  49. <h2>Spread Hope With Your Treatment Center Posts and Updates</h2>
  50. <p>Have you ever noticed that when you heard a particularly passionate speech or song lyrics, it made the hair stand up on the back of your neck? Or, maybe you got goosebumps after hearing a speech or something similar? If you answered yes, then you are familiar with the power of words. For those uninitiated, learning about the law of attraction and <strong>the power of positive reinforcement</strong> can manifest significant changes in your life or current situation.</p>
  51.  
  52.  
  53.  
  54. <p>Addiction recovery quotes come in all fashions &#8211; as verbal offerings from counselors &#8211; we see them online, and printed on posters throughout any addiction recovery center. As a person struggling with substances, or their loved one or concerned friend, these words can help get past the darkest days and provide comfort.</p>
  55.  
  56.  
  57.  
  58. <p>With that goal in mind, our writers and staff at Find Addiction Rehabs, many of us in recovery, have highlighted some of the most powerful inspirational recovery quotes to help give you an additional boost of positivity to keep morale high and progress being made!</p>

  70. <p>Quotes prepare ordinary people to do extraordinary things. And those battling addiction certainly have an extraordinary destiny. When the world pushes people down and they feel like the odds are stacked against them, recovery quotes can give them <strong>that additional fire needed</strong> to power through the challenges each of us faces each day, which can feel amplified for sober people, especially in the early going.</p>
  71.  
  72.  
  73.  
  74. <p>As those of us in recovery know well, regardless of past mistakes, it&#8217;s never too late to make a brand new start. Our past mistakes are relatively small matters compared to the grand scheme of things. Hardships prepare ordinary people for extraordinary endings and compelling stories, and we can motivate ourselves <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4814782/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by thinking positive affirmations</a> or envisioning success.</p>
  75. <p>The trials of active addiction can be the crucible in which we form someone to be proud of, even looked up to, by others seeking the same transformation.</p>

  81.  
  82. <p>The following quotes relate to strength when entering recovery and might be stressed &#8211; and even terrified. These can help make it over that initial hump or when they&#8217;re feeling uncertain about the future:</p>
  83.  
  84.  
  85.  
  86. <ol start="1">
  87. <li>“<strong>Courage isn’t having the strength to go on – it is going on when you don’t have strength.</strong>” –<em> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Napoleon Bonaparte</a></em></li>
  88.  
  89.  
  90.  
  91. <li><strong>“I think that the power is in the principle. The principle of moving forward, as though you have the confidence to move forward, eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you’ve done.” </strong>–<em> Robert Downey Jr.</em></li>
  92.  
  93.  
  94.  
  95. <li><strong>“One of the hardest things was learning that I was worth recovery.” </strong>– <em>Demi Lovato</em></li>
  96.  
  97.  
  98.  
  99. <li><strong>“Rising from the ashes, I am born again, powerful, exultant, majestic through all the pain.” </strong>– <em>Shannon Perry</em></li>
  100.  
  101.  
  102.  
  103. <li><strong>“Every time you hurt, you heal. After darkness, there is always light and you get reminded of this every morning but still, you choose to believe that the night will last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Not the good or the bad. So you might as well smile while you’re here.”</strong> — <em>Iain S. Thomas</em></li>
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107. <li><strong>“And so I wait. I wait for time to heal the pain and raise me to my feet once again – so that I can start a new path, my own path, the one that will make me whole again.”</strong> ― <em>Jack Canfield</em></li>
  108.  
  109.  
  110.  
  111. <li><strong>“You have the power to heal your life, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we’re not. We always have the power of our minds…Claim and consciously use your power.”</strong> ― <em>Louise L. Hay</em></li>
  112.  
  113.  
  114.  
  115. <li><strong>“Wounding and healing are not opposites. They’re part of the same thing. It is our wounds that enable us to be compassionate with the wounds of others. It is our limitations that make us kind to the limitations of other people. It is our loneliness that helps us to find other people or to even know they’re alone with an illness. I think I have served people perfectly with parts of myself I used to be ashamed of.”</strong> ― <em>Rachel Naomi Remen</em></li>

  124. <p>In the next section, we have some of the best examples of quotes for those of us in recovery who are dealing with relapse. Many people take relapse especially hard &#8211; it&#8217;s demoralizing to put in all that work, only to have your recovery delayed.</p>
  125. <p>
  126.  
  127. </p>
  128. <p>However, most would argue that <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/why-do-addicts-relapse-when-things-are-good">relapse is a part of recovery</a> and something that many in the recovering community must deal with. These testimonial-style quotes can <strong>help put things into perspective</strong> and make you feel less anxiety regarding potential slip-ups or can be shared with a loved one who is beating themselves up after picking up, no matter for how long.</p>
  129.  
  130.  
  131.  
  132. <ol start="1">
  133. <li><strong>“Don’t stay too long in the shame-filled grounds of relapse. Fertile soil awaits your return and your recovery.”</strong> ― <em>Holli Kenley</em>, <strong><em>Mountain Air: Relapsing and Finding the Way Back… One Breath at a Time</em></strong></li>
  134.  
  135.  
  136.  
  137. <li><strong>“Cause sometimes you just feel tired. Feel weak, and when you feel weak, you feel like you wanna just give up. But you gotta search within you. You gotta find that inner strength. And just pull it out of you, and get that motivation to not give up, and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face.”</strong> – <em>Eminem</em></li>
  138.  
  139.  
  140.  
  141. <li><strong>“If it wasn’t for that rehab center, I probably wouldn’t have been here. In terms of recovery, it has been very important for me to be a part of a recovery community, to actively be around my people because they understand me. They get it.”</strong> – <em>Macklemore</em></li>
  142.  
  143.  
  144.  
  145. <li><strong>“Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.”<em> &#8211; </em></strong><em>Steve Adler</em></li>

  150.  
  151.  
  152.  
  153. <li><strong>&#8220;If we read books all the time we would be very unhealthy, as we would not get any fresh air, exercise, or contact with nature. Also we would not spend time with other people. There are a lot of plusses to reading &#8211; it&#8217;s an interactive brain workout &#8211; but like everything else that&#8217;s beneficial in moderation, overdoses can be dangerous.&#8221; &#8211; </strong><em>Margaret Atwood</em></li>

  162. <p>In this section, we will take a look at a few more miscellaneous quotes about recovery that are hard to fit into any single category before getting into some tips for the best mediums for motivation. Note that these are words from writers past and present, and there are a ton of other writers and authors in recovery to draw inspiration from, <a href="https://twitter.com/annelamott?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">such as Anne Lamott</a> and many more.</p>

  165.  
  166.  
  167.  
  168. <ol start="7">
  169. <li><strong>“Addiction is just a way of trying to get at something else. Something bigger. Call it transcendence if you want, but it’s like a rat in a maze. We all want the same thing. We all have this hole. The thing you want offers relief, but it’s a trap.” </strong>– <em>Tess Callahan</em></li>
  170.  
  171.  
  172.  
  173. <li><strong>“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” </strong>–<em> Ralph Waldo Emerson</em></li>
  174.  
  175.  
  176.  
  177. <li><strong>“Addictions … started out like magical pets, pocket monsters. They did extraordinary tricks, show you things you hadn’t seen, and were fun. But came, through some gradual dire alchemy, to make decisions for you. Eventually, they were making your most crucial life decisions. And they were … less intelligent than goldfish.”</strong> – <em>William Gibson</em></li>
  178.  
  179.  
  180.  
  181. <li><strong>“Sometimes, we motivate ourselves by thinking of what we want to become. Sometimes we motivate ourselves by thinking about who we don’t ever want to be again.” </strong>– <em>Shane Niemeyer</em></li>

  186. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Getting Motivated: Beyond Inspirational Quotes</h2>
  187.  
  188.  
  189.  
  190. <p>What are some other mediums to use for sharing motivation other than quotes? Using social media accounts of those living a life of sobriety can be a great way to get support and inspirational ideas, as well as to <strong>put yourself out there to help others</strong> who may be struggling. In many cases, the act of &#8216;getting out of your head&#8217; and helping someone else can make us forget the worries of our own we have been preoccupied with.</p>
  191.  
  192.  
  193.  
  194. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Using the Power of Social Media</h3>
  195.  
  196.  
  197.  
  198. <p>Social media can be an excellent way of spreading motivation throughout the recovery community. You can easily leverage platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and even Pinterest &#8211; all in unique ways &#8211; both to get support and to share your positivity (or struggles) with the right people.</p>
  199.  
  200.  
  201.  
  202. <ul>
  203. <li><strong>Facebook:</strong> Create a Facebook group for those in recovery. Share your favorite motivational quotes by turning them into graphics using Canva or a similar program and encourage other members to do the same. Turn it into a haven for those in recovery to use when they need to vent and look for advice.</li>
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. <li><strong>Instagram:</strong> Use Instagram reels to put together photo collections with the same Canva graphics from Facebook. Share your victories and setbacks, and get reminders whenever you check out your account of just how far you have come!</li>
  208.  
  209.  
  210.  
  211. <li><strong>TikTok:</strong> TikTok is an extremely powerful platform that draws billions of users daily. It also has a large demographic that is increasingly aware and savvy about things like mental health and addiction. With that said, be careful of the more fringe mental illness perspectives, and always bounce them off others before you begin to adopt them in your own life.</li>
  212.  
  213.  
  214.  
  215. <li><strong>Pinterest:</strong> Create boards and Pin stuff from other users that share the same theme and messages about recovery and living sober. This will quickly garner you followers and ensure your work gets noticed regularly and shared with others in the recovery community.</li>

  226.  
  227.  
  228. <p>It&#8217;s important to remember that recovery is a process. Will you always feel 100% fired up and ready to attack the day? Absolutely not &#8211; and it&#8217;s important to keep that in mind. Having urges to use is natural. But the best part is &#8211; you do not have to act on those urges. And each day, as you remain away from drinking and drugs, you are building strength and reserves (recovery capital some call it) to call upon the next occasion when things get hard.</p>
  229.  
  230.  
  231.  
  232. <p>At Find Addiction Rehabs, we understand more than most that recovery is not a linear trajectory, it has ups and downs, triumphs and setbacks. If you or someone you love needs more than inspirational quotes and would like a referral to proven detox and treatment programs across the country, please do not hesitate to reach out. </p>
  233. <p>Our caring team is standing by, ready to discuss options and get you or your loved one support, with same-day placement possible! </p>

  252. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding an Emerging Role in Behavioral Healthcare</h2>
  253.  
  254.  
  255.  
  256. <p>Over the last year or two, you&#8217;ve likely heard of the term &#8220;harm reduction.&#8221; As the fentanyl epidemic and methamphetamine use continue to grow to disastrous levels, changes had to be made based on the realization that America lost the War On Drugs.</p>
  257.  
  258.  
  259.  
  260. <p>It is nearly impossible to force a population not to engage in the use of psychoactive substances, the next best thing is to provide them with education, awareness, and safe mechanisms and environments to use their drug of choice. These specialists take on the responsibility of ensuring individuals in the community still struggling with substance abuse have a safe haven and are treated with a certain level of dignity by the authorities and other residents.</p>
  261.  
  262.  
  263.  
  264. <p>With this new blog resource, Find Addiction Rehabs will explore the education and outreach efforts undertaken by harm reduction specialists, the counseling and support they provide, and their role in distributing essential harm reduction supplies like naloxone.</p>
  265.  
  266.  
  267.  
  268. <p>You&#8217;ll not only learn the intricacies of the work delivered from this fledgling position within the addiction counseling space but also how Find Addiction Rehabs can help you find proven treatment programs if you or a loved one have decided that harm reduction alone is not enough!</p>
  269.  
  270.  
  271.  
  272. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is the Harm Reduction Framework?</h2>
  273.  
  274.  
  275.  
  276. <p>If you haven&#8217;t been up to speed or had your fingers on the pulse of the fentanyl epidemic &#8211; more specifically since President Biden took office &#8211; <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/harm-reduction" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">harm reduction services</a> have gained traction as a form of preventative maintenance/soft intervention. In this approach to recovery, this method uses a more merciful approach to shine a light on substance use challenges and other dangerous conduct taken by those in the grips of addiction.</p>
  277.  
  278.  
  279.  
  280. <p>As always, the issue is a complex one, with multiple variables and a great deal of effort going into deploying a harm reduction program from those tasked with the deed. That said, despite the fact the role is still in its infancy, it&#8217;s emerged as a vital position that must be met with a formidable plan and a true passion for helping those not only seeking recovery but those who are still in the worst part of addiction.</p>
  281.  
  282.  
  283.  
  284. <p>This is truly a &#8220;boots on the ground&#8221; position in the battle for recovery, and it takes a proverbial rolling up of the sleeves to dive headfirst into the community and engage with those who require these services the most.</p>

