Questions To Ask A Drug Rehab Before Admission - It is important to find the drug rehab program that will best suit your needs. There are many types and styles of treatment programs available. The Admissions department at any drug and alcohol treatment center will be happy to give answers to your questions. Here are five general areas and specific questions for you to inquire about. Cocaine Use by College Students and Celebrities - Cocaine Use Increases An article entitled "Cocaine Epidemic Feared As Cocaine Deaths Nearly Double In Florida Over Past 5 Years" was featured on the "Medical News Today" website on October 21, 2006. Not surprisingly, the information contained in this article was quite disconcerting. For instance, one of the key points in the article was that cocaine use is on the rise among college students with disposable income and also among high-profile celebrities. An Addiction Case Study: Treating Drug Addiction - John, 28, was a drug addict, with a habit that was costing him more than just the thousands he'd spent. His liver was dying, his heart weakening, yet regardless of how hard he tried he just couldn't get out of his rut. And it wasn't just a physical thing â€“ he was emotionally dependent on substances to make it through the day. With will power he had tried and failed. John recognized he had a problem. John knew he had to get out there and do something about it before it killed him. Coping Emotionally With Overcoming Addiction - Overcoming addiction, particularly drug addiction (like the one mentioned in the recent HBO documentary Addiction), is perhaps one of the most difficult physical challenges we as humans can surmount. Our body's dependency on a substance can lead to physical side effects from withdrawal, as our organs become used to life without addiction. The repercussions are multi-dimensional, and can be physical torture. Invariably it's will power and professional help that's needed to rectify the situation. But seldom when we think about overcoming addiction do we consider the mental and emotional impact of giving up. Arguably addiction is as much a physical dependency as a mental dependency, and it can be particularly hard to find the mettle to live in the face of addiction. Addiction - Is our Addiction Killing Our Kids? - Depending on the definition of addiction that's used, many of us could be considered addicted. The most common definition of addiction is an uncontrolled craving that drives us to continually seek and use a drug or alcohol. Drop off the drug or alcohol limitations and we're all subject to the addiction label. Consider television. How many of us have special broadcasts that we regularly Tivo Â© or otherwise copy when we cannot watch them? You only need to listen to the daily discussions in a typical lunch or break room to pick up on the popular shows of the previous evening. Is this an addiction? Another definition of addiction is the strong emotional and or psychological dependence on a substance. 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. After entering a drug rehab clinic, unfortunately, he never returned to his medical practice. The Need for Excitement Dr. G's story was interesting for a number of reasons, but at a very basic level of analysis the problem was clear. To everyone else, Dr. G. 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. In fact, I have recently encountered the following online dependencies: porn, gambling, video games, comment addiction (i.e., checking the comments on one's blog), Internet addiction, blog addiction, Technorati addiction, forum addiction, information addiction, MySpace addiction, and addiction to Bloglines. This inventory is obviously not an official list gathered from the medical or psychological literature. It is interesting to note, however, that Internet users themselves are the ones labeling their online behavior and the online behavior of others as "addictive." How Dangerous are Internet Addictions? 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. Preventing genital herpes or AIDS, for instance, is obviously "better" AND far easier to deal with than curing these diseases. In fact, given our current medical knowledge, both genital herpes and AIDS are without cure. As another example, consider unwanted pregnancy. Again, unwanted pregnancy is far easier to prevent and usually less difficult to cope with than an abortion or bringing an unwanted child into the world. As a final example, think about the people who have lost their driver's license for six months due to the fact that they got caught driving with marijuana in their vehicle. 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. The over-consumption of alcohol is currently rated to be the third most preventable type of death in the US today. Effects of Oxycontin Addiction - Oxycontin is a narcotic painkiller that is prescribed for people who have moderate to severe pain. This opioid works well when taken properly. However, as with any drug, Oxycontin also has effects. Oxycontinâ€s effects can be categorized as both short-term and long-term effects. Some of Oxycontinâ€s effects are to be expected. These include lowered blood pressure, as well as lowered heart and respiratory rates too. Oxycontin also causes muscle relaxation. Some of Oxycontinâ€s effects are very negative though. These include: allergic reaction; difficulty with breathing caused by the throat closing, and the lips, tongue or face swelling; hives; Oxycontin Addiction - Oxycodone, most commonly known as Oxycontin, is a medication that is typically used for controlling pain, however it can also be used as a cough suppressant. Over the past ten years, Oxycontin addiction has been dramatically increasing. How To Select Your Right Drug Addiction Treatment - One of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime is selecting a drug addiction treatment for you or one of your love ones. Only few of us know about the most important drug addiction treatment center for you as they are not all the same, you want quality and trust. How To Select The Right Drug Addiction Treatment - One of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime is selecting a drug addiction treatment for you or one of your love ones. Only few of us know about the most important drug addiction treatment center for you as they are not all the same, you want quality and trust. You will find that each drug addiction treatment program or center will have its own option, cost, effectiveness of them. Drug Addiction And Recovery - Several emotional or psychological reasons may drive you into taking drugs. At times it is mere curiosity that propels you to develop an addiction to drugs over time. Drug addiction refers to the compulsive use of psychoactive drugs to such a level at which the user of drugs has no other way out and continues to use it. Though addiction to drugs like opium have been common since historical times it is in recent times that the problem has been exacerbated significantly. The Root Cause and Permanent Solution for an Alcohol or Drug Addiction - The alcohol and drug problem in this country is huge and most of the standard addiction recovery and treatment programs aren't working. Consider the following: CRIME: 25% of all prison inmates are there for drug related crimes. 16. Drug Addiction and Withdrawal Symptoms - An addict is a person who has an uncontrollable compulsion to repeat a behavior regardless of its negative consequence. There are many drugs that can lead to a condition recognized as addiction. The common symptoms are a craving for more of the drug, increased psychological tolerance to exposure, and withdrawal symptoms in the absence of the stimulus. A risk of dependency exists in most drugs that directly provide pleasure or relief. There are two types of dependency - physical and psychological. Physical dependency on a substance is defined by the appearance of characteristic withdrawal symptoms when the drug is suddenly discontinued. Opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, alcohol and nicotine are well known addictive drugs known for their ability to induce physical dependence. Cortisone, beta-blockers and most antidepressants are examples of similar such drugs, but they are not addictive. Communicating With Teens -- 7 Never Fail Secrets - Allow me to paint you a picture. You and your teen talk about issues and rules as they come up. While you have disagreements that you resolve, you never have fights where one person wins and the other loses. Sound impossible? Recovery From Addictions, Part 2 - (This is Part 2 of a 5-part series on addiction). In Part 1 of this series of articles, I defined substance and process addictions, and described the four major false beliefs that underlie most addictions: 1. I can't handle my pain. 2. I am unworthy and unlovable. 3. Others are my source of love. 4.
