Illegal Drugs and Addiction

Illegal Drugs
Illegal drugs are those drugs which have no approved medical use. These are the drugs one usually thinks of when he thinks of drug abuse or drug addiction. These drugs certainly are creating widespread abuse and addiction; however, prescription drugs such as painkillers, anti-depressants, and anti-psychotics are increasingly showing up as drugs of abuse and addiction. They are appearing as the primary drugs of use as well as more and more often showing up as additional drugs of abuse in addiction treatment facilities. The debilitating effects of these illegal drugs and prescription drugs can be life threatening and even fatal. Narconon Arrowhead specializes in a drug free approach to creating drug free lives. Addiction is handled fully at all levels and with all substances. Our 76% success rate speaks for itself.

Drug - Cocaine and Addiction

Drug - Cocaine
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain. Cocaine has been labeled the drug of the 1980s and '90s, because of its extensive popularity and use during this period. However, cocaine is not a new drug. In fact, it is one of the oldest known drugs. The pure chemical, cocaine hydrochloride, has been an abused substance for more than 100 years, and coca leaves, the source of cocaine, have been ingested for thousands of years. There are basically two chemical forms of cocaine: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The hydrochloride salt, or powdered form of cocaine, dissolves in water and, when abused, can be taken intravenously (by vein) or intranasal (in the nose). Freebase refers to a compound that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. The freebase form of cocaine is smokable.

 

Rehab Care and Addiction

Rehab Care
When one is preparing to make a decision on rehab care for self or a loved one, one usually has a strong interest in exactly what extent and type of care is being provided by the drug rehab facility being considered. These are valid questions which should be answered to one’s full satisfaction and understanding by the registration personnel of the facility. Is it long term or short term? Traditional or non-traditional, drug free or are drugs used in an attempt to handle other drug problems? Is there a full detoxification procedure in addition to the withdrawal process or is it withdrawal process? Get these questions and all the other’s you may have answered to your full satisfaction.

 

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.
