This can be seen as a blending of depression and a strong feeling that this is going to go on forever, combined with the feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, and the belief that the withdraw is actually worse than it really is.<br />
<br />
One thing addicts suffering from <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-stop-heroin-withdrawal.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">opiate withdrawal</span></a> need to remember is that this feeling is only temporary and tell themselves that this too shall pass. Hollywood movies are great at portraying how bad withdrawing from heroin and other opiates but what one needs to keep in mind is that there are two parts to addiction to opiates which are the psychological and the physical.<br />
<br />
In most cases it is the psychological part that plays havoc with the heroin addict. Another misconception about this is that people really think they can die from withdrawal but even though you may feel like your dying and trust me I have been there you will not die from it; however you can actually die from barbiturate or alcohol withdrawal and many folks do.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Symptoms of detoxing from heroin or other opiate medications</b></span><br />
<br />
Most people have flu like symptoms when coming off heroin or other opiates which include goose bumps, diarrhea, aches and pains throughout the body, insomnia, cold or hot sweats, heroin cravings, and perhaps more that are not covered here.<br />
<br />
If you need help to overcome heroin addiction there are plenty of treatment facilities out there that can help treat <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-stop-opiate-withdrawal.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">addiction to opiates</span></a> of all kinds; including painkiller addiction.<br />
<br />
If you happen to be addicted to painkillers I would look for a rehab that specializes in dealing with opiate withdrawal medically the main reason for this is that one can be detoxed from medications like, percocet, oxycontin, or morphine. I have personally been detoxed from heroin and other opiates in the past and I would recommend this method for those that fear withdrawal.<b><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Find the right opiate addiction treatment facility</span></b><br />
<br />
One of the best methods to find a rehab to treat withdrawal from opiates would be to ask someone you know that has been to rehab before they can more than likely refer you to a qualified treatment facility. If you do not happen to know someone that has been to treatment another good idea would be to search online. When you locate a few I would suggest that you give them all a call and when find the one that fits your needs schedule an appointment to come in I would also make sure that it is in driving distance from your home so friends and family can come and support you in your heroin addiction recovery.<br />
<br />
It is possible for anyone to fight heroin addiction and find a new way to live clean and sober I say this because I have done it and have personally observed many others kick heroin.<br />
<br />
The best way to beat addiction to drugs is to have a plan of action. I personally like to use an integrated approach. An integrated approach involves many different techniques when I got out of rehab I made a commitment that I was going to go for a long walk every day, attend meetings daily, and eat healthy, I also exercised daily.<br />
<br />
Just remember that addiction is an equal opportunity destroyer and it does not care how much money you have in the bank, where you came from, or the color of your skin in the long run it always wins and things more often than not end badly.<br />

I was shooting heroin every day for at least a year then the heroin began drying up and this is the first time I knew what it was like <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-you-can-get-through-heroin.html">withdrawing from heroin</a></span>.<br />
<br />
When my last dose stated to wear off my eyes started tearing and I was yawning a lot and wanted a bag of dope like there was no tomorrow. The first was the by far only the start because the major <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-stop-heroin-withdrawal.html">opiate withdrawal </a></span>continued to progress with stomach crams, aches and pains in the legs and joints, goose bumps, diarrhea, insomnia, and craving heroin.<br />
<br />
At this point I was basically freaking out I need another shot of heroin fast but did not have the money to get it. I had at this point resigned myself to having to go heroin cold turkey. Having done it before I new I was in for some hard times. I did not give up because I knew if was to continue to use heroin meant a death sentence so I stuck it out. <br />
<br />
The good news is that you too can learn how to overcome heroin addiction and find a new way to live. I was basically a hopeless dope fiend and now I am a faithful hope fiend.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to recover from heroin in opiate addiction rehab</span></b><br />
<br />
The best way for anyone to beat an addiction to heroin is by entering some type of opiate rehab anyway this is the most preferred method by addicts to quit heroin and the reason is because one can be medially detoxed from heroin.<br />
<br />
If you go you will be well taken care of by a staff of trained professionals who will be there 24/7 to see to your needs as well as administer prescription medications to help ease your withdrawal symptoms. This process normally takes around five days but after completing your detox you will go directly to residential treatment where you will learn many new tactics to help you stay clean and sober.<br />
<br />
In residential treatment you will be there with other people that are trying to overcome their addiction to opiates as well. Everyone will be required to attend 12 step meetings, lectures, one on one substance abuse counseling, and group therapy, plus anything else the treatment facility deems relevant to your drug addiction recovery.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Heroin home detox</span></b><br />
<br />
There is also the option of kicking heroin at home for those that can not afford going to rehab. This can be done with over the counter medications to help relieve withdrawal symptoms.<br />
<br />
I would strongly recommend getting together with your counselor before leaving to treatment to come up with an aftercare plan. Most people will want to continue with there sobriety with ongoing 12 step meetings while others may want to continue with substance addiction therapy both are good choices.<br />
<br />
If you plan to stop using opiates like heroin from home it is very important to come up with a solid heroin addiction recovery plan. A good plan will help you to remain clean and sober after you finish detoxing from heroin or whatever opiates you are taking. A good plan should consist of attending meetings every day and talking with others in recovery. I have been clean for some time now and I still attend meetings regularly because meetings are what got me sober and are how I stay clean today.<br />
<br />
It may sound like a tall order attending meetings on a daily basis on the other hand how bad do want to quit heroin. I would also ask how much time and effort did you put into finding ways and means to cop another bag of heroin.Art Coburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16787159078518400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508936075361539274.post-44246439718598867152013-07-15T16:38:00.003-04:002015-01-24T10:11:11.386-05:00 How can I get through Norco or withdrawal without relapsing?What to expect in a rehab that is trying to help you to get through Norco withdrawal.

