Get Rid of Chewing Gum with Professional Help

Chewing gum is a part of our lives. Inconsequential as they may be, our dependence on these sweet and sugary pieces of rubber-like candy just cannot be denied. For many, it is nothing but a habit to pop a piece of gum in their mouths and go on chomping down on it for the rest if the day. Doctors and health experts have tried- and failed- to impress upon the common man about the harmful effects of these pieces of tasty candy, not to mention parents who go broke buying gum removal agents to get rid of the annoyingly sticky pieces randomly stuck under tables and on the walls. Thankfully, the extreme health consciousness of people nowadays has prompted the chewing gum manufacturers to launch healthier versions of these chewies. Its huge popularity has also led to a major boom in the business of the chewing gum removal agencies that operate in the UK.

No matter how healthy it is proclaimed to be, its basically annoying essence does not go away. There is no such gum invented yet that comes without its most annoying properties: a maddening flexibility, surprising resilience against any kind of a gum removal agent and its tendency to cling to the surface with immense tenacity. As any person who has surfed from the problem and almost everybody has will testify how difficult it is to get it off their hair, and how quickly they lose their charm when they cling to our clothes. Despite this, however, there is no dearth of people who callously litter the streets with chewed gum, or, worse, stick them on walls where they cling on for dear life. Thankfully, there are several removal agencies that cater especially to the cause of removing it from walls and pavements.

Seeing a piece of candy stuck on the wall of your living room is simply gross, to put it mildly. If you have a gum removal agent at home, well and good. If not, the struggle that usually ensues resembles a full blown crusade, and, in most cases, the gum is none the worse for wear. If possible, it spreads a little more in all the tugging and scraping. Pieces of the wall come off as you try to remove it with a sharp object. In the end of it all, you are possible left with no more than chipped nails, with pieces of gum still stuck between your fingernails. The candy doesn't come off completely, you lose your nails and your temper, and the wall looks chipped and scratched. In such a situation, it is always better to consult a professional. Always contact a chewing gum removal agency for this purpose.

These agencies use state of the art machinery to remove chewing gum from walls and pavements. Although they mostly cater to large surfaces like the pavements along the street or a public wall, their services also extend to individuals. These agencies use removal agents that do not leave any stain on the surface, so that the area looks as good as new when the job is done. Moreover, these chewing gum removal agencies also don't use too much force that can harm the surface, an attacks only the gum with the most precise force.

Tired of picking out chewing gum from the fence outside your home? We, a leading chewing gum removal agency, can guarantee that every last sticky bit of candy will be removed from where they shouldn't be. We use state of the art machines and the best gum removal agents for our job.

Outpatient Detox Florida Centers Can Help You Overcome Drug and Alcohol Dependency

Drug addiction is a disease. And there is no doubt that it is one of the most difficult things for a person to overcome. But there is help. Outpatient Detox Florida provides persons struggling with drug addiction the care and understanding they need. Programs such as the Outpatient Suboxone Treatment can help provide those struggling with drugs or alcohol the guidance and materials they need to begin a new drug-free life.

In general, the purpose of drug rehab centers is to enable the patient to stop substance abuse. However, there are many different ways of doing this. Some drug rehab centers are residential and require patients to undergo comprehensive treatment programs in a particular facility. Although such treatment can be effective, it places severe restraints on the life of the patient; and there is also the fact that not everyone is in the financial or social position to go with this option.

The great thing about outpatient detox Florida programs in general is that they offer patients extraordinary flexibility. One still gets the customized, high-quality care that one needs, but it is done in a way that offers the patient much more freedom. Outpatient detox Florida has proven to be financially more advantageous and has made treatment tenable for many people who would not have otherwise been able to afford it. The fact that one gets greater privacy with outpatient treatment has also added to the attractiveness of this option. Medical professionals involved in outpatient detox programs are able to use methods that provide excellent treatment with the maximum of discretion at significantly reduced opportunity cost.

Drug addiction like every other malady requires careful diagnosis and diligent care. There are a range of psychological, physiological, and sociological factors associated with drug addiction. And it cannot be sufficiently managed and eliminated unless all of these elements are taken into consideration. Getting the right treatment means working with the right professionals. In looking for centers that do outpatient detox you want to ensure that the physicians and counselors on staff have deep experience and the right expertise. This is particularly important in outpatient detox because you are not under constant supervision, so you should have confidence in the prescriptions and advice you're being given.

Fortunately, it is not that difficult to find outpatient detox treatment centers-especially those that offer outpatient suboxone treatment. The place to begin your search is on the worldwide web. The web allows you to bring all of the outpatient detox centers to your computer screen. This allows you to review the various websites and the programs offered by the different drug treatment centers. Using the web can also enable you to find out the reputation of the drug treatment centers you're considering. The best predictor of future performance is past performance. A drug treatment center with a proven record of achieving positive results for its patients is the one most likely to meet your needs. If you are looking for help with drug abuse mental illnesses or other substance abuse problems, see what drug rehab centers can do for you.

The First Steps To Take On The Road To Alcohol Addiction Recovery

It is time to face facts and admit that you have a drinking problem if you find that one day cannot pass without you imbibing alcohol. For all intents and purposes, alcohol addiction is a disease. However, it is treatable. The treatment for alcohol addiction will largely rely on the intensity of the desire of the person with the addiction to ultimately kick the habit. Acceptance is the first step. If you hope to lead the alcohol addict on his road to recovery, he must first recognize that he does have a problem and must want to get rid of it. This is no easy feat; and it does not produce results overnight either. You have to know who to handle a person who is deep into alcoholism to woe them and make them seek the dangers they face, both in their social life and physical health.

The inability of an alcoholic to see any apparent negative results or outcomes will make it doubly harder for him to see and recognize the alcohol problem for what it truly is at the beginning of the condition. Hence, the best card to play will be to wait for things to boil, while you keep a close watch, and then come in to point out the various negative consequences of alcohol addiction. Make it clear to him that whatever happens will be on him, so he has to face the problem head on. Never show any indication of your readiness and willingness to help them when they cry for help. Let this be the jarring wake up call that will make him or her realize that whatever he does will have a consequence that will greatly influence the lives of other people, not only his.

Keep a safe distance in your intervention measures, where by your efforts to bring a change in the addicted person is not that plain to him or her. But be circumspect and careful. Know when to push and to pull back. Know when to say something and when to say nothing. The person won't think that you are judging him if you do this. Make it a point to hold a conversation with them when they are drunk. Similarly, once they are sober, carry on conversing with them. It is important that you show them that you are willing and always available to listen to whatever they have to say, even if they are still not into accepting the truth that they have a problem.

Eventually, their barriers and walls will crumble and you can start getting to them. When this happens and they show signs of relenting to accepting help, that is the time you can start pushing for treatments. This time, you'd need the big guns. Look for someone who is knowledgeable about the problem of alcoholism. You are actually playing a crucial role in this whole battle against alcohol addiction so don't belittle what you can do. One ideal way to assist him would be to sign him with the Alcoholics Anonymous program. Make sure that you accompany him during the first sessions. You don't have to go with him all the time. There comes a point when you have to step back and let him continue attending the sessions alone.

Relapses are expected in some people, but paying close attention as they put in their effort and desire toward treatment and recovery, you can also chip in and remind them what is expected of them. Starting the treatment for alcoholic addiction until such time that they are pronounced completely recovered is not an easy or a quick journey. This would require a lot of patience on your part and the addicted person's part. Let the whole process run its course.

How I Got Rid of Processed Foods and Addictive Substances?

It all started when I was twenty years old (37 years ago). My partner and I moved in the country in the spring and we spent the summer building our house, which was dome shaped.

