Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- The first growing addiction Prominence Treatment Center posted about was smoking alcohol. Smoking alcohol is a new method of consuming alcohol, primarily among a younger demographic.
Individuals who smoke alcohol vaporize alcohol with dry ice or air pumps and then inhale the vapors. The vapors bypass your body’s normal path of processing alcohol and goes straight to your lungs and brains. This causes an individual to become intoxicated much more quickly.
The main reason smoking alcohol is dangerous is because there is no way to gauge the amount of alcohol that’s being ingested. A few seconds of smoking alcohol could result in the same consumption of alcohol someone might occur in a few hours of normal drinking. Therefore the likelihood of alcohol poisoning increases.
The second addiction that Prominence Treatment Center blogged was fast growing was prescription co-codamol. The primary danger with co-codamol is that it’s considered a safer prescription pain medication, compared to oxycodone and vicodin.
However, in the past decade, prescriptions for the drug have doubled to about 15 million a year. Women are the primary victims of this new opiate addiction, often not knowing they’ve become addicted. Women reported that they had forgotten they had pain but continued to take the pills. The desire for pills was no longer pain reduction but rather the warm, fuzzy feeling the pills gave the women.
Prominence Treatment Center is a leader in drug and alcohol addiction treatment. While treating addiction is their business, knowing and helping prevent addiction is an important to the Prominence Treatment Center team.
Prominence Treatment Center welcomes anyone to call their toll free number to further discuss these two new addictions. If you or someone you know might be smoking alcohol or becoming addicted to co-codamol, it’s important to talk with a trained professional who can help outline your options.