<br />
<br />
<br />
This prescription medication is used now days quite frequently in hospitals to treat patients that have recently undergone surgery or being treated for some sort of injury like a sprain or broken bone.<br />
<br />
I know for a fact that a lot of Doctors are prescribing Norco too. They seem to prefer it to Vicodin these days which is the number one pain medicine prescribed; in fact it is estimated that in the U.S. alone over 130 million according to a national survey its no wonder we have problems with Norco and Vicodin.<br />
<br />
I also believe in a lot of cases opioid medications are being over prescribed. I mean lets just say that for example a person goes to their dr. with a sprained ankle and after being examined the first thing they do is get out the prescription and prescribe a drug like Norco or Vicodin when a regiment of Tylenol and Motrin would have done the job.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Recovery is not possible without complete surrender</span></b><br />
<br />
Now let me just say that there is no sense in going to rehab unless you have surrendered. What do I mean by surrendering well let me just put it like this when I was using I tried every way in the book to use successfully and I did not find a way.<br />
<br />
I tried many different combinations; for example, I would <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">stop using heroin</span></a> and switch to pills or booze. Nothing worked I was beaten and once I became willing recovery was then possible. So if you have not surrendered I would suggest that you save your money until you are ready.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to get the help you need in Hydrocodone addiction rehab</span></b><br />
<br />
Now if and when you are ready there are so many different kinds of rehabs out there that can help you to overcome your drug abuse that its not funny.<br />
What I would suggest is that you think about what kind of treatment you will need and then find the rehab that fits your needs and go!<br />
<br />
Me being a recovering addict and having been to rehab before I would look for one that specializes in <i>Hydrocodone treatment</i> because they can help you <i>stop using opiates</i> with a medical detox simply because this technique will help you to deal with and ease <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-to-get-withdrawal-ease-with.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">opiate withdrawal </span></a>a whole lot better than going cold turkey at home.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How you can avoid an overdose from opiates</span></b><br />
<br />
The bottom line is that we can not do it alone we need help so I would get some help right away because many folks are dying on a regular basis from opiate overdose. I have personally lost a whole lot of friends to the disease of addiction please do not become another statistic.<br />
<br />
If an addict like me can stop using drugs and stay clean and sober I am convinced that anyone can. All it takes is a little work everyday and you can change your thinking patterns but the thing is you have to have an open mind because you can not graft new ideas on a closed mind. <br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

This is a pretty straight forward method that one can use to beat any opiate addiction including addiction to painkillers such as Percocet, oxycontin and Vicodin.<br />
<br />
Lets take a little closer look at how one can stop using heroin or overcome<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-stop-using-painkiller.html"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">painkiller withdrawal </span></a></span>in the privacy of their home by using suboxone taper method.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to taper off of heroin or painkillers with suboxone</span></b><br />
<br />
The first thing one needs to even begin anything like this is to surrender or in other words admit that you can no longer use heroin or painkillers successfully that every time you use them the drugs win out and you are beaten down time after time. If you can do this then recovery is possible and the next step is contacting a Suboxone Doctor to help you to <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/06/heroin-detox.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">detox from heroin or painkillers</span></a>.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to contact a Suboxone Dr.? </span></b><br />
<br />
One should be prepared to travel a little ways in order to get an appointment with this type of doctor because they have to have a special license to prescribe this medication. When I used it I had to drive like forty five miles for my appointment but you may find one a couple miles away it depends on where you like. The good new is your suboxone prescription may be covered by insurance. My Medicaid paid for it.<br />
<br />
Once you have found one give them a call and schedule an appointment and tell the receptionist that you would like to get in as soon as you can. Do not put this off your life depends on you getting some heroin addiction help.<br />
<br />
When you meet with the doctor tell them of the desire you have to stop using drugs and they will ask you questions like how much and how often that you use drugs so be honest because they will use this information to determine how much suboxone you will need each day and how many milligrams each dose should be.<br />
<br />

If you have the desire to be completely detoxed from painkillers or would like to <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-you-can-get-through-heroin.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">withdraw from heroin </span></a>in a couple weeks then let the doctor know or maybe you will be like me and need to be on suboxone maintenance. What ever your choice is you have made a good move by seeking suboxone treatment a lot of people swear that it’s a miracle cure for all opiates.<br />
<br />
One final suggestion here is that you should already be attending 12 step meetings or going to substance abuse counseling and if you are not you need to make plans to start because there is no way you can stay clean and sober alone.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

<br />
A lot of people unknowingly become hooked on pain medication because they did not take them exactly as they were prescribed by their Dr. they may have legitimately started taking them control their pain that they are suffering from some type of surgery or injury. What generally happens is in the beginning the medication is controlling the pain just fine.<br />
<br />
Then after a while one day they take their medication and find that it is not helping to relieve their pain so they take it upon themselves to increase their dosage by taking another pill. What has happened here is they have created a tolerance to what ever opiate drug they happen to be taking. Now the person has to take more and more to get the feeling or desired effect which they got when they began taking it This is a not uncommon it happens with all opiate medications; including, Vicodin, Percocet, OxyContin and numerous others.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to prevent Painkiller Addiction </span></b><br />
<br />
What they should've done before they took it upon themselves to increase their dosage is to call the prescribing physician. In a lot of cases like this all their Dr. would've had to do is change their medication because evidently it was not strong enough to ease their pain.<br />
<br />
If this sounds like anything that you may be experiencing or anyone that you know who is going through here are some solutions to help overcome <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-can-inpatient-drug-rehab-help-me-to.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">pain pills addiction</span></a> and withdrawal. If you want to learn how to stop taking painkillers then the first thing you should do is call your doctor because they have the knowledge of how to help you get through it. It could be as simple as tapering you off of Vicodin or Percocet.<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Best way to taper off of percocet or vicodin</span></b><br />
<br />
They will probably give you instructions how to slowly reduce the amount of pain medication you are taking each day. When I did it they slowly reduced the amount of milligrams of Vicodin per day that I was used to using. Keep in mind that most of you are not going to be able to do this on your own.<br />
<br />
We all need some type of help from time to time and in your case this is going to be one of them. What I would do is contact a loving friend or family member that can dole out your medication to you each day as needed. This is sort of like a failsafe mechanism because I was the type addict that I would of taken them all before I barely got started. Remember this is only the first step to getting over your addiction.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to detox from vicodin and heroin </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are detoxing from drugs like Vicodin or heroin you
will be given other prescription medications that will help ease the pain and
discomfort of your withdrawal symptoms. It has been my experience that once
these medications take affect the withdrawal pain will be relieved.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This process should take around five days to complete but
this is only the beginning of your drug addiction recovery because the next
step is residential treatment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In residential treatment you will be required to attend 12
step meetings, group therapy, lectures, watch recovery related videos, and go
to substance abuse counseling. That idea is that you will learn enough to help
you stay clean and sober when you leave rehab.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would suggest for you leave treatment to get together what
your counselor come up with an aftercare plan. A lot of people like to continue
with their substance counseling and 12 step meetings if this is your goal what
you need to do is make an appointment with your therapist or find one and make
an appointment. If you plan to attend NA or AA meetings then you will want to
find out when and where the meetings are and write down the ones you plan on
attending. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recovery is a process if you have relapsed in the past put
it behind you and start over again never give up. I have heard a lot of people
including myself say that its embarrassing to come back from a relapse and
share about it. Well think at it like this at least you got the chance because
a lot of folks never get that chance because they died from a drug overdose or
are spending the rest of their lives in prison for a drug related crime. </div>