During that period a stranger saw what we were doing and was interested in the design and architecture of our would-be house. He also happened to have an interest in health, which he eagerly shared with us. When he left he gave me the book Food Combining Made Easy by Herbert Shelton.

This book really fascinated me and I read it twice cover to cover. In reading it I discovered many health secrets that were completely new to me. Shelton stated many of the natural hygiene principles, such as human are frugivores and have naturally adapted to a diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. He elaborated on the importance of good digestion with proper combination of foods. If the food doesn't digest well then it ferments, putrefies, and creates toxins in your body, which are the causes of a myriad of diseases. To experience superior health you need to follow the principles of natural hygiene. The foods allowed in the menu were fruits, vegetables, nuts seeds, clabbered milk, and steamed vegetables such as potatoes. The sample menus were very simple. For example breakfast was fruit, lunch with some vegetables and nuts, and dinner could be more vegetables with steamed potatoes. I started applying the principles I learned right away. I picked two meals a day from the menu section, and for the first time in my life I was eating raw fruits and vegetables in big quantities. A year later eating a whole foods, plant-based and high raw diet I found myself in great shape. My energy soared and I lost 5 pounds (that was all I needed to lose as I wasn't fat).

Now I want to tell you how I got rid of smoking cigarettes and marijuana, drinking alcohol and coffee, and eating processed foods.

Smoking: I started smoking cigarettes when I was 14 years old. It was the cool thing to do and my friends and I were buying cigarettes by the units at a little store. We felt great imitating the adults and sure we didn't know at the time, 40 years ago, of all the negative effects of smoking such as lung cancer. I got hooked and kept smoking perhaps 7-8 cigarettes a day until I was 22 years old. Although my diet was pretty good I haven't given any thought about kicking nicotine out of my life. One day I was out of cigarettes and decided to spend the day without smoking as an experiment. Hurrah, it went surprisingly well! The next morning I made the decision to quit for good. It has been super easy as my body was clean and didn't go through many withdrawals. Sometimes it is better to start a healthy diet plan with lots of raw and living foods as it will be easier to quit smoking rather than trying while eating processed foods. The withdrawal symptoms will be lighter as your body will have more energy to clean all you cells polluted by nicotine and other chemicals.

I never smoked a cigarette since and could feel the difference in my breathing and strength capacity.

Smoking and fitness don't go together. Smoking robs your cells of oxygen and all the cells of your body are affected. Since oxygen plays a major role in energy production, even a minor depletion has an impact on physical performance. The heart would have to work harder to compensate for the lack of oxygen reaching the muscles. The result is you become out of breath sooner than a non- smoker and can't be classified as a healthy and fit individual.

Alcohol: I discovered drinking when I was 17. I liked to hang out with friends and get drunk occasionally. Typical teenage behavior I must say. Then I went to live with a man who liked to drink. I just didn't mind as I liked that too. So when we were drinking together I also kept the same pace with him. No wonder I would get drunk and he wasn't as drunk as he was used to it. Women need less alcohol to get inebriated, another thing I didn't know at the time.

When I moved to the country and started to dramatically improve me diet my desire for alcohol became nil. Strange enough I wasn't interested anymore in drinking and stopped altogether. A few years later I was invited to a party and I decided to drink. In no time I got drunk and was acting silly. The next day when I got up I felt horrible with a tremendous hangover. My head was aching like it wanted to explode, my stomach was in pain and I felt nauseous. My muscles were aching too and I couldn't do anything that day, feeling really miserable. I made the decision then to not get drunk again as it wasn't worth it. There is no way I'll give any more of my precious life to feel less than great. Health is my most precious commodity and no substance like alcohol can rival its value.

Over the years I drank very little and only on a few social occasions. I found that I didn't like the effects of alcohol at all. It sure doesn't have the same effects when you have a clean body. With a healthier body I just don't like any substances interfering with the well-being I experience on a daily basis. Superior health has so much more to offer than any addictive substance in the world. You see when you are healthy you just feel great, are in control of your life and you are more aware of your body and mind. When you operate on an unconscious mode you can ingest substances without being aware of the damages they have on your health and well-being. When you eat and live consciously these behaviors make no sense anymore and you become disinterested in purchasing brief pleasures. There is always a big price to pay after indulging in these brief buzz. Health offers so much more pleasure all day. It gives you the energy to do the myriad of things you like to do. The day with the hangover was so intense, it was a long day of learning for me.

Alcohol misuse has been shown to damage the brain and nervous system; affect the immune system; harm bones, skin, and muscles; cause fertility problems and impair fetal development. It is associated with harmful effects on the cardiovascular. It's well known that alcohol and cancer are related. Alcohol consumption leads to mild withdrawal sensations the next day that are commonly mistaken for hunger and quelled by overeating.

Marijuana:I started smoking marijuana when I was 17. At this time was the big movement of love and peace, Woodstock festival, flower power and many young people were attracted to psychedelic drugs and pot. I never really liked the effects of pot mainly when the stuff was very high in THC ((the active chemical delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). I was smoking because my friends were and again it was the cool thing to do. I continued to smoke after my big health makeover but found I couldn't ingest more than a puff and that was it. I was really flabbergasted when people would continue inhaling up to 10 times the amount I myself found really strong. I was already in the land of nowhere and just one inhalation was all I could take. One time I went on a road trip with friends and they smoked pot all the time. I did smoke with them though perhaps ten times less. When I got home a week later I found myself depressed and anxious. My outlook in life became scary as well. The effects of pot didn't suit me at all and I decided to quit for good. Evidently I had to reconsider whom I hung out with and made new friends that were more in alignment with my new lifestyle. When you make radical lifestyle changes you might be criticized by people. You need to be sure of your core values and know why you're doing what you're doing. Sometimes success in your life means marching to the beat of your own drum.

Being different or behaving differently than the masses might bring some challenges along the road. You have the choice to follow the crowd and then later on sink with them, or you can lead your own unique path and reap rewards along the way. It all starts with having your core values and goals in place and knowing your big whys.

New friends will appear who will be more aligned with your beliefs. For me this took me travelling the United States and I met wonderful people and made lifetime friends that I got to visit a number of times.

"THC in marijuana is an element that puts you to sleep rather than elevating consciousness. In my 40 years of clinical experience, I am clear that the use of marijuana disrupts adrenal function and is associated with increased amounts of hypoglycemia. The munchies effect of smoking cannabis is a sign of this adrenal disruption. THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) is the active chemical in cannabis. While THC and other chemicals in marijuana can reduce pain and nausea, they do this by destroying very sensitive brain cells related to perception and coordination. The drug is highly toxic and literally destroys the brain. Given the importance of brain health for concentration, meditation, and spiritual growth, marijuana use threatens the integrity of all aspects of our health and spiritual well-being. The symptoms of THC brain damage include distorted perception, impaired coordination, difficulty in thinking and problem solving, and memory difficulty. These are short-term side effects, but long-term marijuana use has been shown to increase activity of stress response and to alter the activity of dopamine containing nerve cells. In short this diminishes motivation and perseverance in work, relationships, and on the spiritual path. While some people mistakenly believe this to be a more evolved state on non-attachment or emptiness, it is, in reality, a numbness to life that inhibits our full expression." Gabriel Cousens MD, Founder of Tree of Life Rejuvenation Centre, AZ.

