Facts
- The problem with both recreational abuse and legitimate use of Adderall is that dependent users need larger and larger doses of the drug to achieve the desired effects.
- Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
- While abuse of OxyContin was once seen as a "white-collar" addiction, this problem has been on the rise among all ethnic and economic groups.
- Tolerance to magic mushrooms may occur, especially when they are ingested continuously over a short period of time.
Women - SaratogaDrug and alcohol treatment programs for women provide a very good way for female addicts to address their addiction issues in an all-female environment. There are many advantages to attending a drug rehabilitation center for women including the fact that such programs cater to issues specific to their female clients. While receiving treatment in an all women treatment program the client will also deal with personal issues such as problems with their husbands, boyfriends and/or men in general. Most women drug addicts struggle with physical or sexual abuse from their past. Resolving these sensitive issues while in rehab will give the recovering woman the capacity to face her problems in an environment that is free of judgment and negativity.
