Cocaine Rehab and Addiction

Cocaine Rehab
The word cocaine includes the drug in its common powder form (cocaine) and a crystal form (crack). Tolerance to cocaine quickly develops with higher doses are more frequent use. Compulsive cocaine use develops much more rapidly when the substance is smoked rather than snorted. Prolonged daily use causes sleep deprivation and loss of appetite. The user can experience psychotic episodes and hallucinations. Coming down from cocaine or crack causes depression so severe that the individual will do anything to get more. It can get so severe as to cause suicide. Cocaine addiction will always end in one of three ways – jail, death, or sobriety.

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Clinic and Addiction

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Clinic
An inpatient alcohol treatment clinic is generally short term in nature, dealing in the main with medical complications as the result of extended alcohol abuse or alcoholism. The severity of delirium tremens that can occur with cessation of alcohol use in the alcoholic often require a medically supervised withdrawal process with a close monitoring of other medical complications or conditions. This approach, though necessary, is only the beginning in the rehabilitation process for the alcoholic. Cessation of use and drying out thing, full rehabilitation requires fully confronting and resolving the cravings, guilt, and depression that result from alcoholism and are more often than not contributing factors leading up to alcoholism.

 

Medical Drugs and Addiction

Medical Drugs
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain. Many of these medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long. This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription. Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard. Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the abuse and addiction to prescription medications.

 

Drug Side Effects and Addiction

Drug Side Effects
Drug side effects is really not an applicable term when one is talking about the effects caused by illegal street drugs. Effects can generally be broken in mental and physical categories. Drugs use up nutritional and vitamin stores very quickly leaving the body open to all sorts of illness and maladies and many physical effects are the result of these deficiencies. Drug induced neurosis and psychosis is the easiest way to explain the hundreds of various mental and emotional side effects from drug use and addiction. With prescription drugs, many of the side effects are quite debilitating and life threatening even when taken as prescribed, let alone at abusive levels.
