Drug Rehab Warns of the Economic Expense of Drug Addiction

Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia warns that in these economic times, one thing you don’t want is a problem with drug addiction in you or in a family member.

“While we tighten our belts and button down the hatches, there is another measure that we need to take during this time of economic strain – lock up the medicine cabinet,” comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director of Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia.

“The medicine cabinet sits quietly in our bathroom and looks innocent enough. However, its ingredients portend for the future of the family it belongs to.  If the contents are used correctly then there can be good health and resultant productivity.  It the contents of the medicine cabinet wind up in the wrong hands it can be very expensive in terms of health and finance.”

Kids today are finding it easy to get mind altering drugs from the family medicine cabinet.  Sometimes they bring some to school for their friends and sometimes they take a mixture of what they find.  Once they become drug addicted and the pills at home run out, the expense really begins.   These kids will be surprised to learn that the drug they are now addicted to can sell for as much as fifty to hundred dollars a pill on the street.  Not being versed at robbery but driven by addiction, they will often choose to steal from their own family. 

The expenses start to mount up.  The next expense hopefully will be a drug rehab and if it works, that is the end of it.  But there is always the chance that the cops will find the addict before treatment and lawyers can cost a lot of money.  A bond usually requires that someone put their house up.   Health consequences of drug abuse cost money and cut productivity.  Less often the grim reaper comes but that happens too with prescription medication and is the most expensive consequence of all.

A lot of this can be prevented with every family locking up their medicine cabinet.  If all the cabinets are locked then no one will have any to give out at school or at a party. “Pharm parties will be a thing of the past.”  It will save money and more importantly, it will save lives.

Ride out the recession safely and effectively.  Button up the hatches, tighten your belt and lock up that medicine cabinet.
