Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is a term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and so-called street drugs such as cocaine, heroin or amphetamines.
The general intent is to enable the patient to cease substance abuse, in order to avoid the psychological, legal, financial, social, and physical consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.
Some characteristics of an addict, especially young adult are:
DEFIANCE * SUBSTANCE ABUSE
* LOW SELF ESTEEM *ADD/ADHD
* FALLING GRADES *BAD PEERS
* MAKING POOR CHOICES
* ENTITLEMENT * MANIPULATION
* ABUSE (sexual and or physical)
* OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER
* CONDUCT DISORDER * RUNNING AWAY
* REACTIVE ATTACHMENT DISORDER
(adoption issues)
* LEARNING DISABILITIES (IEP’S)
* TROUBLE WITH THE LAW
* COMPUTER ADDICTION
If you know someone in similar condition to the above described make sure to advice him to seek a professional help for his problem. You can contact me if you need a recommendation for quality rehab centers