Good luck</div>

I started using heroin at the young age of 16. Now keep in

heroin in different times with my other using buddies but before long it became

When I ran out and could not find any ways <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-you-can-get-through-heroin.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">heroin withdrawal</span></a>. Let
me just say that it was no picnic .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
or means to get
any more dope I started going through what is known as <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I tried many failed attempts to quit using heroin. Sometimes
I just stay clean for a week or two but I always went back to my old use. So
let me just say if you never tried heroin please never do. It is one of the
most powerful and addicting drug known to mankind. In my opinion it may even be worse
than crack cocaine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyone today that knows anything about crack knows it is one
of the most addicting drugs there is in the world. Just one hit can get a
person addicted for the rest of their life. I'm not saying heroin is worse but
they are both terrible and nearly impossible to overcome without the right
addiction recovery tools.. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have tried both and found crack harder to get of than
heroin. The only way I was ever stop using crack was to start using heroin
again and that's what saved my life was going to long term drug rehab.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your best bet is to stay away from anyone and I mean anyone
that uses any type of drugs whatsoever. If you follow this advice you have a
good chance of living a relatively normal life if you don't the alternative is
jails, institutions, and death and keep in mind that they do not have to come
in this order. I have been to the state penitentiary twice in jail so many
times that I have lost count. I spent thousands and thousands on attorney fees
to get me out of my trouble's and yet it was not enough to get me to stop using
drugs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It did little good because as soon as I was out of what ever
kind of mess I was in I would return to my old ways and start using drugs
again. My advice to parents is if your child gets in trouble let them suffer
the consequences do not in I repeat do not bail them out of jail no matter what
because this will only prolong them from getting the drug addiction help they
need.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now days its not so uncommon for
people in the working class to know of a fellow employee that has a<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>vicodin
addiction and need to go to rehab to get through vicodin withdrawal</em><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>. The thing about this type of an
addiction is that you do not have to be a low life street junkie to become
addicted to it. That's right there are high profile lawyers, doctors, and CEO'S
that have become addicted. If you would like to learn more about this please keep
reading.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Some of you may ask how does
this happen? Sometimes I think the doctors that prescribe these prescription
medications that contain <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-get-through-opiate-withdrawal.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">hy</span><span style="color: #0b5394;">drocodone</span></a><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span>are partially responsible because a lot of folks go to the doctor
with one type of injury or another: for example, lets say a person sprains
their ankle while playing tennis or running and so they go to the doctor and
they are prescribed painkillers that contain this very addicting medicine.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lets take a look at what
the person may have done differently</span></span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now here are some things that
the person may have done differently. Keep in mind that I am not a doctor I
just help people to try to overcome their drug or alcohol addictions or nip
them in the bud before they get started.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">First of all before going to the
doctor they could have tried taking Motrin or a similar over the counter
medication to help ease the pain and if it failed to help then they could have
went to the doctor and got something stronger.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now lets just say that someone
else did not try this and went straight to their doctor and were prescribed
some type of drug containing this medication like vicodin they could have
refused to accept the prescription or they could except and chose to not fill
it right away. Anyway hypothetically they could go home and try some over
the counter medications and if they did not help to alleviate the pain then
they could then fill there prescription.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My point is to be safe and avoid
a possible addiction to this drug they the patient may have gotten along just
fine with a regiment of Motrin and Tylenol. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you do indeed need help to
stop using vicodin or any other opiate medication the first thing I would
suggest is that you let the prescribing physician know of your desire to no
longer use the medication they will be able to safely help you to come off of them
without suffering any serious vicodin withdrawal<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Good luck<o:p></o:p></span><br />

usually appearing in a white or brown powder or appearing as a black sticky
material. Heroin is either injected, snorted or Heroin more commonly in youth
smoked.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The Effects of Heroin smoking: <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Heroin causes a number of side effects many of which are
extremely dangerous; in some cases even fatal. Heroin causes cloudy type
thinking, which is followed by 'awake states' as well as ' drowsy states also
known as nodding'. Because of this heroin suppresses breathing which could
sadly lead to a fatal overdose. Many individuals that smoke this drug suffer
from scratching or itching episodes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Statistics:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In 1999 a survey was taken which concluded that 607,000
Americans ranging from the age of 12 and up use heroin on a regular basis &
admit to being an addict. Sadly, this number is more than likely to have
increased significantly as of 2013. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Heroin decreases life expectancy, an unfounded study shows
males who are in fact addicted to heroin and smoke it multiple times a day will
live no longer than an additional 5 years from when they had began using the
drug. I used heroin for over 30 years and I can tell you that you do not see
many old junkies; in fact, most of the people I used with died long ago.<br />

Now days with the ready availability of heroin on the
streets there seems to be an increase in heroin addiction around the world. I
am not sure that its at epidemic proportion as yet but there is defiantly a
huge increase in addiction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One reason why so many people are becoming addicted to this
dangerous and debilitating drug is because of its purity and ready
availability. In fact addicts report that they can purchase a pack of heroin
for around the price of a six pack of beer. This drug is a lot more pure than
in years gone by because the drug lords are smothering countries with it and
its not being stepped on a half dozen times before it reaches the user. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another danger would be because of its high potency a lot
more people are smoking it these days; in fact, our youth have taken a liking
to it and are smoking it in rather alarming numbers. Using it in this
fashion is know as<a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;"> chasing the dragon</span></a> I
have heard that they think its cool to brag about.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This drug is deadly and can get you in its grips fast as
lightning the reason for this is because of its powerful euphoric or
pleasurable feeling the person gets when they induce it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to quit smoking heroin best thing you can do.
Say<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many individuals suffer unbearable withdrawal symptoms when
attempting to stop using the drug. Because of the severe withdrawals numerous
individuals tend to convert back to using again. However, there are those
individuals who successfully overcome their heroin addiction. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is extremely important that our youth understands the
damage that using this drug in anyway can ultimately do. As well as how
difficult life on the drug will be, by informing our youth of what heroin can
do we are feeding them the knowledge that is needed to be strong and say no!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Heroin and painkiller addiction are a couple nasty habits and this may be putting it bit mildly. Are you tired of spending all of your hard earned money on
heroin and other opiate painkillers? Are you sick and tired of being sick and
tired? If so, maybe you need to think of some ways of how you can stop using
painkillers.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Actually there are several ways that a person can quit using
drugs. Probably the best way for most people is going to some type of drug
rehab. Now again there are many different types are rehabs in the few that
would to be addicted to opiates you'll probably want to find a rehab that
specializes in opiate addiction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once you determine what type are rehab you need you are also
going to have to figure out whether you need your every day run of the mill
drug rehab or are you going to need a rehab that can medically detox you from
heroin or other opiate medications like OxyContin, Vicodin, or Percocet.</div>

Don't be confused detoxing from prescription medications can
be just as difficult is trying to come off heroin. I know this to be true
because I have detox him several different opiate medications. So if you want
to be as comfortable as possible when going through opiate or her own
withdrawal I would definitely choose the medical detox route.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you choose this method you will be looked after by a
staff of trained professionals. They will be there for you around-the-clock
seven days a week to make you as comfortable as possible during your <i>painkiller withdrawal</i>. They will also
administer other prescription medications to help ease the pain and discomfort
caused by your heroin or opiate withdrawal symptoms. In most cases the entire
detox process will take a little less than a week. Now keep in mind that once
this process is completed the next step is residential treatment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
In residential treatment you will be around many other

