subject: Drugs Are Bad Problem [print this page] Just based on my experiences, and that includes speaking to hundreds of thousands of students, one of the reasons this problem goes undetected by most parents and teachers is that so many kids only try it once or a few times. That might not be enough for signs to be noticeable in class or at the supper table. Drugs are bad, true, but just as bad is stigmatizing people who are addicted to them. Perhaps some people are beyond help, but there is always a significant proportion who would accept help if it were offered in the most genuine spirit. Many drug addicts don't have anyone to lean on and that can make it difficult to get the motivation every day to stay away from their chemical security blanket.
Overdose of heroin is extremely dangerous and can easily kill the user depending on how much they have taken, and how much their body is used to. Effects can include muscle weakness, lack of consciousness and respiratory depression; these effects can, in the modern world, often be reversed by the opioid antagonists naloxone and naltrexone. If you are truly serious about giving up on alcohol, you will surely have serious reasons for doing so: maybe your stomach lining has been eroded by all the booze, maybe your liver is extremely weak from processing so much poison. Remember, alcohol is a poison and if you have an addictive personality.
Family, friends and employers notice changes in the behavior of an alcoholic or addict long before the person with the disease does. This is the first indicator that someone is in denial about their disease. Tragically, as it progresses, the individual barely notices the changes and deterioration because they happen gradually, day after day and seem normal to the sufferer. They wear rags in the name of dress or clothes and usually remain bare-footed. They live in the most unhygienic conditions. They cannot dream of comforts and luxuries of life. Even necessities of life are far away from them.
Other common, physical indications of alcoholism include changes in sleeping habits, slurred speech, clumsiness, red face, weight loss, upset stomach, numb hands and feet, and black outs. The mental symptoms include mood swings and emotional outbursts. An addict will also show a very high tolerance for alcohol because he will need more and more of the liquid to feel the effects. In order for a treatment facility to be effective, it must be capable of providing an environment in which an addict can eliminate abusive substances from his or her body. This process is called detoxification and can be most difficult to experience and observe.
You should always consider the overall cost, before the enrollment, you might not get relevant information on price on the official websites or brochures of these rehab centers. You should have prior enquiry done on any hidden costs, if any to avoid last minute harassment. There are many good private alcohol and drug rehab centers which have experienced and expert team to help you come over your addiction.
