Methadone Addiction and Addiction

Methadone Addiction
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 and Alcohol Rehab and Addiction

Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Drug and alcohol rehab is an important and vital tool whether is be for drug and alcohol abuse or drug and alcohol addiction. In life there is a very thin line between abuse and addiction. Abuse is using drugs and alcohol to the determent of personal health, family harmony and security, career, and a host of other factors. Addiction is simply one more step that takes the individual over the line to a world where the drugs alcohol now controls his or her actions and motivations. Acquiring and using drugs and alcohol has taken on the color of a full time occupation. A competent and effective drug and alcohol rehab has the ability to confront and handle both abuse and addiction. One need not totally hit bottom before treatment is sought. The problem with hitting bottom first is that it often kills on upon impact.

 

Addiction and Addiction

Addiction
Addiction has many faces. The alcoholic who can’t refuse that first drink; the teenager who finds himself craving methamphetamine to keep going after trying in on a dare; the single mom finding herself using more and more anti-depressants to deal with getting through the day; or the workman now using way to many painkillers to get through the physical stress of the workday. Most addiction involves more than one substance as addicts seek solutions to the original drugs adverse affects by mistakenly using other substances in an attempt to escape the harsh realities of addiction or an attempt to simply get back to normal. Each addiction can have its own symptoms and side effects. Cravings, quilt, and depression however are almost universally common denominators to addiction, any lasting recovery from addiction must confront and relieve or resolve these three key factors.