While there you will be required to attend lectures, 12 step
programs like narcotics anonymous, group therapy, one-on-one substance abuse
counseling, and videos about addiction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Back in the day when I first started getting clean and sober
residential treatment was like 28 days. Now due to insurance policies and
whatnot the maximum stays more like 10 to 14 days. This is not a very long time
for an addict to learn all that they need to know about how to stay clean once
they leave<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-stop-using-painkiller.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">substance abuse treatment</span></a></span>. It would be my recommendation that you
pay very close attention to what the counselors and staff are trying to teach
you because whether you realize it or not your life depends on it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recovery is not a game you are not there to start a new
relationship and as a matter of fact relationships that start in rehab will not
work. Trust me I've tried that too. One of you always end up using and the
other will follow soon after. Then you are right back in the same boat needing
to get clean again. The reason I'm telling you all this is so that you can
avoid the mistakes that I made.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay so maybe you are thinking about going into addiction
treatment for your opiate withdrawal problem.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If so then you are ready to take action. My recommendation
to you is to get on the phone and call up local treatment centers in your area.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may not have a lot of money, and you may not have health
insurance, but if you are diligent about trying to obtain treatment you should
be able to do so. Someone out there will help you to get the help that you
need.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is not an excuse to just keep drinking or using drugs and
say that you don't have enough money for treatment. There are agencies and
treatment centers that can help you even if you don't have access to insurance.</div>

Once you have made the decision to commit treatment, the
rest is just details. Get on the phone and figure out who is willing to help
you and what they can do for you. If they cannot give you treatment directly
asked them if there is someone who could help you with funding or with
treatment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are using heavy opiates such as painkillers or heroine,
you'll probably need an <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-you-can-get-through-heroin.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">opiate<span id="goog_1215422392"></span><span id="goog_1215422393"></span> detox</span></a>. After detox you will likely go to residential
treatment and probably be exposed to 12 step meetings. Try to keep an open mind
about the meetings even if you don't necessarily like them first.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most people who go to treatment don't end up making
permanent changes. They might try the meetings for a while but they lose
interest and they go back to their addiction.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to make it work in the long run you have to
commit to long-term changes. This is hard to do because most of us are used to
getting results more quickly than.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have been to treatment several times and you continue
to relapse, then you might consider going to long-term treatment at some point.
Long-term rehab does not work for everyone, but it may work for you if nothing
else has.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may also try getting a sponsor in your recovery journey.
A sponsor can help you in the same way the spiritual guide can help someone who
is seeking religion. If you feel lost in your recovery journey you may benefit
from having someone else to talk to and bounce ideas off. A sponsor can also
help you see problems that you might be running into that you are not aware of.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I strongly urge everyone to go to treatment and get
professional help if they have struggled with addiction. It does not have a
100% success rate, but it is certainly better than nothing. You have nothing to
lose by trying.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white;">That are may ways a person detox heroin and make it through heroin withdrawal. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">People develop a heroin addiction by finding it made
available to them in the most inconspicuous places, like bowling alleys and
other innocent looking places that make for finding targets susceptible to the
lure of heroin. We know that heroin is much like morphine and many other opiate
based medications. Both chemicals act to suppress pain, whether in the physical
body or in the mind of an abused or otherwise psychotic person.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Persons who sell heroin need a steady supply of
customers and their customers have to have an income. Persons who push heroin
don't care where their customers pick up the cash that they need to support
their<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelpguide.com/heroin-addiction-help-guide/"><span style="background: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">heroin addiction</span></a><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">. That
is why many of their customers start off as getting money from there jobs or
from the public domains known as welfare and other charity checks. Heroin is
not particular who it claims for its victims. It could care less whether you
came from </span><st1:street><st1:address><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">Park Place</span></st1:address></st1:street><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"> or Park
bench. The thing is once it puts its meat hooks into you you're through and
it's all over but the crying.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Once a victim is targeted and sold to by drug
dealer or pusher of heroin, he becomes the property, as it were, of the pusher
who has the product that the addict needs to maintain there addiction. Heroin
dealers are sometimes also very wealthy and occasionally influential in the
community at large.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 8.5pt;">There is very little that a victim of heroin
addiction can do to get free of their addiction because heroin is not going to
disappear anytime soon. A heroin addict can get free of the drug and if you would like to learn more <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/06/heroin-detox.html">please visit here</a></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/06/heroin-detox.html"> </a></span></span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">but like the addict of say,
tobacco, just seeing it is enough to send you off your change of habit into a
serious and probably painful relapse.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">If this sounds like you or someone you know I
would recommend that you seek help as soon as possible. Addicts are dying every
day from heroin overdose. It kind of makes me think of you never actually see
the bullet that kills you same thing with heroin addiction overdose.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Any addict can stop using drugs find a new way
to live clean. My suggestion to anyone who really wants to kick heroin would be
to go to heroin rehab. There you will be treated for your addictions by trained
specialist who will administer medication to help your<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;">go as
smoothly as possible. Most people who have been to this kind of rehab report
that they suffered very little and if you want to learn how<a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-you-can-get-through-heroin.html"> visit here</a>.. That's great news
because most heroin addicts have an overabundance of fear when it comes to
withdrawal.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt;"><br />Good luck<br />

rewarding </span></strong><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">There are many things that an addict can do to help them enjoy
long term heroin recovery. Another good place to start is to set some goals for
yourself. I made a list of short term, which can be from for example, 30 to 90
days. Just pick something that is not overly hard to complete. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">I used attending 30 meetings in 30 days as one of my goals and growth strategies to beat </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/10/drug-addiction-help-and-most-effective.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">drug addiction</span></a></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">, you
could even make it 90 whatever you fell comfortable with. Now you will want to
have someone to help you with this it could be your substance abuse counselor
or a sponsor. The reason is they can help keep you accountable by asking
you every week how you are progressing with your goals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">Next we will want to make a mid range goal that should be
anywhere from 6 months to a year. Once again choose one that is doable. Maybe
you have a desire to be more healthy so you could set up a fitness program; for
instance, you could join a gym but I would stick with something that you can do
for free. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">Here is something that may interest you that I still use today which is
going for a long walk everyday. Its really not that long its only like 1 and
1/2 miles but that's enough. I also do push ups and sit ups. If this
is something you may be interested in be creative and make your own program. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">Lastly you will want to make your long term goal. Maybe you have
always wanted to go back to school are have a better career, own your own home
or whatever. Make your goal from anywhere from </span><st1:time hour="13" minute="0"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;">1</span></st1:time><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia;"> to 10 years. Keep in mind that you
can always modify them if need be. Goals are great especially when you have
worked hard to accomplish them. The felling one gets when a goal is accomplish
is worth its weight in gold. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Lastly keep in
mind that what you put into your program you will get back in other words half
measures will avail us nothing. Feel good about your goals because after all
something we are doing to better ourselves. Goals are not that hard to
accomplish all we have to do is put a lot of work into them every day and
before we know it they will be complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to a drug detox center then if you do decide to go it may prove to be one of
the best decisions you have ever made in your life. Battling an addiction is
often a very difficult process for individuals. It is not uncommon for someone

