Facts
- Prescription drug abuse and addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work).
- Because prescription drugs are legal they are easily obtainable, often from a home medicine cabinet.
- According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, teens who abuse prescription drugs are twice as likely to use alcohol, five times more likely to use marijuana, and twelve to twenty times more likely to use illegal street drugs such as heroin, Ecstasy and cocaine than teens who do not abuse prescription drugs.
- If a person who is psychologically addicted to Dextromethorphan does not improve once they stop taking the medication, they should seek help from an addiction specialist.
Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Dekalb are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Dekalb, IL. who have a seriousaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
