Drug Rehab Information By City
Marijuana is to most commonly used
illegal drug in the world.
Marijuana contains more than 400 different toxins and cancer causing chemicals. During the 1970’s researched uncovered the fact that marijuana’s active ingredient ‘THC’ lodged in the fatty tissues of the body for months and years. This puts the person that smokes two or three joints a week constantly under the influence of the drug. Next to alcohol, marijuana is the second most frequently found substance in the bodies of drivers involved in fatal automobile accidents. With stronger and stronger strains of marijuana hitting the streets it is no wonder that more and more individuals are seeking
treatment for marijuana addiction.
When you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate a
drug overdose can occur.
Most drugs create a tolerance with increasing amounts needed to create the same effects. Drug abusers and addicts are constantly faced with the risk of a drug overdose. There can be a fine line between getting the high they're seeking and overdose leading to serious injury or death. Mixing drugs such as heroin, pills and alcohol is the most common cause of death by overdose.
More and more participants in drug
rehabilitation are reporting multiple drugs being
abuse simultaneously. This vastly increases the medical complications that can result from this dangerous mixing of drug ‘cocktails’.
This is all in
addiction to the sometimes life threatening side effects that can occur from abusing
prescription drugs especially painkillers and anti-depressants.
Prescription drug
addiction generally occurs with those medications which suppress pain of a physical or emotional nature.
Painkillers suppress physical pain and many are taken at levels exceeding recommended dosages and tolerance builds up fast,
abuse then continues in an attempt to handle the pain, or just out of fear of future pain.
Medications such as anti-depressants are designed to suppress various forms of mental stress or duress.
Abuse of these is similar to painkillers in that dosages are exceeded and tolerance builds leading to more and more of the drug needed in an attempt to maintain emotional balance.
Prescription drug
addiction in both these cases results from trying to mask the symptoms rather than treating and resolving the underlying causes of the physical or emotional pain.