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 14.25pt;">There are several myths associated with these types of centers.
One of these is that they are out for money and </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">aren't</span><span style="line-height: 14.25pt;"> of much help after the
person has become clean. This is completely false. Several of these programs
have outreach programs and other types of services that they offer to the
client even after successful completion. These addiction recovery tools can
help increase the odds of staying clean and sober, when taken advantage of.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

visiting a center firsthand. Not only can this jump-start recovery, but can
pave the way for a drug-free life. Sure, it seems like a small step, but it’s
one of the most crucial things that the addict can do. It allows the
opportunity to learn about what the program is like and to decide if this is
the right option or not, while ultimately setting the individual up to succeed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 14.25pt;">What I would do if I were considering on going to a inpatient rehab is do a little research; for example ask
a couple of them what there aftercare programs consist of. I would ask them if
there rehab offers outpatient treatment when you have completed the<a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-inpatient-treatment-can-help-you.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> inpatient

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 10pt;">With this type of information at your disposal you should have
little problem making a decision on which rehab you will attend. Recovery is
all about taking action and by doing this you are on your way to a successful
drug addiction recovery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are a number of treatment centers in Florida that
can help you to recover from drug and alcohol addiction, and some people will
tend to get hung up on figuring out which one they should go to or which one
has the highest success rate, and so on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
It doesn't matter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
By all means, go to treatment. Treatment can and does work, and any addict
or alcoholic who is struggling to overcome an addiction should definitely go to
rehab. It is absolutely worthwhile and I
am not saying that it is not worth going.
What I am saying is that it doesn't matter where you go or what program
they employ or how much it costs or how many therapists they have there and so
on. It just doesn't matter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
The addict or alcoholic in question is either ready to
get clean and sober or they are not.
They have either surrendered fully to their disease or they have
not. So really, the need for treatment
is sort of like an afterthought in most cases.
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
If you are pushing and shoving the addict with the<span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2009/07/benzdiazepine-addiction.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">benzodiazepine addiction</span></a> to please, please, please, just go to rehab, then it
is not going to work for them. Not in a
million years. But if they are
completely broken down and devastated with their life and really do not care if
or where they go to treatment, then that is a very good sign that they are
truly ready to stay sober.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Many people believe that there must be a magic bullet out
there. We hold out this hope for the
addict or alcoholic in our lives, a hope that some treatment center or rehab
out there must have the answer for this person.
And if only we could get the addict to go to the right treatment center,
then they would "get it" and their life would be transformed. It is this hope for a "magic
bullet" that causes us misery and misleads us into thinking there is an
answer "out there somewhere" for the addict in our life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
This is not true.
The answer is within. The answer
is in surrender. Once the addict
surrenders, any treatment center will work.
It could be the worst rehab in the world, but if someone is truly at the
point of change, then it will not matter how bad the place is and the treatment
will work. It is all about willingness
and their level of surrender. If they
are still clinging to some part of their denial then no treatment center can
help them.</div>

A <b>codeine overdose</b> can happen easily. Most people who receive prescription painkillers know that they need to follow the directions on the container exactly. Failing to follow them can have dire consequences.<br />
<br />
Opioid and prescription painkiller addiction and abuse can have long-term effects, but these long-term effects are different from the symptoms of an overdose. Victims of an overdose of codeine will suffer from shallow breath, rapid heart rate and unconsciousness.<br />
<br />
What should someone do if he encounters an overdose? If he can recognize the early warning sings, he should call a hospital. If someone comes upon a person who is unconscious, he should treat the individual for shock and call the local poison control center immediately.<br />
<br />
The hospital should send out an ambulance quickly. Most poison control centers will not tell a person with no medical training to take any course of action. The victim must be monitored by a medical professional until the poison clears his system.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to get help for codeine addiction </span></b><br />
<br />
If you need help in finding recovery from an <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2011/01/codeine-addiction-its-causes-and.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">addiction to codeine</span></a> then you might want to go to rehab. There you can get started on a new life in recovery and of course your success in staying clean and sober will be entirely up to you. Drug rehab can give you the opportunity that you need to start a new life, but they cannot do the actual work for you. Going to rehab makes it pretty easy to get a few weeks clean. <br />
<br />
After you leave, however, the real work of staying clean actually starts and you are faced with the challenge of not using drugs while still having your freedom to do so if you choose.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How you can get through hydrocdone withdrawal</span></b><br />
<br />
There is no magic bullet when it comes to recovery and drug rehab is merely one path that might help you on your way it can also help you to get trough a withdrawal from hydrocodone. If you leave rehab only to end up relapsing the next day or the next week or the next month, then this does not really serve you and is a pretty bit waste of time and money. <br />
<br />
In order to get the true benefits of recovery you are going to want to stay clean for a considerable period of time and that means that you need to put in some serious work. Unfortunately it takes a great deal of effort to stay clean, especially in the beginning, but that effort will pay off in a big way if you stick it out in your recovery.<br />
<br />
For every year that you stay clean and sober you will save yourself several thousand dollars and several years of life span. If you really stop and consider these benefits then it is really astounding. <br />
<br />
In addition to your life and your money, you will also significantly alter the quality of your life and greatly change the amount of stress and emotional problems that you will have to deal with. The benefits of sobriety are absolutely enormous and you have to live it in order to really appreciate it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, most addicts will not put forth the effort needed to recover. They might string together a few weeks of sobriety but then they will get lazy and slowly revert back to their old ways. The only way to prevent this is by taking massive action over a sustained period of time. That means putting forth a tremendous effort after leaving drug rehab and continuing to grow as a person long after you leave rehab. Not easy but definitely worth it.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

