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.

RITALIN - Little Johnny’s Killer Kiddie Cocaine

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Kiddie Cocaine! Poor man’s cocaine! This prescription drug can kill, whether your doctor has prescriped it for Little Johnny or he’s managed to buy it from a dealer and abuse it.

Here is a story about Matthew. This is quoted from a “Say No to drugs and Yes to Life” booklet.

Matthew was a teenager who had been on Ritalin for seven years. He died suddenly in March 2000. Although he had no history of heart problems, the autopsy revealed clear signs of small vessel damage. His distraught parents were told by one of the medical examiners that the heart of a healthy, fully grown man weighs about 350 grams. Matthew’s heart weighted 402 grams. His death certificate reads: “Death caused from long term use of
Methylphenidate (Ritalin).”

Also a study supported by National Institute on Drug Abuse found that users of Ritalin and similar drugs “showed the highest percentage of cocaine abuse.” As a person builds up a tolerance to the drug they will turn to stronger more potent drugs which is an escape from an unwanted condition that first lead them to abuse the drug in the first place.

Kurt Cobain was prescriped Ritalin at 7. It is believed this lead to his abuse later of stronger drugs. Which in turn lead to his suicide in 1994.

Had anyone taken the steps to intervene with his drug addiction to get him to a drug rehab with the help of an interventionist we would be hearing his music today.

It would seem that the effects of this drug, Ritalin means “death” to anyone who is prescribed it or they attain it through the local dealer. If you have someone you know and love and they are abusing Ritalin or are now abusing more potent drugs such as cocaine or crack cocaine, heroin do not wait a minute longer! They need help and there are excellent drug rehab programs to help them become drug free and live a healthy life!

DRUGS HAVE TAKEN THEM …

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

….before their time! We have lost so many of the “greats”! It is such a loss when we lose someone who has given so much to our society through their creativity. I don’t know about you but I feel I have been robbed! I, nor my children will ever get to see Michael Jackson live in concert, ever!

How is it that someone so talented and so full of life can fall into this black hole of addiction. They give us so much through their art and it seems that they would be so happy being so talented and being able to give so much….what goes wrong?

That black hole of addiction starts with a pain or agony or stress of lifes pressures. Let’s face it Michael had a lot of pressure and stress. It is a wonder he was able to be as creative as he was.

I have seen this also happen very close to home. My son who is a performer, performed with another young, very very talented individual who fell victim to drug addiction. He became addicted to cocaine which then led to other drugs. He was unable to find a successful drug rehab and was unfortunately prescribed antidepressants. He went into a tail spin. It seems that the fate of these incredible people end in death. What they need is a drug rehab program not more drugs!

Addiction and drug abuse has to end! We need drug free rehabilitation answers and they are out there. Families and friends need to get educated, find the resources, find that interventionist and save their loved ones. Help get them to an effective drug rehab center.
