Drug Rehab Information By State
Three of the
drug effects in any type of
addiction that must be fully resolved for any chance of lasting recovery are cravings, guilt, and depression.
Cravings can be mental or physical and are strong, uncontrollable urges to use drugs or alcohol despite the consequences.
Depression is the source of constant and significant amounts of discomfort that prompts continued
drug use in an attempt to alleviate the depression. Guilt is the feelings resulting from dishonest deeds and harm caused to the people closest to and most important to the addict. With unresolved feelings of guilt the addict is very prone and quite likely to continue using drugs or relapse to
drug use in a misguided attempt to escape the feeling of guilt.
In what seems an endless cycles this goes on and on with the
addiction and the cravings, guilt, and depression going in a downward spiral towards death or jail.
The Encarta dictionary defines drug
abuse as ‘the harmful and illegal non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol’.
Drug
abuse usually begins in an effort to relieve some sort of pain or discomfort; this could be emotion, mental, or physical.
Many drugs do this, but only temporarily and generally when the drug wears off the pains and discomforts remain, often times worsened.
Since they worked once more drugs are used in an effort to obtain further relief, and since tolerance builds up in most cases more and more of the drug or alcohol is needed.
More and more of the person’s life centers around obtaining and using drugs. The drugs and alcohol have long ceased to cure any problems and have themselves now become the problem. At this point,
drug abuse involves abuse of finances, relationships, health, career, etc. When one handles the reasons for the initial
drug abuse the need for drugs fades away.
Heroin is a highly addictive illegal drug. During the 1800’s opium
addiction was a major problem in the U.S.
Morphine was developed as supposedly a non-addictive substitute for opium but proved to be even more addictive.
The same is true of Heroin which was a supposedly non addictive replacement for morphine, but again is actually more addictive than opium or morphine.
In more modern times we know have methadone as a supposed ‘solution’ to heroin addiction.
Methadone is even more addictive than heroin. If withdrawal from heroin can be gruesome and harrowing, then methadone is even worse and can be life- threatening if unsupervised.
Rehabilitate means to return to a previous condition or an improvement of even that.
An
addiction rehab that is truly effective will bypass restoring the individual to a previous condition and go straight for an improvement of even that.
The reasoning is relatively simple.
The previous condition obviously contributed to and led up to the drug
abuse and
addiction to begin with.
If one is trying to insure a drug free productive condition that will last a lifetime than one better locate, address, and fully resolve those past factors that contributed to and let up to the addiction initially and then kept it going.
