Every illness requires expert clinical and psychological support. This support is gained at rehabs which are well equipped with modern technology and have good facilities. These rehabs carry out one on one discussion with their clients and then based on their requirements, likes, social surrounding and economic background chart out treatment programs. These programs are based on their individual preferences and personal characteristics. The recovery programs not only focus on physical health but also deal with psychological problems if any. The rehabs have state of art technology, which is effectively used for benefits of their clients. The psychologists prepare behavioral therapies for reforming the thinking process. By doing this their clients are able to deal with their problems with a new perspective and renewed thinking pattern.

There are various types of addictions like alcohol addiction, drug addiction etc. these are more harmful types, whereas there are some types of addiction which are not that harmful to the individuals. These addictions can be less fatal and do not harm the body. These are compulsive shopping, cleaning and so on. These individuals are often tagged as fanatics. They are obsessed with their habits. But these are comparatively less harmful habits and have more to do with psychological problem than physical. But the above mentioned addictions are very dangerous if not treated on time.

A more personalized approach is carried out and the treatment is planned accordingly. They do not follow the routine path of treatment, but experiment new recovery plans to get effective and better results. The rehabs do not only aim recovering from the addiction but also carry out programs which help in rebuilding the lost self esteem, self confidence etc. Drug treatment programs at rehabs primarily focus on getting the toxins out of the patients’ body. This process is called detoxification. It requires professional support and expert supervision.

Lack of which can call for troubles. Hence, it is always recommended to be admitted into rehabs for getting professional support. These rehab centers not only provide support and professional help for recovery but also change the life style by changing the mindset and thinking patterns of an individual. These centers also rope in the families for prolong support in providing the newly sobers a very healthy environment around them, which prevents them from going back to the addiction.

Answer by Witty Wabbit
“What are the Harmful Consequences of Drug Use?” : http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hc-ps/pubs/adp-apd/straight_facts-faits_mefaits/harmful-torts-eng.php#harmful covers the BEHAVIOUR.

The next page “What is Canada’s Drug Strategy?” discusses about the PREVENTION too.

Treatment, eh?! http://www.drugabuse.gov/DrugPages/Treatment.html might help.

I think this article: “The evolutionary origins and significance of drug addiction” might help ya too…

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1174878/

Most importantly,”Drugs distribution and use in ancient environments” will give you a clear picture about the ancient substance abuse.

But I betcha, to trace the origin is an impossible stuff … 🙁

Had to retire early

Image by K. Kendall
Met this gentleman at the acupuncture clinic this afternoon. He’s there for his hands.

"It’s my work," he told me. "I was in automobile body repair, always using my hands, banging them up. I had to quit working. Got carpal tunnel, couldn’t use my hands no more. Started doing auto body work when I was a kid. My grandfather taught me. He was Native American, all my people are Native. We moved here forty years ago when the shipyards was hiring. But that wasn’t my real work. My real work always was advocacy for Native people. Started an alcohol recovery clinic right after I moved to Portland, and later my son, my daughter, my grandson, even my great-grandkid used it. Glad it was there for them. That was my real work. I still do that work. You ought to see me in my headdress. Everybody likes to take pictures of that. We got a special school going right now, about to graduate sixteen kids. They never would have finished high school nowhere else. That’s my real work. But I can’t use my hands no more. Used ’em up, I guess."

Sorry for the terrible quality. Dark clinic waiting room, only had my pocket camera. Here’s a moment when I wished for the Nikon. But then again, if I’d hauled out that big brick of a computer-on-a-rope, it would have changed the whole energy in the waiting room. The pocket camera is discreet. Quiet. Doesn’t call attention to itself.
