There are numerous warning signs when a child or anyone, for that matter, is using drugs. Parents, family members and friends should differentiate between the child’s (or adult’s) normal way of handling and reacting to life and those symptoms brought about by the use of drugs. A person with a drug abuse problem may often exhibit the following sort of behavior:
• Becoming withdrawn, depressed, exhausted or careless about personal grooming
• Becoming hostile or uncooperative, and commonly breaking curfewshttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
• Relationships with family members worsening
• Hanging around with a new group of friends
• Permitting grades and school attendance to slip
• Losing interest in hobbies, sports and favorite activities
• Changing eating and sleeping patterns
• Having a hard time staying focussed
• Having red-rimmed eyes and a runny nose – without having a cold or allergies
• Stealing and lying
These characteristics may come from other causes, but drug abuse and addiction could be suspecthttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifed.
When a parent observes these indicators in their child, or when a person of any age is seen with these symptoms the correct action to take is to confront them on their drug usage. Even though this may cause some problems the thing to do is to continue to communicate. The option is that the drug user digs him or herself a deeper and deeper pit, which, if it continues in that way, they may never get out of it.
When I say confront them that doesn’t mean to attack them. All that will typically do is antagonize them. And it will create the opposite effect of what you are attempting to achieve. By the same token your communication must be given with the precise force necessary to achieve a result, not too little or not too much.
This communication most likely will not be completed in your first attempt and it’s very possible no matter how you try it it will cause an upset, antagonism, yelling, etc. At that time the inclination is to stop trying. But what you must remember is that you have not failed you just haven’t tried enough to attain the expected results. When it appears that communication is what got you into trouble the thing to do is to communicate more, not less, and it will always work out.
The result will be having saved a loved one’s life. And that will always be worth it no matter what.

A Parental Success from Drug Rehab
Here is a typical success story from a woman whose son completed the drug rehab that we recommend on this web site:
Dear All,
I remember during the desperate nightmare of addiction that had become my son's life, reading the comforting and uplifting words of a parent whose child had found help here, and daring to have hope. My son's path of addiction since thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif age of thirteen had taken us down many dark and desperate alleyways, (emergency rooms, jails, etc.), that I never imagined facing with my child.
His situation had become life threatening, and seriously depleting to us all. His sister had found a new program that claimed to be different than the traditional 12-step programs he had struggled with. He had been to several detox, rehab and recovery programs with no lasting success. Instinctively I knew that none of these programs had addressed the core issues that were the genesis of our son's addiction, and had been the continuation of some serious family history.
I had not seen Ben in quite a while because he would disappear when things got bad, either in shame or just out of compassion for the family. His sister had spoken to him on the phone and he agreed to go to this particular rehab treatment, but had passed out before he could tell us where he was. After I finally located him through friends, I had to break into the deck of the house where he was staying. It took me nearly 20 minutes to wake him. He was gaunt, grey and severely underweight. I took him directly to a hotel room close to the airport to keep him as close as possible, fearing he may change his mind and bolt. It was the longest most heinous night of my life. He was in an extreme state of addiction - shaking and violently hiccupping as he rambled on endlessly and without filters about his life on the streets and his personal hell. With the help of the staff, by phone we managed to make it through that sleepless night and stick it out till morning.
I prayed silently to myself all night that this drug rehab would be the answer and that he would no longer have to suffer this senseless, painful tragedy. We made one last stop on the way to the airport, and as he looked through his bag for something, a crack pipe fell to the ground. I sobbed silently as we went through the rest of the bag and drove on to the airport. There was another narrow escape when the Air Marshal was called to the ticket counter out of concern for Ben's condition. We could not afford to send someone with him and he courageously convinced the Marshal that he had to get on that flight and get to rehab or he would die. I believe that is exactly what would have happened.
Ben's continued courage and determination got him through the program. During his first trip back home, he walked me through all the stages of his hard work describing the difficult, yet cleansing confrontation that brought him back to himself. The work was intense and I am not sure I would have the courage to face the things he has faced.
They helped Ben to save himself.
My son celebrated his 26th birthday this year just days after his one-year anniversary of being alcohol and substance free. It is the first time in over a decade that I remember us actually celebrating his birthday - free of fear, apprehension and worry. He is in a functional and fulfilling relationship with a wonderful partner. There are no words to express the joy and gratitude I have for this opportunity to get to know my beautiful adult son, and how thankful I am that through his hard work, dedication and the gift of the staff here, he is returned to us and to the fullness of life.
Thank you!