Coffee: I used to drink one cup of coffee a day in my teenage years until I moved to the country and started to reform my eating habits. I stopped completely until a few years later when I was around coffee drinkers. I joined them for this one time only and soon enough I was addicted and kept drinking one cup of coffee in the morning for about one and a half month. I liked the intellectual stimulation and instant surge of energy it gave me. But aside those good feelings I had other unpleasant symptoms such as nausea. I lost my ravenous appetite for healthy foods and was not feeling my old self. I didn't feel like exercising in the same way and I was totally out of synch with my body. This experiment ended with a terrible tooth ache and I had to fast for several days to re-establish homeostasis. I had to give up coffee totally and realized that it was not worth it. Thereafter once I drank one cup of coffee and I was shaking and not having control of my body. I felt really bad and never touched regular coffee again. Coffee is acidic, it sets you up a roller coaster day of highs and lows, and eventually depletes your adrenals and end up exhausted. You need more and more coffee to get going or reach for something sweet to get another lift, leading to daily fluctuations in energy and alertness. Caffeine will give you fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbance, irritability and depression. You are no more in control of your body and it becomes difficult to experience good stable energy. Vibrant health and coffee just don't go together.

Processed foods: I couldn't say I was very much attracted to processed foods except chocolate. When I was 17 I wanted to become a vegetarian and was baking my own whole wheat bread and cooking with whole grains such as barley and wheat. I wasn't high on processed foods, instinctively was gravitating more towards whole foods. After my diet makeover I would go on a trip and my healthy diet was derailed. I would consume cookies, white rice or white bread and come back home sick and in pain. My body was telling me that it wasn't too happy with my behavior and that's how I learned about its limits. My body showed me what it liked and didn't like and I had to listen or it meant suffering. I haven't used any medications for 38 years so when in pain I just fast until the symptoms of illness subside. I couldn't cheat without paying the consequences. It is a fact that the healthier and more vitalized we become, the more intense the symptoms of detoxification will be and the quicker we get well. The more raw and living foods I ate, the better I felt. I could finally say goodbye to frequent colds, belly aches, sinusitis, otitis, and other sicknesses I experienced while transitioning to a whole foods, plant-based and high raw diet.

Indiscriminate use of pharmaceuticals and destructive habits like consumption of alcohol, nicotine, drugs, caffeine, and processed foods push the body into toxic overload. Sooner or later you'll pay the consequences and will not like it. A good detox, followed by a nutritious diet, will help get rid of toxins and bring a higher state of health.

TODAY I am so grateful for living an addiction-free life and that I could live vibrantly healthy with boundless energy. Health is a blessing and worthy of any effort or expense. I am far from being perfect as it a work constantly in progress.

In my work I like to inspire and empower people make lifestyle changes and regain their health.

What a difference one book can make! It shaped my destiny from that day on. Most possibly did you stumble into reading such a book? If so, share it in your comments below.

Telltale Signs of Addiction

When the words drug addict are mentioned, there is typically an image produced in the mind. Past experience often comes from the media and is used to shape that image into something dramatic. However, it is possible that someone in your life could be struggling with an addiction and you may never even know it. Many of the Texas drug rehab facilities warn families that there are many symptoms of drug addiction that can completely miss the radar. There are a few things that you should definitely be on the lookout for if you suspect that a loved one is struggling with an addiction.

One of the first changes that you may notice if someone is struggling with an addiction to drugs or alcohol, is changes in their sleeping patterns. Addicts often have trouble sleeping at night and may seem to not sleep well at all. On the other hand, they may be sleeping way too much. When an addiction is severe, a person may sleep in between highs and lose interest in anything else besides getting high.

Another key indication that someone is addicted to something is if you begin to see dramatic changes in their values and overall personality. A person could be one of the most honest people that you have ever met but when it comes to getting what they want, they may lie, cheat, or even steal from their loved ones. You may notice a difference in their personality as well. For example, mood swings between depression and extreme euphoria could be traits displayed by an addict.

Texas drug rehab facilities also advise people to be on the lookout for changes in the way a person lives their life and interacts with other people. In order to hide their addiction from their loved ones, an addict may become withdrawn from their family and friends. They may not go out as often as they once did, visit friends or family members, and they may even avoid family functions that they once enjoyed.

If you have saw any of these symptoms or changes with your loved one, there is a good chance that they could be struggling with a secret addiction. It is imperative that you do all that you can to help this individual seek treatment and get help because addiction can be deadly. This is especially true if a person keeps the problem hidden away from the rest of the world. If you believe that you are dealing with this issue, it is a good idea to contact one of the many Texas drug rehab facilities in the area. They can provide you with a variety of different types of tips and information about addiction and what you can do to help.

What Are You Addicted To?

Have you ever done a Vision Quest? I recently went on one in the Arizona Desert. Although they are not easy, I have found each one very rewarding and worth the challenge.

One of the biggest challenges of a typical Vision Quest is giving up what you think you need. On a Vision Quest you give up food: fasting for at least a day and as many as four. You give up comfort; you are sleeping outside on the ground with just the very basics. You give up entertainment: no cell phones, newspapers, TV, internet, or books. There is just the sound of the wind and the stars in the sky to entertain you. You give up companionship; a Vision Quest is done solo. You are alone and isolated (at least from people). And you give up safety; it is just you alone out there with the wild beasts, creatures, and creepy crawlies of the night.

One of the major breakthroughs on a Vision Quest is this discovery: you don't need these things as much as you THINK you do! The key word here is THINK. If that THINKING is not challenged, it tends to go on running our lives for better or worse. What you can learn on a Vision Quest, by challenging your BELIEFs, is that you are whole and complete, safe and empowered, inspired and cared for, with far less stuff than you think you need. With this new knowing comes peace, true freedom, and your authentic power of choice. These are things worth "Questing" for.

In many ways what we are talking about here is addictions, things we think we need, or have to do, or can't live without.

Let's have a look at the word addiction: Ad-dict: from the Latin addicere, to give assent.

to give oneself up to a strong habit,to make become addicted; addiction.

When we think of "addiction," we typically think of the people who are abusing drugs, i.e. the drug addict. However, in reality, addiction is a far more prevalent and widespread challenge. Look carefully at the definition of addict above. To be addicted, you only have to give yourself up to, or over to, a strong habit. Drugs are just ONE of the habits we humans can give ourselves up to.

The problem with addiction lies in this notion of "giving oneSELF up" to something. You are literally giving up to and giving your POWER over to, something that is apparently "more powerful" than you. In this manner, the addict makes himself or herself powerless. Ouch! Every time you engage your habit in this manner as an addict, you reinforce your powerlessness and weaken your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies. This is the pain, and this is the loss, experienced by an addict.

So what are you addicted to? How about Starbucks? Are you one of those millions of people who "can't start your day" without your morning cup of Joe. Really? You CAN'T start your day? Notice the powerlessness in this statement and the giving over of one's power. You feel you "have no choice, you have to do this." These are the words of an addict. Whether addicts consciously realize it or not, they are suffering because of it.

How about TV? Gaming? Alcohol? Shopping? The Internet? Or email? Oh, there's one for the masses: email (or put in texting for the younger crowd). I recently heard on the radio an announcer say "Studies show that decreasing time on email can significantly improve productivity, but changing that habit is very challenging because it is an ADDICTION." People feel powerless. Can you relate?

Even so called "good habits" can become detrimental addictions if we become powerless in our choice to engage them or not. Take, for example, work. You're called a work-a-holic if you're addicted to work. What starts out as a good thing - being productive, serving others, and doing a good job - becomes detrimental when you lose your freedom of choice. People in this boat will say things like "I have to work late, I have no choice." They are affirming they are powerless. We can put exercise, sleep, sex, eating, and all kinds of things into this category that are good and healthy when freely and appropriately engaged and chosen, but then become detrimental and even damaging when they move over into the category of addiction.

So why do we do this? What is underlying our addictions? Good question. My answer: FEAR. Fundamentally what is driving the addictive behavior is a fear of something. For the email or text addict it might be something like "I'm afraid I'll miss something important." For the work-a-holic it might be something like "I'm afraid my boss and colleagues will not approve of me." For the caffeine addict it might be "I'm afraid I will not have the energy and drive to think fast and succeed." For the social drinker it might be "I'm afraid of people; I may be awkward and rejected." Afraid, afraid, afraid. Fear, fear, fear.

