Addiction and Drug Use
I see all to often in my private practive that individuals feel they might have a problem with drugs and or alcohol but minimize the problem and tend to blame everyone else but themselves for their pattern of use. It is vital for individuals to seek a therapist that is knowledgable in the area of addiction therapy so that they can educate the clients in the difference between the stages as it relates to the progression (use, misuse, abuse and addiction). Without understanding these stages, a client may be lost and unaware that they are in full blown addiction or close to it by being a heavy user. It's all about bring awareness to the use and allowing the client while working in a collaborative method with their therapist, to come to the realization on their own. You cannot convince an addict or full blown alchoholic that they have a problem unless you as the therapist are careful in guiding them to see the patterns and increased use over a period of time and they are rea...

Littlest addicts have a rough start in life
What are the dangers to the infant when the mother is drug dependent during pregnancy? What happens to these babies after they are born? We spoke to experts who deal with drug dependent mothers and their babies, to find out what the future holds for them.
Danger in the womb
From the moment of conception, the developing baby is susceptible to harm from being exposed to the drugs and/or alcohol in the mother’s system. As the baby develops, he can be affected by the substances his mother abuses, and the baby may suffer withdrawal symptoms. A study by Stephen Patrick, M.D., MPH, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (reported online in the Journal of the American Medical Association) found that the number of mothers using opiates at the time of delivery rose five-fold during the period between 2000 and 2009. This is a problem that is affecting more and more babies each year.

Treating Teens for Substance Abuse
Treatment professionals have only recently recognized that substance-abuse treatment programs for adolescents cannot simply be scaled-down versions of adult programs. Adolescents are not simply “little adults.”
Unlike their adult counterparts, adolescents in treatment have more family difficulties, are more likely to have psychological problems, and are more likely to have attempted suicide. Their alcohol and drug-use patterns are also different. Teens tend to abuse multiple substances, while adults are more singular in their focus.
The path to hitting a “bottom” is also different. For adults, entry into treatment is usually heralded by loss of job are family, chronic medical problems, and/or encounters with the law. The “red flags” for adolescents are more subtle and revealed in school performance, peer relationships, and interactions within family of origin, as well as involvement with the judicial system.
For most teens, referral to treatment is...
Ask and Ye Shall Receive
The act of getting everything that you've ever wanted is unbelievably simple. All you have to do is ask. That's right, just ask. You can ask God-Some people call this praying or the universe or the Cosmic Joker. Who you ask is not as important as (1) that you do indeed ask and (2) what you ask for. I like to keep it simple : I ask for good health for myself, friends and family and for quality time with my family (and friends); food on my plate and a roof overhead-okay I will come clean and say that my latest request is fuller, thicker hair-but don't tell anyone! What would you ask for if you could have anything you wanted and what is stopping you from doing it?

DANGERS OF PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS
By: Lisa Moretti
April 18, 2013
!-->The lure of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) is seductive; everyone wants to find that special “something” that gives them the competitive edge. But that minute of glory can come at a huge price. We’ve seen athletes like Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones and Roger Clemens publicly shamed and stripped of their glory for their use of PEDs. But the darker side of drugs and doping is that those secret “sauces” are devastating to the body and some are even life threatening.
Catching Bodies Downstream
We are astounded when athletes (both professional and amateur) die young from diseases like kidney or heart failure or liver atrophy. Few people connect the dots to realize that PEDs overtax the body to the point where it gives out early. For those who don’t die, they can be left lingering in a lifetime of dialysis, cancers, pain and bodily breakdown. Along with the physical deva...
Help! My teens drug addiction is destroying our family
Being a teenager in todays society is hard enough with all of the added societal pressure, demands to suceed in school, peer pressure from others, dealing with parents who are divorced, blended families, etc. Often times the pressure becomes so great that our teens fall victim to drug use and what may start out as experimentation quickly turns to abuse, and then full blown addiction. So how does this affect or destroy the family? Most parents are in denial early on in the teens experimental stage and may just think their teen is acting moody or that due to hormones they are disrespectful, avoidant, etc. Most often it starts out with grades dropping, your teen spending less time at home or isolating when he is home, poor communication, lashing out in anger towards others and many other signs. Parents wear blinders and dont want to imagine that their teen could be using drugs so they don't ask the tough questions. Parent then find themselves walking on eggshells because the teen has beco...
