Facts

  • Party-going young adults abuse Xanax in combination with other drugs such as stimulants and cocaine, which are known as "Xannie poppers".
  • Physical dependence to amphetamine occurs when the body has adapted to the presence of these drugs, and withdrawal symptoms occur if its use is stopped abruptly.
  • Methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms may last for days, or weeks or even months for chronic methamphetamine users.
  • Because of the painful physical and mental consequences of cocaine withdrawal, relapsing back into cocaine abuse is very common because the user feels that using cocaine to avoid withdrawal will work.

Drug Rehab in Alexandria

Having difficulties with any kind of drug addiction is a large burden to carry, and one which comes with a lot of consequences if left unresolved. Men and women with the best of intentions who want to quit usually try and do so numerous times over with no success, and wind up just falling deeper into a life of addiction. There are causes why individuals cannot quit on their own, and these reasons are what make drug rehabilitation in Alexandria a more efficient and proven method of beating drug addiction.

The added benefits of a drug rehab in Alexandria involve having the support and tools at hand to handle any problems and challenges that may come up in the course of detox and withdrawal, as well as the chance to address the real troubles that triggered drug addiction which are typically not physical ones at all. For example, many persons become involved in substance abuse to mask and avoid serious problems in their lives. If one only attempts to overcome the physical cravings and such on one's own, they really aren't making any headway at really resolving the psychological and emotional problems, that once resolved, will ensure long-term sobriety.

Once a particular person comes to terms with the truth that they need assistance to resolve drug addiction, the next action is selecting the appropriate drug rehab for them. Some drug rehab programs don't call for any form of inpatient stay and provide services on an outpatient basis for example. At this type of drug rehab the individual gets treatment in the course of the day and returns home in the evening. While this sort of drug rehab may appear convenient, it will not provide the proper treatment environment for someone who needs to step away from drug influences and other conditions which could compromise one's sobriety. The most established and successful treatment settings are those which require an inpatient or residential stay, so that the individual can focus entirely on bettering themselves and healing from addiction, not on every day interruptions and drug addiction triggers.

For instance, someone or some circumstance in one's environment could be the actual cause of one's drug use. If the person returns to this each day while in drug rehab, all gains will be lost and most will usually relapse. There are also different lengths of stay even in inpatient and residential drug rehabilitation programs, with treatment curriculums ranging from 30 days to up to a year for some. As a rule of thumb, somebody who is intent on resolving addiction issues once and for all should stay in drug rehab as long as it requires. A month in treatment is rarely enough time to even recover physically from chronic substance abuse. A significant amount of time is essential, even months in some instances, to benefit from intensive therapy and other treatment tools to heal mentally and emotionally so that one can genuinely make a fresh start once treatment is complete.

The expense of drug rehab can differ substantially of course, depending on the amenities supplied, length of stay, etc. While expense should never be an obstacle to getting life-saving treatment in drug rehab, it is a logistic that some may have concern over. After all, addiction is inclined to exhaust all sources and it can be difficult to pay for drug rehab when the time comes. Fortunately, most private drug treatment programs accept many varieties of private health insurance as well as Medicare and Medicaid. Some drug treatment programs will even work with individuals to either offer payment assistance or offer a sliding fee scale based mostly off of one's income and individual circumstances. Addicted individuals and their family members will find that treatment counselors are more than prepared to help supply solutions and support to get the logistical and monetary concerns resolved so that these are not a barrier to getting the individuals started in drug rehab.

If an individual you know is addicted to drugs but will not readily accept the offer to go to drug treatment, drug interventions are a last ditch yet efficient method of helping persuade them to do so. Drug treatment programs in Alexandria work closely with professional drug interventionists who are skilled and experienced in getting individuals to treatment efficiently. An intervention is a tool which can assist drug addicted individuals see past the immediate need to satiate their drug habit, and understand the gift that is being provided to them which can help them make a healthier and fruitful life for themselves.

If you or a person you know would like help, get in touch with a treatment counselor at a drug rehab to get any questions answered and any assistance needed to get the process started right away. The sooner the individual is in drug rehab, the faster they can be back in the game of life and winning.