Addictions are challenging to overcome because to achieve it you must FACE YOUR FEAR. To restore your peace, freedom, wholeness, and authentic power of choice you must embrace and face your fear, whatever it may be.

I am very intimate with this process. For me, addictions cloud my channel with the Divine. My tolerance for my addictions has been greatly decreasing over the years. When I give my power over to something outside of me, I am saying to myself, "The Divine in me is not powerful enough to overcome this addiction," and "This thing outside of me is more powerful than me." When I engage my addictions I am saying no to the Divine power within. I am saying "I need this to feel good, to be OK, to be safe." And on the flip side I am saying "I do not feel good, I am not OK, and I am not safe" (therefore I must engage this addiction to fix that). These are affirmations I am not interested in affirming!

As a social drinker of alcohol for most of my life, I have given up alcohol for all of 2012. I'm nine months into my challenge - and doing just fine. It is a spiritual practice for me, a sacrifice to the Divine in the greatest of ways. Each time I wish I could have a drink - usually weekend social events - I embrace the Divine within affirming "I feel good, I am OK, I am safe, etc." without alcohol. And you know what, I am! Plus, I've discovered a whole new world of fabulous non-alcoholic drinks.

Restoring your power can become addictive! I've now moved on to caffeine. Having been a black tea drinker for a number of years, I am moving to herbal choices and other no or very low caffeine options. In this process I must face my fear of "I need caffeine to be sharp, energized, and productive." Instead I affirm "I am sharp, energized, and productive" without caffeine. And you know what? I am.

Releasing your addictions is about restoring your power. It's about restoring your connection to Source and knowing yourself as whole and complete (without whatever you feel you must have). And that's the real truth for each and every one of us. Your wholeness, completeness, freedom, love, and inspiration are always inside waiting for you to choose and embrace in each and every moment.

Try this:

Become aware of things you might be addicted to. Jot down on a piece of paper a short (or long) list of these things to which you are giving over your power. As you look at that list, for each one, ask yourself "What fear would I have to embrace if I were to stop this addiction?" Write down whatever fear comes up for you.

Next, take one addiction, and for a minute or two, just embrace the fear you identified for it. Take a deep breath and just let it settle in - do not resist it. More often than not, the fear is not as scary, or real, as our minds make them out to be. If you "stand up" to that fear, very often you'll find it melting away, sometimes slowly over time, sometimes quickly.

Then ask yourself, "What would be available to me if I were to stop this addiction? What are the potential benefits of not engaging this anymore?" And make your list of benefits if you were to release your addiction.

Finally, perhaps ask yourself, "Which one of these addictions am I ready to release and evolve beyond?" If none, that's fine, perhaps a time will come later. If it is time, then start moving in that direction. Take the first step, whatever that may be for you to gently, awake and aware, day by day, restore your authentic power of choice.

Congratulations you're one step closer to your mojo!

Different Alcohol Cure Options For Alcoholism

If you or you know someone who suffers from alcoholism, do not be afraid. It is a treatable disease with many programs and approaches nowadays that are made available for patients like you or someone you know who seeks help but with no medical options available yet. No matter how or when you are diagnosed of being alcohol dependent bordering alcohol abuse or just know that you have a drinking problem, the first step to alcohol cure is recognizing that you do have a problem. This is a very important step in the curing process to be able to really help the troubled person deep within. People who suffer from this disease pressured by society or by peers to get into treatment rarely result in success stories. This is why acceptance of having the disease is important. Once that step is already done, there are various treatment processes that you can undergo to help you.

Alcohol Withdrawal

This is a very painful alcohol cure as it entails one depriving himself of alcohol over a long period of time until he no longer craves it. Chronic alcohol drinkers most especially will undergo some painful withdrawal symptoms because their intake of the substance has been halted already. Mild shakes, tremors, discomfort, anxiety, and life-threatening deliriums are just some of the common withdrawal symptoms that might occur. This is why it is important that the alcoholic seek medical attention first and make sure that there is a family member or a loved one who will be there for you as you cure your disease. Most patients experience mild to moderate symptoms which can be treated at home or on the out-patient department. But for those with severe symptoms, he might be required to check-in a facility that specializes in detoxification methods to cleanse the body thoroughly of alcohol.

Treatment Facilities

Going in some treatment facilities can be very beneficial especially to patients with severe alcohol problems. Detoxification in such facilities occurs anywhere between three to seven days. After the treatment, the patient's dependency to alcohol then becomes more psychological than the physical need. The purpose of this treatment is to prevent the patient from experiencing any relapse. Fortunately, there are many facilities all over the country that facilitates this kind of treatment as more and more patients are being diagnosed each day.

Medications

Medications are helpful to prevent people from relapsing and going back to their alcoholic stage. Antabuse is one of the most effective medications prescribed to many patients as it works by deterring alcohol consumption of patients making them sick each time they consume alcohol. Revia is another medication prescribed as it blocks any effect alcohol may have in the brain and reduces the person's craving for alcohol intake.

Support Groups

It is important for an alcoholic to join a support group to help him become sober. By joining such groups you get to meet people who will understand your condition and can help you get through what you are going through. This is a psychological treatment that can help you see the better things in life beyond alcohol consumption.

These are some alcohol cure now made available for patients. But before you decide on any of these, make sure to seek medical attention first so you know which ones suit your needs best.

Elements Of A Successful Addiction Rehab

When addicts start a therapy they embark on a learning process. Overcoming an addiction doesn't simply mean learning how to not give in to the craving anymore. For sustainable success it is important that the patients get a comprehensive treatment. No matter whether the problem is alcoholism, gaming, gambling, adult movies, shopping or substances like cocaine and LSD, many elements of a successful addiction rehab are the same. One of the building blocks is identifying the triggers for the craving. Addicts suffer from craving almost every day, sometimes several times a day. Patients need to find out why this is the case. It could be boredom or unstructured times, it could be stress and fears; for some people it is happiness, for others the internet; and some people start suffering from craving when they pass certain places or when they meet certain people.

Whatever the triggers are, addicts need to learn how to deal with them in a different way. If it's possible they should even eliminate the triggers from their lives. The next step is to understand what is behind those triggers. In most cases, unresolved problems from childhood or adolescence - often even traumatic experiences - are the underlying reasons for the addiction. The process of recognizing and understanding these factors can be painful and at the same time it can provide a lot of relief. Usually, it takes a few weeks. Addicts should not expect to quit an addiction within a few days. A cold turkey is not the same as stopping an addiction, e.g. visit gambling addiction therapy.

The more patients learn about the real reasons for their addiction, the more they are able to feel sympathy for themselves. It is crucial to recognize that feelings of shame and guilt are not justified and need to be abandoned. The more people feel ashamed and guilty the more they will consume their drugs in order to feel better - which in turn makes them feel bad again. This vicious circle needs to be broken.

In parallel, patients need a recalibration of their lives. Many addicts lost control and they need to set new aims in life. New meaningful activities should replace the consumption of drugs but the patients themselves must define what is meaningful. It needs to fit into their individual lives. Sport and healthy eating can also contribute to improve the physical well-being and the brain chemistry. Relaxation techniques are another element of an effective addiction rehab. They can help patients get used to lower levels of excitement, dopamine and endorphins again. For more information visit e.g. visit sex addiction therapy.

Rehabilitation - There Is Support Available to Help You Beat That Addiction

No one ever said trying to come clean and overcome your addiction would be easy. In fact, it is one of the biggest obstacles you will face on a daily basis in order for you to remain sane and normal. Even though you may have felt alone while you were going through the addiction phase, there is help and support available during your recovery. That is why you should take advantage of the services that are offered at a rehabilitation center.

