Alcoholic and Addiction

Alcoholic
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition. The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc. The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.

Drug – Methamphetamine and Addiction

Drug – Methamphetamine
Methamphetamine addiction is growing at alarming rates in all areas of the country and has reached epidemic proportions. All drug addiction takes you one of two places unless sobriety for a lifetime is achieved – death or jail. Methamphetamine takes one on this downward slide with alarming speed. Methamphetamine quickly burns up the body’s resources creating horrible dependence that can only be relieved by more of the drug. In 2005, 58% of all U.S. law enforcement personnel identified methamphetamine abuse and addiction as their biggest drug problem.

 

Morphine Drug and Addiction

Morphine Drug
Attempting to detoxify self from Morphine can be extremely dangerous. Morphine addiction withdrawal can cause physical and emotional trauma including stroke, heart attack, and even death. To ease the pain from withdrawal from Morphine addiction Methadone is often used. The substitute use of methadone typically results in an addiction to methadone, and continued Morphine use with out detoxification from either substance. Inpatient withdrawal without the use of additional drugs or medications offers the most workable scenario for beating a morphine addiction and allowing for a drug free lifestyle with out the dangers and side effects of continual substitute drug use.

 

Inpatient Drug Treatment Clinic and Addiction

Inpatient Drug Treatment Clinic
When speaking of an inpatient drug treatment clinic we are usually referring to a medical facility geared towards or specializing in getting the addict or alcoholic weaned from the use of these substances. Alcohol and several of the prescription painkillers and mood altering drugs run a health risk if cessation occurs ‘cold turkey’. Severe Delirium Tremens for alcohol abuse as well as several of the side effects from prescription dependence can be life threatening if not medically supervised. These ‘medical detox’ facilities can and do serve a vital role in the rehabilitation process. Many of these get the individual to the point were they can cease use of the drug or alcohol safely. This is by no means a full detoxification of the human body. Inpatient drug treatment clinic services need followed up with a program such as the New Life Detoxification Program at Narconon Arrowhead to fully handle the drug and toxins lodged in the fatty tissues of the body.
