Individuals are treated for physical addiction by undergoing a detoxification program in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina to assist with the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms which result when an addict discontinues use of a substance they are addicted to. Continued use of a psychoactive substance over time causes the brain to adapt to the presence of the drug, making the desired effect minimal. Physical tolerance to drugs such as heroin, amphetamines, cocaine, nicotine and alcohol develops in this way. Over time, more and more of the addictive drug is required to get the same effect. Quitting an addictive drug abruptly causes serious withdrawal symptoms, which may take the body weeks or months to return to normal function. Withdrawing from hardcore drugs such as heroin can cause extremely severe and painful withdrawal symptoms, which can last for quite some time.

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

Abrupt interruption of chronic methamphetamine use results in the withdrawal syndrome in almost 90% of the cases. Withdrawal of amphetamine often causes a depression which is longer and deeper than even the depression from cocaine withdrawal.

Approximately 1 out of every 8 Americans is reported to be living with some form of an addiction to drugs or alcohol; this figure reports only known cases of addiction, the true figure may actually be much higher.

The rate of current illegal drug use among persons aged 12 or older in 2007 (8.0 percent) was similar to the rate in 2006 (8.3 percent).

Infections from unsterile needles are common among amphetamine users who inject the drug. Some infections are passed from user to user via shared needles.

The government has implemented strict guidelines regarding drug testing. These guidelines were developed by The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). These government agencies mandate that companies that use commercial class driver?s licenses for their employees must have a specific drug testing system in place. These requirements mandate that each drug test will be conducted for the detection of five specific groups of drugs, which are marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP.

Addiction recovery should involve understanding what caused an individual to begin using drugs or alcohol as well as finding solutions to prevent further drug or alcohol abuse in the future. Individuals attending a quality drug rehab treatment program should also learn communication skills, personal ethics, and social responsibility
