Alcohol or drug abuse involves repeated and excessive use of a substance to produce pleasure or escape reality, despite its destructive effects. If you have withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop, you have progressed from abuse to dependence. If you simply can't do without it, you have moved all the way to addiction. In any of these three situations, you or the person you care about needs a drug rehab program. Substance abuse can involve illegal drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, "party drugs" like Ecstasy, or legal drugs used improperly, such as prescription drugs like OxyContin and other opiate painkillers, and tranquilizers. Drug rehab programs are always required for dependence and addiction to these kinds of drugs. Alcohol is also a drug and, as we know, is addictive and highly destructive. Drug rehab as soon as possible is a necessity for someone addicted to alcohol, because of its terrible effects on health, its association with traffic and other accidents, and destruction of family life. Inhalants such as nail polish, gasoline or various aerosol sprays are often abused, and are classified as chemicals, not drugs. They are extremely dangerous, and if used habitually can lead to early disease or sudden death. Drug rehab is urgent in case of inhalant abuse, dependence or addiction. Here are some of the signs and symptoms of drug addiction and abuse, any of which should be investigated further. If one or more of them leads to a confirmation of addiction, a drug rehab program is definitely needed: *Can't relax or have fun without drugs or alcohol. *Using non-medical drugs first thing in the morning. *Sudden change in quality of work. *Borrowing money, selling valued possessions, stealing items from work. *Secretive or suspicious behavior, such as frequent trips to the restroom, the basement, or other isolated areas where drug abuse might be undisturbed. *Mood swings, sudden outbursts, anger and irritability, manic behavior, or a whole new change in attitude toward life. *Talking incoherently or making inappropriate remarks.
Slide 2: *Associating with known users instead of friends who don't abuse drugs or alcohol. *Worsening in physical appearance, sudden weight loss or gain, sloppy grooming. *Talking about drugs, the fun of drinking, or pressuring others to get into these activities. *Wearing sunglasses or long sleeve shirts at inappropriate times. *Expressing or showing exhaustion, depression and hopelessness. Whatever the drug or chemical that you or the person you care about is abusing, it can take over one's life, disrupt relationships, impair daily functioning, and destroy your peace of mind. If any of these symptoms are present, you need to know more about what a drug rehab program can do to handle it. Call a drug rehab referral service and talk to an alcohol and drug rehab program counselor to get more information and some professional help right away.