  292. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25228" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-concept-pic.webp" alt="A man on a park bench looks at drugs as a concept pic for harm reduction efforts" width="860" height="500" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-concept-pic.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-concept-pic-300x174.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-concept-pic-768x447.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></figure>
  293.  
  294.  
  295.  
  296. <p><strong>The harm reduction</strong> <strong>framework</strong> entails a philosophy and approach rooted in the belief that individuals engaging in risky behaviors, such as substance misuse or unsafe sexual practices, deserve the same respect, privacy, and access to top-notch care as the rest of society.</p>
  297.  
  298.  
  299.  
  300. <p>Its primary drive serves to eliminate much of the <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/its-time-to-end-the-stigma-of-addiction-through-educating-the-public">negative stigma involved with addiction</a>, hopefully preventing those who fall into the trap of addiction from being cast in such a negative public light.</p>
  301.  
  302.  
  303.  
  304. <p>It is important that everyone involved in addiction treatment does their utmost to combat this damaging stigma.</p>
  305.  
  306.  
  307.  
  308. <p>Too many times in today&#8217;s world we see those suffering from addiction being cast down as deplorable or less desirable than the average citizen &#8211; one could argue that this type of behavior just serves to drive one further into addiction &#8211; and further into the darkness and isolation that prevents someone from experiencing recovery.</p>
  309.  
  310.  
  311.  
  312. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">What are Harm Reduction Strategies?</h3>
  313.  
  314.  
  315.  
  316. <p>At the most basic, these reduction strategies exist to provide a resource that allows current users to prevent themselves from being further injured, sickened, or even worse, to overdose, as a result of their active drug use.</p>
  317.  
  318.  
  319.  
  320. <p>It&#8217;s worth noting that <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/harm-reduction-recovery-model">harm reduction models</a> do not necessarily advocate complete abstinence, as the core message is about reducing the harm that&#8217;s possible from being sustained by an active user. This could include several different hazards the average drug user puts themselves at risk of:</p>
  321.  
  322.  
  323.  
  324. <ul>
  325. <li style="list-style-type: none;">
  326. <ul>
  327. <li>The potential of contracting HIV</li>
  328. </ul>
  329. </li>
  330. </ul>
  331.  
  332.  
  333.  
  334. <ul>
  335. <li style="list-style-type: none;">
  336. <ul>
  337. <li>High risk of Hepatitis C and other bloodborne illness</li>
  338. </ul>
  339. </li>
  340. </ul>
  341.  
  342.  
  343.  
  344. <ul>
  345. <li style="list-style-type: none;">
  346. <ul>
  347. <li>The increased risk of contracting infection for IV users</li>
  348. </ul>
  349. </li>
  350. </ul>
  351.  
  352.  
  353.  
  354. <ul>
  355. <li style="list-style-type: none;">
  356. <ul>
  357. <li>The high risk of experiencing an overdose</li>
  358. </ul>
  359. </li>
  360. </ul>
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. <p>Understanding the preventative action these programs take of helping to avoid the spread of disease and <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/prepare-for-fatal-overdose-loved-one">the risk of overdose</a>, it&#8217;s worth stating that in no way is this a green light to continue using. Unfortunately, this is an argument that many opponents to these programs pose, which we&#8217;ll cover in a later section.</p>
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. <p>These arguments are baseless for the most part, as initial feedback and analysis tend to be positive regarding the results of the deployment of harm reduction and <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/safe-injection-sites">safe injection sites</a> in multiple cities.</p>
  369.  
  370. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Role of a Harm Reduction Specialist</strong></h2>
  371.  
  372.  
  373.  
  374. <p>The role of a harm reduction specialist, as we stated earlier, is a boots-on-the-ground, take-charge position that requires the support of the community and treatment facility backing the specialist. Looking at the scope of work required of those filling this role, it becomes apparent how demanding the duties of a harm reduction specialist truly are.</p>
  375.  
  376.  
  377.  
  378. <p>The position goes far beyond the confines of <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/which-states-sell-narcan-over-the-counter">simply distributing naloxone</a> and safe use utensils (syringes, etc.). Those who fill the role to its full extent are physically pounding the pavement and putting their ears to the street.</p>
  379.  
  380.  
  381.  
  382. <p>On a daily basis they&#8217;re educating those in the local community regarding the dangers of addiction but also conveying the compassionate message that says, &#8220;Someone is here for you &#8211; someone still cares.&#8221;</p>
  383.  
  384.  
  385.  
  386. <p>Reducing the harm of substance abuse may not get someone clean today, but in two, three, or four years &#8211; hopefully, there will be a string of success stories saying, &#8220;My first step towards recovery was my harm reduction worker who was there for me when nobody else was.&#8221;</p>
  387.  
  388.  
  389.  
  390. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Logic Behind the Harm Reduction Model</h3>
  391.  
  392.  
  393.  
  394. <p>As stated earlier, on the surface it seems these programs are solely about preventing physical issues. However, harm reduction strategies go much deeper than avoiding acute life-threatening infections and HIV.</p>
  395.  
  396.  
  397.  
  398. <p>Consider the following results and support services that go along with preventing drug-related deaths:</p>
  399.  
  400.  
  401.  
  402. <ul>
  403. <li>These programs give into the fact that there&#8217;s a significant substance abuse issue. It places emphasis on the fact that people who use drugs may not necessarily quit today. However, it&#8217;s the specialist&#8217;s job to convey the message that instead of looking down on people who use drugs, offer them a safer and practical way to engage in the most significant substance use &#8211; with hopes in the end, a more compassionate method will drive a happier ending than approaching from a platform of negativity or punishment.</li>
  404.  
  405.  
  406.  
  407. <li>Another major contribution of harm reduction workers is the respect they garner from the local community. They demand a certain level of respect from those on the outside looking in. By demanding this common decency, it humanizes the drug user, manifesting positive results from interaction with the public rather than negative.</li>
  408.  
  409.  
  410.  
  411. <li>Finally, the harm reduction model uses compassion and understanding to avoid judgemental frames of mind. Harm reduction approaches garner a far more successful first approach to intervention by establishing a rapport of trust and respect from the beginning.</li>
  412. </ul>
  413.  
  414.  
  415.  
  416. <p>Understanding these core elements demonstrates the huge role harm reduction plays, and can continue to play as it rolls out into new areas as time goes on.</p>
  417.  
  418.  
  419.  
  420. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Duties of a Harm Reduction Specialist</strong></h2>
  421.  
  422.  
  423.  
  424. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25229" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/female-harm-reduction-specialist.webp" alt="A female harm reduction specialist treats a client in NYC" width="860" height="500" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/female-harm-reduction-specialist.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/female-harm-reduction-specialist-300x174.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/female-harm-reduction-specialist-768x447.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></figure>
  425.  
  426.  
  427.  
  428. <p>So what exactly does the day-to-day look like for a harm reduction specialist? Let&#8217;s define their obligations and the most important duties in case you or a loved one are in need of their services, or considering becoming a specialist yourself.</p>
  429.  
  430.  
  431.  
  432. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Education and Raising Community Awareness</h3>
  433.  
  434.  
  435.  
  436. <p>The education and outreach efforts deployed by harm reduction specialists don&#8217;t just include practices for the user, but also training those close to them on the use of overdose medications like Naloxone and what to look for in the event of an overdose.</p>
  437.  
  438.  
  439.  
  440. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mental and Emotional Support for Substance Users</h3>
  441.  
  442.  
  443.  
  444. <p>Non-judgemental support goes a long way toward the emotional healing of those who are actively using drugs. Rarely can someone with an addiction talk openly or freely with family and friends about the struggles they face daily without being judged.</p>
  445.  
  446.  
  447.  
  448. <p>Having someone you can rely on for emotional support goes a long way when you&#8217;re struggling to cope with the perils that afflict those with substance abuse challenges.</p>
  449.  
  450.  
  451.  
  452. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Distribute Needed Risk Reduction Materials</h3>
  453.  
  454.  
  455.  
  456. <p>The most common items needed in the community for those using include:</p>
  457.  
  458.  
  459.  
  460. <ul>
  461. <li>Naloxone</li>
  462.  
  463.  
  464.  
  465. <li>The proper tools for safe injection</li>
  466.  
  467.  
  468.  
  469. <li>Tools used for engaging in other drug use (methamphetamine, cocaine)</li>
  470.  
  471.  
  472.  
  473. <li>Condoms</li>
  474.  
  475.  
  476.  
  477. <li>Alcohol pads</li>
  478. </ul>
  479.  
  480.  
  481.  
  482. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Assistance with Paperwork and Resources</h3>
  483.  
  484.  
  485.  
  486. <p>Many times those with an active substance use disorder just don&#8217;t have the literature they need or other resources needed for help. This can be something as simple as a brochure with a list of counseling services, or a pamphlet <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/rehab-that-accepts-medi-cal">outlining the steps to obtain Medicaid</a>.</p>
  487.  
  488.  
  489.  
  490. <p>Items like this that we would often overlook can go a long way in changing the life of someone who struggles with an addiction.</p>
  491.  
  492.  
  493.  
  494. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Does Harm Reduction Matter for Our Communities?</h2>
  495.  
  496.  
  497.  
  498. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25230" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-movement-symbol.webp" alt="Clasped hands in gloves show the concept of the harm reduction movement" width="860" height="500" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-movement-symbol.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-movement-symbol-300x174.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/harm-reduction-movement-symbol-768x447.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></figure>
  499.  
  500.  
  501.  
  502. <p>Although the harm reduction movement has undoubtedly grown traction, facilities in the behavioral healthcare space may remain unaware of its importance and connection to their efforts.</p>
  503.  
  504.  
  505.  
  506. <p>With the rise of fentanyl, in many ways, the war on drugs has morphed into the battle for overdose prevention. That&#8217;s how rapidly lives are lost daily as a result of a lack of awareness and a lack of an addict&#8217;s resources to reduce harm.</p>
  507.  
  508.  
  509.  
  510. <p>Much like with recovery community organizations, maintaining connections to those involved in helping those actively using can pay dividends in many ways for your treatment centers.</p>
  511.  
  512.  
  513.  
  514. <p>From promoting messages about the effectiveness of choosing recovery to holding out a lifeline to those struggling with active addiction every day, understanding and supporting your local harm reduction specialist can be a mutually beneficial way of promoting recovery.</p>

  543. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Using Health Insurance for Rehab After a Relapse</h2>
  544. <p>Ever found yourself stuck in the revolving door of rehab treatments, your heart sinking as you wonder, <strong>&#8220;How many times will insurance pay for rehab treatment?&#8221;</strong></p>
  545. <p>You&#8217;re not alone.</p>
  546. <p>Navigating the labyrinth of health insurance coverage can feel like playing a high-stakes game without knowing all the rules. Wrong move and you&#8217;re back to the beginning.</p>
  547. <p>This post is here to shed light on that murky path. We&#8217;ll dissect how different types of rehabs impact coverage, explore key factors influencing what insurers shell out for your recovery journey, and even offer strategies to leverage multiple rounds of treatment under one plan.</p>
  548. <p>Stick with us as we unravel this tangled web together &#8211; because no one should have to battle addiction or mental health problems while wrestling with their insurance policy too!</p>
  549. <h2>Understanding Insurance Coverage for Rehab Treatment</h2>
  550. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24715" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment.webp" alt="Insurance Coverage for Rehab Treatment" width="860" height="501" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment-300x175.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment-768x447.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  551. <p>The struggle with drug or alcohol addiction is real and often, treatment can seem out of reach. Despite the fact that 22.7 million people need help for a substance abuse problem each year, an alarming 89% of them never receive it. One reason? The cost.</p>
  552. <p><strong>So what does your insurance cover?</strong></p>
  553. <p>This question could be your first step towards recovery as many health insurance providers do cover at least some part of rehab costs.</p>
  554. <h3>The Basics: What Your Health Insurance Provider Covers</h3>
  555. <p>Your insurance plan may just surprise you. Whether you&#8217;re looking into outpatient services or thinking about inpatient programs, most plans have something to offer.</p>
  556. <ul>
  557. <li>Inpatient rehab involves staying at the treatment center while receiving care &#8211; from detoxification to counseling sessions.</li>
  558. <li>An outpatient program lets you live at home but requires regular visits to the treatment center for therapy sessions.</li>
  559. </ul>
  560. <p>No matter which path fits best with your lifestyle and needs, there&#8217;s good news. Many <a href="https://www.cms.gov/cciio/programs-and-initiatives/other-insurance-protections/mhpaea_factsheet.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">health insurance providers are required by law under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA)</a> to provide coverage for both types of treatments when prescribed by a professional.</p>
  561. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;"><span class="h3">Up to 100% of Costs Covered by Insurance – Get Help Now!</span></span><br />

  563. <h3>A Closer Look: Specifics on How Insurance Plans Cover Rehab Costs</h3>
  564. <p>If we dive deeper into this topic we will soon see &#8211; not all insurances were created equal.</p>
  565. <ul>
  566. <li>Mental health services related to addiction like group counseling or psychotherapy might also be covered fully or partially depending on your plan.</li>
  567. <li>Insurance policies may provide coverage for detoxification, medications, and counseling sessions depending on the degree of addiction or any accompanying psychological health issues.</li>
  568. </ul>
  569. <p>Simply put, your insurance is as one-of-a-kind as you. Want to know what&#8217;s included?</p>

  571. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  572. <p>Tackling addiction might seem overwhelming, particularly when you&#8217;re uncertain about the expenses. The extent of help depends on your plan—it could range from detox to therapy sessions. So don&#8217;t let financial concerns stop you, reach out to Find Addiction Rehabs and get the details of your coverage now!</p></blockquote>
  573. <h2>The Impact of Different Types of Rehab on Insurance Coverage</h2>
  574. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24711" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Inpatient-Rehab-Treatment.webp" alt="Inpatient Rehab Treatment" width="860" height="507" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Inpatient-Rehab-Treatment.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Inpatient-Rehab-Treatment-300x177.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Inpatient-Rehab-Treatment-768x453.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  575. <p>Rehab treatments come in various shapes and sizes, from intensive outpatient programs to residential rehabs.</p>
  576. <p>The coverage for these treatments depends on the insurance plan you hold.</p>
  577. <h3>Delving into Inpatient Rehab Treatment</h3>
  578. <p>Inpatient rehab treatment is an immersive program where patients live at the recovery center. This format often leads to higher costs due to its comprehensive nature including accommodation, meals, and round-the-clock care. So does insurance cover this?</p>
  579. <p>A glance at data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (<a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/NSDUHresultsPDFWHTML2013/Web/NSDUHresults2013.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAMHSA</a>), reveals that many health insurance providers offer some level of coverage for inpatient rehab services.</p>
  580. <p>Some plans may cover substance abuse treatment to a greater degree, while others provide limited coverage. It&#8217;s also important to note that high-end luxury centers might be outside the scope of what your plan covers despite offering more amenities and comforts.</p>
  581. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;"><span class="h3">24 Hour Detox and Rehab Help – Reach Out Now!</span></span><br />

