Drug Rehab Information By State
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.

Per the Encarta dictionary
chemical dependency is
addiction to a chemical substance or drug.
Dependency can be further defined as the mental or physical need to use a drug or other substance regularly, despite the fact that they are likely to have a damaging effect.
Chemical dependency knows no educational, class, race, or social bounds.
Most
chemical dependency starts out as an attempt to handle some sort of physical or emotional problem.
Some do offer small relief in the short term. The problem enters as more and more use occurs. The very problems originally trying to be solved are now being perpetuated and amplified by the drug use. The individual can not confront perceived pain (emotional or physical) that he feels will come from not using.
Painkillers, once prescribed, all too often open the door to tenacious
addiction and dependency.
In the U.S. alone over 15 million people have abused
prescription drugs with more than 2 million of these being teenagers.
Most teenagers using painkillers to get high assume they are safer than street drugs.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Doctors and drug
rehab professionals report painkiller
addiction as one of the most difficult
addictions to treat, the most serious being opiods. These are opium like compounds which interfere with the human nervous system as well as artificially stimulating portions of the brain. Painkiller addiction results in mental as well as physical addiction as well as increasing tolerance where higher and higher doses of the painkiller are craved in an effort to ease the addiction Narconon Arrowhead has one of the highest success rates in handling
painkiller addiction to a full and lasting resolution.
