Drug Addiction Rehab

Most any addiction professional would agree that addiction to drugs or alcohol is one of the most difficult conditions to overcome. As a result, the medical industry has tried to develop medications, techniques and procedures that try to help. But the industry as a whole has largely given up on a cure for addiction. In fact, in 2004, the president of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Professionals recommended “compliance” rather than “success rate” as the quality indicator of treatment.

Accordingly, various industries develop procedures or devices to try to fix the problem since real solutions to addiction are hard to come by. In 2005, a European company announced the development of a drug-delivery system in the form of a dental appliance that can be permanently affixed to the teeth. It automatically releases medication for addiction treatment. Compliance with a medication schedule is complete and almost unnoticed. In Canada, heroin-addiction treatment is administered to heroin addicts who did not succeed in other forms of treatment. In this program, these addicts are given prescribed heroin as a way to keep them from using illegal heroin, committing crimes or suffering health problems related to heroin usage.

People usually take drugs because they want to change something in their lives. Here are some of the reasons young people have given for taking drugs:

To fit in
To escape or relax
To relieve boredom
To seem grown up
To rebel
To experiment

They think drugs are a solution. But eventually, the drugs become the problem.  The consequences of drug use are always worse than the problem one is trying to solve with them.

How do drugs work?

Drugs are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount acts as a stimulant (speeds you up). A greater amount acts as a sedative (slows you down). An even larger amount poisons and can kill.

Drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. And while drugs might be of short-term value in the handling of pain, they wipe out ability, alertness and muddy one’s thinking.

What are the most commonly used drugs?

Alcohol is the most commonly used—and abused—drug in the US.  The most commonly used illicit drug is marijuana.

Which drugs are the most addictive?Many users of methamphetamine (Crystal Meth) have reported getting hooked after the first time they used it.  Next to Meth, crack creates the greatest psychological dependence of any drug.  Heroin is also highly addictive and is one of the three most frequently cited drugs in drug abuse deaths.

International statistics:

An estimated 208 million people internationally consume illegal drugs.

In the United States, results from the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health showed that 19.9 million Americans were illicit drug users in the month prior to the survey.