  584. <p>Moving onto outpatient programs which allow individuals to stay home during their treatment period, typically while visiting the treatment center a few times per week.</p>
  585. <p>This type tends to be more affordable as compared to inpatient programs because it eliminates expenses related to living on-site such as food or lodging costs.</p>
  586. <p>Yet again, though, how much help your insurer provides can vary widely based on specific policies they have set forth within each unique contract signed by both parties involved: patient &amp; provider alike.</p>
  587. <h4>Coverage for Intensive Outpatient Programs</h4>
  588. <p>If you&#8217;re considering an intensive outpatient program, these often fall somewhere between traditional outpatient and inpatient services. They demand more hours per week but let patients stay at home.</p>
  589. <p><a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/best-insurance-for-drug-rehab">Insurance coverage</a> for this type of treatment is usually more favorable due to the higher intensity level compared to regular outpatient programs while still being less expensive than full residential care.</p>
  590. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  591. <p>Your choice of rehab treatment affects how much your insurance covers. Inpatient treatment, a full-time program that includes housing and 24/7 care, usually gets some coverage from health insurers—though it depends on the plan.</p>
  592. <p>An outpatient treatment program is often cheaper and lets you stay at home during treatment; they also get different levels of help from insurers based on your policy specifics. Intensive outpatient programs typically receive mixed coverage based on the treatment provider and the insurance company.</p></blockquote>
  593. <h2>Factors Influencing Insurance Coverage for Rehab Treatments</h2>
  594. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24712" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Influencing-Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment.webp" alt="Influencing Insurance Coverage for Rehab Treatment" width="860" height="502" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Influencing-Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Influencing-Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment-300x175.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Influencing-Insurance-Coverage-for-Rehab-Treatment-768x448.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  595. <p>The landscape of <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/does-insurance-pay-for-rehab">insurance coverage for rehab treatments</a> is vast and complex. It&#8217;s like trying to navigate a ship through a storm without a compass &#8211; it can feel overwhelming, but we&#8217;re here to give you that much-needed direction.</p>
  596. <h3>Decoding Insurance Coverage Requirements</h3>
  597. <p>To start off, let&#8217;s decode the mysterious language of insurance policies. Every plan has its own particular regulations and directions in terms of covering substance misuse treatment choices. It&#8217;s kind of like ordering at your favorite restaurant: You know what you want (treatment), but will your wallet (insurance) cover the bill?</p>
  598. <p>Different plans have different definitions of &#8216;necessary&#8217; mental health services. This means while some may cover outpatient programs or intensive inpatient residential treatments fully, others might only pay part or none at all.</p>
  599. <p>Your best bet? Get acquainted with your policy inside out before deciding on any particular treatment center or program – just as you&#8217;d scrutinize an apartment lease before signing on the dotted line.</p>

  603. <h3>Type Of Addiction and Treatment Needed</h3>
  604. <p>Moving forward, let’s understand that not every addiction problem fits into one box; they are as diverse as our individual personalities. Consequently, whether alcohol detox needs are covered by your insurance private provider depends heavily upon their specific criteria &#8211; and your health history, as well as many other factors.</p>
  605. <p>Think about it this way &#8211; imagine going shoe shopping but having someone else pick out the shoes based on their taste instead of yours. That is what you get, when you call individual facilities, one by one.</p>
  606. <p>Instead, let us offer an array of facilities and you choose the best option for your needs. Here are some of the questions we can answer for you:</p>
  607. <ul>
  608. <li>If diagnosed with drug addiction which requires inpatient rehab versus outpatient treatment programs- does my plan cover these differently?</li>
  609. <li>Does my insurance cover rehab for substance abuse only or does it extend to mental health services too?</li>
  610. <li>How many times will insurance pay for repeated treatments if needed? This can be a significant factor in planning your recovery journey.</li>
  611. </ul>
  612. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  613. <p>Insurance coverage for rehab treatments can feel like a maze, but understanding your policy is key. Coverage varies by plan and depends on factors such as the type of addiction and treatment needed. So, make sure you know your policy inside out &#8211; it&#8217;s crucial in planning your recovery journey.</p></blockquote>
  614. <h2>Navigating Multiple Rehab Treatments with Insurance</h2>
  615. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24713" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rehab-Treatments-with-Insurance.webp" alt="Rehab Treatments with Insurance" width="860" height="503" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rehab-Treatments-with-Insurance.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rehab-Treatments-with-Insurance-300x175.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Rehab-Treatments-with-Insurance-768x449.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  616. <p>Multiple rehab treatments can be a part of the journey to recovery. The key is knowing how your insurance plan plays into this process.</p>
  617. <p>When seeking addiction treatment following a relapse, the services of Find Addiction Rehabs can help you locate facilities with proven track records in treating clients who have histories featuring chronic relapse. Many of these same clients are in long-term recovery to this day.</p>
  618. <h3>Strategies to Leverage Insurance Coverage</h3>
  619. <p>Your health insurance coverage can be a significant ally in your fight against addiction. But, understanding it fully and leveraging its benefits during repeated rehabilitation treatments may feel like walking through a maze.</p>
  620. <p>The first step? Get familiar with your policy&#8217;s provisions for multiple rehabilitation treatments. Better yet, let us help. This will let you understand how many times will insurance pay for the rehab treatment, among other crucial concerns.</p>
  621. <p>Keep in mind that every plan differs, so let us dig deep into those policy details and provide rehab facilities that offer both value and reliable services.</p>
  622. <h3>Dealing With Limitations and Navigating Through Them</h3>
  623. <p>All too often, we encounter limitations when dealing with health insurance providers; perhaps they cover only specific drug rehab centers or offer payment plans up to certain limits only. Don’t get disheartened if you face something similar—it doesn&#8217;t mean end-of-the-road.</p>
  624. <p>An effective way to overcome some constraints might be to look at treatment centers that offer sliding scale fees or flexible payment options. These can make up for areas where your insurance falls short, and they’re surprisingly common.</p>
  625. <p>Another useful strategy is appealing denied claims if you feel the decision was unfair. You have the right to dispute it, so don&#8217;t be hesitant to take this route.</p>
  626. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  627. <p>Understanding your insurance plan is crucial in your recovery journey. Get familiar with its provisions for multiple rehab treatments to know how many times it&#8217;ll cover the costs. If you hit limitations, explore options like sliding scale fees at treatment centers or appealing denied claims.</p>

  631. <h2 class="serp-title">Costs and Coverage: How Many Times Will Insurance Pay for Rehab?</h2>
  632. <p>When it comes to <strong>addiction treatment</strong>, understanding your insurance coverage is critical. But let&#8217;s be real, dealing with health insurance can feel like navigating a maze while blindfolded.</p>
  633. <p>The cost of substance abuse racks up quickly, and not just for the individual. We&#8217;re talking about lost income and associated health problems too.</p>
  634. <p>The financial burden might seem daunting at first but remember this &#8211; you&#8217;re investing in yourself, your future.</p>
  635. <h3>Understanding the Costs of Rehab Treatment</h3>
  636. <p>Different types of treatments come with different price tags; everything from free programs offered by non-profit centers to luxury centers that could set you back $80k a month. So how does one decide?</p>
  637. <p>Your <a href="https://www.cms.gov/cciio/programs-and-initiatives/other-insurance-protections/mhpaea_factsheet.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insurance plan</a> will play an essential role here as it determines what kind of treatments are covered or partially covered under its umbrella.</p>
  638. <h3>Navigating Insurance Policies: What&#8217;s Covered?</h3>
  639. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24714" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Mental-Health-Services.webp" alt="Mental Health Services" width="860" height="491" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Mental-Health-Services.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Mental-Health-Services-300x171.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Mental-Health-Services-768x438.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  640. <p>You&#8217;d think after all those monthly payments, they&#8217;d cover anything you need, right? Unfortunately, no two plans are alike when it comes to rehab insurance covers.</p>
  641. <p>In general terms though &#8211; private insurance tends to offer more options (albeit at a higher cost) whereas policies under the <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/marketplace-aca-for-addiction-treatment">Affordable Care Act</a> (otherwise known as Obamacare) consider addiction treatment an essential health benefit – which means they have some level of coverage required by law.</p>
  642. <h3>Policies Covering Different Health Problems</h3>
  643. <ul>
  644. <li><strong>Mental Health:</strong> Many policies cover mental health services, recognizing that mental health is an integral part of addiction recovery.</li>
  645. <li><strong>Substance Abuse:</strong> A good number of insurance companies have come to understand that substance abuse treatment isn&#8217;t just a whim but a necessity. They cover detox, inpatient and outpatient programs &#8211; both intensive and regular.</li>
  646. </ul>
  647. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;"><span class="h3">Get Proven Recovery Center Options Nationwide – Call Now!</span></span><br />

  673. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Beyond Fentanyl: The Rise of Frankenstein Opioids</h2>
  674. <p>Since the mass distribution and spread of heroin in the United States &#8211; or any drug for that matter &#8211; users have always remained vigilant regarding what their drug of choice might be adulterated with. A minor issue decades ago, this growing problem has stretched to epic proportions, becoming almost epidemic within an epidemic.</p>
  675. <p>In fact, the current fentanyl epidemic began as an adulteration issue for the heroin supply. Growing numbers of large heroin batches began testing positive for fentanyl in the mid-2000s, which eventually gave way to our current situation &#8211; an almost complete takeover of the natural heroin supply by its synthetic counterpart, along with record numbers of deaths by overdose.</p>
  676. <p>Currently, substances known as Nitazene drugs &#8211; <strong>from the family of synthetic opioids</strong>, have made their way into the American heroin and fentanyl supply. However, this is no research chemical or designer drug &#8211; in fact, it&#8217;s been around for decades but never considered on the recreational drug market.</p>
  677. <p>If you or someone you love is abusing a natural opioid or synthetic opioid, you owe it to them or yourself to be aware of this deadly drug causing overdose deaths to swell even further.</p>
  678. <p>Keep reading, and please reach out for proven treatment options nationwide if opioid use has become a part of your life or that of a loved one. The risks grow greater each day, so stay informed!</p>
  679. <h2>What Is Nitazene and How Does It Work?</h2>
  680. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25182" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/What-Is-Nitazene.webp" alt="What Is Nitazene" width="860" height="490" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/What-Is-Nitazene.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/What-Is-Nitazene-300x171.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/What-Is-Nitazene-768x438.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  681. <p>As we speak, newer, and deadlier, research chemicals are now making their way into the fentanyl supply. A half-decade ago, <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/heroin-fentanyl-carfentanil">whispers of Carfentanil</a>, a substance that falls under the class of synthetic opioids, began surfacing in the drug supply. This was alarming, considering the potency of this synthetic opioid was <strong>far greater than fentanyl</strong>.</p>
  682. <p>Nitazene, a powerful lab-made drug, joins fentanyl in the category of synthetic opioids and now sits beside the drug as one of the leading causes of overdose deaths. It acts in a similar fashion as other synthetic opioids, as it increases the amount of dopamine released by the brain. This leads to the same high that keeps users coming back again and again &#8211; only far more potent.</p>
  683. <h3>The Origins of Nitazene</h3>
  684. <p>So what makes Nitazene so dangerous? And where did this not-so-new drug come from?</p>
  685. <p>Nitazenes are actually a group of synthetic compounds created in 1957 with the goal of administration as an analgesic. However, because of its extreme potency (1,000s of times more powerful than morphine), and the risk of causing dependence and other dangerous effects, it was never branded or sold commercially.</p>
  686. <p>Because of the intensity and strength of nitazenes, they were often likened to fentanyl. However, because they are completely different structurally than fentanyl and other drugs like morphine and the fentanyl analog meperidine, the medical and science world maintained an interest in them for the purpose of researching opioid mechanisms.</p>
  687. <p>Over the last few years, analog versions of nitazenes have begun emerging in the European and American drug markets, often as an adulterant in large batches of heroin and fentanyl. The most common of these analogs is <strong>known as isotonitazene</strong>, otherwise <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/iso-drug">known as ISO or TONY</a>.</p>
  688. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;">Get Help for Synthetic Opioids – Call Us 24/7</span><br />

  690. <h3>First Appearance in America</h3>
  691. <p>Nitazenes are <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/fentapills">formulated into fake pills</a>, distributed as powders, and even liquids &#8211; and most often combined with fentanyl and benzos. The most dangerous element of this drug is the fact that 99% of the time, the user has no idea these drugs are mixed in with what they&#8217;re ingesting.</p>
  692. <p>There is no known drug test for nitazenes, making them nearly possible to detect in urinalysis or even drug test kits sold for the purpose of user safety. The first <strong>mass emergency</strong> involving nitazene took place in Knoxville, TN, in 2021.</p>
  693. <p>Out of 218 overdose deaths, 26 of those victims had metonitazene in their systems &#8211; <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/08/18/2023-17778/schedules-of-controlled-substances-placement-of-metonitazene-in-schedule-i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another analog</a>. In every case, the drug was combined with fentanyl.</p>
  694. <h2>The Risk of Ingesting Nitazene</h2>
  695. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25183" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mental-Health-Disorder.webp" alt="Risk of Ingesting Nitazene" width="860" height="496" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mental-Health-Disorder.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mental-Health-Disorder-300x173.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mental-Health-Disorder-768x443.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  696. <p>Several dangers exist for those who unknowingly ingest nitazene or any of its analogs. The most commonly associated dangers include:</p>
  697. <ul>
  698. <li>Rapid onset of physical and psychological addiction. Nitazene causes the user to develop a tolerance much faster than other synthetic painkillers.</li>
  699. <li>The overdose risk is extremely high. Ingesting even the most minute amounts of nitazene causes respiratory depression, and death, if not treated.</li>
  700. <li>The potential for long-term damage is thought to exist in the form of liver damage, heart issues, and even mental health disorders &#8211; although no official study has taken place to confirm the levels of severity.</li>
  701. </ul>
  702. <p>Perhaps even more concerning is the fact that multiple doses of Naloxone have been required to revive those overdoses at the hands of these compounds. And even when Narcan is administered, a breathing tube (or intubation) also has to be given.</p>
  703. <p>The risk of overdoses is therefore exponentially greater than with heroin and even fentanyl. Truly frightening to consider what would happen if (and perhaps when) these drugs become more widespread in the US.</p>
  704. <h2>A Growing Concern: Even More Lethal Opioids</h2>
  705. <p>it seems like it was yesterday that America had just discovered the infusion of fentanyl into the heroin supply &#8211; and most recently a huge climb in the number of overdose deaths from counterfeit pills.</p>
  706. <p>However, as tolerance increases and the hunger for larger profits prevails, the adulterant is becoming adulterated &#8211; with all new analogs and research chemicals that science and the medical industry know very little (and sometimes nothing) about.</p>
  707. <p>The number of cases involving nitazene is increasing rapidly, with more widespread use being reported. This presents a significant challenge to healthcare workers, physicians, and even substance abuse counselors, all of whom know next to nothing about the drug.</p>
  708. <p>Let&#8217;s assume even if we were aware of what batches of drugs contained nitazene, this would do very little to quell the risk factors associated with ingestion. As each new analog drug like nitazene makes its way onto the market and into the drug supply, a new challenge is presented that requires emergency workers to study a new chemical, with new risks, and how to offset those risks and prevent more overdose deaths.</p>
  709. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;">24 Hour Drug Detox and Rehab Helpline &#8211; Reach Out Now!</span><br />