What You're Handling With a Drug Addict
Because drugs blunt the nervous system they are a temporary solution to getting rid of undesirable feelings like sadness, boredom or fear. At times, such as in an tragedy or when there has been an car accident, drugs are necessary so an operation can be performed. Drugs are used to shut down pain and other unwanted feelings. But there are a whole other group of wanted feelings and drugs block off ALL feelings, the ones you want included, like joy, happiness and creativity to name a some.
For the drug addict, sooner or later, anyhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif kind of fhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeeling becomes more difficult to experience. That includes sexual feelings too. In the beginning when a person takes drugs they can act as a sexual stimulant, but as a person takes more and more of the drug they become a depressant and he or she no longer receives pleasure from sex and if you are a man you‘re not even able to have sex.
As the drug use goes on the user feels less alive in all ways, unfeeling actually, and he may behave as if he doesn’t care about anything or anyone around him, this includes himself. This is why it is so exasperating to the friends and family of a drug abusers. They can’t understand why he will not even do anything to help himself but the fact is he has a difficult time thinking at all so he is not really capable at that point of doing much of anything.
Before long, drugs will make a person less aware of what is going on around him. He will come to be slower, not as quick to react, or move or think. So he gets into accidents and other dangerous situations more easily when he has used drugs.
Frequently a person isn’t aware of this change in himself, even though other people may observe it and try to point it out to him. This is why it is frustrating to those around him because his situation is very obvious to them, but he is so shut off to the world around him he is not aware of it, at least not at first.
After a while the user will hit what looks like bottom and then he will hit a few more lower points that he would have never thought possible. This is when he becomes available to help, when he himself becomes aware that he needs it.
Even though by this time most of the loved ones around him are so frustrhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifated with him and may no longer care, this is when they need to get the drug abuser into a very effective drug rehab facility.

Drug Addiction Can Be Cured
Many individuals will tell you that there is no “cure” for drug or alcohol addiction. That is a brazen lie that is carried on by the psychiatric industry because they don’t have the know-how to cure. They want to drug you to mask the symptoms and tell you there is no cure so that you can be a continual patient until you die, which you are most likely to do much sooner if you follow their advice.
To define a cure for these addictions you could refer to it as complete and permanent absence from the need, want or compulsion to take drugs or alcohohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifl (drugs and alcohol are really in the same category so for the rest of the article I will simply refer to them as drugs.)
Many people most likely don’t think that that definition of a cure is conceivable since they’ve probably attempted so many solutions that did not work that they believe that to be true. Of course if what they have tried are psychiatric “solutions” I would have to agree there are no cures. The fact is that drug abuse is not a disease, it is a situation that you have gotten yourself into and genuine cures do exist.
Drug abuse is not something genetic, or a brain disease or a chemical imbalance in the brain. A lot of addicts in rehab are trained to think that they are mhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifanaging their addiction, or recovering (forever) but never, ever cured. They are taught it is something they are going to have to learn to live with.
The reality is, the hope of a cure for drug addiction is not lost but hidden under a pile of tremendous mis-information, lies, false information and false solutions. The truth is psychiatry not only contributed significantly to the start of the drug culture of the 60’s, which has increased tremendously since then, but they actually marketed to tens of thousands of college students the notion of improving life through “recreational,” mind altering drugs. They endorsed LSD as not only acceptable but an adventure.
The failure of the war on drugs is primarily due to the failure to prevent one of the most dangerous drug pushers of all time, the psychiatrist. They have infiltrated schools (does your child’s school have a psychologist or psychiatrist as a counselor for the students?) and they are now trying to transform babies into addicts.
Clearing away psychiatry’s false information about drugs and addiction is not merely a fundamental part of restoring hope, it is the first step towards achieving real drug rehabilitation.
To reiterate the title of this article, there is a cure for drug addiction!

