What Are the Symptoms of Alcoholic Addiction?

• Shaking hands
• Chronic diarrhea
• Poor health
• Yellowish skin tone
• Abdominal fluids
• To determine whether or not an individual is
  addicted to alcohol, keep them away from drinking
  an alcoholic substance for a while. They will
  begin to exhibit withdrawal symptoms within just
  a short time. Also, alcohol addicts have a high
  tolerance for alcohol which means such person
  have to take as much alcohol as possible to reach
  a certain stage of highness. They resort to
  drinking alcohol for longer periods than other
  people irrespective of other commitments they may
  have.

Alcohol Addiction - Care and Treatment Tips

• There are many effective treatment options for
  alcohol addiction. But for the treatment to be
  highly effective, then the individual will have
  to show commitment and dedication to quit
  drinking. Failure to show the desire to quit will
  make any alcohol addiction treatment of choice
  less effective. Theyll have to eradicate
  completely anything related to alcohol from their
  home. By doing this, they might not feel tempted
  to consuming alcohol. For some, they can get rid
  of alcohol addiction on their own and for others,
  they need to consult professional help. Alcohol
  addiction treatment centers will help find
  lasting solutions to the withdrawal symptoms that
  accompany alcohol addiction.

Alcohol Rehab Programs for Busy Professionals

• Outpatient treatment is one or part of the
  rehabilitation program involved in the treatment
  of alcohol addiction. However, this treatment is
  diverse and it offers an opportunity to be
  outside the faculty whilst receiving treatments.
  As required, the healthcare giver will be
  assigned to you and you must be actively involved
  in therapy sessions that will aid recovery.
  Ultimately, you will do these within the confines
  of your home.
• By choice, you can combine the outpatient
  treatment with in-house treatment such that you
  can enter the detox phase within the facility.
  Although, you will have to be absent from work
  for a good number of times. But this doesn't
  compare to the long duration of time outside the
  office which inpatient treatment method will
  require from you.
• Accelerated rehab is a complete rehabilitation
  program which requires less time than the actual
  rehab program itself. It may be said that this
  process 'cuts corners' but neither its success
  nor failure has been registered yet. Therefore,
  it may be risky to get registered for an
  'accelerated rehab' without being aware of the
  full program. Rehab programs are lengthy for a
  reason, accelerated rehab will only translate to
  a temporary fix especially when key steps are
  skipped..

Cocaine Addiction Symptoms, Effects and Treatment

• Cocaine addiction treatment programs
• The major aim of cocaine addiction treatment
  programs is abstinence or shielding the addict
  away from the drug. It is important to note that
  cocaine rehabs will only start addiction
  treatment programs if it is observed that the
  drug used is interfering with the day to day
  activities of such victim.
• The first thing at the cocaine rehabs is
  cleansing of the addict's body of the toxins
  overdose in the system. This may take between
  four to ten months after intervention by a
  cocaine detox center. The actual treatment takes
  place once the body mechanism and chemicals come
  back to normal.
• This is followed by cocaine addiction treatment
  programs that reduce or eradicates the cravings.
  Finally, cocaine addiction treatment centers in
  achieving the set goal use methods such as
  counseling, family therapy, psychotherapy,
  education about drug abuse and addiction,
  acupuncture, and relaxation training as part of
  the treatment. These may or may not require
  hospitalization, and is individual-specific.

Crack Addiction No Longer a 'Cheap' High

• Like cocaine, addiction to crack comes with many
  side effects ranging from physical to mental
  depending on the level of severity. The commonest
  problems are seen in the cardiovascular system.
  High blood pressure and increased heart rate
  often result in dilated pupils, anxiety, and
  reduced mental alertness. In addition to that,
  sleeplessness and cold flashes are felt. In more
  severe cases, psychosis and paranoia are the
  grand players of the day.
• Increased ingestion of crack builds up the
  persons resistance to the deadly substance. You
  will find out that if two persons take the same
  amount of crack, there is a tendency that one
  person will feel the effect more than the other.
  Thus, the less affected person resorts to
  increased dosage.
• The effect of crack, in some cases, can be
  treated. This is why some parts of Canada have
  addiction treatment centers whose main focus is
  to treat crack addicts. Crack withdrawal symptoms
  are physical and psychological pain felt in the
  process of detoxification.

Crack Addiction No Longer a 'Cheap' High

• During the period of treatment, the addict is
  taught to control the urge for the substance. The
  level of temptation may be tested by trying to
  lure them with an amount of crack. When this
  individual reaches a point where he can resist
  the urge to snort crack, it is stated that the
  success rate is high.
• Most importantly, crack addicts require a high
  level of support and engagement to be rid of the
  addiction. Treatment centers offer guidance and
  counseling that can effectively help the addict
  to overcome the problem of addiction.