  711. <h2>A New Set of Challenges for Harm Reduction</h2>
  712. <p>The most challenging element of treating synthetic opioids and a potential overdose is that patients under the influence of these psychoactive substances have no way to reveal to medical workers exactly what it is they took.</p>
  713. <p>For starters, the severe clinical toxicity causes respiratory depression &#8211; and even if they were able to talk, there&#8217;s little to no chance they were notified about exactly what was in the batch they purchased. <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/fentanyl-test-strips">Fentanyl test strips</a> do not identify the presence of nitazenes, and even more advanced options don&#8217;t indicate the ingestion of <a href="https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_chem_info/benzimidazole-opioids.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nitazenes and similar drugs</a>.</p>
  714. <p>In certain instances, nitazenes have shown antagonization as a result of the administration of antagonists like nalmefene and naloxone. However, it&#8217;s still not clear if the extremely potent action of the nitazenes causes a decline in <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/which-states-sell-narcan-over-the-counter">the effectiveness of naloxone</a>. It&#8217;s a challenging question, especially when the specific lethal dose amount of nitazene is unknown at this time.</p>
  715. <h2>The Dangers of Analog Psychoactive Substances</h2>
  716. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25185" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Dangers-of-Analog-Psychoactive-Substances.webp" alt="Dangers of Analog Psychoactive Substances" width="860" height="511" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Dangers-of-Analog-Psychoactive-Substances.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Dangers-of-Analog-Psychoactive-Substances-300x178.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Dangers-of-Analog-Psychoactive-Substances-768x456.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  717. <p>Chemicals like nitazenes are barely researched and shared among large medical organizations. In fact, an online search for nitazene turns up very little information on the drug and its mechanisms. So, what is the solution in situations like this?</p>
  718. <p>The only logical step is to educate the public and health officials on the growing dangers of analog substances. <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/polysubstance-abuse">Polysubstance abuse</a>, whether intentional or otherwise, seems to be the latest challenge on the forefront of the battle for recovery &#8211; and to save hundreds of thousands of potentially lost lives.</p>
  719. <p>Although a far cry from a standard opioid overdose, until further notice, the same reversal attempts must be used in the event of an overdose. During opioid overdose, when administered Narcan, the individual generally goes into what&#8217;s known as precipitated withdrawal.</p>
  720. <h3>Synthetic Opioid Traits and Rising Drug Overdose Deaths</h3>
  721. <p>Because the receptors that bind to the opioids are abruptly knocked off, the body experiences a type of shock. Even in the most severe clinical toxicity where the amount of opioids is high in the body, this intense experience still manifests. It&#8217;s unknown whether this takes place during an overdose of nitazene. However, one can only assume it does &#8211; another dynamic at play that medical workers must prepare themselves for.</p>
  722. <p>As the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and even the CDC (<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104a3.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Centers for Disease Control</a>) uncover more information about these illicit drugs impacting the illicit opioid supply, there are several important things to keep in mind that might save overdose victims in the long run.</p>
  723. <h2>Tips Regarding Synthetic Drugs and Novel Psychoactive Substances</h2>
  724. <p>Remember the following items with regard to the potential presence of novel synthetic opioids individually or separately:</p>
  725. <ul>
  726. <li>If you&#8217;re purchasing a substance from someone new, always be mindful of what could potentially be mixed with it</li>
  727. <li>If you&#8217;re going to continue using, always start with a minute amount until you know whether it&#8217;s safe to do more.</li>
  728. <li>If the substances you normally purchase become unusually lower in price for no apparent reason, this could be a huge red flag.</li>
  729. <li>If the individual overdosing doesn&#8217;t seem to respond initially, don&#8217;t be afraid to administer repeat naloxone dosing. Some of the stronger synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, require two and three doses sometimes.</li>
  730. <li>If the naloxone doesn&#8217;t seem to be reversing the overdose, administer CPR until medical staff arrives on the scene and inform them promptly that Narcan is not working.</li>
  731. </ul>

  740. <h2>FAQS About Nitazene and Frankenstein Opioids</h2>
  741. <h3>Is Nitazene exactly like fentanyl?</h3>
  742. <p>No &#8211; in fact, nitazene is absolutely nothing like fentanyl. This is what makes it so dangerous from its synthetic counterpart. They both can potentially act as analgesics, but that&#8217;s where the similarities stop. <strong>Nitazene is thought to be 1,000s of times more powerful</strong> <strong>than morphine AND fentanyl</strong>.</p>
  743. <h3>Are Nitazene drugs illegal?</h3>
  744. <p>Some states have passed legislation banning the drug and other analogs similar to fentanyl and methadone because of a huge uptick in overdose deaths. And some of its analogs have now recently been made illegal federally but with little apparent impact.</p>
  745. <h3>How much Nitazene does it take to overdose?</h3>
  746. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25186" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Nitazene-Overdose.webp" alt="Nitazene Overdose" width="860" height="507" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Nitazene-Overdose.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Nitazene-Overdose-300x177.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Nitazene-Overdose-768x453.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  747. <p>The exact amount of nitazene it takes to overdose someone is unclear. The lethal dose amount and bodily toxicity levels have yet to be uncovered &#8211; lending to the already high level of danger of taking this synthetic narcotic.</p>
  748. <p>However, during the earliest stages of development, it was stated that Nitazene was thought to be over 1,000 times more potent than morphine.</p>
  749. <h3>What to do if you think you&#8217;ve overdosed on Nitazene?</h3>
  750. <p>If you think you&#8217;ve overdosed on Nitazene, or any overdose for that matter, it&#8217;s imperative you contact 911 instantly. However, the chances are high that you won&#8217;t have a chance to remain conscious to do so. It&#8217;s important that you never use drugs alone, and never partake in the ingestion of IV or opioid drugs without having Naloxone readily available, and someone to administer it if needed.</p>

  767. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Are Loose Stool and Diarrhea Issues Caused by Drinking?</h2>
  768. <p>Good ol’ alcohol. It starts so innocently and fun. We all remember that night we were buying shots for the bar, making a bunch of new friends, and spending the night with the hottest person at the bar (well that is until we wake up the next morning wondering if we are waking up next to the same person we went to sleep next to). We often like to overlook the many negative consequences of our own drinking habits, such as the question that brings us here: does alcohol cause diarrhea?</p>
  769. <p>We all glorify the nights of drinking (at least what we remember). Even though we may not want to face it, I think we all know that alcohol can cause many problems for us. We face short-term problems like <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/drunk-texting">drunk texting</a> ex-partners at 2 AM, oversleeping and/or showing up late and hungover for work on Monday morning, all kinds of scrapes, burns, or scratches on our bodies from God only knows what, and waking up only to not remember where you left your car the night before.</p>
  770. <p>Not to mention there are also more serious long-term physical problems that occur when you consume alcohol such as high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), heart disease, strokes, liver problems, and even weakening our immune systems. Well, another problem that alcohol consumption can have on us is its effect on our digestive systems.</p>
  771. <p>Keep reading to <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/what-happens-during-alcohol-withdrawal">learn more about alcohol withdrawal</a> as the cause of diarrhea, and get proven options for support with Find Addiction Rehabs as well!</p>
  772. <h2>How Drinking Alcohol Affects Your Digestive System</h2>
  773. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25176" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Drinking-Alcohol-Affects-Your-Digestive-System.webp" alt="Alcohol Affects Your Digestive System" width="860" height="506" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Drinking-Alcohol-Affects-Your-Digestive-System.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Drinking-Alcohol-Affects-Your-Digestive-System-300x177.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Drinking-Alcohol-Affects-Your-Digestive-System-768x452.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  774. <p>As long as you graduated middle school, you probably remember our digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. They are absorbed through the digestive tract and bloodstream so the body can use them for energy, growth, and repair. It is also responsible for the elimination of solid food waste.</p>
  775. <p>Well, what you might not have remembered from 9th-grade biology is that alcohol can wreak havoc on our digestive systems in many different ways. Unlike normal foods we consume, our digestive system quickly recognizes that <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/alcohol-poisoning">alcohol is a poison</a> to our bodies and prioritizes the need to evict by any means necessary.</p>
  776. <p>That’s one of the reasons we end up having to run to the restroom every twenty minutes after we “break the seal “. (The other possibility is that we may very well be snorting lines of cocaine, as for many of us a night of drinking goes so nicely while on a date with that “white girl”).</p>
  777. <h3>What Happens in Your Body When You Drink Alcohol?</h3>
  778. <p>Alcohol keeps our bodies from releasing vasopressin which is a hormone that helps our body keep needed fluids by preventing water from going out in our urine. Less vasopressin means that we spend a lot more time in the restroom, “emptying our tanks”. But with our digestive systems dumping out more fluid than it’s used to, that can make us constipated the next morning.</p>
  779. <p>If you’ve ever been warned by a loved one to drink lots of water before going to bed, this is one of the reasons why. By drinking water all night, we can help our bodies stay hydrated and hopefully keep our sensitive digestive tract and systems working a little more normally.</p>

  782. <h2>What are the Causes Of Diarrhea After Drinking?</h2>
  783. <p>Another problem we may experience from our alcohol use, especially <strong>chronic heavy drinking is diarrhea</strong>. A night of drinking can agitate the intestines, which can cause them to speed up digestion. As stated earlier, the intestines register alcohol as a &#8220;poison “ and say: “We don’t need this stuff. Let’s get this out as fast as we can”.</p>
  784. <p>The muscles in the colon contract more frequently, pushing the digested food and drink out faster than usual. This quickening can lead to diarrhea, as the intestines do not have time to digest the passing food properly. We all know that this leads to a very uncomfortable night and the next day, as experiencing alcohol-related diarrhea can be problematic, even if you work from home!</p>
  785. <h2>Does Alcohol Cause Diarrhea: Alcohol as an Inflammation Trigger</h2>
  786. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25177" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Triggers-Inflammation.webp" alt="Alcohol Triggers Inflammation" width="860" height="495" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Triggers-Inflammation.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Triggers-Inflammation-300x173.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Triggers-Inflammation-768x442.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  787. <p>Another way that alcohol consumption can cause diarrhea is by stimulating the production of gastric acids in the stomach. Too much stomach acid can lead to gastritis, a condition characterized when you experience diarrhea and inflammation of the stomach lining.</p>
  788. <p>Gastritis can cause abdominal discomfort, nausea, and diarrhea as the stomach tries to eliminate the excess acid. So keep this in mind <strong>before ordering that 5th martini</strong> of the night (Hopefully, without Blue Cheese stuffed olives, Yuck!)</p>
  789. <h2>Alcohol Abuse and Gastrointestinal Issues</h2>
  790. <p>One last reason why that frozen margarita might give you diarrhea has to do with this little party we have going on in our intestines. Chilling in our intestines, we have a complex community of microorganisms called gut microbiota. Recent research has shown that alcohol can disrupt their complex community.</p>
  791. <p>The altered microbiota may not effectively digest and absorb nutrients when flooded with bourbon. This agitation can lead to other gastrointestinal tract symptoms such as diarrhea and, unlike Taylor Swift, our digestive systems can’t just “Shake It Off”. So not only does alcohol give us upset &#8220;tum-tums&#8221;, but the types of alcohol we are consuming can also lead us to be more likely to have “the runs”.</p>
  792. <h2>Does Drinking Different Types of Alcohol Matter?</h2>
  793. <p>So we&#8217;ve looked at how not only the amount of alcohol but also the amount of time we’ve been drinking it can cause problems, but did you know that what we are drinking can lead to gastronomic problems as well? For instance, beer is high in carbohydrates, which makes it more difficult for the digestive system to break down, which can lead to chronic diarrhea too.</p>
  794. <p>A lot of people also have trouble breaking down the tannins found <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/mommy-wine-culture">in the grapes used to make wine</a>. This can also lead to what some people call “the trots”, as well as headaches and nausea. Trust me, those two bottles of white wine you polished off to feel “fancy” are going to give you a hangover and you definitely want to stay away from them.</p>
  795. <h2>Is Alcohol Consumption High in Sugar?</h2>
  796. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25178" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Consumption-High-in-Sugar.webp" alt="Alcohol Consumption High in Sugar" width="860" height="511" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Consumption-High-in-Sugar.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Consumption-High-in-Sugar-300x178.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Alcohol-Consumption-High-in-Sugar-768x456.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  797. <p>Many people believe that alcohol is high in sugars. Actually, most spirits contain very little if any sugar at all. For instance, vodka, gin, tequila, and rum actually have no sugar in them. Generally speaking when it comes to sugars in your alcohol, the higher the ABV (Alcohol by volume), the more sugar that is in your spirit. Some alcohols do contain sugar, such as wines, in particular white wines. A bottle of sweet white wine can have more than 33.75 grams of residual sugar per bottle.</p>
  798. <p>However, mixed drinks, where juices, sodas, and even certain energy drinks are used, can be <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/sober-people-addicted-to-sugar">very high in sugar</a>. And forget about those frozen drinks that we chug down on cruises or at the beach. Just like alcohol, the digestive system tries to push out the useless sugar quickly, which again can lead to stomachaches and diarrhea after drinking alcohol.</p>
  799. <p>A popular myth is that the body metabolizes alcohol into sugar. It does not but, alcohol does significantly affect blood sugar levels, causing a yo-yo effect. Initially, alcohol raises blood sugar levels, but after the body processes the alcohol blood sugar levels drop dramatically.</p>

