Drug Detox Programs, Centers and Rehabs

Detoxification is the process of safely getting drugs and alcohol out of your system and can be critical for individuals addicted to Alcohol, Opiates and Prescription Drugs. Abruptly stopping after a long period of abuse can be physically dangerous and should not be attempted without medical supervision. The consequences of drug and alcohol abuse and addiction are chronic and potentially long-term. Working under the influence of controlled substances like drugs and alcohol can cause dangers at both workplace and home by mounting the risk of accidents, impairing health and well being of the user, and diminishing efficiency.

Drug detox centers and alcohol detox programs in hospitals and residential treatment facilities often include medical support structures and the spiritual AA model. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) attempts to deal with the psychosocial and spiritual roots of alcohol and substance abuse problems without dealing with the physical component.

Effective detoxification programs assemble the best available practices for self-care, self-transformation, and self-discovery from the broad realms of yogic and allied disciplines in order to help the user. Such programs are carried out to assist individual in recovering and connecting with spiritual nourishment. Yoga serves the body during its detoxification process and furthermore helps to establish and maintain mental and emotional equilibrium.

A range of new medications based on the results of genetic and neuroscience research involves taking doctor-prescribed, such as disulfiram (Antabuse) or naltrexone (ReVia), Suboxone, Subutex to help prevent relapse to drinking.

CNS Depressants

CNS depressants are substances used to slow down or “depress” the functions of the brain and Central nervous system (CNS) and acts as a solvent to treat anxiety and sleep disorders.

From medication approach, some CNS depressants are useful and commonly prescribed for various purposes such as:
Barbiturates like mephobarbital (Mebaral) and pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal), are used to treat anxiety, tension, and sleep disorders. Benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium), chlordiazepoxide HCl (Librium), and alprazolam (Xanax), too are used to treat anxiety, acute stress reactions, and panic attacks, while benzodiazepines such as triazolam (Halcion) and estazolam (ProSom) are prescribed for short-term treatment of sleep disorders.

However, excess intake of CNS depressant creates sedative effect and cause drowsiness as they act on the human brain by affecting the neuro transmitter Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (GABA), the brain chemicals that aid communication between brain cells. This in rank decreases the brain activity thereby producing drowsiness.

Long-term usages of these substances make the body develop tolerance for the drugs, resulting in intake of larger doses and users who plan to endure medication for rebound may face difficulties and race out of control, perhaps leading to seizures and other harmful consequences. Such withdrawals from extended use of other CNS depressants can even have life-threatening complications. Therefore, people should take CNS depressants only when prescribed by a doctor or other healthcare professionals.