<br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Goals for success in <i>drug addiction recovery </i>can probably be found in the AA bible. When somebody's swimming for their life, though, they probably don't want to be bothered with flipping through a lot of soggy pages. Of course, the first goal is to not use right at this moment. The second goal is to not use right at that moment. The third goal is to not to use right then and there. If a drug addict can reach those first three challenges, even if they arise one on top of the other in a minute and a half span, there is a fighting chance.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;">It is very important for the addict those who are trying to give them addiction help to understand about <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/understanding-more-about-drug-abuse.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">how to stop drug abuse</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Getting addiction help to maintain drug addiction recovery</b></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Urges are surges, and like shock waves and bucking broncos, must be ridden until the riding is done. The next goal is to prepare for the next violent, bucking ride. The best way to prepare for this is to have a network of addiction help. For this other members of AA or NA programs work well. The reason for this is you can call on the 24/7 and they will be there to help you to get through whatever you are going through.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 19px;">Strip away the things that chain and trigger should be the next goal. If a certain person makes somebody want to use, then that certain person should be avoided. What song sounded the best while high? That song shouldn't be played anymore.</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 19px;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Finding a sponsor to help you through the hard times</span></b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;">The next goal for the recovering addict should be to find a strong anchor and somebody to be called upon when the disease of addiction is stomping the ground around them. That person has to be stronger than drugs and sweeter than candy, and more patient than a stoplight. This person will more than likely be the person you chose to be your sponsor.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;">My sponsor turned out to be my best friend we do a lot of things together like go to the movies or just hand out at one of our houses and talk. He is also there to help me to write the steps. If you get lucky enough to find a sponsor like this you had better hang on to them.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;">I call mine on a regular basis that is not to say it’s a one way street because he also calls me and picks me up to go to meetings and what not.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">One of the biggest goals an addict should have is Happiness</span></b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;">The next goal should be to find happiness and delight in anything not drug related. The pleasure centers of the drug addict need to be changed ASAP at this moment. Find delight; find it in anything or anybody that is sober. Enjoy, and learn to discover the pleasures of a drug free life. I mean if you can not be happy in your new life being clean and sober what is the point because you were plenty miserable while you were abusing drugs every day.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 19px;">Good luck</span><br />

If you need help with opiate or heroin addiction then you should consider going to drug detox. There you can get started on a new life in recovery by getting started with a fresh slate on your life. <br />
<br />
Getting clean and sober and dried out is the first step in overcoming any sort of addiction. Abstinence is the baseline for recovery. You have to start with a clean slate in order to start making real growth and progress in your life.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Inpatient treatment can help you overcome an addiction to heroin or other opioid drugs</span></b><br />
<br />
After you have this clean slate established from <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/drug-therapy-is-basically-therapy-that.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">drug therapy</span></a> then you will probably go to residential treatment. This is a part of most inpatient drug detox programs and the whole point is so that you do not simply end up relapsing again and having to go through another detox. If you do end up relapsing right away then this is quite a waste of your time and money. A must better path is to leave treatment and start making a serious effort on your recovery so that you can ultimately change your life and not go back to your old way of living.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Inpatient substance addiction detox</span></b><br />
<br />
They say there is only one thing you have to change in recovery and that is everything so why not start with <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/can-inpatient-substance-abuse-treatment.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">inpatient substance abuse treatment</span></a>. It is sort of a joke but at the same time there is some truth to it. Ask someone who has found success in recovery and they will tell you that yes, they indeed did have to change everything in their life in order to recover. The process of recovery is really that intense and those who fall short of this necessary level of change are doomed to end up relapsing.<br />
<br />
So how can you insure that you will stay clean after leaving detox? How can you insure success in recovery? There is no sure fire guarantee but if you push yourself to take massive amounts of action every single day then this is getting you off to a good start. <br />
<br />
Most people have a hidden belief that changing their life in recovery must be about changing their mind. They reason that their thinking is screwed up and that is what screws them up as far as addiction and using drugs is concerned. This is partially true but the solution is not to change your thinking as that is impossible. <br />
<br />
Instead, simply take massive action every day and your thinking will change automatically. The secret is in the doing, not in the thinking. "Bring your body and your mind will follow." People get stuck on the belief that they have to change their thoughts, when in reality they just need to get their tail in gear and take some real action towards recovery. The thinking will straighten out later on.<br />

Drug therapy is basically a therapy that uses medications to help with substance abuse addiction or medicines to treat various diseases. Medicines are usually given orally in the form of capsules, pills or liquid form or are injected into the muscles or tissues of the patient.<br />
<br />
However, using medications can sometimes cause unexpected and temporary side effects when they are combined with certain herbal remedies, foods or other drugs. Thus, the method of administrating this therapy using drugs varies largely according to the patient and the condition that has to be treated. <br />
<br />
One of the greatest benefits of drug therapy is the fact that that this therapy not only aids in treating diseases and infections, but also helps alleviate symptoms associated with various problems; for example, a person with an addiction to drugs such as opiates prescription medications may be used to alleviate opiate withdrawal symptoms.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, it can include using antibiotics can help treat common ailments, antidepressants are used to ease symptoms of depression. Similarly, while medications can be used to provide pain relief after an accident or surgery, they can also be used to fight addiction in a positive manner. <br />
<br />
However, seeking the advice of your physician before taking any medications is highly recommended to experience successful result.<br />
<br />
If you are addicted to prescription painkillers then I would suggest that you contact the physician that prescribed you the medication you have the problem with. They can help you to come up with a solution to stop using painkillers. It could be as simple as tapering off you medication or it could involve going to a drug rehab for a medical opiate detox.<br />
<br />

<br />
The important thing is that you take the proper steps to get yourself into treatment of some sort so that you have a chance at living a new life in recovery. If you don't interrupt the cycle of addiction then it is pretty difficult to make any sort of lasting changes. Drug rehab is an opportunity to get a few weeks of clean time in so that you can evaluate your life and make the necessary changes.<br />

<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make a decision to stop using opiate painkillers<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Next you will need to figure out how you intend to do this<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Options include tapering off of opiates or going to drug rehab<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Then you will want to find a drug rehab near you<br />
<br />
Now if you are serious about staying clean in recovery then you need to take big action. You can do this in a number of different ways and successful recovery will likely look different for different people. But the common thread is that everyone who stays clean and sober after leaving drug rehab is that they will have taken a massive amount of action in their life.<br />
<br />
You can prove this last point to yourself by interviewing recovering addicts and alcoholics. Ask them if they can look back at their early recovery for a moment and tell you something specific: did they just make a modest effort in early recovery, or did they push themselves to take a huge amount of action? <br />
<br />
In every single case I can assure you that the person living in successful recovery will automatically and instantly say that they took massive action. This is a given for anyone who has managed to stay clean and sober and they will answer this same way every time without hesitation. Of course they took massive action, how else would they be standing before you today being clean and sober? <br />
<br />
Do we actually think that sobriety and recovery might happen by accident? Do we actually think that some addicts just get lucky and sort of blunder their way into recovery and basically have an easy time of staying sober every day just due to sheer luck? This is the most ridiculous idea and yet the vast majority of addicts and alcoholics in early recovery expect to be able to get phenomenal results without putting in the work. <br />
<br />
Folks, it ain't going to happen and if you want to stay clean and sober and have an awesome new life then you have to do a massive amount of work to get there. To give you a rough idea of what all is involved, some addicts live in long term recovery for 2 years straight and when they leave out of there they still have a lot of effort and work to put into their sobriety. This is a long hard journey so be prepared to put in the effort.<br />
<br />

