THE ANTIDOTE FOR ADDICTION (1)

THE ANTIDOTE FOR ADDICTION (1)

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jun.01, 2010, under Home

Is there an antidote for addiction?

Yes! That’s the good news.

Here’s the bad news!

What if – you had to drive ten miles EVERY DAY to get the antidote?

Would you be willing to drive the ten miles?

Before saying “Yes, I want the antidote,” let’s explore this a little further.

You have to ask yourself, “How bad do I want it?”

This isn’t a trick question.

Addiction has its rewards.

Are you ready and willing to walk away from the “safety” of your solitary prison where you don’t have to – feel any pain – from the outside world; where you don’t have to grow, or change?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In starting our recovery journey, all we have to do is – take one step away from our solitary prisons – by “connecting” with people who have been where we are, people who will walk the journey of the thousand miles with us – every step of the way. Here’s the wisdom passed on to us the 100 original members of A.A.:

The tremendous fact – for every one of us - is that we have discovered a common solution.

We have found – a way out - from the slavery of addiction, on which we can absolutely agree, and upon which we can join in brotherly and harmonious action.

This is the great news the book, Alcoholics Anonymous, carries to those who suffer from addiction. (An appropriate title for the book could possibly be – The Antidote For Addiction – more than 150 Twelve Step Programs are built on its foundation)

Nearly all of us have – recovered. We have SOLVED the addiction problem.

The physical cravings, along with the obsessive thoughts and compulsive feelings to use pills, alcohol, or drugs, have been – removed.

They do not exist for us.

We are neither cocky, nor are we afraid.

This is our experience; this is how we react, so long as – we stay in fit spiritual condition. (A. A. Page 17, 85)

Today, make a fresh start. Read the Doctor’s Opinion. Renew – your spirit.

Namaste, (The light in me “honors” the light in you.)

Heroin Addiction

Heroin Addiction

by Holistic Lifestyles Radio on Jun.01, 2010, under Home

Heroin is considered to be one of the most addictive drugs sold illegally today. Someone who is addicted to Heroin will go to any length to obtain it. Moreover, when such a person stops taking the drug he or she will suffer serious physical consequences of withdrawal. A detoxification for heroin addiction is usually necessary to get this drug out of the users system. There are many excellent detoxes for Heroin addiction and the Challenges Treatment Center works as part of a treatment network with many of them in Florida.

Treatment for Heroin addiction will vary according to the length of time which someone has been addicted , to their physical symptoms and medical condition in general and to whatever other drugs , including alcohol, which they may have been mixing with their use of Heroin. People generally will use heroin in two ways, either snorting or injecting. The first time a person uses Heroin the drug causes a feeling of extreme euphoria ( and sometimes paranoia ) and this is intoxicating. The drug also has noticable effects on the user physically ; heaviness all over his body, skin flushes, and dry mouth. Heroin also affects the brain of the user including the central nervous system. In truth, Heroin causes symptoms which mimic in many ways those of a person having a mild stroke, such as a very slow gait, and a hard time talking and imparied physical movement of the extremities.

There are also long term consequences of Heroin addiction. Long time repeated use of Heroin can cause damage to the lungs and weaken the circulatory system. It can also cause clogging of the blood vessels which affects vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. The drug can be deadly if use continues.

Treatment for Heroin addiction is deigned to help the user stop taking the drug which will hopefully mean that his or her physical damage will repair itself with time. Also, since a long time Heroin user will likely have ruined his or her relationships with family and friends and have experienced other negative social , legal and career consequences from the addiction treatment is also designed to begin the process of restoring the person back into normal society. With time in recovery ,away from the drug , the former user can be restored to a hopeful state of mind and body.

Challenges Treatment Center is an addiction treatment rehab facility which can help the Heroin addict find freedom from the addiction. Challenges helps people in the recovery process from this addiction as we start to case manage the addict right from the beginning during the detoxification process, known to be the hardest phase during heroin addiction treatment.

This Florida Heroin addiction rehab is a place of healthy re entry back into normal life. Challenges provides a spiritual environment for the recovering person to meditate, relax, and learn why he or she has sought drug use as an escape from life. Someone in treatment at Challenges will receive one-on-one, group, and family counseling with the goal being to restore this person back to a healthy normal life, restoring relationships with their loved ones, accepting behaviors, consequences and actions of the past, and being inspired by the struggles and triumphs of other addicts in recovery.
