For someone recovering from an addiction to drugs or alcohol, each sober day is a blessing. However, with each sober day comes the possibility of a relapse. The process of rehabbing from a drug or alcohol addiction involves many steps and staying sober after leaving rehab is one of the most important ones. Addiction treatment centers are designed so that patients maximize the chances of staying sober on the outside. Treatment centers do this through counseling sessions where they try to identify what factors led to that person’s drug addiction in the first place. Let’s say a person was led to drinking or drugs because of stress at work or at home. If that person gets sober, but goes back to the same house and job, then the chance that they relapse is going to be higher. They may have gotten sober, but they’ve done nothing to make a change in the lifestyle that led to drug or alcohol addiction in the first place. Having a support system full of addiction counselors, family members and even other recovering addicts makes a huge difference when someone leaves a treatment facility. The person then knows that they have a long list of numbers to call in case they feel the urge to start using again. A common misconception is that once you’ve detoxed from a substance, the urge to use it again dies down. While this is true over time, the allure of drugs and alcohol is something that a person may never fully overcome. The point of rehab is to give you the tools you need to go against the urge to use and focus your mind on more constructive tasks. People who quit smoking cigarettes often say that the urge to smoke never really goes away, you just getting better and better at saying no.One thing that’s extremely helpful for a recovering addict is getting into a routine. Most people agree that the urge to use comes about more when you’ve got nothing going on. A routine helps keep your mind active, which means you’ll have less time for urges to use. Maybe you go to the gym at the same time after work every day then come home and interact with friends and family. A routine doesn’t have to be strict like it’s the military, but repetition may help keep your mind off substance abuse. If you know someone who is a recovering addict who tends to relapse, contact the Christian Detox Helpline in Appleton, WI as soon as you can. There are trained addiction counselors who can help anyone kick the habit once and for all. ...read more

Slipups are something we all have to deal with, but make a few too many and you’ll be in big trouble. Well-known R&B; singer/songwriter Bobby Brown found particular fact that out the hard way when he was sentenced to 55 days in jail for a drunk driving. Not only was Brown driving drunk, but he was also driving with a suspended license stemming from another DUI. This is the singers third driving under the influence incident since 1996. After the first two, you’d think a person would get that having a few drinks then driving home isn’t a good decision. Especially for a celebrity like Bobby Brown, who without a doubt could have gotten a ride from someone or just called himself a cab. Instead, he decided to drive drunk and it ultimately cost him his status as a free man.Drunk driving is certainly a big problem in America. Every day, regular people and celebrities alike are making the poor choice to drive when they shouldn’t and people are getting sent to jail left and right. The penalties for drunk driving can be life shattering, particularly for the average person who does not have an overabundance of resources at their disposal. The fines are weighty, but the biggest issue usually revolves around someone’s license being suspended for sometimes up to a year. What would happen to you if you lost your license? Could you get to work? Most people don’t live within walking or biking distance from their job so they would need to figure out another way. Taking the bus can be really demoralizing if you’re used to driving your own car.A DUI is one of the most preventable crimes out there. Sometimes a DUI can signal more than just a mistake however. Those who are arrested for drunk driving often have issues with substance abuse. A DUI can point to larger problems like alcoholism or alcohol dependence. In some cases, a DUI is a wake-up call for someone that they need to reconsider the choices they make. Those changes can be difficult to make on your own, so many turn to addiction treatment centers, such as Drug Treatment Help in Appleton, WI, for help. The professional addiction counselors have a patient’s best interests at heart. They understand that addiction can be terribly difficult to overcome, but they know the best treatments to help someone reach sobriety.While Bobby Brown must spend 55 days in the big house, he was also sentenced to four years of probation and compulsory alcohol counseling for almost two years. Jail is definitely a preventive measure for committing a crime like a DUI, but ultimately it will be a fruitful stint in alcohol counseling which will do the most to stop people like Bobby Brown from making the same mistake over and over again. ...read more

New studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to use and abuse prescription drugs than the illegal drugs which are purchased on the street. There are a few reasons for this, but the overwhelming reason is because they can be much easier to obtain. Prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs are prescribed by doctors all over the country. Take a peek inside your own medicine cabinet right now. No really, I’ll wait. What did you find? Drugs like Vicodin, Oxycontin, Kolonopin, and Xanax are readily available to teens and parents have no idea. Prescription drugs are essentially designer drugs, meaning that they are created in laboratories by pharmaceutical company scientists. These drugs are designed to target very specific ailments and they are very powerful. The reason they’ve become so popular among teenagers is because of how powerful they are. The “high” from a painkiller like Oxycodone is incredibly powerful and it’s easy for teens to become addicted.The first step in curbing teen prescription drug abuse is to make sure your prescription medications are in a safe place. The medicine cabinet in the bathroom is NOT a safe place. Not only is it easily available for teens, but really for anyone who comes to your home. You don’t necessarily need to keep them under lock and key (although that would be nice), but as long as they are hidden from plain sight it helps a lot. It’s also important to not advertise that you may have desirable drugs in your home. Burglars are quick to act when they discover that you have valuable medication. Even people who do not use the pills might be interested in them because the fetch such a high price on the streets. Some large dosage painkillers can go for up to $100 per pill.It sounds terrible to say, but grandparents are often the most victimized. As seniors are the most medicated group, they often are targeted for their pills. There are hundreds of robberies across the United States that are fueled by prescription drugs and more often than not, seniors are the victim. Thieves can steal money and other valuables to purchase drugs with, but they can also cut out the middle man by stealing the drugs directly. Prescription drugs are highly addictive and people can become desperate when trying to get them. They are also very dangerous because the risk of overdosing is so high. Users develop a tolerance with long term usage so they need to take higher and higher doses for the effects to be felt. This is what leads to overdosing.If you or someone you know is addicted to prescription medication or other drugs, contact the Christian Detox Helpline in Appleton, WI right away. ...read more
