Narconon Handles Prescription Drug Abuse

Narconon is providing solutions for the growing prescription drug abuse problem.

Prescription drug abuse fills press headlines.  Celebrity names like Michael Jackson, who died of overdose according to preliminary findings of the LA coroner, along with Anna Nicole Smith, DJ AM and Actor Heath Ledger all died of prescription drug overdoses. With this many recent well known prescription drug deaths, it would seem of some importance for us to have a better awareness of the dangers of prescription drug abuse. 

 

Prescription drugs are more and more mass marketed with encouragement to get drugs with the often chimed phrase, "Ask your doctor, if (the now advertised drug) is right for you".  As a result, doctors are more and more looked to not so much as healers but as purveyors of medical drugs. Celebrities, Actors, Athletes also promote drugs in various ways, if merely by the fact it's promoted to our youth that they take drugs.

 

The celebrities above as well as other stellar names, like radio show host Rush Limbaugh, who also battled prescription addiction, didn't start out seeking to get hooked. So what is addiction and how does one get hooked?

 

According to Narconon Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation and Education Centers, addiction is defined as a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences.

 

Many drugs today are extremely addictive and in many cases, the cycle of addiction begins with a problem, discomfort or some form of emotional or physical pain.

 

“In every patient we see, there is some type of problem or issue that has led them into the addiction in the first place,” says Erica Catton Director of Promotion for Narconon. “But the mechanics behind it is that by helping to bring these problems to the surface and giving the person skills to handle them, they then won’t have to go back to using drugs as a solution to a problem. They can be free from addiction."
