Narconon of Georgia  

This article in CNN news talks about other things, but it is of interest that Rush promotes that drug treatment helped him to learn more about himself than he would have otherwise.

Reducing the stigma of Oxycontin abuse, a bit by his otherwise conservative life and views he has opened the door for other drug abusers to approach drug treatment as a matter of fact learning experience.

No matter the drug – heroin, methamphetamine, Xanax or proponol the world is learning that it is not just the abusers that have a lot to learn.

"Limbaugh also said grateful for the prescription drug addiction that forced him into treatment six years ago.

"I actually thank God for my addiction," he said. "I learned more about myself in rehab than I would have ever learned otherwise."'

LSD Facts from the Atlanta Recovery Center.

LSD is not something people hear much about. While other drugs have taken headlines, and many are routinely portrayed in the news, LSD, not very publicized, is still used by many to get high. The Atlanta Recovery Center Drug Rehab in Georgia warns that its use is still widespread.

While originally used in the 1940’s and 1950’s as a research tool in studies of mental illness, and once marketed as a cure from everything from criminal behavior, alcoholism, sexual perversions, and a wide range of other illnesses, LSD has no legitimate medical use in treatment, and is classified as such by the FDA. Although the study of LSD and other hallucinogens increased the awareness of how chemicals could affect the mind, its use in psychotherapy largely has been debunked. It produces no aphrodisiac effects, does not increase creativity, has no lasting positive effect in treating alcoholics or criminals, does not produce a “model psychosis,” and does not generate immediate personality change.

During the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, the drug culture adopted LSD as the “psychedelic” drug of choice. This lasted for a number of years until considerable negative publicity emerged on “bad trips”- psychotic psychological traumas associated with the LSD high. Bad trips included seeing one’s teeth fall out, feeling one was falling into glass shards, among other hallucinations.

“Special K” Deadly Club Drug.

Many youngsters believe these are safer than “hard” drugs such as cocaine or heroin, but they would be wrong. In some cases, dead wrong.

Ketamine is a prescription drug that is probably not been heard of by many people, but among young people going to parties and raves, the drug, called by many “Special K”, is widely known and has dangerous side effects.

The Atlanta Recovery Center Drug Rehab in Georgia reports that this “fun” drug is not fun at all, and its abuse can lead to serious injury and death.

Ketamine is a drug used legally as an anesthetic. The brand names it is sold as are Ketanest®, Ketaset®, and Ketalar®, and comes in a clear liquid and a white or off-white powder form. As a tranquilizer and anesthetic, Ketamine is most commonly used on animals, but illegally, the liquid form is injected, consumed in drinks, or added to smokable materials, while the powder form can also be used for injection when dissolved.

This article brings excellent news – not only that our roads are 25% safer, but that there is a way to actually control impaired or drunken driving.  It seems that so many reports regarding substance abuse simply point out growing problems.  Rarely do we see reports about something that is actually working.

Great news and good model.

"There have been 23-percent fewer alcohol-related truck crashes per mile in the U.S. since commercial truck drivers were required to submit to alcohol testing beginning in 1995, Reuters reported Oct. 1.

In fact, the rate of alcohol-related crashes resulting in fatalities is now about the same among commercial truckers as it is among commercial pilots. The rate of fatal crashes per mile traveled for motor carriers has "decreased significantly," according to researcher Guohua Li of Columbia University."

Facts About Alcohol Abuse.

TV commercials to the contrary, alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse are problems that face this society at every level. What are some statistics on alcohol addiction to date?

The Atlanta Recovery Center Drug Rehab in Georgia released these facts about alcohol abuse:

• More money is spent on alcohol advertising than on any other product.  (What most people forget is that alcohol is the most widely abused drug on the planet.)

• Alcohol addiction is one of the toughest to overcome, especially with televisions making alcohol look tasty, sensuous, sexy, or even smart.  (The irony here is that if you have a drunken person, they are none of these things.  How is a stumbling and slurring person who has had too much to drink sexy or smart?)

• The statistics of alcohol abuse are that it leads to permanent damage of vital organs, several different types of cancer, gastrointestinal irritations, nausea, diarrhea, ulcers, malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies, sexual dysfunctions, high blood pressure, and lowered resistance to diseases.  (They don’t tell you these things in their commercials.)