  802. <h2>How to Prevent Alcohol Related Diarrhea</h2>
  803. <p>Luckily, there are some things we can do in order to moderate drinking and to try and prevent the suffering and uncomfortableness caused by diarrhea and constipation. Obviously the first, and only perfect solution is choosing not to drink.</p>
  804. <p>I know you probably feel like you need that drink in order to relax and have fun though, but take it from me, a guy who hasn’t had a sip of alcohol in three years, you really don&#8217;t. Yes, alcohol can loosen us up and allow us to have more fun, but the real goal should be learning to have fun without needing to be inebriated.</p>
  805. <h3>Ways to Reduce the Chances of Digestive Upset from Drinking</h3>
  806. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25179" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Never-drink-on-an-empty-stomach.webp" alt="Reduce the Chances of Digestive Upset from Drinking" width="860" height="504" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Never-drink-on-an-empty-stomach.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Never-drink-on-an-empty-stomach-300x176.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Never-drink-on-an-empty-stomach-768x450.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  807. <p>However, if you do choose to drink, there are ways to be more responsible and cognizant while consuming your favorite cocktails. We can start by drinking a little more slowly. Never drink on an empty stomach and give your body <strong>more time to process the alcohol</strong>, which can help ease the stress we put on our digestive tracts.</p>
  808. <p>It’s also a good idea to rotate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks during our night of partying, particularly water if we are going to be drinking for any length of time.</p>
  809. <p>Another good trick can be to eat a healthy meal before or even during our drinking binge. This can help <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/how-long-does-alcohol-stay-in-your-system">slow the absorption of alcohol into the body</a> and lower our chances of waking up early in the morning to run to the toilet.</p>
  810. <h2>How Long Does Alcohol Diarrhea Last?</h2>
  811. <p>Obviously, I&#8217;m not a doctor (but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), but alcohol-induced diarrhea can vary in duration and severity depending on many factors, including the amount of alcohol consumed, your overall tolerance and health, and even how quickly you drink.</p>
  812. <p>In general, it should subside in a day or two as your body processes the alcohol and returns to its normal state. However, if it persists or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, I would definitely suggest consulting a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and advice.</p>
  813. <h2>Hard Drinking and Lifestyle Choices</h2>
  814. <p>The lesson to be learned here is that alcohol can affect our physical health in so many ways. According <a href="https://www.ruralhealthinfo.org/rural-monitor/alcohol-elixir-poison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Dr. Kay Miller</a>,</p>
  815. <blockquote><p>“As a cancer-causing agent in the same list as asbestos, alcoholic beverages are linked to innumerable malignancies in many organ systems.”</p></blockquote>
  816. <p>The negatives of drinking alcoholic beverages and overindulging in our favorite elixir, seem to far outweigh the positives.</p>
  817. <p>If you spend the night drinking and you choose not to follow any of our advice, don’t be surprised the next day to be spending a lot of your morning sitting on the toilet. So if you end up having to throw your underwear into the trash, you can’t say I didn’t warn you. Also please be sure to check your supply of toilet paper before heading out for a long night of drinking.</p>
  818. <h2>Finding It Difficult To Reduce Your Alcohol Intake or Stop Drinking?</h2>
  819. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25180" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Stop-Drinking-Alcohol.webp" alt="Stop Drinking Alcohol" width="860" height="502" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Stop-Drinking-Alcohol.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Stop-Drinking-Alcohol-300x175.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Stop-Drinking-Alcohol-768x448.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  820. <p>The <a href="https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism</a> defines an alcohol use disorder (and alcoholism) with respect to many different traits. Being an alcoholic isn&#8217;t always defined by how much you drink. It&#8217;s more about the ways it impacts you. A few questions you may want to ask yourself:</p>
  821. <ul>
  822. <li>Do you feel the need to drink every day even if you do not do so?</li>
  823. <li>Can you feel agitation or anxiety when you do not drink?</li>
  824. <li>Do you sometimes drink at odd times of the day, like the morning, during lunch, or even while at work?</li>
  825. <li>Do you use alcohol as a way to deal with thoughts and feelings, or stress or depression?</li>
  826. <li>Do you experience cravings when you do not drink?</li>
  827. <li>Do you find yourself needing to drink more often or larger amounts of alcohol than before?</li>
  828. <li>Do you sometimes try to refrain from drinking and sometimes end up doing it anyway, or drinking more than you planned?</li>
  829. </ul>

  851. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Dissociative Substance Abuse and Detection Times</h2>
  852. <p>Have you ever wondered, &#8220;<strong>How long does PCP stay in your system? </strong>Perhaps you have an upcoming drug test, or it could be for a friend; in any case, understanding the duration of PCP&#8217;s stay in one&#8217;s system is akin to assembling a jigsaw puzzle without its box &#8211; since everyone processes substances differently.</p>
  853. <p>We all know that every person is unique &#8211; from our fingerprints to how we process substances like PCP. But did you know that factors such as body mass and liver function can influence how long this drug remains detectable?</p>
  854. <p>In the blink of an eye, one might find themselves tangled in addiction treatment or wrestling with withdrawal symptoms due to this potent substance also known as angel dust. Imagine finding yourself trying to shake off its dissociation feelings – it’s no walk in the park!</p>

  856. <h2>Understanding PCP: A Comprehensive Guide</h2>
  857. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25197" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/dipped-pcp-cigarette-smoking-wet-sherm.webp" alt="PCP dipped cigarette: smoking wet sherm concept pic" width="860" height="508" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/dipped-pcp-cigarette-smoking-wet-sherm.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/dipped-pcp-cigarette-smoking-wet-sherm-300x177.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/dipped-pcp-cigarette-smoking-wet-sherm-768x454.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  858. <p>PCP, short for Phencyclidine, is a powerful and dangerous substance that&#8217;s been around since the 1950s. Initially developed as an IV sedative, its misuse has caused countless issues related to mental health, drug abuse, and addiction.</p>
  859. <h3>The Origin and Nature of PCP</h3>
  860. <p>The history of <a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/hallucinogens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PCP</a>, also known by street names like angel dust or rocket fuel, starts in medical labs where it was created with good intentions. But soon after it gained popularity among those seeking highs outside of what&#8217;s legal or safe.</p>
  861. <p>This drug falls under the category of disruptive medications due to its profound impact on brain function. Its half-life ranges from approximately 7-46 hours which means it can linger in your system for quite some time post-ingestion.</p>
  862. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;">24 Hour Detox and Rehab Options – Reach Out Now!</span><br />
  863. <span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px; margin-top: 5px;"><a href="tel:(877) 959-7271"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i> (877) 959-7271</a></span></div>
  864. <h3>How PCP is Ingested</h3>
  865. <p>Ingesting this drug isn&#8217;t limited to one method; people use whatever way they think will give them their desired effects faster. From smoking embalming fluid laced with PCP to swallowing pills &#8211; these methods are not only risky but increase the chances of long-term PCP staying in one’s body mass.</p>
  866. <p>Different ingestion routes have varying detection times too. For instance, if taken orally through pill form urine drug tests might be able to detect traces within 4-6 hours immediately after usage and up until about 7-14 days later depending on individual differences such as liver function among other factors.</p>
  867. <p>This makes <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/most-common-effects-pcp-abuse">battling against PCP abuse</a> much more difficult because you&#8217;re never really sure how long ago someone may have used based solely on standard test results alone.</p>
  868. <h2>The Effects of PCP on Perception and Behavior</h2>
  869. <p>Phencyclidine, or as it&#8217;s commonly known, <strong>PCP,</strong> is a potent drug that has dramatic effects on an individual&#8217;s perception and behavior. But what does this really mean?</p>
  870. <p>Let’s break down the impact of physical and psychological effects of PCP use.</p>
  871. <p>PCP&#8217;s effects are as disruptive as its classification. The substance works by altering brain function, leading to distorted perceptions of reality, <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/hppd-hallucinogenic-persisting-perception-disorder">intense hallucinations</a>, and feelings of detachment or dissociation from one’s environment (stronger even than comparable other substances such as Ketamine, provide).</p>
  872. <p>For those with PCP addiction, seeking treatment for these reasons alone is wise.</p>
  873. <h3>Physical Symptoms of PCP Use</h3>
  874. <p>Just so you know, this drug use can cause some real physical symptoms too.</p>
  875. <p><a href="https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/hallucinogens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse,</a> using PCP can cause physical symptoms like increased heart rate and high blood pressure. Not just that, mood swings are also a common side effect.</p>
  876. <p>In fact, many users have difficulty speaking after taking the drug. One might think they&#8217;re having a casual chat while their words come out jumbled or incoherent. Also quite alarming are dilated pupils which become noticeable within minutes of ingesting this powerful hallucinogen.</p>
  877. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  878. <p>PCP, originally crafted as a potent IV sedative, can linger in your system for some time due to its 7-46 hour half-life. How you take it changes how long it sticks around &#8211; anywhere from 4-6 hours up to roughly 7-14 days depending on personal factors. And let&#8217;s not forget the mind-bending perceptions and intense PCP withdrawal symptoms.</p></blockquote>
  879. <h3>Cognitive Difficulties Associated with PCP Use</h3>
  880. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25189" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Difficulties-Associated-with-PCP-Use.webp" alt="Difficulties Associated with PCP Use" width="860" height="494" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Difficulties-Associated-with-PCP-Use.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Difficulties-Associated-with-PCP-Use-300x172.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Difficulties-Associated-with-PCP-Use-768x441.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  881. <p>The cognitive difficulties linked to consuming angel dust &#8211; one among many street names for this substance &#8211; extend far beyond difficulty speaking. A person may experience severe memory loss due to alterations in brain chemistry caused by regular usage.</p>
  882. <p>If you&#8217;ve ever tried finding your car keys only to realize they were right there in your pocket all along – imagine that confusion amplified several times over. Now you&#8217;re starting to get an idea about how confusing life becomes when struggling with memory loss from <strong>using sherm</strong> (yet another street name).</p>
  883. <p>This disruption doesn&#8217;t stop at just forgetting where we put our keys though; it often extends into daily routines such as personal hygiene tasks or remembering important dates and appointments.</p>
  884. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  885. <p>PCP, or phencyclidine, seriously messes with your perception and behavior. Physical symptoms include increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and mood swings. Speaking can become a struggle, words may jumble up. But it doesn&#8217;t stop there &#8211; memory loss is also common due to brain chemistry changes caused by regular use of this potent drug.</p></blockquote>

  888. <h2>How Long Does PCP Stay in the System?</h2>
  889. <p>The time frame that <strong>PCP stays</strong> in your system can vary depending on several factors. Understanding this is crucial, whether you&#8217;re a concerned family member or someone considering addiction treatment.</p>
  890. <h3>The Detection Time of PCP in Different Body Fluids</h3>
  891. <p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how long it takes to eliminate PCP from your body, here&#8217;s the lowdown. The drug remains detectable for different periods across various bodily fluids &#8211; blood, urine, saliva, and hair.</p>
  892. <p>In terms of a blood test after use, one can usually detect PCP up to 1-4 hours later. That’s shorter than an episode of Game of Thrones. Factors like individual differences and body mass influence how quickly it gets eliminated though. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to research,</a> the usual half-life substance ranges between 1.5 days and as much as ten whole days before leaving your bloodstream entirely.</p>
  893. <h3>Urine and Saliva Testing for PCP</h3>
  894. <p><em>PCP urine tests</em>, however, give us a slightly wider detection window compared with their blood counterparts. A single use might reflect positive results for up to four to six hours post-consumption while regular usage could mean finding traces even seven to fourteen days later.</p>
  895. <p>Apart from these commonly used methods are saliva tests – less intrusive but also effective ways to identify PCP presence within a few minutes or hours post-ingestion. But what truly stands out among all testing mechanisms is probably the hair test – capable enough not only of detecting any intake over the past months but sometimes going back years. According to the SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), hair follicles can retain PCP up to 90 days after use.</p>
  896. <p>The detection times are influenced by several factors. These include your liver function, body mass, and fatty tissues where the drug&#8217;s half-life plays a significant role in how long PCP stays within you. It&#8217;s more complicated than expected.</p>
  897. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  898. <p>Remember, PCP lingers in your system and detection times vary. Blood tests can find it 1-4 hours post-use. Urine tests? They could spot leftovers up to two weeks later. And hair follicle tests don&#8217;t miss a thing for three months. But let&#8217;s not forget &#8211; everyone&#8217;s body reacts differently, so these timings aren&#8217;t set in stone.</p></blockquote>
  899. <h2>What are the Risks of PCP Abuse and Addiction?</h2>
  900. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25190" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Risk-of-PCP-Addiction.webp" alt="Risk of PCP Addiction" width="860" height="513" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Risk-of-PCP-Addiction.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Risk-of-PCP-Addiction-300x179.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Risk-of-PCP-Addiction-768x458.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  901. <p>It&#8217;s easy to fall into the trap of addiction, especially with a drug as potent as PCP. Known by street names like &#8216;wet&#8217; and &#8216;sherm&#8217;, this mind-altering substance can quickly lead you down a path that&#8217;s hard to reverse.</p>
  902. <p>What is it that makes PCP so habit-forming? The answer lies in how it affects your mental health. Its hallucinogenic properties cause dissociation feelings, leading users on an out-of-body journey they find hard to resist repeating.</p>
  903. <h3>The Detection Window: A Deceptive Safety Net</h3>
  904. <p>The danger is further exacerbated due to its detection window &#8211; or rather the lack thereof. While many believe that the long PCP stay means their body has built up a tolerance level allowing for safe use, this couldn&#8217;t be farther from the truth.</p>
  905. <p>In reality, every time you ingest PCP (or <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2630377" target="_blank" rel="noopener">embalming fluid</a>, another one of its aliases), you&#8217;re playing Russian roulette with your body mass and liver function. Your individual differences might make it seem like no harm done at first glance but let me assure you – there’s more than meets the eye here.</p>
  906. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;">Admissions Specialists Available 24/7 – Call us Now!</span><br />