There is so much at stake when you make the decision to become sober and take back control of your life. Even though this situation will make you one of the strongest people in the world, it will also make you the most vulnerable. You are going to need more than the love and support of your friends and family to rise to this challenge. You will need the skill, expertise and professional services of the staff at a rehabilitation center.

Keep in mind that the path to overcoming addictions is not completely the same for all substances that are abused. In addition to needing counseling, you can also benefit from group therapy sessions with your peers that are going through the same thing that you are. It is important for you to know that you are not alone and no matter what stage you are at in the process, there is help and support available.

Don't make the mistake of assuming that you don't need help or can get through this trying time in your life alone. No matter how you got into this situation, you will need some type of assistance getting out of it. Beating an addiction is not something that once you stop taking the substance you are cured. It is a continuous and daily struggle that you will have to fight for the rest of your life. It is important for you to learn more about what caused you to resort to abusing. This means that you will need to get more in tune with yourself. You will need to get help so you can become healthy mentally and physically.

When it comes to choosing a rehabilitation center, you have two choices. You can choose to enroll in a day center or a residential center. If you have allowed your addiction to make you lose control of your life and you can barely make it through the day without thinking about your indulging in your addiction, then you may need to be under constant supervision. A residential rehabilitation center may be best for you. If you are currently struggling with an addiction, but are still able to maintain to work or handle some of your obligations, a day center may be what you need. No matter what type of rehabilitation you choose to got, you will receive the help and support you need to regain control over your life and fight your addiction.

Combating Addiction with 12-Step Programs

When an individual has an addiction, this means that he or she has become physically or psychologically dependent on a substance or activity. Breaking the habit, even if the person wants to, can be very difficult and may cause physical or psychological pain. Some examples of substances or activities that people get hooked on include alcohol, drugs, gambling, shopping, food, sex, or even to another person. Luckily, 12-Step Groups are available in nearly every community seven days a week to help the addict kick their habit.

The original 12-Step Group was Alcoholics Anonymous, commonly referred to as AA. A man named Bill W. who was struggling with his own alcohol addiction started it back in 1935. The reason that Bill, the founder, is referred to by his first name and only the beginning initial of his last name is that the program focuses on anonymity. Many participants would not go if their identities were made public. Although a strength of the program is the moral support the members give to each other, each person honors the others by keeping names, occupations, and private details of the addiction within the walls of the meeting space.

These recovery groups have twelve steps that addicts are supposed to follow in order to be cured of their disease, hence the name. These steps include: honesty, faith, surrender, soul searching, integrity, acceptance, willingness, forgiveness, maintenance, making contact, and service. These tasks are universal duties in all of these groups and have been found to be helpful in a slew of cases.

AA began decades ago and has spread like wildfire throughout the country over the years. Alcoholism is considered a family disease so there are chapters to support the spouses and children connected to the alcoholic, drug addict called Al Anon. There are also groups called C.O.D.A., Gamblers Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts, and many more. When an addicted person drinks, gambles, uses their credit cards, or becomes obsessed with love relationships, it can get to the point where it is harming the individual and all those around him or her. Addicts can lose their jobs, their family members, their driving privileges, their self-respect, their health, and even their lives.

Struggling with an addiction is a difficult process without the support of a good recovery program and support group. In fact, trying to kick troublesome habits without help can be nearly impossible. In the past, individuals and their family members might have just given up. Today, there is help available for men and women suffering with these difficulties. One of the first things the addict will have to do is be honest with himself or herself and admit there is a problem. That is step one. He or she will have to commit to completely giving up the problematic substance or activity. Being in recovery is a lifelong process but one that will create a more successful life for all concerned.

If you or a family member are struggling with addiction , help does exist. Contact the wonderful facilities at http://townsendla.com/ and take that first step.

Court Ordered Alcohol Addiction Treatment is an Option in Florida

Families and society pay a high price for alcoholism and other addictions. Alcohol addiction alone costs an estimated $235 billion per year in the United States due to costs for health care, loss of productivity, lost wages, and the costs of alcohol-related crime. Families can be torn apart by addiction, and innocent people can lose their lives due to tragedies like drunk driving accidents. If you love someone who is an addict, you have probably spent many sleepless nights worrying about them or coping with the problems addicts leave in their wake.

Some Addicts Refuse to Get Help on Their Own

One of the main problems with addiction is that addicts often don't see themselves as having a problem, and when that is the case, they aren't going to get treatment. As much as you may encourage an alcoholic relative or loved one to attend 12-step meetings or otherwise seek help, they won't make a serious effort unless they conclude for themselves that they have to get help. The result may be a series of relapses, further disintegration of relationships, brushes with the law, job loss, and sometimes the collapse of families. If the addict you love is able to admit that he or she has a problem, then you have hope that they may choose treatment. If not, your options are much more limited.

Personal Interventions Don't Always Work

You have probably seen inspiring stories on television of addicts and alcoholics who undergo a family intervention and realize what they have to lose, coming to the conclusion that they must go through rehabilitation. The problem is that personal interventions don't always work. If you have tried this and still your loved one refuses treatment, it isn't your fault, and it may be time to use the court system to get your loved one into court ordered addiction treatment.

Your Options Under the Law

In Florida, the Florida Marchman Law provides a way for family members and / or friends of an alcoholic or addict to legally compel that person to undergo rehabilitation. It isn't that easy, because the rights of the addict must be protected too, but in many cases it is the only way to make sure the person you love gets the help they need. A series of hearings in your county's court determine whether an addict needs to undergo evaluation and detox, and then if he or she needs to be in longer term treatment such as court ordered alcohol addiction treatment.

An Attorney Can Ensure You Follow All Procedures Correctly

The Florida Marchman Act requires very specific paperwork and evidence, and your loved one will be assigned their own attorney for the process. Having an attorney helping you through the process makes it less stressful and helps ensure that the case won't get thrown out on a technicality. Nobody enjoys having to use the Florida Marchman Act, but in some cases it is the only way to get court ordered addiction treatment for someone you love.

Court ordered alcohol addiction treatment can be the difference between life and death for those in the midst of a destructive addiction. If you or a loved one needs help, go to arlshelp.com to find someone who understands how to get court ordered addiction treatment and get started on a new life today.

How to Break a Habit and Set New Year's Resolutions that Actually Work

It's that time of year again! It's time to focus on self improvement with an effective New Year's resolution. Unfortunately it's also the time when most people make promises to themselves that don't work because most of us don't know how to break a habit and keep it that way. For those that do, getting into the holiday spirit is a lot less stressful.

Why do most New Year's resolutions fail? One reason is because the resolution wasn't planned properly. Maybe it wasn't attainable. Or maybe you didn't commit the time necessary to achieve your goal. Follow this simple step by step guide on how to break a habit to help you succeed with your New Year's resolutions. When you are with your loved ones this Dec 31st, you'll be able cheer "Happy New Year!!" with a little extra confidence! :)

Step 1: Choose Achievable Resolutions

Choose your resolutions wisely! Many resolutions fail because they were not achievable goals. When making changes in life, one should always choose small, attainable goals. Don't resolve to lose 50 pounds right away; resolve to work out for 30 minutes each day or to consistently lose a little bit of weight each month. As long as you are heading in the right direction with your goals and can stay on target, you will inevitably see results. Don't aim too low either; it's important to challenge yourself a little bit.

Also, make it something you are proud to talk about with other people who love the time honored tradition. It should be something that matters to you as well, as ultimately you are the one to benefit. It's usually best to choose a resolution that relates to something you have a passion for.

