Facts
- The belief that consuming alcohol will lead to positive, pleasurable experiences plays a bug part in the drinking patterns of young people.
- It is not uncommon for chronic methamphetamine users to experience psychotic behavior including intense paranoia, hallucinations, and out-of-control rage that can result in violent episodes.
- Methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms that individuals commonly experience when they stop using the drug suddenly are fatigue, depression anxiety, irritability, headaches, agitation, an inability to remain still, excessive sleeping, vivid or lucid dreams, deep REM sleep and suicidal ideation and an increased appetite.
- Rapid opiate detoxification (ROD) is an emerging treatment option for opiate withdrawal that is reportedly faster and causes less physical discomfort than traditional forms of opiate detoxification.
Adolescents - GreenvilleAs a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab center can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehab facilities have been created to focus on adolescents and their distinct requirements pertaining to drug addiction treatment. Substance abuse professionals who are trained in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