Don't Confuse Drug Rehab With Psychiatry
While we are usually taught to respect authority figures such as teachers and ministers, that trust is even regarded as more sacred when it comes to doctors, since we actually trust them with our lives. When you consult a doctor you tend to trust that they have your needs at heart. But the fact is, it is always best to moderate that trust with some good strong skepticism.
When it comes to the subject of psychiatrists, which believe it or not are doctors too, that uncertainty needs to be turned up many notches. And if we’re talking about psychiatry and drug rehab, don’thttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif just be skeptical, run for the hills.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Most drug rehab facilities are run by psychiatrists. And what they’ll do, at best, is transform the drug addict into another form of drug addict and never cure anything. Plus, they will inform the addict that he never can be cured, only controlled, which is a brazen lie. Except if he is just saying he is not capable of curing, then, unfortunately, it is true.
The reason for this is money. Pushing harmful drugs in the name of help is big business for drug companies, and psychiatrists, in the main, are simply puppets of the drug company.
The psychiatric drug business is a multi-billion dollar industry that presents enormous financial rewards for cunning shrinks. The next time you're depressed or if you are ever advised that a psychiatrist can assist you to you get off drugs, think again. There is a very good chance that the pill he or she prescribes may not be necessary at all. And the best solution might have been something else entirely... something cheap, easy and safe.
If you are looking, you will see that the news is packed with high profile cases of psychiatrists being paid large sums to promote anti-depressant drugs, even though this is supposed to be against the law. Factually, criminals don’t care about breaking the law. They are only concerned with not getting caught. Bogus consulting contracts, counterfeit research studies, and prohibited gifts are typical in this field.
When you or somebody that is close to you has a drug addiction issue take the time and locate a facility that is not run by psychiatrists. Anyone recommending or suggesting that you take drugs to get off of drugs should be quickly eliminated from the list of people you take advice from. It is possible to find a good and effective drug rehab facility. It can be done.
Call 888-774-2345 for information about the location of the nearest affiliated rehab center or appropriate drug counseling available near you.

Drug Addicts Rely on Family and Friends
When somebody is addicted to a drug or alcohol they are typically to the point where they feel there is not a single thing they could do about their life that could make it any good. That is how they became addicted to start with. Although this is usually the time when they get abandoned by friends or family this is the very time when they need them the most.
Lacking this network is when their lives become more degraded. Just as they thought they could never slip any lower, they do.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
Besides the noticeable effects of drugs that everyone can see, for example, being ineffective in their work or losing their jobs altogether, or going into an obvious physical decline, there are spiritual problematic side effects that may affect the addict for the rest of their lives unless they do something about it. Examples of these are blankness, stupidity, forgetfulness, delusiveness and irresponsibility. They get into a “wooden” sort of state, unfeeling, insensitive, unable and definitely worthy of trust. He becomes a liability to people around him actually.
These types of symptoms are not irreversible if the right actions are taken. Going into a conventional rehab facility run by psychiatrists who will merely try to trade one addiction fhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifor another will not, however, be the solution for anyone. In fact, that type of treatment will end up being the addict’s death sentence, either a literal death or a virtual death, the type of life that is not worth living.
There are many studies that show that some toxins get stored in the body very long after they are taken in. This can generate a continuous bad effect on the person even if he is no longer addicted to drugs. There are rehab facilities that will help a person detox as a part of their complete handling of drugs. If this does not occur the person will never make a full recovery.
The problem for the addict is when he gets to the point of needing rehab he is not really able to make sane choices as to where he should go for help. He often falls victim to the psychiatrist who tells him he will help when he in reality has no workable technology to do so.
This is the point when family and friends are vital. Even though the addict may have done all the things possible to disaffect himself from his family this is when they need to move beyond their past upsets and really step up to the plate to provide help.
It really is the only chance he or she has.

Drugs do More Harm Than We Know
When a person takes drugs or alcohol it will burn up vitamins in the body, particularly B complex vitamins, which are essential to the central nervous system as well as many other parts of the body.
Alcohol is definitely a drug. Like any other drug if you take it in too large of volume it is poisonous and can kill you. Short of that, there will be lesser degrees of reaction to the poison. Like other drugs, alcohol uses up vitamins in your body and as a result you can feel tired or sick after drinking more than you should. That is what is called a hangover. If you burn up too many vitamins your body will start to shake and you’ll get sweats. You can start to worry and begin to see things that are not there, this is called DTs, or delirium tremens.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
The body needs vitamins to stay alive. If you don’t eat a healthy diet you are probably not getting the vitamins you need. Most people who are taking drugs or alcohol to excess usually are not careful to eat properly. This weakens your immune system. Not having proper nutrition will make you feel tired and you are likely to get sick much easier. Then when you do get sick it also takes that much longer to get well.
With just small routine amounts of toxins that a person runs into in everyday life the liver will help filter them out of the body. But, when the body is inundated with drugs, including alcohol, the liver goes into overload and it can’t process them out and it weaken the body overall. In general, not a pretty picture.
So, if a person is taking drugs, legal or illegal, to make himself feel better it’s not going to work. Each time the body burns up more vitamins and the situation escalates. Not only is it not making you feel better it is making you feel worse as soon as the drug wears off and it becomes a rapidly dwindling spiral. Watch the water speed up when you flush the toilet. It’s the perfect analogy.
Make no mistake, the body does not differentiate whether the drugs are illehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifgal or legal. The reaction is the same. It burns up vitamins and weakens it in many ways, thereby making it susceptible to disease and any illness you want to name. That’s what occurs to the body, you can refer to many of my previous articles (and many future ones) on the blog to get information about what it does to the mind.

