Facts
- Psychological damage is the most dangerous outcome from ingesting magic mushrooms.
- Most individuals with a history of chronic drug addiction are polydrug users (users of more than one drug) and will require drug rehab for all of the substances that they abuse.
- Research indicates that a brain process known as long-term potentiating, or LTP, has been shown to be blocked in the brains of rats who were given as little as a single dose of morphine, which continued to be blocked 24 hours later in some instances.
- Withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin are similar to that of many opiate-based drugs such as heroin, morphine, Dilaudid, methadone, and codeine.
Adolescents - JacksonvilleAs a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug treatment program is often an overwhelming task. Unfortunately, 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 programs have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific requirements pertaining to drug addiction recovery. Substance abuse professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your loved one and guide them through their recovery process.
