The first step in the Blackshear treatment program is the detox; this process will help to rid the body of the toxins that have accumulated during the drug or alcohol addiction.

This occurs as the individual from Blackshear develops a tolerance to alcohol or various types of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, or cocaine.

Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The most significant toxic effect of long term inhalant abuse on the body is the damage that is done to the brain and the central nervous system.

The number of persons who smoked cigarettes for the first time within the past 12 months was 2.1 million in 2004, not significantly different from the estimates in 2002 (1.9 million) or 2003 (2.0 million). About two thirds of new smokers in 2004 were under the age of 18 when they first smoked cigarettes (67.8 percent).

Xanax, like so many other pharmaceutical drugs has found its way from drug stores to drug dealers, and is being abused by individuals that just want to get high.

Marijuana use can cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty in thinking and problem solving, and problems with learning and memory.

Among people who needed but did not receive illegal drug use treatment and felt they needed treatment (based on 2004-2005 combined data), the six most often reported reasons for not receiving treatment were (a) cost or insurance barriers (36.7 percent), (b) not ready to stop using (34.7 percent), (c) stigma (24.4 percent), (d) did not feel the need for treatment at the time or could handle the problem without treatment (16.3 percent), (e) did not know where to go for treatment (16.3 percent), and (f) other access barriers (16.1 percent).

Matching drug addiction treatment settings and services to each individual's unique problems and needs is critical to their success in terms of returning to productive functioning in society. If an incorrect match is made when selecting a form of drug rehab treatment, it will decrease the individual?s chances of being successful drug recovery.
