The first step in the Berwyn 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. The reason it is so important for an individual from Berwyn, Illinois to have professional assistance during this process is because the staff at the Drug Rehabilitation or Alcohol Treatment Facility can help to alleviate many of the associated withdrawal symptoms.

Withdrawal symptoms occur during detox because the individual from Berwyn used drugs or alcohol consistently and the brain has adapted to the presence of the substance; after a period of time, an individual will have to increase the dosages in order to experience the same effects. This occurs as the individual from Berwyn develops a tolerance to alcohol or various types of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, or cocaine. Depending on the type of drug an individual from Berwyn, Illinois has been addicted to and the length of the addiction, it could be a long time before the body is able to function normally in the absence of the substance.

The way that an Alcohol Rehab or Drug Treatment Program in Berwyn, IL. addresses the psychological aspect of the drug or alcohol addiction is generally through some type of counseling or group sessions; relapse prevention is also addressed during treatment.

An individual from Berwyn, Illinois that wants to recover from a drug or alcohol addiction, will need to relearn many of the skills that came naturally to them before they started to abuse drugs or alcohol.

Individuals from Berwyn, IL. that attends treatment should be educated in drug relapse prevention techniques; they will learn how to deal with the familiar triggers that they may come into contact with upon returning home. A Drug Treatment or Alcohol Rehab Facility will teach the individual from Berwyn how to respond to these triggers without using drugs or alcohol.

Because of the way drugs and alcohol affect the various functions of the brain, most people from Berwyn, Illinois that try to stop using drugs on their own, will be fighting a losing battle.

Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Crack is a highly addictive form of cocaine that is typically smoked. The term "crack" refers to the crackling sound heard when the substance is heated, presumably from the sodium bicarbonate that is used in the production of crack.

The specific illegal drugs that had the highest levels of past year dependence or abuse in 2008 were marijuana (4.2 million), followed by pain relievers (1.7 million) and cocaine (1.4 million).

As of 1999 thirteen states had treatment admission rates for amphetamine abuse of at least 55 per 100,000, and eight of these had rates of 100 per 100,000 or more.

There was a significant decrease in current use of crack among persons aged 18 to 22 who were not full-time college students, from 0.6 percent in 2005 to 0.2 percent in 2006. The rate was unchanged among full-time college students (0.1 percent in both 2005 and 2006).

In 2008, 2.1 percent of 12 or 13 year olds and 7.6 percent of 14 or 15 year olds were current cigarette smokers. The percentage of current cigarette smokers among 16 or 17 year olds dropped from 18.9 percent in 2007 to 16.8 percent in 2008. Across age groups, current cigarette use peaked at 37.1 percent among persons aged 21 to 25 and those aged 26 to 29. About one third of 18 to 20 year olds and one third of 26 to 34 year olds (33.5 and 33.6 percent, respectively) smoked cigarettes in the past month. Less than a quarter (21.6 percent) of persons aged 35 or older in 2008 smoked cigarettes in the past month.

In 2006, rates of substance dependence or abuse for persons aged 12 or older showed evidence of differences by region, with the West (10.2 percent) and Midwest (10.0 percent) having higher rates than the South (8.5 percent) and Northeast (8.4 percent). However, rates for substance dependence or abuse among persons aged 12 or older in 2006 did not vary significantly by county type (9.4 percent in large metropolitan counties, 9.0 percent in small metropolitan counties, and 8.9 percent in nonmetropolitan counties).
