Tolerance and withdrawal from drugs

Tolerance and withdrawal from drugs, do the research!

Did you know that most abused drugs are not only mentally addictive but physically addictive as well? Over time, tolerance is built up to almost all drug use. More and more of the drug is needed to achieve the desired effect.It happened very quickly for me with crack and I know this happens to everyone else as well. As the body physically adjusts to the abusers drug of choice, trying to cut down or stop is unpleasant or even painful. This is most common with Heroin, Barbiturates (Benzos), and Alcohol. These withdrawal symptoms, depending on the drug, can include shakes, chills, severe aches and pains, difficulty sleeping, agitation, depression, and even hallucinations or psychosis. Many addicts would rather continue to use than have to face the pain and uncomfortableness of withdraw. Avoiding this withdrawal adds to the urgency of keeping up drug abuse and increases the dependence on the drug. Its important to know what the risks are associated with your drug as you go through withdrawals. For example, there are two drugs that can cause death during withdrawal. These are alcohol and benzos. The abusers of these two drugs should seek treatment while trying to break their dependence from them. All others are extremely unpleasant but can be dealt with outside a medical facility.

Any attempt to go through “withdrawal” yourself or for your child should involve proper research. Get the facts beforehand, this will make the attempt more successful and might save your child’s life.
