Drug Detox Programs, Centers and Rehabs

Detoxification is the process of safely getting drugs and alcohol out of your system and can be critical for individuals addicted to Alcohol, Opiates and Prescription Drugs. Abruptly stopping after a long period of abuse can be physically dangerous and should not be attempted without medical supervision. The consequences of drug and alcohol abuse and addiction are chronic and potentially long-term. Working under the influence of controlled substances like drugs and alcohol can cause dangers at both workplace and home by mounting the risk of accidents, impairing health and well being of the user, and diminishing efficiency.

Drug detox centers and alcohol detox programs in hospitals and residential treatment facilities often include medical support structures and the spiritual AA model. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) attempts to deal with the psychosocial and spiritual roots of alcohol and substance abuse problems without dealing with the physical component.

Such programs are carried out to assist individual in recovering and connecting with spiritual nourishment. Yoga serves the body during its detoxification process and furthermore helps to establish and maintain mental and emotional equilibrium.

Stimulants

Stimulants, a class of drugs that boost brain activity, were originally prescribed to treat Asthma and obesity. Today they are used for variety of other ailments including narcolepsy, attention deficit disorder or ADHD, and depression.
Apparently, the increasing potential for abuse and addiction has moderated the medical use of stimulants. Thus, lately stimulants are prescribed for very few treatments.

Regular intake of stimulants such as dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine) and methylphenidate (Ritalin), can lead to lethal consequences as they increase alertness, attention, and energy while increasing blood pressure, blood glucose, and heart rate and respiratory ailments.
Taking high doses of stimulants can lead to feelings of hostility or paranoia. Additionally, users may suffer from dangerously high body temperatures and an irregular heartbeat and may show compulsive disorders and physical dependence.
There is also the potential for cardiovascular failure or lethal seizures.

Stimulants should be used under a physician's supervision and patients should not mix them with over-the-counter cold medicines that contain decongestants, as this combination may cause blood pressure to become dangerously high or lead to irregular heart rhythms.
