Drug – ‘Meth’ and Addiction

‘Meth’ is short for methamphetamine which is a whit crystalline drug that can be taken by snorting, injecting, smoking, and at times orally. It is extremely addictive and can create uncontrollable cravings even after only one use. Despite the raiding and closing of the majority of clandestine meth labs in this country, there are a few that survive and the void has definitely been filled by foreign drug cartels operating in the U.S. making meth readily available and easily affordable. For this reason meth addiction continues to climb at epidemic levels and has spread to all corners of the country. One is literally taking their lives in the hands right from the very first use.

Drug Addiction Treatment and Addiction

Drug addiction treatment to be effective needs to help and guide the individual in confronting and gaining the skills and abilities needed to resolve all areas of their lives – not merely ceasing their drug use which is only the beginning. Personal issues of nutrition and gaining a healthy balance need to be addressed. Issues of cravings, quilt, and depression resulting from addiction need confronted and relieved, legal issues often exist. Broken or strained relationships in the family and workplace need resolved. The issue of how the addict gets on with his life in a drug free and productive manner, and be happy and fulfilled doing so, can be one of the biggest issues of all. Addicts and alcoholics are often quite concerned about being miserable and suffering without the drugs or alcohol. Narconon Arrowhead is an empowering program that assists the individual in resolving each of these situations as well as others he or she may have. We don’t enforce or insist rather we help, guide, and assist the individual in finding their own unique answers that will work and more importantly continue to work for them. This helps insure a continuing drug free life as their solutions are theirs and not something dictated or enforced on them.

 

Drug Abuse and Addiction

Drug abuse begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain for which the individual does not have an immediate answer. The person feels that his problem or pain is major, persistent, and without solution or relief. For these reasons, some people, young or old, male or female, high income or low, begin to use potentially addictive drugs or alcohol in an attempt to relieve the pain or discomfort. These drugs may even offer temporary relief. At this point the individual will continue to use in an effort to find continuing relief. Tolerance for the drug or alcohol sets in requiring larger and larger doses more and more often to obtain the same results. At this point the door has been opened to drug abuse and it is only a short walk to full blown addiction.

 

Drug Abuse and Addiction

What is drug abuse and how is it different from drug addiction? In fact there is a very fine line between these two and the term drug abuse is in facto drug addition but it seems less devastating to say drug abuse. Both involve the use of drugs to the point of creating adverse affects to ones health, relationships, career, mental outlook, etc. Addiction usually implies a compulsive uncontrolled used despite these effects being created. If one is continuing to abuse drugs despite the adverse consequences then there really is not much of a difference. It is mostly a matter of which term one chooses to use. Both will eventually lead to one of three outcomes – Jail, Death, or Sobriety. I suppose if you had to make a distinction you could say addiction is closer to jail or death.