Here are some ideas for your New Year's resolution:

I am going to swear lessI am going to quit smokingI resolve to get back in shapeI am going to work more hours each dayI will delete my non-friends from FaceBookI am going to organize my hoardI am going to make new friendsI'm going to start a blog and post regularlyI will save enough money to take a vacation

Step 2: Plan, Plan, Plan to Succeed

This is the time where you break down your goal. You may want to design the goal in phases if you have multiple related aims. For example, if you are organizing your closet, you may want to do the top shelf on day one, the middle shelf on day two, and so on. If you are taking up swimming, start with a half an hour for the first few weeks, then move up to 45 minutes for weeks 3 and 4, and so on.

The goal must be somehow measurable so you will have to find a way to keep track of your progress somehow. This helps you gauge your success later on in the year. Measurements can include pounds lost, money saved, family opinions, or boons gained. It helps if you prepare a journal to log your progress.

Consider what is needed in order to attain your goal. If you plan to go to the gym, you will need a gym pass and to arrange for transportation. If you want to get higher grades, find additional learned materials or a tutor. If you want to save money, make arrangements to work more hours or start a new job. Many failed resolutions didn't have the tools they needed to succeed in the first place.

Schedule your time wisely. If you are busy you might have to sacrifice a less desirable activity to make time. Use post-it notes to give yourself helpful reminders. You get out what you put in, so be sure to put a great deal of thought into the process of your resolution. That is one surefire way to know how to break a habit or learn a new positive one.

Step 3: Leap Into Action

Now is the time to really shine. Hopefully, your resolution brings you satisfaction while you are working towards it. Take it one day at a time, but get started no matter what - and follow the change laid out in your plan. Thank yourself each step of the way; it will motivate you to continue.

Here are some tips for securing the success of your resolution:

only try to break one habit at a timereplace bad habits with good onesfind support in your community, friends, or familybe kind to yourselftake it one day at a timeremember why you wanted to make the change in the first placekeep a progress journalbelieve in yourselfbe aware of your accomplishmentshave fun even though you're going through changes

Don't forget to make the most of your New Year's holiday celebration. Don't make the change until 2013 begins, to be sure you are good and ready for it. It's never too early or too late to learn something new - especially when it comes to learning how to break a habit and reaching your goals easily.

Points to Consider About Alcohol Rehab New York

If you are considering the use of an alcohol rehab in New York, you may want to consider more than just the "basic" approach. For example, you may be thinking of traditional meetings and group discussions, but you can get a lot more if you choose an alcohol rehab for a NY resident that has a "live in" option.

For instance, there are options for drug and alcohol rehab in New York that last at least 2, but up to 21 days, and which address much more than a dependency issue. For example, you understand that you are addicted to alcohol and that you have come to rely on it throughout each day...but have you asked yourself exactly what is behind your need? A good alcohol rehab in NY will help you with this issue and often show you that there is more than just one thing going on.

For example, if you enter a full alcohol rehab in New York it is likely that you will soon discover that there are "neurobiological" reasons that you turn to alcohol, as well as some co-occurring disorders that can include anything form anxiety or depression to bi-polar disorder. This means that a reputable site for alcohol rehab in NY may be able to guide you towards true self-discovery.

This has to occur in the appropriate setting, however, and that is why we would suggest that you opt for the live-in type of alcohol rehab for a New York resident. This would allow you to get the kind of care and rest that are essential parts of the rehab process.

For example, you would want to choose an alcohol rehab in NY that "screens" you via a phone or "in person" interview. This would let you get the kinds of answers that you need and allow the facility to determine if they have a suitable plan for you. Then, you would want to inquire about their recovery plans, and determine if they look at "root" causes for dependency in order to permanently overcome addiction issues.

There must also be a recovery component that includes things such as rest and renewal, limited numbers of meetings or sessions in a single day, and options for visitation from friends and family. This all describes a "well rounded" and realistic program, but you may want to explore shorter and longer opportunities if you feel that might benefit you as well. Flexibility is often a major part of success.

High Watch Recovery Center integrate the latest breakthroughs in addiction medicine, for the treatment of neurobiology of addiction.For an ideal program alcohol rehab New York helps to get clean from alcohol,waking up hung over by facing alcoholism or get related assistance.

Morning Rituals

Every morning millions of people wake up, wash their teeth, have breakfast (or more often a bite on the go) and are on their way to work. It is not surprising that this routine rarely gets interrupted; there must be some kind of major event for you to be allowed not to go to work. Of course simply because it is routine at some point it gets really difficult and boring to follow.

The tedious process of waking up early in the morning and then going to work is bearable during the summer and the warmer months. You wake up greeted by the sun, grab a quick shower, have a cup of coffee, some corn flakes and in the matter of minutes you are ready to go to work. But when the cold months came and especially when it is winter it is a completely different story.

You wake up early in the morning only to see that the sun has not risen yet. It is so cold outside your bed that your desire for a shower is squashed. You have breakfast and while you do that you dread the possibility that you will have to struggle with the bitter cold to clean the space in front of your garage from snow and ice. There are these and a myriad of other reasons why waking up early in the winter for work (a task which is normally unpleasant due to its nature) is really dreadful thing to do. Once again I am speaking solely of my experience.

So, how do you fight it? Well, there are many ways you could try, but only few will work.

Having a hot coffee is the absolute must. Without hot coffee in the beginning of your day you may expect nothing good from the day. Having a really tasty warm breakfast, yes warm one, can also help you. Listening to music, something with more liveliness and melody in it can also change things considerably.

But in the end it comes to what kind of person you are. My wife wakes up watching cartoons every morning, my brother goes jogging after waking up, my father just wakes up and he is fine even without coffee. I used to smoke a couple of cigarettes in my car with my coffee when I was on my way to work; now I am using an electronic cigarette instead but it is basically the same ritual.

Everyone has their quirk? and strange ritual? when it comes to early waking, but it remains an unpleasant fact of life for which we just have to find a way of getting over.

Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation

Choosing the place for drug rehabilitation that will meet your needs and expectations is a very important matter. With the many different rehabilitation centers located in New Jersey, it is important to investigate which rehabilitation center has the right treatment program for you. If you are looking for a drug rehabilitation center in new jersey for yourself or someone you care about surrounding a problem that involves alcohol or substance abuse, there are several treatment centers available that can help by providing the necessary treatment options including all of the pertinent information you need to begin your journey on the road to recovery.

There are several factors to consider when making the decision on a drug rehabilitation center. For many, finding one that is located close to home is the first priority. Rehabilitation centers in New Jersey vary in location, however some patients seek a rehabilitation center as far as being in a different state. For example, a drug rehabilitation center in New Jersey near the border of New York will most likely attract New York patients. It is also important to know how much you will have to pay for drug rehabilitation treatment. Even though you may have found a center that is nearby and that you can afford, you should also consider some other important factors that will make a significant difference in the outcome of your treatment. Not all drug rehabilitation centers in New Jersey offer the same type of therapy and you should know if you have a preference for a particular type of treatment program before making your decision. Treatments can vary from the traditional 12 step program to more unique methods of treatment including holistic, or faith based treatments.

Another consideration when determining which drug rehabilitation center will best meet your specific needs is whether it accepts both men and women or if you would prefer a secular facility. There are also drug rehabilitation centers that specialize in young adults as well as those that are specifically for mature adults (55+). You might also want to consider a facility that specializes in the type of addiction you are seeking treatment for. Many people find it useful when they have others with them who have the same addiction to help them work through their abuse issues.

Addicts Not All The Same

There is a tendency to think that all addicts are the same. Addiction and survivors of abuse are first of all people. Stereotyping all alcoholics, all drug users and any other form of addiction as a common personality type does not work.