Drugs are Absolutely Habit Forming
I’ve been writing about incorrect, untrue and distorted data that people have about drugs. The one I’m going to talk about today is the mistaken idea that some people operate off of “that most drugs are not habit forming.”
It would be far more correct to say that all drugs are habit forming. I don’t know if that is true but if it’s not it is not that far from the mark. Even one of the more somewhat harmless drugs like caffeine is still very habit forming. I’ve known of many individuals who have attempted to quit coffee and they get withdrawal headaches to name one of the more common http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsymptoms. Or how about the coffee drinkers who can’t get started in the morning until they have had their first cup.
But I am not here to talk about the dangers of caffeine. Here is the way it is. When a person takes a drug and then it starts to wear off that person will want more of that drug, more precisely his body will crave it.
When that occurs, say the person took a pain pill to numb a pain, then when the drug wears off, the pain not only comes back but way stronger than before.
If someone had a situation that made him want to take drugs like feeling anxious around people he may take the drug to loosen up. When the drug wears off the feeling of nervousness comes back even worse than before and he wants MORE of the drug to calm himself.
Here is another very real thing that can happen to a person even if they have quit drugs years before. Let’s say, as an example, that a guy used to be a fairly frequent user of cocaine. He has somehow kicked the habit on his own out of sheer will power. Then one day he sees some of his friends playing a game of basketball and he joins in. He works up a great perspiration and feels great. But, however, drugs that the body was not able to metabolize when they were taken (because they were extreme, for example) get stored in the cells. Sweating helps to release them from the cells and they move back into the blood stream. Suddenly the guy starts to feel a little bit high and as it is wearing off he begins to crave the drug again and before you know it he is back taking cocaine on a regular basis again.
It is an all too real example of why people frequently go back to drugs http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifevehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifn after seeming to have kicked the habit. It also is very strong proof that drugs are definitely habit forming.

It would be far more correct to say that all drugs are habit forming. I don’t know if that is true but if it’s not it is not that far from the mark. Even one of the more somewhat harmless drugs like caffeine is still very habit forming. I’ve known of many individuals who have attempted to quit coffee and they get withdrawal headaches to name one of the more common http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsymptoms. Or how about the coffee drinkers who can’t get started in the morning until they have had their first cup.
But I am not here to talk about the dangers of caffeine. Here is the way it is. When a person takes a drug and then it starts to wear off that person will want more of that drug, more precisely his body will crave it.

Life Problems are Not Handled by Drugs
In the last couple of articles we’ve gone over lies and general propaganda people have gotten about drugs. The next one we’ll go over here is that “No one really knows what causes people to take drugs.”
There are an infinity of reasons why people take drugs and they are as individual as people’s fingerprints but they all boil down to a basic cause. That is that people use drugs to get rid of unwanted sensations and feelings.
I’ll get into some good examples of that in a minute but before that let me say that if you’ve ever heard that you or any person are genetically predisposed to taking drugs or alcohol, do not, for even a second, fall for that line. That is a fraud perpetuated by drug companies and psychiatrists who want people to be taken in by the trap that nothing can be done about their situation so they might as well just surrender and take our drugs.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
(Something can most certainly be done about drug and alcohol abuse and to find out what you can click here.)
Now I’ll cover some of the basic reasons people fall into the lure of drugs. A person might have a body problem that they feel they need pain pills to cope with it effectively. Back pain is a common one or maybe the pain caused by an accident. That is not an illogical response to pain. But it will become a problem when the person becomes dependent upon the drug both physically and emotionally. Typically this happens when the individual doesn’t follow the prescription recommendations and takes more than they should. Doctors are sometimes to blame as well because they will over-prescribe the pain pills.
A person may take a sedative or smoke pot or take any number of different drugs because they are having to deal with more stress than they feel they can handle. Once again it is the abuse of this that will cause a problem.
Some other examples are being unable to sleep or feeling depressed) or just feeling bored.
There are a variety of reasons but some of the above mentioned can be dealt with through proper nutrition and or exercise rather than resorting to drugs.
The most important thing to remember is that drugs are only a temporary solution to unwanted feelings. To get a real solution, the person needs to fix http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwhathttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif was causing the problem in the first place. Only in this way can one get back to a state of normalcy and drugs are never the solution.
