It’s a great feeling completing the final test of the final course here at drug rehab. Now, that I have completed my drug rehab program, there’s no greater feeling of accomplishment.

I now have in my possession the tools needed to live a successful and drug-free life. M.M.

Substance Abuse and Addiction

Substance Abuse
What is the connection and where is the line between substance abuse and addiction? Drug use begins as an attempt to relieve some sort of pain, whether emotion or physical pain or a combination of the two. The drugs do not solve or remedy the source of mental or physical pain but rather mask or remove symptoms only. As one uses more and more of the drugs in attempt to escape the stresses of life rather than solve them abuse sets in, often accompanied by abuse of additional substances. When the individual finds himself unable and/or unwilling to cease use on his own and life revolves around obtaining and using more and more drugs despite attempts to stop addiction has set in. Narconon Arrowhead handles all the factors involved in substance abuse or addiction and give back to the individual a drug free and productive life.

Crack Cocaine Addiction and Addiction

Crack Cocaine Addiction
The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as cocaine. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to remove the hydrochloride. This process is called ‘freebasing’ and makes the drug more potent. ‘Crack’ is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is called ‘crack’ because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked. Traditionally, cocaine was a rich man's drug, due to the large expense of a cocaine habit. Now, crack is being sold at prices low enough that even adolescents can afford to buy it. But, this is misleading, since once a person has a crack cocaine addiction, his ‘habit’ often increases, and so does his expense.

 

LSD and Addiction

LSD
LSD is one of the most potent, mood-changing chemicals available. LSD effects are extremely unpredictable. It could be a racing distorted high all the way to severe paranoid and suicidal low. LSD can create severe neurosis and psychosis which can sometimes become permanent. In the 1950’s the western intelligence community was experimenting with LSD as a possible chemical weapon with researchers noting that ‘LSD is capable of rendering whole groups of people, including military forces, indifferent to their surroundings and situations, interfering with planning and judgment and even creating apprehension, uncontrollable confusion and terror’. Experiments continued along these lines until LSD was banned in 1967.

 

Illegal Drug and Addiction

Illegal Drug
Many people mistakenly believe the drug problems of our culture center around the use of an illegal drug or substance. While these drugs certainly play a major role in drug abuse and addiction the problem is definitely not confined to the illegal drug. In fact one of the fastest growing areas of drug treatment lies in the area of abuse and addiction to prescription drugs. Painkillers, Anti-Depressants, and Anti-Psychotics have all shown epidemic rises in addiction and addiction treatment. Many of these drugs have black box warnings from the FDA of some of the severe and often life threatening side affects that can occur with their use, let alone use at abusive and addictive levels. Some of these prescriptions drugs are finding there way into use as treatments for illegal drug abuse. This has the analogy of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
