Why wait for Spring? Do it now!

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Yes NOW is the time! If you are having a drug or alcohol problem, please seek help. Now is the perfect time to go to rehab. Do it for yourself and everyone around you.

Addicts may not realize but they are causing chaos all around them. An addict, who only has the ability to concentrate on themselves, as they are so driven to acquire the drugs or alcohol needed to relieve their pain, cause much upset and grief to those around them. The relatives around an addict are so consumed with what the addict is doing to themselves and it is always on their minds of what is happening or going to happen to their loved one, they themselves have accidents and problems.

The addict needs help. When the addict cannot realize this on his own it is best for the family to call in the experts to best handle them. The expert being an interventionist. He or she will ensure that the intervention will be controlled and done in such a way to get the addict to come to his or her own realization that they need help and agree to go to rehab. This is the best way to handle an addict or alcoholic as they will not have taken any responsibility for the addiction in the first place and it is a very hard thing to swallow that you are an addict and need help.

There are many effective drug free rehabilitation centers with highly successful programs to enable a person to live a drug or alcohol free life.

DRUGS?…Little Johnny?……NO!?…..Do you think??

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

As a parent, if you are asking yourself “Is my little Johnny using drugs?”, he very well could be. You’ve probably had that nagging question because there have been signs of using drugs ….but ….but you can’t quite believe it and you’re not sure of what to do.

He’s staying out past the curfew, he’s not hanging out with the same friends the names your hearing are different. He stays in his room sleeping more, he’s dropped out of soccer once his favorite thing to do on the weekends. You found visine in his room. You found little bags…. you notice his eyes are really bloodshot, glassy.

These are signs and as a parent you need to find out, is Johnny using drugs. This is the time when you need to have done your homework so you know the skinny on drugs and alcohol. Give your son the information on the true effects of marijuana. Show him the health problems of drugs that have been proven, growth disorders, inability to understand, study difficulties because he will have a reduced ability to learn and retain information. That dream he has of being a professional soccer player…..down the tubes, the damage to the lungs from the deep inhaling of the marijuana smoke will have taken away the capacity to run.

Give him real stories from real people who thought just smoking pot was fun. How they thought it wasn’t a real drug and how their lives were changed forever because of “just smoking a bit of pot” turned into drug addiction. For reference a good website with real stories from real people is www.drugfreeworld.org.

Before it reaches this point, the point where little Johnny now needs a good drug rehab because he has been smoking pot but is progressing to things that are stronger, we need to educate. Educate before the teenage years, the younger the better.

From the National Anti-Drug Strategy it states nationally, the number of youth, 15 to 24 years of age, reporting use of at least one illegal drug in the past year increased from 23% in 1994 to 38% in 2004 and increase of 67% over 10 years.

Education is the key and its seems from the numbers above we need to get busy!

We want all our little Johnny’s armed like Rambo. Their AK47’s armed with all the information so they can give that loaded question “Come on one hit won’t hurt” a shotgun “NO”. With that “NO” it will be one less Little Johnny in a drug rehab program!

DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS….WHAT IS GOING ON?

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

What is going on? Everywhere I turn I hear someone talking about a friend, an uncle, a cousin, their friends mother, my daughter, my nephew….. on drugs, a crack addict, smoking pot, abusing prescription drugs..on and on and on!

My uncle had an accident now he’s addicted to OxyCotin, my cousin went to a club and someone gave her ecstasy she ended up in the hospital…almost died! Gee did you hear Jody’s mom got charged with drinking and driving……Sam’s uncle is so depressed his doctor has him on prozac.

The ads are everywhere, magazines, television all promoting…take this pill and it will ALL GO AWAY! This is not true it will NOT all go away with a pill. In fact the problem the person is trying to handle will multiply and the need increases for more pills or drugs. Hence, drug addiction!

The stats on the abuse of illicit drugs and prescription drugs is on the rise as the following numbers give all the evidence.

These are the numbers from National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) - According to the 2007 NSDUH, an estimated 6.9 million persons, or 2.8 percent of the population, aged 12 or older had used prescription psychotherapeutic medications (anti-depressants and tranquilzers) nonmedically in the month prior to being surveyed. This includes 5.2 million using pain relievers (an increase from 4.7 million in 2005), 1.8 million using tranquilizers, 1.1 million using stimulants, and 350,000 using sedatives.

I find this mind boggling! But these are the statistics and just the simple fact of listening to my friends and associates, the conversations always include the mention of someone in their family, a close friend or an associate on drugs, abusing drugs, or a drug addict.

