Some people might say the most challenging drug addiction is with prescription drugs. Because this is not illegal and available at your local drug store, no one watches your shoulders to make sure you don't abuse it.
Doctors certainly don't give medicine with your intention to abuse it. Doctors, pharmacies and literature provided with each recipe clarifying if the drug has the potential to be addictive.
Some prescription drugs know well well what they do, while others stumble into problems that are not aware of the dangers they face until it's too late. About 20% of Americans currently abuse prescription drugs for non-medical reasons - and statistics increase every year.
Recipe drugs that are most commonly misused are sedatives, sedatives, stimulants and narcotics. Each of these drugs has legitimate medical use, but each can also be addictive when used incorrectly.
Recipe drugs can be people who start using drugs for post-surgical pain or anxiety, and then find that by using it, they can experience high large drugs.
This prescription drug actor will go from the doctor to the doctor, even traveling out of town, to get a new recipe. The doctor depends on patients to report the use of their medicine, but those who are addicted to often lie to get recipe rechargies.
At some point, they can even use drug sanitary napkins to write their own recipes, which are illegal. Others use online pharmacies - both in the United States and in other countries - to meet their continuing needs for more drugs to maintain their addiction.
Another frightening trend in recipe drug abuse is among teenagers who get this medicine from their parents' medicine cabinets to use or be sold to other prescription drug addicts.
What they don't realize is that the harmful effects of abuse of prescription drugs are as bad as forbidden drugs. Too often using narcotics can cause strokes or respiratory problems that end with death.
Stimulants that can provide the main benefit for young people with disorders of attention deficit into psychoactive agents when misused, leading to paranoia, anger, seizure and heart system failure.
Abuse of prescription drugs and free drugs increases at alarming level. Emergency rooms and care facilities have seen a 300% increase in cases of abuse of prescription drugs among all age groups.
Medical and psychological interventions are needed for detoxification of drug abuse. Chemical body has been changed by these drugs and must be returned to the right balance.
These drugs may be left behind from permanent changes in brain function and mental processing capabilities. Like addiction, the underlying problem that encourages addictive behavior must be done in psychotherapy. Group therapy can also be useful, as well as regular participation in community-based programs such as anonymous narcotics. The prescription drug actors don't like going to the program with street narcotics users because they think they are somehow different, but they don't.
Narcotics addicts are drug addicts, whether they buy drugs in the corner of the dark road or steal it from the family member cabinet. It takes us to the last important step - family warning and friends about the need to lock or remove potentially addictive drugs so that one access point is again rejected.