  908. <h3>Mental Health Effects: From Dissociation Feelings To Mental Illness</h3>
  909. <p>A single-use won’t necessarily tip over into dependency; however continual usage of this potentially addictive drug leads to an inevitable risk factor – mental illness. Long-term exposure impairs cognitive functions resulting in memory loss along with creating severe drug cravings pushing individuals deeper into addiction.</p>
  910. <p><strong>Facing these withdrawal symptoms alone is almost impossible.</strong></p>
  911. <h3>PCP Addiction Treatment Process: A Path Towards Recovery</h3>
  912. <p>But, all hope isn&#8217;t lost. The addiction treatment process is designed to help you or your loved ones navigate this challenging time frame.</p>
  913. <p>Treatment centers dish out a wide array of programs. They cover everything from one-on-one therapy to family sessions and support groups for both those struggling with PCP addiction and their loved ones. The goal of a treatment center for PCP use isn&#8217;t just detox but also handling withdrawal symptoms, getting mental health back on track, and repairing damaged relationships.</p>
  914. <blockquote><p><strong>Key Takeaway: </strong></p>
  915. <p>&#8216;Angel dust&#8217;, or PCP, hooks you with its mind-bending impact. Many users get fooled by the long detection window, feeling falsely safe. Keep using it and you could end up battling mental health issues and serious addiction. But don&#8217;t despair &#8211; there are treatment centers ready to help, offering all-inclusive programs that tackle not just detox but also withdrawal management.</p></blockquote>

  949. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Growing Cost of Cocaine Globally and for Individuals</h2>
  950. <p>Those who are in active addiction hardly stop to calculate the price of their habit. When someone is dealing with a cocaine addiction, the cocaine cost goes unnoticed, as the primary object is to obtain the illegal drugs by any means possible.</p>
  951. <p>Over the last few years, America has experienced an increase in cocaine prices &#8211; and the number of those suffering from cocaine addiction has dipped as well. But how much is a gram of cocaine, and why the high price for such as small bag of powder?</p>
  952. <p>Why have cocaine costs changed, and did the use of the drug decrease as cocaine prices climbed? If cocaine prices fell, would more people turn back to cocaine? In this article, we take a look at information provided by the Drug Enforcement Administration regarding global cocaine production and the cocaine supply chains.</p>
  953. <p>If you or a loved one has been caught up in the high prices of cocaine and would like effective options for <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/cocaine-addiction/treatment">cocaine addiction treatment</a> across the county, we&#8217;ll also highlight how Find Addiction Rehabs can help today!</p>
  954. <h2>Cocaine by the Numbers Across the World</h2>

  956. <p>As drug cartels continue to pump massive amounts of drugs into the United States, drug abuse has skyrocketed within our borders. Despite strict laws forbidding drug use and possession throughout the 80s and 90s, the war against illegal substances clearly had little to no impact on the skyrocketing rates of use.</p>
  957. <p>As a result, mental health in a large amount of the population has declined, and the homeless and jobless numbers are higher than ever. Does the retail street price of cocaine play a role in this dynamic? Let&#8217;s look at the retail street price of cocaine and other information in American and European countries.</p>
  958. <p>According to reports, heavy drug abuse of cocaine has steadily declined since 2016. This led to the decline of cocaine markets in America and Europe, the sources of largest demand <a href="https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/cocaine/Global_cocaine_report_2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in the global drug trade</a>.</p>
  959. <p>While most European countries and American states have witnessed lower numbers &#8211; other countries typically not impacted by large amounts of cocaine use have experienced a drastic climb.</p>

  962. <h2>How Much is Gram of Cocaine: The High Price of a Bit of Powder</h2>
  963. <p>Cocaine continues to be one of the most expensive drugs on the market. Often referred to as the rich man&#8217;s drug, a gram of the substance varies heavily depending on exactly where you&#8217;re located.</p>
  964. <p>Let&#8217;s see where the price of cocaine stood as of 2017 and 2018:</p>
  965. <ul>
  966. <li>A gram of cocaine on the black market of American streets retailed for about $160.</li>
  967. <li>In Europe, the price was around $96.</li>
  968. <li>Fast forward to 2019, and the price for a gram in the United States has inflated to $200.</li>
  969. </ul>
  970. <p>If you are reading these prices, and thinking they sound a bit high (or very high) remember that these figures are adjusted for purity, and reflect the value of pure cocaine.</p>
  971. <h2>How Much Do Different Amounts of Cocaine Cost?</h2>
  972. <h2><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24718" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Different-Amounts-of-Cocaine-Cost.webp" alt="Different Amounts of Cocaine Cost" width="860" height="505" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Different-Amounts-of-Cocaine-Cost.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Different-Amounts-of-Cocaine-Cost-300x176.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Different-Amounts-of-Cocaine-Cost-768x451.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></h2>
  973. <p>Like other products, the price of cocaine continues to take a downward slide as the amount gets larger. But what about smaller amounts?</p>
  974. <p>Let&#8217;s look at the cost of cocaine across the board over the past decade.</p>
  975. <h3>How Much is a Gram of Cocaine vs A Bump of Cocaine</h3>
  976. <p>A bump of cocaine, often referred to as a nickel, is around $5. Inside a gram, you&#8217;ll find roughly 20-25 doses this size that many small-level dealers repackage and sell for a profit.</p>
  977. <p>Smaller amounts of cocaine this size aren&#8217;t usually readily available, as a gram of cocaine is typically the starting point. Generally, only crack cocaine dealers make any amount smaller than a gram available.</p>
  978. <h3>An 8-Ball of Cocaine</h3>
  979. <p>An 8-ball of cocaine, or 3.5 grams, is generally the next available amount &#8211; and where a price break takes place. According to information from the DEA, the national average price for an 8-ball of cocaine in 2019 was about $300. This is a stark difference in the prices of the early 2000s and 90s when an 8-ball was available for only $150.</p>
  980. <h3>Kilo of Cocaine</h3>
  981. <p>The national average price for a kilo of cocaine is largely what drives small-market prices on 8-ball and gram sizes. In the 80s and 90s, one could acquire a kilogram, which is 2.5 pounds, for around $15,000 to $17,000. This was considered a fairly good price, and averages tended to hit around the $20,000 mark.</p>
  982. <p>Currently, a kilogram of cocaine has an average price tag of anywhere between $35,000 and $80,000. In the context of global comparison from markets since the 1980s, these prices are unprecedented. It&#8217;s these inflated kilo prices that impact the cost of street-level amounts &#8211; but why do the large suppliers, such as Arab countries and Mexican cartels, experience price increases on the production side?</p>
  983. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;"><span class="h3">Up to 100% of Treatment Costs Covered by Insurance</span> &#8211; Call Now!</span><br />

  985. <h2>The Reason for the Increase in Cocaine Costs</h2>
  986. <p>The reason for the increase in the price of powder cocaine is largely attributed to <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/where-does-cocaine-come-from">global cocaine production</a> reaching a tipping point. In the past, labs in South America created the final product after the plant was harvested. This was a process with a significant chain of people that required a lengthy period of time.</p>
  987. <p>As time continued, the use of crystal meth and fentanyl increased &#8211; both products the Mexican cartels can create synthetically &#8211; right in our backyard. This leads to a much easier and simpler route for these drugs ultimately reaching American and European countries. The older smuggling routes used to get cocaine to America are no longer required, as the only challenge is now crossing the border into the United States, as opposed to a long trek through jungle and other treacherous areas.</p>
  988. <p>The increased desire for meth and fentanyl has had a profound impact on the price of the drug. With supply and demand dictating the final cost of everything, it&#8217;s all about the demand for <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/the-cost-of-illegal-drugs-in-the-united-states">specific drugs on the American market</a>.</p>
  989. <h2>Has the Price of Cocaine Impacted Levels of Addiction?</h2>
  990. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24719" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Price-of-Cocaine-Impacted-Levels-of-Addiction.webp" alt="Price of Cocaine Impacted Levels of Addiction" width="860" height="513" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Price-of-Cocaine-Impacted-Levels-of-Addiction.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Price-of-Cocaine-Impacted-Levels-of-Addiction-300x179.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Price-of-Cocaine-Impacted-Levels-of-Addiction-768x458.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  991. <p>It would be nice to say that cocaine costs have made a significant impact on the usage of crack cocaine and other variations of drug addiction. However, it doesn&#8217;t work that way. The sad fact is, as we mentioned earlier, cocaine is considered a rich man&#8217;s drug.</p>
  992. <p>When those who use it begin to overextend themselves financially and no longer have a source of funding to satisfy the expensive habit &#8211; typically they <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/crack-addiction/withdrawal">turn to crack</a>, as they&#8217;re able to buy in much smaller quantities.</p>
  993. <p>While a gram of cocaine at $100 or $150 might not be feasible as a daily expense for some people, several dime bags of crack cocaine allow these individuals to satisfy their cocaine use disorder. If the level of drug use lowered with the price, the outlook for addiction would look much brighter in the United States.</p>
  994. <p>Unfortunately, this does not occur, and mixing cocaine with adulterants and cutting agents may reduce the price on the street, but does little to dampen the enthusiasm among regular users.</p>
  995. <h3>The High Cost of Cocaine Addiction Has Only Grown Greater</h3>
  996. <p>In reality, what typically happens is either you witness the situation described above, or the cartels importing the drug focus on cheaper alternatives, flooding the streets with whatever this substance might be.</p>
  997. <p>In our current landscape, it seems to be methamphetamine, as numbers have skyrocketed. Knowing that America is by far the largest drug consumer globally, coupled with the fact that addicts who aren&#8217;t ready to quit will adapt to using any drug that fills the void that&#8217;s missing &#8211; these large-scale suppliers will let nothing stand in the way of their profits.</p>
  998. <h2>Why Does the Street Price for a Gram of Cocaine and Other Drugs Fluctuate?</h2>
  999. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24720" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Street-Price-for-a-Gram-of-Cocaine.webp" alt="Street Price for a Gram of Cocaine" width="860" height="487" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Street-Price-for-a-Gram-of-Cocaine.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Street-Price-for-a-Gram-of-Cocaine-300x170.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Street-Price-for-a-Gram-of-Cocaine-768x435.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1000. <p>The prices of street drugs have typically always remained in a state of flux. There are several driving factors that lead to these dips and peaks:</p>
  1001. <ul>
  1002. <li>Supply chain issues factor into the final cost of the product. Raised prices are passed along to <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/report-a-drug-dealer">street-level dealers</a>, and finally users. Challenges might include an increase in the costs of precursors used to make certain drugs.</li>
  1003. <li>A large shipment can be intercepted by law enforcement, causing a temporary spike in prices.</li>
  1004. <li>The overall popularity of certain drugs may also factor in.</li>
  1005. </ul>

  1029. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Getting Help for Drinking and Moving Past a Toxic Crutch</h2>
  1030. <p>Let&#8217;s face it. Parenting is stressful and can lead to a lot of self-medication. I used to laugh at all of the mommy wine culture memes and other images I would see on social media. I would proudly tout myself as a wine mom and share all of the memes and funny pictures that I&#8217;d see come out of the wine mom culture.</p>
  1031. <p>What I didn&#8217;t realize was that mommy wine culture leads to <a href="https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/cycle-alcohol-addiction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">binge drinking and alcoholism</a> becoming socially acceptable and even encouraged. When I finally sought treatment via Find Addiction Rehabs, I met a lot of other women who had the same experience with alcoholism as me.</p>

