Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

Alcoholic and Addiction

Alcoholic
The term ‘Alcoholic’ is simply the name given to someone addicted to alcohol. Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated and compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances despite adverse social, mental, and physical consequences. All the various formulas regarding how many drinks, how often, are meaningless when reviewed against the above definition. The compulsive seeking and use could be by the minute, hour, day, etc. The key is compulsive seeking and use, despite what it does to self, family, or career. It is not that the alcoholic doesn’t care; it is that the use has become compulsive and the cravings, guilt, and depression keep him or her drinking.

 

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Center and Addiction

Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Center
Alcoholic Anonymous statistics show a retention rate of 5 – 7%. 12 step treatment options definitely work for some but not all by a long ways. Many shorter term inpatient alcohol treatment centers are based on 12 step methodologies and as such often suffer from the same low retention and success rates. Narconon Arrowhead is a long term inpatient alcohol treatment center that used the more effective but less traditional methods of education and empowerment. We do not treat alcoholism as an incurable disease that one is stuck with for life. Our success rates show that when the factors of cravings, guilt and depression are fully confronted and resolved that the need and desire for alcohol, or other substances for that matter, fades into the past as a motivating factor.

 

Drug Facts and Addiction

Drug Facts
There are common denominators between drugs though each may have its own effects and side effects. All drugs are essentially poisons with the amount taken determining the effect. A small amount of any drug will act as a stimulant (increases activity). A larger amount of any drug will act as a sedative (suppressing activity). A still larger amount poisons and can kill. This is true of any drug and only the amount needed differs. Drugs act to block of sensations, unfortunately this includes desirable sensations as well as unwanted sensations. Though sometimes of short term value in handling pain, they also wipe out ability, alertness, and greatly confuse thinking processes. At an addictive level drugs serve as major sources of numbing mental and physical sensation, while at the same time increasing unwanted attitudes, emotions, sensations, and pains, when attempts are made to cease use.