Oxycodone also known as Hillbilly heroin is used to manage chronic or acute pain. It can also be used to treat diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome and severe diarrhea. It is a drug that can be addictive though.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What are the side effects of Oxycodone </span></b><br />
<br />
Some of the effects that people may get from taking it are <i>memory loss, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, disturbing nightmares, dry mouth, heavy sweating, and anxiety</i>. Some people have experienced abdominal pain, urine retention, loss of appetite, and hiccups. In over doses, high doses, or in people who cannot handle the drug, it can cause clammy skin, shallow breathing, circulatory collapse, and death.<br />
<br />
People can experience oxycodone withdrawal symptoms if they stop using the drug abruptly. So if they are using oxycodone, they should gradually wean themselves off it. The symptoms of withdrawal can include panic attack, muscle pain, fever, and more.<br />
<br />
So if you are taking oxycontin drug for something and are starting think that you may have an oxydodone addiction just remember the first thing you should do is to contact the doctor that prescribed them too you.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The reason for this is that they can set a schedule to wean yourself from oxycodone. If that dose not work or you think it will not they more than likely know of an opiate rehab that can help you.<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Contact prescribing physician<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make a commitment to slowly wean off of oxycontin or percocet<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Go to an opiate addiction rehab or treatment facility<br />
<br />
One of the best ways to get help to overcome this nasty addiction is to go to drug rehab. I would try and locate one within driving distance from where you live then you family and friends can come to the rehab on visiting day to support you. It is very important for a recovering addict to feel that they matter and are loved. I know for a fact that a lot of addicts feel that they are not.<br />
<br />
The good thing about going to inpatient drug treatment or rehab is that you can be medically detoxed from oxycodone. Most people with this type of addiction are afraid to go through withdrawal and being detoxed medically you can rest assured that you will not suffer from withdrawal from oxycodone once the prescription medication they give you to ease the pain of withdraw kicks in.<br />
<br />
A lot of people who become addicted to this medicine will also use heroin because its cheaper but its probably more addicting and one could end up with a<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://is%20hillbilly%20heroin%20running%20your%20life%20and%20you%20want%20to%20know%20how%20to%20stop%20using%20oxycodone/"> hillbilly heroin addiction</a></span> which can be worse because you never know what the heroin is cut with.<br />
<br />
I would suggest that if you want to stop using oxycodone that you seek help right away because that things will get worse I know this to be true because it happened to me. I thing to keep in mind is that addiction progressive and fatal; in fact, a lot of folks end up dying from an overdose before they get the help they need to quit using.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

Methadone is an oral synthetic opioid in the same class with heroin that is medically used as an analgesic and treatment for opioid dependency. <i>Methadone Maintenance Therapy</i> is for individuals who failed to abstain from illicit drug use but would like to maintain opiate abstinence for significant periods for several months to a number of years.<br />
<br />
Desired normal results after administration for chronic pain is pain relief to the point that the pain is tolerable. For opiate drug addiction control purposes, is that the individual reduces illicit drug intake almost immediately upon start of treatment and total abstinence as the treatment progresses.<br />
<br />
Adverse effects to Methadone use is rare but common long term effects of Methadone are usually sweating, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, itching, urine retention, stomach cramps, sleep related abnormalities like insomnia and nightmares, change in libido, and altered appetite. Rapid dosage increase may cause euphoria, drowsiness, mild nausea, and vomiting.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to get through and beat methadone addiction </span></b><br />
<br />
If you are addicted to this medication the best thing you can do for yourself is to enter some sort of drug rehab. It has been my experience that being methadone is an opioid drug then your best bet to successfully beat methadone would be going to opiate rehab.<br />
<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Make up your mind that you really want to stop drug abuse<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Locate an exceptable rehab near you<br />
<b>·</b><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Then make plans to enter substance addiction treatment as soon as you can<br />
<br />
If you are struggling to beat an <a href="http://www.heroinaddictionhelpguide.com/how-to-beat-methadone-addiction/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">addiction to methadone</span> </a>then think about drug rehab and taking the proper action to do something about your problem. It all starts with action and therefore it all starts with a decision to take action. Surrender to the idea that you can no longer use drugs successfully and then make the decision to do something about your problem. The only thing that is required is action.<br />
<br />
You can ask for help and ask for guidance and people will generally show you where to go and what to do. If you ask around and ask the right people and ask those who care about you where you can get some help they will almost always direct you towards treatment. <br />
<br />
You might get on the phone and call around to local treatment centers and ask them what you need to do to get some help. Either they will help you directly or they will point you in the direction of someone who can.<br />
<br />
Now once you are at this point of earnestly seeking help for your problem then you are almost right where you need to be. The only thing left for you to do now is to start the ball rolling and then never stop. That means that you need to start chasing a new life in recovery and start taking massive action every single day. <br />
<br />
This might start with a trip to rehab and it will only end on the day that you die (or relapse). Now you definitely do not want to relapse and so your new goal in life is going to be to aim for continuous personal growth. For many people this will be a spiritual quest, but it does not necessarily have to be put in religious terms in your mind. <br />
You can pursue a new life in recovery and make it one of continuous growth without getting caught up in religious ideas. <br />
<br />
Some people will gravitate towards a more spiritual solution and that is fine. The truth is that the solution is holistic and that can easily accommodate both a spiritual and also a less religious approach.<br />
<br />
Pushing yourself to grow holistically in recovery is really the point of any spiritual quest, and any drug rehab that is doing their job properly will push you to do this in your recovery. Most rehabs actually will do this and so it is up to you to follow their simple suggestions and take massive action after you leave rehab.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />
<br />

Before a <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2010/07/heroin-overdose.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">heroin overdose of heroin</span></a> </span>victim enters the unconscious stage, some of these symptoms are present. If the patient realizes what has happened to him, he may have the presence of mind to call for medical help but this is very rare and usually not the case because they are enjoying the high so much and do not want to see it end. Most drug users do not overdose on these drugs intentionally. They simply take too much when they are partying and getting high.<br />
<br />
I was a heroin users for over 30 years and my thing was shooting heroin. Now keep in mind that this can be particularly dangerous if you do not know how pure the dope is that your getting. I was kind of a greedy addict and I would shoot a lot more dope than what was necessary.<br />
<br />
The wise person knows that the intent of the user does not matter. What he knows is that if he does not help a person suffering form an overdose, that person is likely to die. The key to survival is acting as quickly as possible.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to help someone that has succumbed to an overdose of heroin</span></b><br />
<br />
Where I came from when someone fell out or overdosed the first thing we would do is empty their pockets and relieve them of any dope or cash that they had on them. Then we would do what we could for them. Sometimes it was as easy as putting ice on their private parts and other times we had to call an ambulance.<br />
<br />
If you have ever had this experience and lived through it and are still using heroin I would suggest that you seek help right away because you never know when you will take a fatal overdose its kind of like you never see the bullet that actually kills you.<br />
<br />
There are many good opiate rehabs out the that can help you with your addiction to heroin. The good thing about them is that the addict can be medically detoxed so they will not have to experience any harsh heroin withdrawal symptoms<br />
<br />
Make plans to locate a rehab near you today and give them a call. I can tell you this I am glad that I went to rehab because I am clean and sober today. If I had not have made the decision to stop using heroin I seriously doubt that I would be writing this trying to help others to get clean.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

Here is a preview of the withdrawal symptoms of hydrocodone one can expect if they have been using this prescription medication for and extended period of time.