  1035. <h3>Being A Wine Mom</h3>
  1036. <p>The wine mom trend is hard to ignore if you are an alcoholic or a mother and are active at all on the internet or social media. Once I began liking and commenting on all the wine mom memes, I started seeing them more and more. I even began seeing t-shirts and other products in my Facebook feed promoting the wine mommy culture.</p>
  1037. <p>T-shirts and other apparel with phrases such as &#8216;wine mom&#8217;s unite&#8217; were popping up more and more on my phone. I would even see wine glasses that said &#8216;mommy juice&#8217; on them. I&#8217;d laugh at this stuff, but deep down I knew there was something strange about this&#8230; All this stuff made me feel like my alcohol abuse and dependence was justified. I mean, after all, people drink, right?</p>
  1038. <h2>How Wine Mom Culture Influences Parenthood</h2>
  1039. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24643" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Wine-Mom-Culture.webp" alt="Wine Mom Culture" width="860" height="485" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Wine-Mom-Culture.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Wine-Mom-Culture-300x169.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Wine-Mom-Culture-768x433.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1040. <p>The mommy wine culture made me feel like I was a part of something, a community, even though it was a culture that promoted alcohol dependency. Being a parent of young children can feel very lonely at times. All you have sometimes are the other moms around you who can easily influence your decision-making and lifestyle choices.</p>
  1041. <p>Before I became a mother, I would drink here and there, but it never became a regular thing for me. I could take or leave alcohol. But once I settled into motherhood, the grind of it began to get to me.</p>
  1042. <p>There&#8217;s very little time to rest and gather yourself. You&#8217;re juggling all kinds of things. There are endless appointments, childcare scheduling conflicts, shopping for school, shopping for Summer Camp, rides to friend&#8217;s houses, the list goes on and on. It&#8217;s not surprising there have been so many versions of &#8216;mother&#8217;s little helper&#8217; over the years, or that wine has come back into fashion in just such a role.</p>
  1043. <h3>How The Stress Of Motherhood Leads To Alcohol Dependence</h3>
  1044. <p>Mom&#8217;s wine culture and the ever-present wine bottle have become so prevalent in our society and a big part of it is peer pressure. Beyond the stressors of parenthood, you are easily influenced by the other parents you associate with. <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/report_3223/ShortReport-3223.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Drinking wine became a necessity</a> for me and my friends when we would get our children together for playdates.</p>
  1045. <p>Parenting is a tough job. Anyone who has had children will tell you that. People who don&#8217;t have children even know this if they&#8217;ve spent any amount of time around people with kids. Drinking wine with my friends was the only reprieve I got, at bath time or any time for that matter. At least that was how I felt for a long time.</p>
  1046. <p>Wine was the only opportunity to unwind and not worry about that next doctor&#8217;s appointment or sporting event. This slowly led to a toxic relationship not just with alcohol, but with the people I surrounded myself with as well.</p>
  1047. <h2>Alcohol Use Disorder Among Parents</h2>
  1048. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24642" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Alcohol-Use-Disorder-Among-Parents.webp" alt="Alcohol Use Disorder Among Parents" width="860" height="520" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Alcohol-Use-Disorder-Among-Parents.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Alcohol-Use-Disorder-Among-Parents-300x181.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Alcohol-Use-Disorder-Among-Parents-768x464.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1049. <p>As I engaged in the mommy wine culture and my alcohol consumption became excessive, there were signs that something was wrong. I would forget prior commitments. I would show up to appointments or events having forgotten things. Like all the other wine moms I associated with, I tried to laugh it off.</p>
  1050. <p>When you are carting kids around, there are a lot of items you need to have on hand. Snacks, diapers, formula, first aid stuff, it&#8217;s a long list and if you are impaired at all it can be easy to forget things. You can laugh it off all you want, but it still adds stress to an already stressful job.</p>
  1051. <h3>Escape Responsibility</h3>
  1052. <p>As my drinking habits continued to get worse, I would try and escape certain responsibilities. I would pass off commitments to my husband or the grandparents. It got to the point where my drinking got in the way of my parental responsibilities. Early on, I was able to put down the wine glass and fulfill commitments. Eventually, however, the wine became more of a priority.</p>
  1053. <p>This is the experience that many mothers have. It starts out slow. Many moms have a hard time managing stress, and this stress can get worse and worse the older your children get. When you have a baby, abusing alcohol can be a little easier. When your little ones begin to run around and get into stuff, you need to keep more of an eye on them.</p>
  1054. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;">Up to 100% of Treatment Costs Covered by Insurance &#8211; Call Now!</span><br />

  1056. <h2>A Coping Mechanism We All Joke About</h2>
  1057. <p>When you find yourself joking around and finding humor in your substance abuse, it&#8217;s easier to shrug it off. Joking about it and not taking it seriously is masking the difficult truth that is right there beneath the surface. I saw being a wine mom as part of my identity. I felt like I was part of a club. I felt like I belonged.</p>
  1058. <p>There are a lot of negative consequences that many women suffer from as a result of falling into the wine-mom culture. Beyond the health risks, there are other mental health issues that arise as well. If you have any kind of issue, drinking can make it momentarily go away. As your tolerance builds, you need more of mommy&#8217;s juice to get by, and then, when you don&#8217;t have it, <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wine-withdrawal-symptoms">the wine withdrawal symptoms</a> begin to rear their ugly heads.</p>
  1059. <h3>The Emotional Rollercoaster Of Parenthood</h3>
  1060. <p>Being a parent, especially a new parent, is extremely emotional and can be very difficult to navigate. It&#8217;s not unusual for new mothers to experience anxiety and depression as a result of having children. I went through this myself and often found myself feeling incredibly guilty for having such emotions. I didn&#8217;t want to make it all about me, because I wanted my complete focus to be on my child&#8217;s well-being.</p>
  1061. <p>This is how mothers like myself can easily fall into the mommy wine culture. Everything is about the children. You are expected to be fully present at all times and your only concern is your child. This almost always leads to some form of neglect of your mental and physical health too.</p>
  1062. <p>When my alcohol consumption led to a <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/the-effects-and-causes-of-alcohol-addiction">full-on alcohol addiction</a>, I knew I couldn&#8217;t be the best parent for my child, and I needed to seek professional help. I couldn&#8217;t stop cold turkey, and I did;t want to develop liver disease, heart disease, or the other consequences I&#8217;d seen women develop who had been drinking for large chunks of their lives.</p>
  1063. <p>I didn&#8217;t really know where to turn, but fortunately, I got in touch with Find Addiction Rehabs.</p>
  1064. <h2>When Wine Moms Ask For Help</h2>
  1065. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24641" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/When-Wine-Moms-Ask-For-Help.webp" alt="When Wine Moms Ask For Help" width="860" height="510" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/When-Wine-Moms-Ask-For-Help.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/When-Wine-Moms-Ask-For-Help-300x178.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/When-Wine-Moms-Ask-For-Help-768x455.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1066. <p><a href="https://nida.nih.gov/publications/drugs-brains-behavior-science-addiction/treatment-recovery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Admitting you have a problem and you need help can be overwhelming.</a> All of your emotions are heightened as a parent of young children, and it can be hard to work on yourself when you have children who require so much attention. It&#8217;s difficult to remove yourself from the mom wine culture, especially when these are some of the only other people you associate with.</p>
  1067. <p>I ultimately was confronted by my husband about my drinking. I could no longer hide my binge drinking and alcohol dependency as it was clearly affecting my parenting ability. I realized that for my own mental health, a healthier relationship with my family, and my children&#8217;s future, I needed to do something. That something was a search for support <a href="homehttps://findaddictionrehabs.com">through Find Addiction Rehabs</a>.</p>
  1068. <h3>Finding Support As A Parent</h3>
  1069. <p>When everything in your life revolves around your children, taking the time to work on yourself is a big step to take. Once I began to work on my drinking however, I found myself being a much more present and positive influence on my children&#8217;s lives. When I was drinking, I couldn&#8217;t wait to get some time for myself to drink wine with my fellow wine moms.</p>
  1070. <p>Because of this, I would often be impatient around my kids. Two hours at a soccer scrimmage seemed like ten, and by the end, I would be screaming at everyone to pack up and go!</p>
  1071. <p>Now that I am sober, I am much more physically and mentally present for every second of my kids&#8217; lives. I have found new mommy friends through my recovery network, and these relationships have been much more fulfilling for me than the ones I had with my fellow wine moms. I&#8217;ve found that making connections with others in recovery is crucial to staying sober and keeping a clear head.</p>

  1073. <span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px; margin-top: 5px;"><a href="tel:(877) 959-7271"><i class="fa fa-phone"></i> (877) 959-7271</a></span></div>
  1074. <h2>Breaking Free of Mommy Wine Culture</h2>
  1075. <p>A big part of sobriety is not being judgmental of others&#8217; decisions. This was difficult for me to grapple with when I was newly sober. I saw the mothers I used to associate with choosing wine over being present with their children. It was easy for me to stand up on my high horse and judge them. After being in recovery for a bit more time, I learned that that mindset was not serving me. In fact, it made me bitter.</p>
  1076. <p>Nobody is perfect. There are no parents out there who have it all figured out. Parenting is a learning process that never ends. Knowing how stressful and all-consuming the life of a mother is, it&#8217;s easier for me to understand the traps that others fall into. When I talk to others about my experience, I am very careful to not come off judgmental.</p>
  1077. <h3>It&#8217;s OK To Not Have All The Answers</h3>
  1078. <p>Even though I am sober, I can&#8217;t convince someone else to do it the way that I did. Everyone&#8217;s addiction is unique, as is every person&#8217;s mind. We all have a different story to tell, and sometimes what works for one person may not work for another. I try my best to be patient with people and when I have to associate with wine moms, I don&#8217;t preach to them or talk down to them.</p>
  1079. <p>I also don&#8217;t talk about my sobriety unless somebody asks. I&#8217;m not going to force someone into recovery by berating them or making them feel less than because they have a problem. If one of my fellow wine moms asks for my advice or asks me how I got sober, I am an open book. If someone is sober curious, it&#8217;s always a great opportunity to give my personal experience.</p>

  1082. <p>The only <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wine-addiction">wine addiction</a> that I can treat is my own. I can give others advice, but I don&#8217;t have all the answers myself.

  1083. <p>If you can relate, or have someone you care about you think might have similar issues, please don&#8217;t let the fear of the unknown stop you from reaching out for support.</p>

  1103. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Reaching a Moment of Willingness in Seeking Recovery</h2>
  1104. <p>I hit rock bottom long before I finally took that giant step toward seeking help, thanks largely to the &#8216;gift of desperation.&#8217; I didn&#8217;t want to live anymore. The drugs used to take away or dull my mind enough for me to forget and get away from my problems. Eventually, that stopped working.</p>
  1105. <p>After a while, I was only using drugs to prevent myself from getting sick. Life became more and more miserable on an almost daily basis.</p>
  1106. <p><a href="https://nida.nih.gov/publications/drugfacts/heroin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Being a heroin addict, you&#8217;re on the clock all day and night.</a> Your entire life revolves around not going through withdrawal. It&#8217;s a desperation that I wouldn&#8217;t wish on my friend or own worst enemy. For many suffering from addiction, you are trying to outrun some kind of pain or loneliness. I didn&#8217;t realize it at the time, but when I got sick and tired of being sick and tired, it was a true gift.</p>
  1107. <p>I had heard good things about Find Addiction Rehabs from former addicts, so I decided to give it a shot when I found that I couldn&#8217;t live the addict life any longer. Not all addicts reach that point of desperation, but for those who do, it&#8217;s a lifesaver. It can be the greatest gift you&#8217;ve ever been given.</p>
  1108. <p>Please keep reading this blog if any of this sounds familiar to you, whether you believe there is hope or not, support can be found, and you just have to stay alive long enough to get a real chance!</p>
  1109. <h2>How Addiction Began in My Life</h2>
  1110. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24635" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/How-Addiction-Began-in-My-Life.webp" alt="How Addiction Began in My Life" width="860" height="484" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/How-Addiction-Began-in-My-Life.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/How-Addiction-Began-in-My-Life-300x169.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/How-Addiction-Began-in-My-Life-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1111. <p>I started drinking in high school, but I didn&#8217;t really begin struggling with substance abuse until I first tried opiates. I grew up in a fairly unhealthy environment with an alcoholic mother and an absent father, so I didn&#8217;t have the best foundation.</p>
  1112. <p>Still, even if I had been raised in a loving home and community, around God-fearing parents who wanted the best for me, I am not sure I would have been able to resist the feeling of opiates and their warm embrace.</p>
  1113. <p>When I was beginning to dabble in drug and alcohol use, I didn&#8217;t have anyone to warn me of the consequences. Even if I did, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have listened. Not only did I not have supportive parents, but the friends I was hanging around with were horrible influences.</p>
  1114. <h3>Losing Control Over the Substances I Loved</h3>
  1115. <p>I lost control of my substance abuse when I first tried heroin. Things got really dark for me after that. With no support system, I fell further and further into the world of heroin. I ended up being homeless and begging for money. My despair at this point knew no bounds.</p>
  1116. <p><a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/letter-to-addiction-saying-goodbye-to-heroin">Being a heroin addict</a> is like being a zombie. There was no life left in my eyes. Following multiple stints in jail, several overdoses, and a complete loss of hope, the idea of being sober seemed unreachable. At this point in my desperation, I was completely powerless. I needed to get to this point before sobriety seemed like something I could attempt, much less have it stick.</p>

  1119. <h2>Living a Rock Bottom Existence</h2>
  1120. <p>For the entire time that I was an addict, I didn&#8217;t want to live a sober life. When you are at <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/what-does-rock-bottom-mean">rock bottom</a> long enough to want to die almost every day, just being desperate all the time is exhausting. At this point, I was forced to recognize what bad shape I was in.</p>
  1121. <p>I never had a fear of death until I started losing people around me. The addicts that I associated with began dropping like flies. Watching them lose their lives made me realize that I wanted to get control of mine. I felt for a long time that what happened in my life didn&#8217;t matter, but I finally had a moment of clarity. I realized that it was possible for me to fix my life and do something good with it.</p>
  1122. <h3>When You Recognize Your Sickness</h3>
  1123. <p><a href="https://nida.nih.gov/publications/drugs-brains-behavior-science-addiction/drug-misuse-addiction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The gift of desperation is one of the big points that is spoken about in recovery.</a> The gift of failure or desperation is defined as the moment when you lose hope in drugs or alcohol. I knew that my heroin addiction was leading me to an early grave, but I denied that fact for as long as I could.</p>
  1124. <p>My addiction had turned me into a desperate person. I was always desperate for more heroin, and when I got it, that desperation was only tempered momentarily. Even when I would shoot up, I knew I couldn&#8217;t be relaxed for too long. I had to make sure that I had enough for my next fix or make sure that I could go somewhere and get more. It was an exhausting life.</p>
  1125. <h2>From Desperation To A Sober Life</h2>
  1126. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24636" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/From-Desperation-To-A-Sober-Life.webp" alt="From Desperation To A Sober Life" width="860" height="503" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/From-Desperation-To-A-Sober-Life.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/From-Desperation-To-A-Sober-Life-300x175.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/From-Desperation-To-A-Sober-Life-768x449.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1127. <p>When I sought help through <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com">Find Addiction Rehabs</a>, I was in very bad shape. When I entered rehab and had to finally begin to work through my issues without drugs and alcohol, I was angry, sad, and depressed.</p>
  1128. <p>However, my feelings of desperation began to soften. For once in my life, I finally felt that I was moving forward in some form or way.</p>
  1129. <h3>Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired</h3>
  1130. <p>The gift of desperation can be a springboard to a successful recovery. When you finally get it through your head and decide that drugs and alcohol won&#8217;t serve you any longer, it&#8217;s a little easier to have faith in the recovery process.</p>
  1131. <p>Building up a strong support system goes a long way as well, or at least it does for me, I have to make that clear. I never could have done it on my own, without a team of people who believe in me, rooting me on as part of the recovery community I once shunned when I was out there, ripping and running each day just to stay well.</p>
  1132. <div class="cta-2" style="margin: 3% 0; background: #fafafa; padding: 2% 0; border-top: #337cba solid 3px; border-bottom: #337cba solid 3px; text-align: center;"><span class="h3" style="font-size: 24px;">Get Drug Detox and Treatment Support Options &#8211; Call Now!</span><br />

