Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) June 27, 2013
Journey Healing Centers (http://journeycenters.com) wants to raise awareness that whilst alcohol and prescription drugs are legal, both can be deadly. Alcohol (#1) and prescription drug abuse (#two) have consistently been the two leading factors why Journey Healing Centers clientele seek therapy. Numerous are below the false impression that these legal drugs are harmless, and its time for far more education to raise awareness of the dangers.

Numerous dont realize that binge drinking is a massive dilemma in the US, and far fewer realize the long-term well being risks it can lead as well. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), binge drinking is four+ drinks for females and 5+ drinks for men inside 2 hours. While no one is specific what triggered James Gandolfini to have a heart attack and die at the young age of 51, the actor allegedly had 8 drinks in the course of his final meal and was in and out of rehab for years, generating lengthy-term harm to the body as a most likely contributor.

Alcohol can result in lengthy-term damage to the liver, kidneys, brain, pancreas, and immune method. Alcohol abuse can also lead to a lot of sorts of ailments and situations, such as depression, neuropathy, diverse kinds of cancer, arthritis, heart attack, and stroke.

Along with alcohol abuse, there is a US epidemic of prescription drug abuse that is the second prime driver for therapy at Journey Healing Centers. Dr. Ravi Chandiramani, Journey Healing Centers Medical Director observes, “The restricted and uncoordinated efforts at stemming this disturbing trend have completed small to nothing at all to decrease the numbers of people looking for treatment at JHC facilities. Chemical dependency of alcohol and prescription medicines continues to bring the vast majority of men and women to our doorstep. These legally procured substances are nonetheless responsible for breaking up households destroying the lives, hopes and dreams of these who endure from addiction to these substances. Additionally, the grip of this disease does not discriminate with regard to sex, educational level, cultural background or socioeconomic status. Once it gains a reputable foothold, addiction will take from you all that you hold dear until your priority is singular..continue to feed the addiction or die!”

In full contrast to several physicians who create prescriptions way as well very easily, the licensed doctors and therapists at Journey Healing Centers focus on how to get consumers off prescriptions so they leave remedy on minimal medications.

When a person gets addicted to painkiller medicines (Vicodin, Methadone, OxyContin and Opana), it is often required to go to a diverse physician than the one who prescribed the medication to program a supervised withdrawal. If necessary, Journey Healing Centers sends customers to a health-related detox center where the individual can go through a monitored withdrawal from these potent medicines.

Along with painkillers, “legal speed” in the United States is being driven by our “achievement at all costs” culture. It is the perception that a college education guarantees a great job, earning power and happiness, causing many college students to take Adderall in the course of finals. The U.S. contributes to four percent of the world’s population, but made 2/three of the worlds Adderall in 2010. And in 2013, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) authorized production of 189 tons of legal speed (Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, and so on.) or 544 milligrams for every man, woman and child living in the U.S.

The initial step in getting loved ones back is education and awareness of these legal drug abuse problems. While no 1 will go to treatment till prepared, everyone can commence conversations about the US culture and worth systems driving these legal drug addictions. Whilst senators have proposed the STOPP Act, alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse is so out of control that it will take massive education, family help and action to adjust these statistics. “The bill will demand the FDA to refuse to approve any new pharmaceuticals that did not use formulas resistant to tampering. Although a step in the right direction, far a lot more aggressive action will undoubtedly be required if we are to see a bonafide reduction in chemical dependency to legally procured substances in this nation,” says Dr. Ravi Chandiramani.
