« Previous Entries Next Entries »Success in rehab; relative to each addict
Monday, January 21st, 2008Where drug rehabs are concerned, how is success measured? Is it in how long a person remains drug-free, or how long it took to accomplish that, or how it was accomplished, or the fact that someone has “graduated” from a program?
For that matter, should “success” be measured at all? Doesn’t that automatically set some people [...]
History of rehab centers and Synanon
Monday, January 21st, 2008A drug rehabilitation center called “Synanon” (mentioned in a former blog, remember?) was active during the late ‘60s, when the drug scene was at an all-time high (no pun intended). The center has since dissolved. (For more info, read the earlier blog or type in “Synanon” in a search engine.)
Anyway, just last week (Oct.21-27), there [...]
Effects of Drug Rehab on an individual
Monday, January 21st, 2008Some people believe that drug rehabilitation is an on-going process. In other words, a person will have to continue some sort or some phase of the rehab process for the rest of his or her life, even if he or she is not actively participating in an “organized” program.
Other people believe that it’s a one-time [...]
Various treatment options for different addicts; Do not judge!!
Monday, January 21st, 2008Talk about opening up a can of worms! There are some websites out there that have made certain sure that everyone knows that certain types of drug rehab treatment are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
Going to AA or NA? ANNNKKKK! (Think game show “wrong answer” buzzer sound). Not going to work, big waste of time. Why, programs [...]
Drug Rehab Centers
Sunday, January 20th, 2008Guess what? There is more than one drug rehab center out there to choose from. This one is privately supported and maintained. This one is publicly funded. You know, like those that the United Way and the Salvation Army and other agencies offer. So, is one better than the other? Maybe in [...]
Drug Treatment variations
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008Some drug rehab programs are really beginning to focus on what caused the addiction in the first place. In other words, did something in the addict’s life make that person more inclined to become addicted?
Stress is always a biggie. And, people handle stress differently. But, even those who stress out easily don’t use the same [...]
A personal drug rehabilitation story
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008Personal experience and testimony is by far one of the most convincing ways to prove that doing something a certain way can work. When someone does lick an addiction without participating in a drug rehab program, it definitely makes for an interesting story.
Basically, it went like this. The nightly beer had turned into three or [...]
Various Drug Rehab Choices
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008There are drug rehab centers out there that cater to crack cocaine addiction only. The thought of a specialized center got the old brain juices flowing, thus this blog.
OK, so, picture this. You’ve got this fictional place—Podunk, population 100,000. Unfortunately, of those 100,000, 30,000 are addicted to crack cocaine. So, someone comes along, and puts [...]
Long term rehab options for addicts and their families
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Two advantages (I guess that’s the right word) to long-term drug rehab: more time to focus on treatment and recovery AFTER withdrawal, and length of time that one remains sober. Withdrawal causes some MAJOR physical reactions: sweating, nausea, inability to eat, extreme nervousness, just to name a few. It sometimes takes a week to go [...]
Substance Abuse Treatment
Sunday, January 6th, 2008OK, just read an article in an SEO where the writer ripped Alcoholics Anonymous a new one. Now, to the writer’s credit, AA wasn’t the only one mentioned, but also other substance abuse treatment programs and protocols. However, AA is what the author focused on the most.
The author took exception to practically every aspect of [...]
When is inpatient drug rehab a good idea?
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008An inpatient drug rehab center might be a good idea for someone who feels that something in his or her life may have contributed or be contributing to the drug or alcohol abuse or addiction problem being battled. The old “part of the problem or part of the solution” thing, in other words.
It is for [...]
Which drug rehabilitation center really is best?
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008A center that receives public and/or government support, or a privately run center? A “co-ed” center, or a “sex-specific” center (men only/women only)? A center that is run on a strict, “my way or the highway” basis, or one that considers itself more flexible?
Why not bring a few more questions into an already muddled subject? [...]
Drug Rehabilitation
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008If drugs (such as methadone or antidepressants) are used during drug rehabilitation, then is it really rehabilitation, or just switching one drug for another?
Yeah, that can of worms just got opened. Well, SOMEBODY had to do it.
A “knee-jerk” reaction to that question might be, “Well, no, it isn’t. The whole idea of drug rehabilitation is [...]
Various Drug Treatment Options
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008
Biophysical treatment is a drug rehab treatment that is currently being practiced in some areas of the country. This treatment involves the patient using a sauna in order to flush all the toxins from the body.
The theory behind this is that once a drug goes through the liver, “metabolites” remain behind, and stay in [...]
Origins of Drug Treatment Programs
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008Baby boomers may remember (make that probably WILL remember) the drug movement of the ‘60s and early ‘70s. It was quite a scene. And, not a good one.
Anyway, when people finally began to face the fact that there was indeed a “drug problem” and it didn’t just affect “ghettos” or inner-city areas, or wasn’t just [...]