As a society we need to really take a stand so there can be changes. Get educated! Help get these friends, family members and associates to an effective drug rehabilitation center. They need help!

ECSTASY - THE PARTY FROM HELL

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Its the club drug, ecstasy, to make you dance all night. Or so the dealers and pushers tell the unsuspecting young party goers. Other lies to the unsuspecting is that they will have a heightened sexual sensations when touching or caressing another during sex.

These are all lies to entice new users. The drug shuts down the persons ability to know when enough is enough. He or she will dance until they drop from exhaustion, overheating and dehydrating the body to extremes even causing death taking ecstasy.

All the evidence shows ecstasy to be a very dangerous drug and yet it still is one of the most popular drugs among the younger people. According to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ecstasy is classified as a “Schedule I” drug, which is a description for a dangerous substance that has no medical use. Other drugs in this class are LSD, heroin and mescaline.

Also according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration 8.1 million Americans, 12 years and older tried Ecstasy in 2001, up from 6.5 million the year before.
-Between 1995 and 2001, the number of teenagers using Ecstasy increased by 140%
-92% of those who begin using Ecstasy later turn to other drugs including marijuana, cocaine and heroin.

With these numbers so high, it means our youth are also high! This is so devasting to their lives and the lives of everyone around them. We need to educate our children before they become the victims of drug abuse. We need to speak up before the slick salesman the drug pusher gets his sales pitch to our children.

If you know a drug addict addicted to ecstasy or the addiction has led to other drugs, cocaine, crack or heroin, get help for them now. A good drug rehab program is what is needed!

DRUGS - THE REAL TRAP

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Drugs are a trap! It happens so quick that a person can become a drug addict before they even realize.

The reason a person uses a drug, any drug is a mystery to some. Where one person can handle the day to day stress of work, school or peer pressure, to another it is devasting and is to be avoided at any cost. This cost can lead to drug or alcohol addiction if the pain or stress is too great for the person.

The trap: The person uses a drug to avoid their pain, whether it is physical or the mental pain called stress, this pain is alleviated for the short time of the high. When the person comes down from the high….they drop lower…. get high again to combat the feeling of being depressed from coming down, get high again. The addict is up then down, up, down, what a trap!

The person now is using more marijuana, more cocaine, more crack, more ecstasy or drinking more alcohol as they have become addicted and need more of the drug to try to get to the original high.

The addict now has a long list of physical and mental stresses caused by the addiction. His or her option is to address the addiction by going to a good drug rehab program.

COCAINE ADDICTION - A REAL KILLER

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Cocaine is a drug that will send its user down a road of depression, criminality and even death. Cocaine addiction is a killer.

It just takes one snort, one injection or even smoking or chewing of this drug and the person will be in the grips of addiction to cocaine. Cocaine produces a very intense high but it is then followed quickly by depression and a craving for more cocaine. This then drives the person to do whatever is needed to get the drug to relieve the craving and the depression. The roller coaster of emotions drives the person to do anything to get high. This is the deadly trap.

The person is now addicted! He may lose his job, then not be able to get another job. This then leads to criminal activity, stealing from family, friends, then the neighbors. No one is safe. He loses all of his morals to feed his addiction. He may even commit murder because of the addiction to cocaine.

Not only does he suffer from the depression, the loses of jobs and loved ones, risks a criminal record but the fact remains there is also the physical effects. Cocaine can lead to strokes or heart attacks …death. For a woman who is pregnant and using cocaine she will surely bring the innocent child into this world as a cocaine addict, and also risk the child having birth defects and many other problems.

Cocaine is death and destruction. If someone you know and love is using cocaine get them help now! Find a successful drug rehab program and get them there, for themselves and everyone around them.

Canada Drug Rehabs that Work

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

One of the greatest things about Canada is also one of the worst things about it.  No, it’s not the winters!  We’re talkinga bout the healthcare system.  Having access to publicly-funded medical and health experts is great, but what about the times when those programs aren’t good enough?  Then what?

Such is the case with drug rehab programs in Canada.  So many treatment centers either only offer outpatient or are just typical run-of-the-mill facilities based on the 12-steps.  The main problem with this is that those methods don’t work for most people.

There are programs out there that do focus on results instead of ho-hum daily operations because they get a government check each month.  We can help you find Canada drug rehabs that work!  Call us today at 1-877-818-6129.
