What Effects Does A Drug Treatment Center Have?

Jan. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- A drug treatment center caters to the terrible addiction of drugs and offers services to target the lethal issues that come with the abuse of drugs. It is a problem that is being tackled nationwide and is continuing to be a problem to society, but little by little the edges are being chopped off and progress is being made to get those involved in the program completely healed.

Drug addiction encompasses hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin, but it also involves drugs that have been prescribed. Individuals will even go as far as taking drugs prescribed for a family member. Some will increase the prescribed dosage from one or two to sometimes ten or more tablets per day. They use heavily prescribed drugs that can cause problems if taken above the prescribed dosage and yet they go ahead and take them anyway.

There was a recent documentary that revealed a Hollywood celebrity that enjoyed previous success, but started to take her mother’s prescribed drugs for pain that the insisted that she had. The dosage went from two to fourteen tablets per day. She started to lose her teeth and suffer great paranoia. She hardly ate any food and insisted that the pain was intense if she heard noise or if there was too much light in the room. These were self fabricated reasons to take the prescribed drugs. A drug treatment center will offer a program to an individual like this to help her to realize that her pain is not real. She is trying to put pain in her mind to be able to continue taking the drugs.

What happened a few months later after the mother, father and brothers were tired of funding her habit decided to seek intervention. Her mother was the enabler and they had to send her out of the room because her daughter was trying to get the mother on her side to prove that she was indeed in pain. After the mother left the room, the daughter recanted her story and decided that she needed to go to a drug treatment center for help.

It was like night and day. One minute she was in pain and had to take the prescribed drugs and as soon as her enabler was no longer there to support her addiction, she was ready to accept treatment.   A lot of times, as family members, we become enablers by supporting the habits of our loved ones without even realizing how much we are hurting them. Sometimes, tough love is required because these individuals will sink deeper and deeper into drug addiction and then you won’t be able to get them out of the pit of despair.

When a drug addict uses drug for a long period of time, there health begins to diminish and they are no longer interested in their own personal hygiene. They will have rotted teeth, bad breath, smelly underarms and just an overall appearance of looking like a bum. There is no other way to say it because these individuals have reached the point of not caring. Help from a drug treatment center will help these individuals to see life differently. It will force them look from within and see what the real cause of their problem is. After that kind of self discovery, they are able to see it the way it really is and accept the help to make the change needed to help them to lead a normal life again.
