A Guide to Substance Abuse

We understand addiction and the treatment process in a deeply intimate way and want to share our expertise with you. Our team is available 24/7 and here to help you through every step of the way.

Understanding Addiction
The Disease of Addiction Defined
Drugs & Alcohol Can Control everything
Signs of Drug Abuse
- Opioids: Opioids can cause the user to “nod off” meaning this person will close their eyes and become incoherent for a period of time, almost as if they’re sleeping. Users will also have extremely small pupils and scratch at themselves as opioids cause people to feel itchy. It’s extremely easy to build a tolerance to opioids and users will often increase the dose they take to feel the effects.
- Alcohol: Short term effects of alcohol abuse are experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as shaking and seizures. Long term effects are cirrhosis of the liver and wet brain.
- Benzos: Often shortened to benzos. These prescription pills are prescribed to treat panic attacks and are easily abused. Signs of an addiction for benzos are running out of a prescription before it’s eligible for a refill, buying the pills illegally, and having seizures as a withdrawal symptom.
- Cocaine: Excess cocaine use can lead to weight loss, paranoia, insomnia, and depending on how it’s ingested, nasal issues. Over time, cocaine can lead to severe cardiac issues.
Aside from affecting your health, addiction will lead to issues in your personal relationships. While using drugs and alcohol, it will be difficult to maintain relationships. It’s hard to show up for friends & family and be reliable when all you want to do is get high. You may start avoiding celebrations or planned trips because you can’t use drugs or alcohol there. You may also start stealing from people you know if you run into financial issues (which happens all too often with addicts). Personal relationships will be strained because at some point, you will put your addiction before loved ones.
When addicted to drugs or alcohol it will also be hard to maintain employment. Addiction will take over your life to the point where you can’t function at work. You may start to nod off or are too wired to concentrate and complete your work. One of the biggest reasons addicts run into financial issues is because they’re unable to keep a job.
