Prescription Drug Abuse and Treatment


Substance abuse is very widespread. It can refer to any substance that a person gets addicted to. This can refer to any substance and this substance is something that one should not get dependent on. Most abused substances are alcohol, drugs – prescribed or otherwise and nicotine in various forms.

Being addicted to something is like falling and falling and not being able to get out of that deep hole. We keep on falling and it is too late for us to realize that we are in too deep and that we cannot get out already. That is how it is to be addicted.

Most people do not realize they have been too dependent on something unless someone points it out to them. They keep denying that they need that particular thing for them to feel better or complete when in fact, their body is just telling them that it needs that particular thing because it has been used to it already. With alcohol abuse, it is often easy to point it out to the person, as well as with nicotine abuse. This is because we can really see that they drink alcohol more than they should and it is done not occasionally but everyday. With nicotine, we also see them smoking cigarette, therefore we can visually count how many cigarettes or packs of cigarettes they can finish in a day.

But when it comes to drug abuse, it is very hard to detect, especially if we are talking about prescription drug abuse. It can be from any medication but it usually starts with something as simple as a pain medication. The body gets so used to specific chemical that it would look for it every time you have feel any body pain, muscle aches or headaches. For example, you have a headache which is unbearable already, you took a pill but nothing happens or you are just too impatient for the medication to work. You popped another pill and this time, you felt the meds working and you also feel good. The next day, you have another headache and you took another 2 pills and it worked. This routine continued for the whole week and on the 2nd week, 2 pills do not give you the same result, so you added another pill and this went on until your body gets accustomed to the chemical that it will look for it even if you only have a minor headache, and sometimes, you will even think that you have a headache so you can take the medication.

When this happens, you are already addicted and might want to enroll yourself in a drug rehab program where the attendants wear Baby Phat scrubs. They will be carrying out the orders of the doctor to minute details. They will also personally see to the welfare of the people in the program.

Most of the attendants will be wearing landau 8335 as this will allow them better movement and without any restrictions. This will allow them to better attend to their patients. And as a patient, you will want someone who will be able to attend to your needs quickly.