<br />
If you are struggling with<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span><a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/all-about-how-to-stop-snorting.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">snorting hydrocodone</span></a> then you might need opiate treatment in order to help you stop hydrocodone. The key to overcoming any addiction is to take real action in solving the problem. <br />
<br />
Sometimes people can fall into the trap of thinking that genuinely wishing things were different will actually change anything. In fact this sort of thinking will only make a drug problem worse and the only thing that will ultimately help an addict is to take drastic action and do something about their problem.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Options to rehab could be attending 12 step meetings</span></b><br />
<br />
Now one of the biggest steps that a person can take is to go into a drug treatment center. There are some alternatives to this of course, as someone could instead just try going to a few 12 step meetings for example. <br />
<br />
But that is not generally going to have as big of an impact as going into rehab will have. In fact, when you check into treatment you will probably end up going to some 12 step meetings anyway. But you will get a lot more help than just this as the benefits to going to an inpatient drug rehab are a lot greater than simple exposure to 12 step meetings.<br />
<br />
Consider the fact that you are being removed from the environment in which you used drugs to make it through your<a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/all-about-how-to-stop-snorting.html"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">withdrawal from hydrocodone</span></a>. This alone is a huge factor that many people underestimate. When you check into rehab for several days you get a clean break from the temptations of using drugs, and you also get a clean break away from some of the people who may have had some influence on your drug intake. Getting this clean break is essential in getting started on your recovery.<br />
<br />
Now the whole key to doing well in drug treatment is to take massive amounts of action. If they suggest that you do something then you do it twice. If they suggest that you do to a meeting each day then you should probably go to 2 each day. <br />
<br />
If they suggest that you get a sponsor in recovery then you should probably get a sponsor and call them every day and pick their brain to the fullest. If they suggest that you read some literature then you should probably read everything that you can get your hands on. Get the idea? Those who do well in recovery are the people who go really big in taking action.<br />
<br />
If you want to make a tiny bit of progress in your life and then relapse, then simply take a moderate amount of action. Do a little for your recovery. This produces poor results without fail.<br />
<br />
If you want to stay sober, then you need to go big.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

<br />
Trying to find free drug rehab can be a daunting task. When you are in the position of needing one for yourself or a loved one, money is usually the last thing about which you are concerned. However, the financial burden of typical rehabilitation facilities is a real issue.<br />
<br />
Finding the location of a free program largely depends on where you live or spend most of your time. Knowing that one exists in will not save you much money if you have. Your first stop should be to do a basic internet search for “<a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-find-free-drug-rehab-for-people.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">free drug rehab programs</span></a> + your state.” This will give you hundreds of websites to browse and inspect.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">How to find a free rehab</span></b><br />
<br />
If you are looking for detailed information about a variety of places in one spot, you can find it by visiting www.interventionamerica.org. This comprehensive website lists free rehabilitation centers in all 50 states with more than 14,000 listings. A basic description of each place is included, as well as the address and phone number, so you can call the facility yourself for more in-depth answers.<br />
<br />
If you need to narrow your search down more, it allows you to choose a facility based on treatment needed and whether or not they accept insurance. Do not quit searching it is also even very possible to find a state funded drug rehab in your area.<br />
<br />
The first and hardest step to finding a free drug treatment program completely free of cost is admitting that you, or someone you love, has a drug addiction and desperately needs one in the first place. With a little internet research, finding a program you can afford in your own state will not be a barrier to getting the addiction help you need.<br />
<br />
There are many free drug rehabs and treatment centers out there that can help you to overcome addiction but you have to do the footwork. This basically means that you will have to take action and start looking. One thing you could do is look for a state funded drug rehab.<br />
<br />
Get out your phone book and call all the rehabs you find and ask them if they can help you if they can not ask them if they could direct you to a <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2011/05/government-funded-inpatient-drug.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">state or government funded drug rehab facility</span></a> that may possibly be able to help you.<br />
<br />
Now if you strike out here you can do a much larger search. One thing you may want to ask yourself is that if you are willing to go to a rehab that is not near your home town; for instance it could be in another state. This is just some of the things you may have to be willing to do to get the addiction help you are seeking.<br />
<br />
In a lot of cases going to rehab in another state can turn out to be a blessing in disguise because you will get away from all your old using cronies. So it will be a fresh start for you all the way around. It will take a lot of courage to make this move and some of you will not be willing to make this move and will die in your addiction because you were not willing to do whatever it takes to overcome drug or alcohol addiction.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />

Getting the Right Information on Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation is usually difficult for most people to deal with drug or substance abuse. Most people are not aware of how to go about getting the right information on Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and how to they can get the drug or alcohol addiction help they need.<br />
<br />
This information is very important before anyone makes any kind of decision that is likely to affect the interests of the family and the addict. One of the first decisions that needs to be made is that is the person really ready to commit to going to drug rehab or are the just doing it to get others off there back.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Before everything else, the people who are close to the addict need to come together and make a decision on the best action to take according to the circumstances of the situation. If they all agree, together with the addict on the need for inpatient <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2012/12/can-inpatient-substance-abuse-treatment.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">inpatient substance abuse treatment</span> </a>the rest becomes quite easy.<br />
<br />
The next step is usually gathering relevant information and various solutions to substance abuse. Information regarding drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers can be gathered easily from various sources.<br />
Getting addiction help with information on alcohol and drug addiction rehab<br />
<br />
Doctors are the best people to approach since they work with some of the <a href="http://heroinaddictionhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-substance-abuse-treatment-centers.html"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">substance addiction treatment </span></a>organizations. They can therefore recommend some of the best centers that these people can use.<br />
In case you cannot seek a doctor, you can approach some of the Christian organizations.<br />
<br />
The pastors and religious officials in these organizations usually have some ideas on some of the local places that offer drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The good thing about approaching these people is that they can be trusted more than the ordinary people with their recommendations.<br />
<br />
Another way of getting the right information on rehabilitation centers is by asking around. Normally, rehab centers are not allowed to advertise themselves or their services. You can use the opinion of some of the people who have undergone rehabilitation to offer valuable information on the effectiveness of these rehabilitation centers. This is usually the best way to get information on rehab centers as satisfied customers give the best reviews.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">In drug an alcohol rehab medical detox is available</span></b><br />
<br />
Once you have decided on the right drug or alcohol rehab make schedule a day you can come in. Once there you will be taken to the detox ward if you are going to have to have a medical detox from some type of opiate.<br />
<br />
The staff will be there to help you 24/7 they will care for you and administer any medications you need to help you to cope with your opiate withdrawal. This process could possibly take up to one week then its on to residential treatment where you will learn some addiction recovery tools to help you to maintain sobriety when you leave drug rehab.<br />
<br />
Good luck<br />
