These days, individuals are barraged with all kinds of drugs to use and abuse and drug addiction is not just a factor with illegal street drugs. Whilst rates of illegal street drug use have remained relatively steady and some are most definitely on the rise, more modern designer substances and medical drugs are also seeing extremely high rates of misuse. There are powerful synthetic drugs such as "bath salts" which can be bought legally in some states and bring about severe and deadly effects, or Ecstasy and GHB which are widely used and can be easily obtained in nightclubs and party scenes around the nation. Instances of prescription drug abuse, particularly prescription narcotics, show a very evident issue that has spun out of control and with a number of serious consequences.

So a person who hasn't experienced this may ask oneself why a person would permit alcohol and drug use overtake their lives regardless of all of the damaging effects they and other individuals will experience. Men and women who use drugs or alcohol either in social settings or on a casual basis or as what they consider at the time is the remedy to a problem can all too easily become reliant and addicted to their drugs of choice. Their drug use then becomes a viscous cycle which can be very challenging if not impossible to end alone, leaving one as a prisoner to their drug use . Quite a few lives have been lost as a result of drug addiction, and history and statistics have proven that it can occur with anybody. Children as young as 9 and 10 are experimenting with marijuana, toxic inhalants and prescription drugs they are getting out of their home's medicine cabinets. Senior adults are abusing drugs and alcohol at rates which are higher than their younger counterparts in this Country. It is an issue which can only be addressed in a proven drug rehab in Portsmouth or the surrounding areas.

As the person detox's, it is not uncommon to encounter both physical and psychological drug or alcohol withdrawal. These symptoms can differ in severity and how long they last, based on their drug of choice. Some symptoms of withdrawal can be extremely unpleasant and even agonizing, and some could result in extreme depression or can even be life threatening. Whatever the case may be, it is important that individuals never attempt to detox themselves due to the serious nature of the detox process and problems which may arise which they may not be able to handle on their own.
