Replacement Medication May Not Be The Solution

Friday, August 13th, 2010

When dealing with an alcohol addiction some people sometimes resort to drugs like Antabuse. This medication makes the person physically sick if they consume alcohol within up to a week of taking antabuse. While this may seem like the miracle drug for sobriety, most have found that this is just not the case.

People resort to drugs and alcohol because they have some problem in life that they cannot handle. Drugs and alcohol are a solution for that problem. When someone relies on drugs like antabuse they quickly realize that their problems are still there. So, while they may not be drinking, they are still not happy.

It is vital to realize that just because someone cannot drink does not mean that they do not want to drink, or are not constantly thinking about drinking.

The only real way to handle an alcohol addiction, or any other addiction is to enroll in an effective drug rehab. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for an alcohol addiction please call a drug and alcohol counselor immediately.

Alcohol Being Marketed for Children?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

These days most teenagers will admit that they drink with their friends on the weekends or at parties. Alcohol companies are well aware of this fact and have begun a campaign geared towards underage drinkers.

Alcopops (alcoholic lollipops) and energy drinks with alcohol have found a market with underage teens, usually girls. This way of consuming alcohol is appealing to younger people because they cannot taste the alcohol. If you notice, most people in bars are not sucking on alcopops or drinking Sparks, because it’s not the crowd for that. 

Alcohol abuse among children is quite common, most of them are binge drinkers (five or more drinks in one night). In order to really handle an alcohol addiction people need to enroll in a drug rehab program. Please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
