Irving Drug Detox Launches Program Toward Reducing Use of Hallucinogens in Substance Abuse
Irving, TX (PRWEB) December 25, 2013 -- An Irving drug detox center is launching a new program aimed at stopping the harrowing abuse of hallucinogens by adults and adolescents through connecting with Drug Addiction Treatment Centers.
According to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, "In 2012, there were 1.1 million persons aged 12 or older who had used hallucinogens for the first time within the past 12 months. This estimate was similar to the estimates for 2002, 2004 to 2008, and 2011 (ranging from 0.9 million to 1.2 million). However, this estimate for 2012 was higher than the 2003 estimate (886,000) and was lower than the estimates in 2009 and 2010 (1.3 million and 1.2 million, respectively)."
Hallucinogens, taken obsessively and in high-volume amounts, have a tendency to cause serious problems with an individual's mental, physical and emotional state. The drug detox center in Irving starts to fix those areas with detoxification.
Withdrawal symptoms may include nausea, muscle aches, cold sweats, increasing heart rate, increased blood pressure, irritability, and anxiety. These symptoms can even become life-threatening ones – suicidal ideation, delirium tremens (DTs), stroke, heart attack or even death – to an individual. That’s why 24-hour supervision under a detox center’s guiding watch makes more sense.
Once an adult or adolescent has gone through drug detox, their physical bodies are ready for the next phase. Cravings for their substance of choice will remain, yet there is hope. This is where counseling and therapeutic methods come into play.
Men, women and teens might find themselves caught in a web of addiction. For instance, drugs like cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana could be a problem. Drug Addiction Treatment Centers can lead a person into a promised land of healing, hope and recovery.