Would you say that all people with a broken leg are the same?

What has to be thought about at all times is 'Are we treating the disease or are we trying to change what we perceive to be a personality defect.' Which may indeed be a personality defect. Even if it is not a personality defect is it what you want? Some addicts are basically nice people. Others can be very horrible. Others still are nice people but we don't want to be with them.

There are commonalities due to the disease but not everything we do not like is the disease. Mostly it is the person. The not very nice addicts will often play on their addiction to excuse unacceptable behaviour.

More than one person has spent years getting their addict sober or dry only to find that they do not actually like the addict. Those wasted years can never be recovered.

It is not fashionable to say walk away but there is a good case for looking at the addict and asking 'Do I like this person.' If you do not like this person then walk away. Your health and well-being is more important than someone you don't like.

This is a major problem for anyone caught up in the addiction merry-go-round. It is very easy for the focus to be on the addict full time and lose sight of who we are and what we want. Where is it written that you have to care for a person you do not like just because they have a self-inflicted condition?

Even if there is a problem such as childhood abuse it is still up to the addict to do something about it. The usual thing that happens is the addict will use the problem as the excuse for not doing anything to help themselves. Why change when everything they want can be obtained by manipulating those around them?

Addicts, as part of the disease, are Zen Masters at manipulation. Even the nicest of addicts are very manipulative. This is the thing that as a partner of significant other of an addict must be constantly aware off. The addict will try to manipulate you at all times.

If there is to be progress towards the recovery of an addict the manipulation has to stop. That is up to you because it won't be in the addict's interest to stop the manipulation. They thrive on it. If the manipulation stops the addict will sometimes leave to find someone they can manipulate. If they do it can cause grief but it is a sign that your recovery is well under way.

If a basically OK person teams up with an addict the addict does not get better, the OK person gets sick. If you are reading this you will probably already know the sickness is called co-dependency.

Most literature on co-dependency will concentrate on how to survive and restore our sanity in a relationship with an addict. What is often forgotten is whether or not you want to be there is the first place. Often the reason we stay is a misguided sense of duty and fear.

These are the addict's weapons. Misguided duty and fear. Even if the addict is your son or daughter what is your duty to them? Is it you duty to fall into a deep hole of fear and shame for all the things your addict blames you for or says you should have done? So you made mistakes, some real but mostly they are the mistakes your addict invents to manipulate you.

Do you want to continue to sink deeper into this dark place? The way out of the dark place starts by looking at your situation and asking yourself quietly and calmly if this is really where you want to be. It must be quietly and calmly because spur of the moment decisions will not work long term. The first secret is to see the situation as it is and decide if this is what you want. It is difficult to imagine what it would be like with this person without the disease and it might take a long time to see, but that is what is required if the decision is to be right for you.

If you decide to physically leave be certain that it is because you want something better; not just that you are running away.

You may want to physically stay or you might want to leave. Either way this is the beginning. If you physically stay you can still leave that dark place by learning not to be controlled or manipulated. The game of addiction takes at least two to play. Learn how not to play and things have to change.

Addicts are not all the same. There is still the person that you may or may not like. The problem is that it all gets blamed on the disease without any understanding of the person. The disease masks everything else. See the disease as it is and the size it is and it is not everything. There is much more. It is this much more that needs to be looked at.

The control and manipulation must stop. What is needed to stop the addicts control and manipulation, and to stop your control and manipulation? There is no way known you can control or manipulate an addict. It is part of the disease that they will always be one step ahead of you. The only way forward is to end the manipulation, which means stopping your manipulation. If you don't then today is the best day of your life. From here on in it is down hill all the way.

I only write about things that I have experienced. In all things to do with addictions it has to be experienced to understand. I come from the postion of not sacrificing ourself on the alter of someone else's addiction. Please visit my website http://www.yosefalbric.com/ for more of my work. Yosef Albric

The Dangers Of A Methamphetamine Addiction

Methamphetamine is a dangerous and addictive drug which is a problem not only for the user, but for society as a whole. Methamphetamine addiction leads to an increase number of crimes and criminal activity ranging from theft, DWI, endangering of children and more. Production of meth has increased dramatically in American since the mid-1990s. According to Wikipedia Indiana state police found 1,260 labs in 2003 to only 6 in 1995. Methamphetamine production ranges from large scale production in super labs on foreign soil to domestic small time labs in trailer parks. In the United States of America, methamphetamine is a Schedule II stimulant, which means it is legally only available by a doctor's prescription. Prescribed uses for methamphetamine include attention deficit disorder, obesity and even in some cases narcolepsy.

Crystal, crank, ice, speed, whatever you call it methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant that has damaging side effects when abused. The frequent use of methamphetamine can lead to long term damage to the central nervous system. Brain images of meth addicts show that users dopamine transporters and receptors have been permanently damaged. After the dopamine system has been damaged users can experience anhedonia, which is the inability to experience pleasure. After the addiction has been addressed and the person is sober, it can be months before the brain begins to effectively produce and regulate dopamine.

The pleasurable side effects from meth are what lead users to develop their meth addiction. Patients describe an intense pleasurable rush that hits them once the drug has been ingested. Methamphetamine can be smoked, snorted or injected which can compound the health side effects from the drug use. Smoking provides the quickest fix for the user, whereas snorting provides effects that can last for a longer time. This intense rush can lead to addicts becoming hooked even after their first use of the drug. Meth mouth is an additional adverse health side effect associated with meth addiction. Meth mouth is a condition where methamphetamine users have a profound and quick loss of teeth. The American Dental Association believes the tooth loss is the result of a variety of factors induced from meth use including, poor oral hygiene, poor diet, poor sleep habits and excessive teeth grinding.

Besides the health issues facing the meth users themselves, methamphetamine creates a number of public health issues. The production of meth and the exposure to dangerous chemicals are a common risk created by meth. The meth labs are often run by people high on drugs themselves resulting in dangerous fires and explosions. The rush of methamphetamine can lead to risky sexual behavior which continues the spread of STDs like HIV/AIDS. Meth addiction is so strong that pregnant women often times pass the addiction on to their unborn child.

Meth addiction is a problem that often times requires clinical intervention to successfully reach a full long term stable recovery. A drug rehab center that specializes in handling methamphetamine cases would be an ideal solution. Nearly 90% of meth users will experience some sort of symptom when withdrawing from methamphetamine, which often times leads to a relapse, which is why many doctors would recommend a detox program in a clinical setting.

Are All of The Best Alcohol Rehab Centers Full Service?

Many alcohol rehab facilities bill themselves as the best alcohol rehab centers available. But do they all offer a complete suite of treatment services that anyone suffering from alcoholism needs in order to recover?

The disease of alcoholism is insidious in nature, affecting hundreds of thousands of people regardless of age, creed, color or social status. It is completely immune to one's standing in life or in any other manner.

For anyone looking to recover from a life torn apart by drinking, it's important to find an alcohol rehabilitation center that can steer them toward a path of sobriety. The internet has become inundated with advertisements from various alcohol treatment programs claiming to be one of the best alcohol rehab centers available, but can they really be considered among the best if their services are limited?

Anyone suffering from years of alcohol abuse generally needs a period of detox, the amount of time it takes for the body to rid itself of the toxic substances of alcohol. In some cases, the withdrawal symptoms can be quite severe, and oftentimes requires medical supervision.

Many alcoholism treatment facilities do not offer detox programs, so a potential client must first detox in a different facility before being accepted into their alcohol rehabilitation program.

In other cases, intervention is required in order for someone dependent on alcohol to make the decision to enter an alcohol rehabilitation program. Again, not all of the facilities that claim to be among the best alcohol rehab centers offer intervention.

