Addiction Steals the Life of a Young Man, The Second Chance Program Gives Him his Life Back - Senior year of high school Julio started using inhalants. He was bored. A friend offered him gold spray paint. He inhaled, and got a buzz. He liked it. Thus began his recreational use of inhalants. He had good grades in school. And he was doing what he loved, he had always wanted to play soccer, and he was good; being the #6 leading scorer his junior year, and All State. And he was maintaining a 3.0 grade point average. He arrived at college, with a full financial aid scholarship. He needed this. He was being raised by his father's parents, as his dad was doing time for accidentally shooting his mother when Julio was 3 or 4. His inhalant usage manifested into an addiction. New Criminal and Drug Rehab Program Helps a Man Discover his Potentiality - Julio was last arrested at 30 years old. Born and raised in Clovis, New Mexico, he moved to Las Vegas, New Mexico, when he was 18, where he graduated High School and then began college. His drug use began recreationally, when a friend showed him the high of sniffing inhalants, gold spray paint. A few years later he was addicted and his attitude in life and his actions had completely changed. Incarcerated Offender is Taught Vital Communication Skills as Part of Rehab - The Second Chance Program in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a prison-based social rehab program. This program uses a manualized treatment approach rather than a counselor driven treatment criminal rehab program. These manuals are delivered as courses, addressing common insufficiencies found in offenders. Rick Pendery, who opened the center in New Mexico, is the national director of the Second Chance Centers and has piloted the program successfully over the past six years. A Non-Religious, Non-Profit Criminal and Drug Rehab Program Provides Successful Alternative Sentencing for Offenders - The Second Chance Program in Albuquerque is rehabilitating individuals and reducing recidivism using a successful manualized rehabilitation system from Criminon International. Based on the philosophy that addressing the cause of criminality can rehabilitate the most hardened criminal, the Second Chance Program is gaining status in the US criminal rehabilitation domain. Understanding that restoring a criminal's self-respect through effective drug rehabilitation and classes in communication proficiency, remedial education, life skills, and an innovative series that builds moral reasoning, the program presents an alternative to the judiciary for sentencing criminals. The Second Chance Program is a licensed user of manuals from Criminon International which utilizes the research discoveries made by American author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. "I am often asked if this program is a part of the Church of Scientology. Addictions- They Seem To Fit Together Like Pieces In A Puzzle - I'm a person who walked away from both drinking and smoking, after engaging in both activities for more than 15 years, and I've always been perplexed at how so called "addictions" seem to fit together. Smoking cigarettes and drinking go together like Peas and carrots. It was always amazing to me how one seemed to go with the other. Smoking was never quite as satisfying as when alcohol was being consumed. Credit Cards - They are Just Like Drugs - Credit cards are just like drugs. There is no better analogy. They offer short-term pleasure and long-term pain. They give the illusion of having more money than you actually do. Then you live with less because each month a portion of your income is siphoned away paying past credit debt. Drug Addiction Treatment, Do You Need Help? - Substance dependency treatment is available to assist any individual with an addiction or substance use problem. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs so that they can learn to control their addiction and live normal, productive lives. Let's start with these suggestions: First, you need to admit your problem. This first step may be the hardest step to seeking the drug addiction treatment you need. Turn to your family and let them know that you have a problem with drugs and now wish to seek drug addiction treatment. Addiction... Are Bad Habits Really That Hard To Stop? - The dictionary describes addiction as: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. Okay, now we know exactly what an addiction is. And I think that we would all agree that people think of being addicted to both alcohol and cigarettes. Sobriety Birthday - "Foul is fair, fair is foul" said by the one and only Shakespeare. Boozing might be heaven for you but at the same time poison for others. It is simply because your life partner is too irritated with your alcoholic machismo and your friends are bored with your gibberish that you utter while deep intoxication. You may feel absolutely wonderful, the ruler of the entire world amazingly and flying in the air to cherish your addiction, but as soon as it gets over you feel absolutely disgusting because you dizzily remember all the stupid, obnoxious things you have done with them whom you love and without whom your life would be simply miserable. The False High of Addiction - The Doctor Who Had Everything While scanning the information on the Titusonenine blog, I recently read a post entitled "A Bout With Addiction, for the Doctor Who Has Everything" that captured my interest. According to the post, Dr. G. was an anesthesiologist who became addicted to drugs. The Internet: The Latest Form of Addiction? - Internet-Related Addictions In my travels through cyberspace, I have noticed an increasing number of websites and blogs discussing various forms of Internet-related addictive behavior. Coping Responsibly with Addiction. Do You Get It? - Preventing and Coping with Problems While preventing a problem before it happens is usually "better" than facing the problem, typically it also involves a different level of complexity. Let me explain. The Effects of Smoking and Drinking On Mental Proficiency - Smoking Can Prime the Brain for Later Addiction An article entitled "Adolescent Smokers Have A Greater Risk Of Developing Alcohol-use Disorders Than Nonsmokers" by Richard A. Grucza, and Kevin W. Chen revealed research findings that are problematic at best. Perhaps the most disturbing was this: research suggests that smoking "primes" the brain for later addiction to alcohol and perhaps other drugs. When added to the following statistic, this information is very disconcerting: alcohol and smoking, when considered independently or in combination, account for more than 20 percent of the annual fatalities in the United States. Alcohol-Use Disorders It is common knowledge that many people started smoking and drinking when they were teenagers. According to research findings, moreover, smokers, especially adolescent smokers, unmistakably have a greater susceptibility to alcohol-use disorders (AUDs) than do non-smokers. Beyond Sobriety - Congratulations! Now that you are sober, you have released yourself from the bonds of your addiction. Taking your power back from alcohol can be seen as a completion, a graduation, of the first of a series of seven mini "courses". You can now choose to enroll in the second course toward your "degree" in Taking Control of Your Life. Finding Alcohol Rehab and Drug Rehab Programs - When you love someone close to you, sometimes you need to make the tough decisions. When someone you are close to is obviously abusing alcohol or drugs, you know that the best thing you can do to help them is to get them into a rehab program. It will be hard for them and perhaps hard for you as well, but you know that this is what you need to do for them to help them before the problem gets worse. What is the most addictive drug? - This is a question that people often ask but is actually a very difficult one to answer. Addiction is not just one single and simple process, it is a complex process that has both physical and psychological aspects. Nevertheless despite this complexity two attempts have been made to determine the most addictive drug. Independently Dr. Jack E. Henningfield of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Dr. Neal L. Change Our Focus, Change Our Society - Do you ever wonder why although so much of our tax dollars go to government programs to resolve society's problems, things seem to be getting worse? Drug Addiction Rehab Programs Effectiveness - Drug addiction rehab is a generic phrase, which refers to drug rehabilitation, and presupposes a medical treatment for the dependency of legal or illegal drugs, alcohol, even nicotine or any other psychoactive substance. If you are longing or craving to use again and again a drug, then it doesn't matter if the substance behind that drug is legal or illegal, what you need is a drug addiction rehab. What Are the Classifications of Drugs in Substance Abuse? - Drugs are prevalent in the nation today, but it is with the adamant efforts of law enforcement and drug testing employers that drug abuse will be dramatically reduced. Here are some ways to classify drugs, testing methods and more so you can be prepared. Drugs by Drug Classification Club Drugs: Examples include MDMA (Ecstasy), Ketamine (Special K) and methamphetamine (mAMP). CNS Depressants: Examples include barbiturates, benzodiazepines and Valium. Narcotics: Examples include methadone, morphine and heroin. Hallucinogens: Examples include mescaline, LSD and MDMA. Inhalants: Examples include paint thinner, glue and nail polish remover.
