1. Relief for Drug Addicts
Author :- Dion Silva
The sole purpose of any good rehab program is to free an individual from the
asphyxiating bonds of drug and alcohol abuse. These programs help enable an individual
to live life to its fullest and enjoy its many joys without the influence of either drugs or
liquor. You must know that addiction is a disease and it is curable—various successful
drug and alcohol rehab and dual diagnosis programs stand testimony to the fact. In this
article you will find some useful information about these programs.
If you have either drug abuse problems or alcoholism or both you must consult with a
good drug treatment center for the best dual diagnosis or rehab program suited for your
condition. In view of this consultation, your case is studied by physicians and they will
subsequently perform tests to pin-point the right program for you. Since each addict is
unique (as the origin of the addiction is unique) every person has his/her own tailor
made rehab program. For example, men’s drug rehab program differs greatly from
women’s drug rehab. Men require more treatment as their cases are more frequent in
number. Several programs and processes are employed—residential treatment,
detoxification, counseling, diet, meditation, exercise, physical activity etc.

2. Depending on the history and severity of the case, drug treatment center might advise
what processes need to be included in your rehab program. For example, a recent history
of addiction requires outpatient treatment whereas a prolonged one requires rigorous
inpatient therapy.
If you have had just a recent case of drug abuse with no past history and wish to
emancipate yourself from it then outpatient treatment is the best. Patients receive
guidance and counseling which works better than any forms of medicine. This form of
treatment is only suitable when the addiction is in its primary stages. These are for those
individuals whose personal and work lives have not been affected by drug abuse and they
show a strong determination to quit. Drug rehab California treatment centers have
expert and experienced outpatient departments.
But if you have been in the clutches of drug addiction for too long and it is starting to
affect your job, social, marital or love life then it is time to stop and get yourself into an
‘inpatient’ treatment center. The inpatient treatment consists of detox and many other
procedures. It is an extremely effective method which is usually followed by counseling
and guidance on how to avoid temptations in the future.
Getting away from drugs through rehab
The decision to enter into a drug rehabilitation program is often the most crucial one in
the life of an addict. Usually the decision is taken by some relative or loved one. When
drug and alcohol abuse has really gone out of one’s hand, there is no other option but
immediate medical care and continuing rehab programs. Finding the right rehab center
to approach in this instance is often not so easy. The Newport Beach private drug rehab
in California and the drug rehab in Orange County are some of the best examples of
luxury treatment centers.
The reasons for drug addiction can be manifold. The chief role of a private drug rehab
center would be to find what the factors behind the addiction are. Addiction can be due
to genetic issues as well as the effect of one’s living environs. Within the initial stage of
the rehab program, the root causes of the addiction will be analyzed by getting to know
about the addict’s personal and professional life. This is done through counseling as well
as discussions with the addict’s family members and friends. The primary treatment
starts with medications to drive the drugs and its effects from the body of the addict. It
is just like treatment for any disease. As Dave Mustaine of the rock band Megadeth
comments, drug addiction “is a disease”. The medical treatment may last for almost a
month.
Once the effects of the drugs have been driven out, the focus shifts to counseling and
holistic development of the individual. This phase involves sharing of experiences with
others in the rehab program and personalized care. Since the experiences and actual
causes for the addiction are different from one individual to the other, the method of
approach will also be based on the knowledge and research from the treatment of a wide
variety of addicts. The drug rehab in Orange County also provides the wonderful
facility of relaxing and meditating on the beautiful beach as part of the private drug
rehab program.

3. Since the treatment incorporates both aspects of physical well being and emotional
stability, the effects of the private drug rehab are long lasting. But all addicts have a
tendency to relapse into old habits, sometimes even after years of treatment. To tackle
this problem, the drug rehab in Orange County focuses on continued treatment by way of
constant interactions and support for the individual.
We can win as one
In 1839, selling drugs on Chinese soil was a crime, as is the case in most parts of the
world today. That was a period when there existed a huge and growing demand for Asian
goods in Europe and the west. The Europeans paid for these goods with silver. And since
there were no European goods that the Chinese were interested in, the flow of hard
currency was steadily towards Asia. The British did not produce enough silver of their
own and had to buy it from other countries, pushing the transaction costs even higher.
So, they set out to even out the demand imbalance by creating demand for a product –
Opium. What the world witnessed, as a result, was a bloody and fearsome war called
‘The opium wars’.
In the early ‘70s, the world was familiarized with the term ‘War on Drugs’. Popularized by
the Nixon government, this was the culmination of several anti-narcotics efforts the
beginning of which can be traced back to as early as 1914. The idea was to put a system
in place that curbed the use of psychoactive drugs. In 2008, a whopping 1.5 million
Americans were apprehended for drug related offenses. One third of these were
sentenced and jailed. Whether the government achieved its goal or not is a matter of
debate. But their accomplishments are commendable. And other countries around the
world have also begun similar programs.
Any government initiative is not complete until the citizens partake in it wholeheartedly.
The ultimate success of these endeavors lies in spreading awareness among the common
people about the downsides of drug abuse. Science has progressed enough today to
explain the working of drugs and designing effective drug treatment programs. There
are several measures that we as individuals could take in order to launch our own
personal wars against this menace.
Firstly, we must say no to these drugs ourselves. We must tell ourselves that our lives
are precious and it is not worth wasting on a false sense of bliss that lasts only till it
does. If we know we are already hooked on, now is the time to ask for help and decide to
quit the habit. When we know of someone affected, it is our responsibility to help them,

4. counsel them and coerce them to join a treatment programs. Last but not the least,
we must remove from the society’s psyche that resorting to drugs is an easy way to
achieve happiness and instill the confidence that we can win as one.