If you are truly serious about getting your life back together and putting down the bottle for good, it's best to find an alcoholism treatment center that does in fact offer a full range of services. Many of the best alcohol rehab centers employ an interventionist who is on call 24/7 to assist families in convincing their loved ones that they are in need of an alcoholism treatment program.

In addition, these full service programs will have certified medical professionals on staff to assist with detox process. If medication is necessary to facilitate the detox period, the best alcohol rehab centers will prescribe and administer medication to make their clients more comfortable during the process of detox.

In addition, the best alcohol rehab centers will offer a full suite of treatment plans that include individual counseling, group therapy sessions, peer-to-peer groups, ongoing family counseling, introduction to the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and a full aftercare program with ongoing outpatient care.

Make sure when researching alcohol treatment programs that the facility you choose offers all of the above services. Only then can they actually claim to be one of the best alcohol rehab centers.

The best alcohol rehab centers are those that offer an extensive alcoholism treatment program that offers multiple forms of therapeutic options. 12 Palms Recovery Center has a comprehensive suite of treatment options that includes intervention, detox and many other treatment modalities. For more information, please call 1(866) 331-6779, or visit us at http://www.12PalmsRecoveryCenter.com.

What is Alcohol Poisoning

Alcohol poisoning (AP) occurs when a person consumes an excessive amount of alcohol, usually in a short period of time, creating a toxic blood alcohol level. AP is dangerous and can be life-threatening.

How alcohol can become toxic

The liver metabolizes approximately one alcoholic drink per hour. A drink is defined as one 12 ounce beer, one 5 ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 fluid ounces of spirits (80 proof). When a person consumes several drinks in a period of time before the liver can process the alcohol through the blood, the person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level can become dangerously high. Rapid drinking and binge drinking puts a person at risk for AP. Alcohol is a depressant. It slows reflexes and body function. A high or toxic BAC level can affect a person's breathing, heart rate, and cause the person to lose consciousness. Many people who die from AP die because they pass out and then vomit and choke. Approximately 50,000 people die in the US each year from AP.

Signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning

Even after a person stops drinking, his or her BAC can continue to rise over the next hour. Symptoms that may indicate a person is experiencing AP include confusion, pale or bluish skin, hypothermia (decreasing body temperature), conscious but unresponsive, vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness, and slow or irregular breathing.

How to help someone if you suspect alcohol poisoning

The most important thing you can do to help someone who is showing any signs of AP is to get them immediate medical attention. Don't think they can "sleep" it off. They could die in their sleep. Call an ambulance to get them to the hospital. If the person is awake, try to keep them awake and in a sitting position. If they can drink something, give them water only, to help counteract dehydration. If the person is unconscious do not try to give them water. Put them in the recovery position and check for breathing while you wait for the ambulance. To put someone (who is unconscious and still breathing) in the recovery position, roll them onto one side with the arms at a ninety degree angle and bend their top leg up towards their chest to brace their position. Rest their head on the back of one of their hands and lift their chin to make sure their airway is open but keep their mouth turned toward the side so they won't choke if they vomit. Stay with them and monitor them until the ambulance arrives. Alcohol poisoning is a serious condition and you could be saving their life.

The Marchman Act and Your Family

In an ideal world, drug addicts would recognize and accept that they have a problem and choose to undergo drug treatment. In reality, however, many people with substance abuse problems refuse to believe that they have a problem, or they think their case is hopeless. At some point many addicts become a danger both to themselves and to loved ones. In the state of Florida, families and friends of those with serious drug abuse problems can compel an addict to undergo forced drug treatment. In some cases this can be life saving treatment, and can prevent families from being permanently torn apart due to addiction.

How the Marchman Act Works

Family members and friends of an out-of-control addict may invoke the Florida Marchman Act in order to force the addict into treatment. The process starts with requesting a hearing in front of a judge, who may determine that the addict needs addiction assessment. If the addict is deemed to need assessment, and if the assessment results in the recommendation of drug rehabilitation, the addict can be sent into treatment by court order. If the addict leaves treatment before completing their program, they can be forced to return to treatment, or they can be incarcerated. Because the consequences of leaving rehab are severe, the addict is more likely to stick with treatment.

Specialized Help Is Available to Families in Crisis

When a loved one is addicted and has become a danger to himself or herself or to others, the family is already in crisis. The stress of watching a loved one's life fall apart due to substance abuse is tremendous. That's why there are attorneys who know how to use the Marchman Act and who make it their job to help families work through the courts to get the addict life-saving treatment.

The Risks of Going it Alone

While you do not have to use the services of an attorney when trying to get a loved one into court ordered drug treatment, there are benefits to doing so. At these hearings, the addict is appointed counsel as well, and it is their job to try to prove that the addict does not need forced treatment. Furthermore, paperwork and court filings can be complex, and you risk failing to get help for your loved one by making a mistake on a form or missing a deadline. Working with an attorney with experience in this area can be a smart investment.

When You Have No Other Options

Going through the court system to force an addict into treatment is not something to be taken lightly. But it is an option that is available when nothing else has worked. The truth is, some addicts simply will not get treatment unless they are forced to. Without treatment, they could die, and tear their family apart in the process. If your family is in crisis due to drug addiction, invoking the Marchman Act to get treatment for your loved one could save a life and prevent other lives from being permanently destroyed.

The Marchman Act was created to help families in crises that are dealing with an addict's out of control behavior. The Act allows for forced drug treatment ordered by a court that requires the addict to get help before they can injure themselves or anyone else.

Identifying Alcoholism And Finding Treatment Options in Pennsylvania

Alcoholism is essentially defined as an addiction to alcohol, to the point where it disturbs the functioning of your life. The truth is that it is possible to be an alcoholic without even knowing it. If you have been noticing that your alcohol consumption seems high or that it has recently been on the rise, it is worth looking into whether or not you have an alcohol problem, and if you do, to consider alcoholism treatment options. If you happen to live in Pennsylvania, there are plenty of alcoholism treatment options that might suit you.

Do I Have Alcoholism?

One indication that you might have an alcohol problem involves drinking even when it has caused you problems in the past. For example, has your drinking ever caused you to drive while intoxicated, to skip out on your responsibilities, to miss work or to get in trouble with the police? These are all things that indicate that your problem is out of control. Similarly, regularly drinking until you get sick or until you black out can definitely be a sign that you need to seek treatment.

Alcoholism is also a condition that affects the people around you and the way that you interact with them. For example, have you considered whether or not you hide the fact that you are drinking too much from the people around you? Do they treat you differently when you have been drinking, or have they ever told you that you are drinking too much? These are all signs that you might be experiencing a problem.

Analyze when you are drinking. Alcoholics are more likely to drink while they are alone, and they tend to use alcohol as a relief from stress. Do you find that you drink on your own a fair amount, and do you find that you are reaching for alcohol as a relief whenever you feel angry or upset? The problem is that alcohol tends to be a mood amplifier, and if you start to drink when you are upset, it can make your emotional state even worse.

Similarly, consider how you react to the idea that you might be dependent on alcohol. Do you immediately feel a sense of fear, anger or dread? Some people who are alcoholics fight or deny the idea that they could be addicted because if they are addicted, they know they should change.

How Can I Help Myself

When it comes to looking at alcohol abuse symptoms PA, also known as Pennsylvania, is one place where you can definitely get help. When you are trying to identify alcohol abuse symptoms PA public services has a number of different resources for you. There are local support groups, both public and private, that can give you the information to quit as well as the support to help you get clean, and on top of that, you will be able to get advice from people who have been in the same situation that you are going through. These support networks understand what you are going through and genuinely wish to help you through the challenge of healing yourself.

The truth is that while there is plenty of help available, you have to take the first step yourself. This is something that you have to decide that you want, so consider what it means to you.
