Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 06, 2014 -- A Chicago alcohol and drug rehab center is announcing that it has launched an effort toward reducing prescription drug abuse through Drug Addiction Treatment Centers.

According to statistics from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 7.6 percent of 12th-graders used Adderall, 7.6 percent used Vicodin, 5.3 percent used tranquilizers, 4.8 percent used Hallucinogens, 4.5 percent used Sedatives, and 4.3 percent used OxyContin. The classes of prescription drugs most commonly abused are opioid pain relievers, such as Vicodin or Oxycontin; stimulants for treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), such as Adderall, Concerta, or Ritalin; and central nervous system (CNS) depressants for relieving anxiety, such as Valium or Xanax.1

With an ever-increasing focus upon alcohol and drug addiction, Alcohol & Drug Rehab Chicago understands that there is a deep need for making help available to those in need.

In many ways, alcoholism touches an individual's life. Alcohol rehab makes sure people get the help they want in order to change their lives. Rehab offers real, effective treatment that instructs adults and adolescents about life skills. Alcohol and drug addiction can affect anyone, no matter of their age, race, or economic background.

Initially, clients will enter a period of detoxification that rids the body of chemical substances. This entire process is supervised Alcohol & Drug Rehab Chicago's medical staff. Our prescription drug detox program fundamentally decreases the physical effects caused by the withdrawal from prescription drugs. Taking time to identify just what addiction is and defining it is a vital first step to recovery.

Our alcohol and drug rehab reviews a person’s individual history, looking back at family life, environment and peers. These areas offer important ideas that, when thoroughly reviewed, can help place a finger on where a person’s dependence upon drugs started.