  1134. <h3>How to Stay Sober: 24 Hours at a Time</h3>
  1135. <p>I view my sobriety as a second chance at life. The opportunity to live life to the fullest is something I don&#8217;t take for granted. I don&#8217;t want to go back to my old ways, but I know that I have a disease. Even if I&#8217;m doing good in my recovery, I know that I can slip up and go right back to where I was before.</p>
  1136. <p>Today, I know I won&#8217;t use it. I don&#8217;t know about tomorrow or any day after that. I decided a long time ago to <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/step-one-correctly-and-surrender">surrender myself to the path of recovery</a> and recognize that I am powerless against my addiction. That doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m going to fail, either. You can overthink anything, and recovery is one of those things that you can drive yourself crazy about.</p>
  1137. <h2>The Gift Of Desperation Can Be Given To All</h2>
  1138. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24637" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Gift-Of-Desperation-Can-Be-Given-To-All.webp" alt="Gift Of Desperation Can Be Given To All" width="860" height="511" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Gift-Of-Desperation-Can-Be-Given-To-All.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Gift-Of-Desperation-Can-Be-Given-To-All-300x178.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Gift-Of-Desperation-Can-Be-Given-To-All-768x456.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1139. <p>I believe that the gift of desperation is one that can be given to all who are suffering from addiction. I experienced it myself, and I was at a point where I never imagined getting clean would ever happen to me. The information is all out there, and there are so many wonderful people in recovery who are willing to lend a helping hand.</p>
  1140. <p>I am the best version of myself: alive today because I used Find Addiction Rehabs and got sober. Nothing is more important to me than my sobriety, and it&#8217;s a gift I try to give to others if possible. I don&#8217;t <a href="https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/addiction-science/words-matter-preferred-language-talking-about-addiction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overstep my boundaries</a>, but I make it a point to take people under my wing and give them the gift that I was given.</p>

  1163. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Seizing the Chance for Recovery After a Coke Binge</h2>
  1164. <p>My life spiraled out of control once I fell into cocaine addiction. I had abused alcohol and dabbled with other drugs, but cocaine was all-consuming. I tried rehab a few times, but I didn&#8217;t really want to quit. I would tell people that I want to use cocaine until I die.</p>
  1165. <p>When a four-day cocaine binge almost killed me, I finally got so low I wanted help. I got scared of dying, plain and simple. I hoped that there was still a chance for me to get clean, and I found it, just like you can if you or a loved one are struggling with coke.</p>
  1166. <p>I reached out to Find Addiction Rehabs to try and get help, and luckily for me, I was given a second chance at life. My cocaine usage was off the charts, and I really didn&#8217;t know if even the best rehab on the planet would help me. The difference this time is that I actually did want to get clean.</p>
  1167. <p>Keep reading to learn more about my experiences, and how the process of reaching out can work to get support and rehab options for you as well!</p>

  1170. <h3>Do You Really Want to Get Clean?</h3>
  1171. <p>No matter how bad your drug addiction is, if you want to get clean badly enough, sobriety is possible for anybody. I was going from one cocaine binge to another. <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/how-long-does-a-crack-high-last">Smoking crack cocaine</a>, snorting powder cocaine, and even injecting it on occasion. My cocaine use was destroying my life. I lost my job and my wife, yet I still went on my merry way and didn&#8217;t want to quit.</p>
  1172. <p>How bad do you want to get clean? Many addicts go to rehab for other reasons than getting clean. Some want to try and <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/best-ways-to-regain-custody-after-drug-abuse">get custody of their children back</a>. Some want to save a relationship. Nothing will work unless you actually want to get clean for yourself. My addiction was out of control, but I got clean because I wanted it bad enough. If you want it bad enough, keep reading to find out how you can want it for yourself.</p>
  1173. <h2>From Cocaine Abuse to Cocaine Addiction</h2>
  1174. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24630" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction.webp" alt="Cocaine Addiction" width="860" height="509" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction-300x178.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction-768x455.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1175. <p><a href="https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000947.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cocaine is a party drug for a lot of people.</a> It&#8217;s something that you do with your friends going out clubbing or when you&#8217;re out on the town. This is what I thought when I first started using it. We all have different drugs of choice, and for people who choose cocaine as their drug, it immediately goes from being a party drug to an all-day, all-night situation. There&#8217;s nothing social about it once you become addicted.</p>
  1176. <p>My <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/cocaine-addiction">cocaine addiction</a> began as soon as I started dabbling with cocaine. I would go on a cocaine binge and nearly overdose and then have a horrible crash that would last at least two days. The highest highs and lowest lows of cocaine abuse are brutal and cannot be understated. You feel on top of the world and then you feel like you want to die when you come down.</p>
  1177. <h3>The Erratic Behavior of Cocaine Users Like Me</h3>
  1178. <p>My behavior changed drastically when I became a <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/cocaine-addiction/signs-symptoms">cocaine addict</a>. I was a happy-go-lucky person on cocaine, but if I didn&#8217;t have it, the cocaine withdrawal would turn me into a monster. I suffered from seizures, and drastic mood swings and could become aggressive very easily. My family had no idea what was happening at first. They thought I may have developed some kind of mental illness.</p>
  1179. <p>Substance abuse changes you once the drug becomes your number one priority. <a href="https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/cocaine-abuse-and-addiction.page" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cocaine users can&#8217;t exist in everyday life without getting their fix</a> and also knowing where the next one is coming from. If you can&#8217;t find any cocaine and you begin to experience the effects of cocaine withdrawal, nothing else can fill that void. It&#8217;s a living hell that I wouldn&#8217;t wish on anyone.</p>

  1182. <h2>The Effects of A Cocaine Binge</h2>
  1183. <p>Cocaine produces an intense sense of euphoria and you&#8217;ll do anything to keep that feeling going. Once it goes away, the crash is the exact opposite. There aren&#8217;t many physical <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/cocaine-addiction/withdrawal">symptoms of cocaine withdrawal</a>, but the mental aspect is crushing.</p>
  1184. <p>Repeated cocaine use causes a lot of physical harm including increased blood pressure and heart rate. There were times I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest. You are at a higher risk of cardiac arrest and may develop other heart problems should you abuse cocaine for long enough.</p>
  1185. <p><a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/can-you-overdose-on-cocaine">Cocaine-related deaths</a> have also risen due to the surge of fentanyl, which luckily was not everywhere until after I got clean. I am pretty sure with all the overdose deaths occurring, I would have been a statistic rather than a &#8216;sober success story&#8217; (the quotes show you I still am not quite comfortable enough to speak of myself that way, though many in my family have shared this sentiment).</p>
  1186. <h3>Psychological Symptoms of A Cocaine Comedown</h3>
  1187. <p>When I would come down from a cocaine binge, I would become agitated, depressed, and extremely fatigued. I&#8217;ve never felt worse anxiety in my life. Because cocaine is a powerful stimulant, it can make you stay awake much longer than you should.</p>
  1188. <p>When you stay awake for two days, you begin to feel like you are going crazy. You begin to have hallucinations, intense ones that, in my case caused me to both hallucinate and hear voices. The paranoia is intense. These adverse effects and chronic <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/how-long-does-cocaine-stay-in-your-system">toxicity of cocaine in my body</a> drove me absolutely mad. I would pray for sudden death as a form of relief. It got that bad.</p>
  1189. <p>I would suffer from intense cravings, and insomnia and nothing could take my mind off of getting more cocaine. When you are in this cycle, you&#8217;re unable to function on any normal level. Everyone in your life notices the change. Even if your loved ones know nothing about cocaine addiction, they can see the signs very clearly.</p>
  1190. <h2>When Cocaine Addiction Goes Too Far</h2>
  1191. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24631" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction-Goes-Too-Far.webp" alt="Cocaine Addiction Goes Too Far" width="860" height="507" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction-Goes-Too-Far.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction-Goes-Too-Far-300x177.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Cocaine-Addiction-Goes-Too-Far-768x453.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1192. <p>When my family walked out on me, my first thought was now I could use as much cocaine as I wanted and not have to worry about being caught. I went on a two-day cocaine binge, and when I came down, the reality of my situation finally hit me. I didn&#8217;t care about anything but this white powder. This stuff was killing me, but I was in love with it.</p>
  1193. <p>I went through the worst comedown and depression that I have ever gone through. It was all mostly emotional. I realized that I had ruined my life and pushed everyone away. I called my wife dozens of times that day trying to apologize. Ultimately, I realized that I needed to give my family space and begin the process the fix my addiction.</p>
  1194. <h3>Seeking Treatment</h3>
  1195. <p>When you finally decide to seek treatment, every step of the process can be nerve-wracking and overwhelming. There is so much to fix, and it seems impossible once you begin to understand just how intense the process is. The best thing you can do is take it one step at a time. I got in touch with <a href="https://findaddictionrehabs.com">Find Addiction Rehabs</a> and began to look around for a rehabilitation center that would work for my addiction.</p>
  1196. <p>Once I entered treatment, I knew it was going to be a long haul. I needed to take it seriously. There&#8217;s a high potential that you won&#8217;t make it through the process if you aren&#8217;t fully prepared for what&#8217;s to come. I knew it would be uncomfortable. I knew I was going to have to face some of the issues I had run from for all these years. I knew I was going to have to take a look at myself and be honest about the damage I had caused.</p>
  1197. <h3>Drug Abuse and The Mind</h3>
  1198. <p><a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/disorders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The mental game of drug abuse is the hardest part to get through.</a> You can get the drugs out of your body, but getting them out of your mind is a whole other situation. I required intense therapy and needed to keep myself busy in rehab. You can sit and stare at the walls all you want, but you&#8217;re not in prison. You&#8217;re there to actively work through your addiction.</p>
  1199. <p>I participated as much as I could in rehab. I talked to others as much as possible. I talked until my voice was sore. I spilled my guts during my time in rehab, and it was a transformative experience. I had never really opened up to anybody about my feelings and my problems. In rehab, I regurgitated years of baggage. It felt incredible to get it all off of my chest.</p>
  1200. <h2>Avoiding Relapse on the Devil&#8217;s Dandruff</h2>
  1201. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24633" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Go-to-meetings-regularly.webp" alt="Go to meetings regularly" width="860" height="513" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Go-to-meetings-regularly.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Go-to-meetings-regularly-300x179.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Go-to-meetings-regularly-768x458.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1202. <p>In severe cases of cocaine addiction, relapse is always right there under the surface. You can go for long periods of sobriety and slip up easily. I&#8217;ve met people in recovery who had years of sobriety and relapse. It&#8217;s possible for anybody. The best way to avoid relapse is to have a structured routine and keep on top of your recovery. Go to meetings regularly.</p>
  1203. <p>It&#8217;s important to not give in to your reactive mind. We all react impulsively sometimes. We think of saying or doing something dumb at the moment, usually to get some form of instant gratification. You can train yourself to not fall into this pattern and begin to adopt a form of &#8216;slow thinking.&#8217;</p>
  1204. <p>We all have dark thoughts and feelings from time to time, but controlling the way you respond to them is the trick. It doesn&#8217;t mean you don&#8217;t have mental alertness, but rather that you mindfully observe your life and surroundings and react appropriately rather than instinctively. It&#8217;s a skill I work on each day.</p>
  1205. <h3>Common Signs Your Recovery Is In Jeopardy</h3>
  1206. <p>If you fall into a pattern of dark thinking and reacting negatively to everything, you are putting your sobriety at risk. These moments can last for a short period, but all it takes is one weak moment to fall back into your old ways. It can be exhausting at times to constantly keep your mind sharp and catch yourself when you are in these moments, but it is possible if you have the right attitude.</p>
  1207. <p>If you stop going to meetings or talking about your feelings, this can be troublesome as well. I go to several meetings a week even if I feel in tip-top shape. I might think I don&#8217;t need it, but there might be someone at one of these meetings that I can help. It isn&#8217;t always about me. Helping others is a huge part of the recovery process.</p>
  1208. <h2>Get Lasting Recovery from Substance Abuse</h2>
  1209. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24632" src="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Recovery-from-Substance-Abuse.webp" alt="Recovery from Substance Abuse" width="860" height="498" srcset="https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Recovery-from-Substance-Abuse.webp 860w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Recovery-from-Substance-Abuse-300x174.webp 300w, https://findaddictionrehabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Recovery-from-Substance-Abuse-768x445.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px" /></p>
  1210. <p>One of the most important aspects of my recovery is telling my story to others. No one plans to fall into a drug addiction. It sneaks up on you. There is no rhyme or reason for the way that substance abuse recovery works. You can have one really great day and then one really bad day right after. There is a lot of meaning behind the phrase &#8220;one day at a time.&#8221;</p>
  1211. <p>You can&#8217;t prevent bad things from happening in life. Life finds a way to test all of us at various points. How we respond to those tests makes all the difference. If you do find yourself in a situation where you are going down a bad road, there are plenty of ways to get help. Speaking with others in recovery is always a good place to start. It can be the difference between lasting recovery and relapse.</p>
