Lies and Manipulation – The Fallout From Heroin Abuse

Filed under: Media Reports — Tags: — admin @ 2:47 pm

Most people are familiar with the devastating effects of heroin abuse. It is well known heroin is a lethal drug that has the power to take someone’s life in a second. However, what some people do not understand is there are definite signs that a heroin abuse problem exists; signs that are apparent well before the addict reaches the point where they cannot stop.

The two most common indicators a heroin addict will display are lying and manipulation. Because heroin is so addictive and consumes a person’s every thought, they lie to their loved ones to cover up what they are really doing. These lies become bigger and bigger as more time elapses until the person is eventually lying about everything and can no longer tell truth from lies.

Additionally, manipulation is used as an addict’s last, desperate attempt to get what they want. Because of their all-consuming drive to use more and more heroin, they will stop at nothing. Suspected or accused of addiction, finding themselves backed into a corner, they will cry, bargain, beg, plead and make promises of good behavior. When the pressure subsides, or as soon as they get what they want, the addict will revert back to their former ways, continuing their lies and manipulation and enabling the heroin abuse to remain unhandled.

If you or anyone you know exhibits these traits, check for a heroin abuse problem. Insist on effective drug testing to bring the addiction into the open. Follow up with long-term rehabilitation.

Huge Heroin Bust In Chicago

Filed under: Media Reports — Tags: , — admin @ 1:03 pm

A $10,000.00 a day heroin business was taken down this week in Chicago. Authorities found almost 17 pounds of heroin in a drive shaft in a black Jeep Cherokee. Additionally, this is the same car, and the same owner who, a few weeks ago, was found with $250,000.00 floating in the gas tank.

This bust will eliminate a huge market for heroin abuse in the city. But what happens when they get the new shipment in? What happens when a new dealer comes onto the block with a better connection? The flow of heroin may be plugged today, but it won’t last.

The only real way to stop this billion dollar a year business is to eliminate the demand. If we handled the addicts there would be no one buying the heroin in the first place. The only real way to handle a heroin addiction is to enroll in an effective drug rehab. This will allow the addiction to get permanently handled, without the constant need for drugs. Heroin abuse does not have to continue.

Filed under: Media Reports — Tags: , , — admin @ 5:36 pm

While waiting for the school bus on Wednesday morning a first grade boy found what he thought to be candy. It was, in fact, heroin – $1,400 worth of heroin. Officials believe that the heroin was placed there by a drug dealer to be picked up by another drug dealer. The spot was merely  a “drop spot”.

Heroin abuse is extremely dangerous and needs to be handled right away. Although these children didn’t ingest any of the heroin, the outcome could have gone down a real dangerous road.

Hidden Compartments In Vehicles Make Heroin Smuggling Easier

Filed under: Media Reports — Tags: , , — admin @ 12:53 pm

Hidden compartments in cars are the newest way drug traffickers are smuggling drugs. The compartments are becoming very sophisticated and often employ the use of a hydraulic system to make it even harder for police to detect the stash. To make matters worse, the way to open these compartments may be to turn the windshield wipers on and put the car in reverse. All kinds of drugs are being smuggled this way, but mostly it is heroin.

Heroin abuse has escalated to such a high degree that gangs are willing to risk their lives in order to make a profit on the sale of heroin.

Most heroin addicts have no idea how many people are involved in the sale of jut one bag of heroin – all these people making a profit of someone’s deadly addiction. However, in an environment where most of the people are rooting for addiction, there is a way out. Heroin addicts can save their lives by enrolling in a drug and alcohol rehab.

Narconon Louisiana is one of those rehabs that holds a 76% success rate for permanent recovery. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.

How Do I Know If My loved One Needs Rehab For Heroin Abuse?

Filed under: Media Reports — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:51 am

It has been found that some people, after years of heroin abuse, have managed to hide their addiction from the people closest to them. Drug and alcohol abuse hurts not only those using heroin, but family members and loved ones as well and the only way to restore these relationships and handle the substance abuse problem is by identifying the problem and getting the addicted person into a drug rehab.

There are many physical signs of heroin abuse. SOme of these include loss of appetite, or any changes in eating habits, unexplained weight loss, slowed or staggering walk, poor physical condition, awake at unuaual times, unusual laziness, re, watery eyes; pupils smaller than usual; blank stare, cold sweaty palms; puffy face, blushing or paleness, runny nose; needle marks on lower arm, leg or bottom of feet (for IV users), nausea, vomiting or excessive sweating.

Along with physical changes, many people abusing heroin will go through mental and emotional changes as well. SOme of these can include a change in overall attitude/personality with no other identifiable cause, changes in friends new hang-outs; sudden avoidance of old crowd; doesn’t want to talk about new friends; friends are known drug users, change in activities or hobbies, a drop in grades at school or performance at work; skips school or is late for school, a change in habits at home; loss of interst in family and family activities, forgetfulness, general lack of motivation, energy, self-esteem, “I don’t care” attitude, moodiness, irritability, or nervousness, appearing to be unreachable, secretive or suspicious behabior, unexplained need for money, stealing money or items, change in personal grooming habits and posession of drug paraphernalia.

Please note that just because a person exhibits some of these symptoms it does not necessarily mean that are using heroin. A more foolprrog method of drug detection is a drug test that can be purchased at any local pharmacy.

Understanding and being able to see the signs and symptoms of heroin abuse is the first step to correctly assessing this problem and getting the addicted individual on the road to recovery through successful treatment.

Drug abuse does not have to go unhandled. There is a solution. If you or anyone you know is in need of a drug rehab program that gets results contact Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.

New York Pamphlets Aid Users – Not Help Them

Filed under: Media Reports — Tags: , , — admin @ 1:32 pm

A pamphlet aimed at intravenous heroin addicts that is distributed in New York is raising questions regarding its intention and effectiveness. 

The pamphlet is a guide to injecting “safely”, although some people view it as a how-to guide. Readers get tips on what the best way to shoot up is without collapsing veins, how to use a cotton in the cooker – things that make injecting heroin easier and almost normal or ok.

In reality, heroin abuse kills almost 600 people a year in New York and is an epidemic spreading across the country. A how-to guide is not going to handle heroin addiction – an effective drug rehab program will. Instead of focusing our attention and money (New York tax payers paid $32,000.00 to print and distribute these pamphlets) on how to make users more comfortable, we need to focus our attention on getting individuals into rehab.

Rehabilitation for drug or alcohol addiction will save a person’s life. Rehabs like Narconon Louisiana make it possible for addicts to live the life they were always intended, not the life of addiction.

If you or anyone you know is in need of help please contact Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.
