Substance addiction is a horrible affliction, not only for the person going through it, but for their family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. No one wants to watch someone spiral into the throes of substance abuse and addiction, with no end in sight. It is very difficult to stand on the sidelines and watch this happen to someone you care about, someone you used to know, but it is also very difficult to constructively help them out without feeding their addiction or taking a tough love stance that is very hard to keep up. Many people cannot get themselves clean of opiate addiction despite the best intentions of themselves and their loved ones. When this happens, it may be time to turn to a more aggressive treatment than trying to quit cold turkey. For opiates like heroin, the answer often lies in suboxone treatment.

More and more people are becoming addicted to cocaine and very little even know what they are getting themselves into. The feeling of pleasure blocks their whole reasoning and all they can see is having the drug at all costs. They may not even admit that they have a problem and refuse all possibilities of getting into a substance abuse program. Below we have outlined a few preliminary steps that should be taken before getting them into a drug rehab.

I suppose it comes down to your own, personal preference on what you choose to believe, but increasingly the medical and scientific evidence is supporting the fact that marijuana is not only illegal, but potentially extremely dangerous.

I am a fan of the News Hour on PBS, and recently Elizabeth Farnsworth spoke with Joseph Califano, the President of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA). He shared a rather alarming piece of information regarding marijuana and its relationship to other drugs.
