Heroin Drug Rehab

54 children died in San Diego from 2008 to 2009 from heroin overdoses. This exceeds the 17 that died last year from the same drug. Why are so many children dying from this harmful narcotic? One reason is probably because not enough parents are enrolling their children in a drug rehab to handle their heroin addiction.

The only real way to combat this terrifying and deadly addiction is to get someone in a long-term, inpatient facility. One such rehab is Narconon Louisiana. They have been handling heroin addicts for over four years and maintain a 76% success rate for permanent recovery.

If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a drug and/or alcohol addiction please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.

In the lst two years there have been 21 deaths among teenagers because of their addiction to “cheese”. “Cheese” is a combination of Mexican black tar and crushed over-the-counter pills like Tyleno P.M.s. Drug dealers are marketing this deadly form of heroin to teens who are more likely to experiment with something that they can snort rather than inject. Another reason why this drug is so temting to teens is because it is so cheap. Children can purchase a gram of cheese for as little as $10.

Unfortunately teens seem to be embracing this new drug trend. Recently, during a drug ed lecture given to an auditorium full of middle school children, ther presenter explained that the United States has the most drug users in the world – that comment was met with applause and cheering.

The only way to save these children is to enroll them in a long-term, effective drug rehab. While they may think that they are not heroin addicts, because they’re using “cheese”. The reality is that they are heroin addicts and they will eventually begin to use purer forms of heroin, possibly through a needle. For those who are currently struggling with a heroin addiction, they can attest to the fact that in the beginning they thought they had their habits under control.

Heroin addiction goes hand in hand with crime. While bags of heroin are relatively cheap, usually $10/bag, a person’s habit often times skyrockets very quickly and they end up having to spend over $100/day. Heroin addiction also makes it hard for people to work. This is mostly because heroin withdrawals are so great that it makes it almost impossible to function in a normal environment. The withdrawal symptoms from heroin include; bone aches, insomnia, vomiting, nausea, hot and cold flashes, chills and sweating. One way that heroin addicts have found to fend off those withdrawal symptoms is to steal or commit other crimes in order to obtain the drug.

As most people would assume, a person who is constantly involved in illegal activities will end up in jail but is that really the best solution? While jail handles the immediate threat of more crimes being committed, it does not handle the person’s addiction. In fact, most people begin using either in jail, or as soon as they get released.

The only real way to handle a drug and alcohol addiction is to enroll in a longterm, drug rehab. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.

While officials have noticed the increase in teen heroin abuse, parents are a little slower to catch on. While it’s easy to remember back when you were a kid and the kinds of drugs that were available and the kinds of drugs your friends were using, that is quite different now. Instead of sneaking off to smoke marijuana, kids are sneaking off to do a shot of heroin.

Heroin laced with fentanyl is often times a lethal combination. Fentanyl is most often used by doctors for anesthesia or pain management in cancer patients. Lately drug trafficking organizations have began mixing heroin with fentanyl to improve the potency of the heroin. However, this new mix of heroin is providing more than a good buzz, it’s killing its users.

A recent news story involving a heroin addict in search of a better high has caught the attention of many people – because what they are seeing is the limitless lengths drug and alcohol addiction will take someone. 

In 2008, scrub tech Kristen Parker was caught with needles in her pocket. She was fired immediately. What investigators later found out was that she had been stealing fentanyl filled needles, injecting them, and replacing the used needles back on the carts for patients to use. In addition to this, Parker was positive for Hepatitis C. It is suspected that at least 35 patients have been infected by Hepatitis C from using the dirty needles left behind by Kristen Parker.

Effective rehab for heroin addiction would have prevented this tragedy from ever occurring. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.

Unlike most rehabs, Narconon Louisiana does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what problems drugs were a solution for. Once that problem is isolated and handled, clients no longer feel the need to resort to drugs as a way to get through life.
