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.
Drug Rehab Information By State
Medical drugs are generally prescribed as short term solutions in the handling of pain.
Many of these
medical drugs will build up tolerance in the system requiring increased amounts for the same effect. Thus dependence sets in and one begins taking these at abusive and addictive levels before long.
This accounts for drugs like OxyContin being more and more used in illegal black markets to handle
addiction to them. Black market illegal use of drugs such as these is outstripping legitimate use and prescription.
Anti-depressants and anti-psychotics are much the same story with many school age children selling their prescriptions in the school yard.
Add the horrific side effects, some of which are life threatening, and what we see is an epidemic rise in the
abuse and
addiction to prescription medications.
Drug
addiction has been called, and deservedly so, the plague of the modern world.
There is hardly a family in the world that hasn’t been impacted by drug
addiction in one form or another. Current thinking has not been successful in curbing this plague let alone solving it.
Traditional
treatment options have simply failed to deliver on any significant level.
For over 40 years now Narconon has been delivering a non-traditional approach to healing addiction with proven, consistent, long-term results. Narconon is a long-term and drug free approach that actually empowers the individual to not only cease use and end cravings, but delivers into his hands the skills and abilities to move forward and face life’s challenges without resorting to drug or alcohol use out of desperation.
A drug free productive lifetime is our specialty!
Addictions come in all shapes and sizes.
Some are to alcohol, some to street drugs, some to prescription does, and unfortunately most are a combination of these and are seldom confined to only one drug or substance.
Treatments unfortunately come in all shapes and sizes as well.
Unfortunately because all the salesmanship in the world can’t make a bad
treatment a good one.
So when it come to treatments for
addictions look for programs that have a history, experience with the wide assortment of modern day addictions, are themselves drug free, and most important of all – a proven success rate. Narconon offers all of these with over 40 years of experience in handling all forms of
addictions in a drug free manner and with a success rate consistently over 70 %.
Substance
abuse treatment on any type begins to be more and more effective as the addict or
alcoholic becomes more and more willing to be helped and to help themselves.
Most interventions prior to
treatment have this goal in mind, to get at least some willingness on the part of the addict.
This willingness is often tenuous and fleeting at the start of substance
abuse treatment.
Part of effective withdrawal would be the actions taken to extrovert the addict from current pains and discomforts that can and do play havoc with any willingness.
At Narconon Arrowhead our
substance abuse treatment continually involves fortifying the existing willingness of the participant as well as actions designed to increase willingness all along the way. The being himself always is seeking to do better and beat the
addiction despite any appearances, statements, or actions to the contrary. The more the addict wins at the battles of
addiction the more willing he becomes and the more energy he will expend on his own survival. Substance abuse treatment is about much more than simply ceasing drug or alcohol use.
