Facts
- The drugging of children with Ritalin, another highly addictive central nervous system stimulant, continues with increasing regularity and controversy with Ritalin use nearing a world record. In the United States, usage of Ritalin increased an estimated 70% between 1990 and 1998. Is it a question of "hook" them young and they are customers for life to addictive prescription drugs including tranquillizers, sleeping pills and anti-depressants?
- Of undergraduate students that are taking prescription stimulant medication under the direction of their doctor, more than half (54%) have been asked to sell, trade or give away their medication in the past year.
- The prescription drug OxyContin is highly addictive and is often abused for recreational use.
- Several programs exist targeting prescription abuse. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is actively involved in prescription-monitoring programs. It has launched a toll-free international hotline (877-RxAbuse) for people to anonymously report illegal drug diversion, including suspicious Internet pharmacies.
Detoxification services are available for people in Haleiwa, Hawaii who need professional help coming off of drugs, which is often very challenging when the individual has become physically and/or psychologically dependent to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons individuals find it hard to quit using drugs is because of the process they must go through to detox on their own. Many physical and mental challenges come with this process because the body begins to go through drug and/or alcohol withdrawal, the symptoms of which can range from flu like symptoms to severe anxiety and depression. In a professional Haleiwa, Hawaii detoxification facility, detoxification services help the person undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed emotional support to get the individual through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the initial step of a comprehensive drug treatment program that will further address fundamental addiction issues so that the individual can achieve long term sobriety.
