Drug Rehab Information By State
Many people mistakenly believe the drug problems of our culture center around the use of an
illegal drug or substance.
While these drugs certainly play a major role in drug
abuse and
addiction the problem is definitely not confined to the illegal drug. In fact one of the fastest growing areas of drug
treatment lies in the area of
abuse and
addiction to prescription drugs.
Painkillers, Anti-Depressants, and Anti-Psychotics have all shown epidemic rises in addiction and addiction treatment.
Many of these drugs have black box warnings from the FDA of some of the severe and often life threatening side affects that can occur with their use, let alone use at abusive and addictive levels.
Some of these prescriptions drugs are finding there way into use as treatments for
illegal drug abuse. This has the analogy of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

LSD is one of the most psychologically damaging drugs available on the streets today.
LSD users may manifest relatively long-lasting psychoses such as schizophrenia or severe depression, even after only one use.
There is a tolerance that can build up requiring larger and larger doses to induce the “LSD trip”, but is there such a thing as
LSD addiction?
Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. Many individuals coming to
addiction treatment for LSD report using more and more of the drug more frequently over time with many of these individuals binging on the drug for long periods of time.
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 Intervention is often effective when all else has failed in attempts to help someone suffering from
addiction or alcoholism.
Many times the addict or
alcoholic already feels he has totally failed his loved ones and cannot face them.
The guilt and depression is just too much to confront.
Even though they may be in the same room listening to loved ones they really aren’t hearing anything. Drug intervention can offer some order and effectiveness to aid the true desire of both the addict and the family to find workable solutions.
Yes, despite all appearances to the contrary, the addict or
alcoholic is seeking a way out of the trap and does want to stop his use. An effective
drug intervention can take that hope and desire, no matter how small, and create a willingness to do something and accept help.
