Addiction Facts and Addiction

Addiction Facts
Many times someone’s personal opinions, or pet theories gets mixed up with actual addiction facts and this is often confusing to someone trying to understand addiction. Probably a good starting point is a solid definition of what addiction is. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated compulsive seeking and using of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage.

Substance Abuse Services and Addiction

Substance Abuse Services
When researching drug rehab programs what substance abuse services should one be looking for. We suggest you look for a drug free withdrawal and detoxification process to thoroughly rid the body of drugs and toxins. With a detox such as that at Narconon Arrowhead cravings often come to and end. One should also look for a full handling of the feelings of guilt and depression as these are key factors in continued drug use as well as relapse after treatment. Vastly increased success rates are occurring with more long term residential treatment plans due to the strength of the drugs currently being used and the increasing trend towards multiple drugs of abuse.

 

Heroin Drug and Addiction

Heroin Drug
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.

 

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drug use occurs in an effort to relieve some form of pain, it may be physical but is often times emotional or a combination of the two. This could be as simple as using alcohol or pot to avoid peer pressure as a teen, or the use of painkillers after an industrial accident. Either way the drug is found to alleviate the symptoms. The bigger the problem, the greater the discomfort and the more relief is sought. With continued abuse the drugs begin to create mental and physical damage of their own and if continued unchecked the person’s life when sober is filled with despair and misery. At this point all the person wants to do is escape these feelings by drugging or drinking them away. This is the downward spiral of addiction.
