Created in Germany in 1912, the drug technically known as MDMA, widely known today as “ecstasy”, gained popularity in the late ’80’s and early 90’s through the underground dance club or “Rave” scene. Up until this point a relatively unknown substance used in secret tests by the military for psychological warfare during the 50’s and by “hippies” seeking “enlightenment” during the early 70’s, little was known about this substance, it’s lasting long term effects, or how to treat it’s abuse. Specialized ecstasy rehab is not common in most drug and alcohol treatment centers. Therefore, drug treatment center statistics for ecstasy rehab and treatment are few. This is more than likely due to the applications and singular objective of the data by compiled by the military and behavioral scientists from which the majority of previous research information was obtained. While recent studies have helped researchers gain solid evidence and statistics concerning the risks and effects of ecstasy use, there is still not much known about the long term effects of it’s recreational use and the dangers of it’s abuse. For those who research the effects of ecstasy rehab, residents are the easiest way to get legitimate and viable test data.

One of the major drawbacks of recent clinical research, is the fact that a large number of the subjects involved in these studies had usually not ingested ecstasy exclusively, but in combination with a variety of other substances. As for subjects addicted to ecstasy rehab statistics were also ambiguous. New studies and research on ecstasy are needed to isolate this once forgotten narcotic, and neutralize, like all addictive substances, their physically addictive qualities through chemistry. New theories, and procedures are needed. Data gained primarily through the study and evaluation of residents exclusively engaged in ecstasy rehab has been invaluable, and much new information has been learned about this popular and extremely dangerous drug.

Working with individuals during ecstasy rehab allows researchers to test theories and see realistic results first hand. The process for ecstasy rehab is , today, treated with almost exactly the same methods used to treat similar addictions - not because this is the correct way, but because there simply is no specific method or treatment for ecstasy rehab, therefore the tried and true formula for treating addictions to other similar drugs has been implemented with favorable results. Specifically tailored ecstasy rehab is still in its early stages. With the amount of research into all forms of substance abuse growing in recent years, and the number of researchers growing as well, more effective, and specifically tailored treatment and recovery procedures will continue to evolve in the field of ecstasy rehab.

Many people who abuse drugs or know someone who does think that the abuse is one sided. People don’t just abuse drugs, drugs abuse people. In the annals of American history, drugs have abused many aspects of our society. Drugs abuse the people around the user, drugs abuse the users life and even their spiritual and physical well-being.

In the fast paced world of technological advancement, many people feel that the use of drugs helps to slow down the world around them when in reality drugs abuse their ability to keep up with our ever changing society. With the advent of modern technology and having it be readily available, many find discomfort in being inundated with the “bells and whistles” that accompany their every day lifestyle. In an average work day, stress can be accumulated through the rigor of trying to keep up with the ever growing inclusion of technology in the workplace. Often times, people choose drug use as a form of coping. Unfortunately, this is usually a means to a disastrous end.

A common misconception in our world today is that drugs only affect a person’s lifestyle. However, some would agree that drugs abuse a person’s spirit as well. Despite the on going argument of whether a spirit exists within our human forms, most people who have abused drugs would say that if our spirits do exist, drugs abuse the spirits natural inclination to thrive. Moreover, the existence of a drug addiction ruins the possible connection one could attain with the spiritual self.

Simply put, whether it be the spirit, the body, or the way a person lives, drugs abuse a persons need to truly be free. Any one who has ever suffered from drug addiction would concur. An unfortunate truth about drug addiction is that it is far too easy to be left behind and for such an affliction to go unnoticed. If you or a loved one is suffering from drug abuse, call Cliffside Malibu today. Our highly trained and compassionate staff is available 24 hours a day to help you deal with your demons. Call now and don’t let drugs abuse you ever again.

The problem of drug use and abuse is not a new one, society has dealt
with drug use and abuse for centuries. From the early Egyptians use of
wine, to the Chinese’s use of marijuana for medicinal purposes dating
back to 2737 B.C., drug use has a long history. During the 19th century
scientists and chemists began to extract the active ingredients in drugs
and refine them, resulting in the creation of substances such as
morphine, laudanum, and cocaine. These newly created substances were
unregulated and widely available to the public. Drug use and abuse was
especially prevalent during and after the Civil War, as morphine was
widely was used to treat wounded soldiers. Many soldiers even had their
own kits of morphine and hypodermic needles, which they brought home
with them after the war. Away from the war, opium dens flourished. It is
estimated that during this period there were approximately 250,000
addicts in the US alone.

The “official” beginning of the war against drug use and abuse, now
popularly called “the War On Drugs” by the government and media, was
1880, when the United States, and China signed legislation banning the
import of opium into the US. In San Francisco opium dens were banned
outright. By 1875 the problem of drug use and abuse was beginning to be
recognized as a serious threat, but it wasn’t until 1906 that serious
legislation to curb drug use and abuse was introduced. The Pure Food and
Drug Act of 1906 required exact labeling of all patented drug items
containing opium and other similar narcotics. The Harrison Act of 1914
further expanded the regulation of narcotics by limiting the sale of
large amounts or “doses” of opiates and cocaine, except by a licensed
doctor or pharmacy. Soon after heroin was banned and the Supreme Court
banned the prescription of any narcotic, even by a doctor. By the 1920’s
the issue of drug use and abuse took a backseat to a newer threat:
Alcohol. The 18th amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting the sale,
use, or possession of alcohol, was ratified in 1919. Use of all
narcotics and alcohol declined sharply. Drug use and abuse education in
schools also began around this time, but was abandoned shortly
thereafter. Soon after, marijuana, also considered a narcotic, was
demonized in the media to the point of satire in movies such as
“Reefer Madness” and became a target of criminalization, and was added to
the list of banned substances on August 2nd 1937 when the Marijuana Tax
Act was signed into law, making marijuana illegal on a federal level.

Drug use and abuse became prevalent, even socially acceptable to a
degree, during the social turbulence of the 1960’s. Newer narcotics like
LSD, Quaaludes, and speed, joined heroin, marijuana and cocaine as the
beast of drug use and abuse came back with a vengeance. Horror stories
of “bad trips” and fatal overdoses came to the nation’s attention as
America’s younger generation sought to free their bodies and minds. The
cycle of drug use and abuse continued into the 70’s, with a new
generation and an old drug: cocaine. The romanticization of cocaine, and
general drug use and abuse in the media, movies, and popular music, led
to a dramatic increase in the number of addicts and fatalities related
directly to it’s use.

It was during the 1980’s with the invention of the government’s new plan
to stamp out drug use and abuse, that the modern “War On Drugs” began.
Aggressive law enforcement tactics against the users and dealers of
drugs, particularly cocaine, were implemented, and heavy penalties
instituted. The use of cocaine, and other narcotics declined as a result
during the early 1980’s, but rose again sharply in the mid-80’s, and
into the 1990’s, with the invention of “crack”, an easy to make, more
powerful form of smokable cocaine. Due to the incredibly addictive
nature of this new concoction, “crack” or rock cocaine became an
epidemic rapidly, and the number of addicts or “crackheads” continued to
rise sharply. The epidemic of crack, and drug use and abuse in general
is still evident even today in 2006. The 1990’s also saw the rise of
another deadly narcotic, “meth”. Currently the “meth” epidemic is one of
the nation’s worst problems. Even with today’s drug use and abuse
education, rehab and treatment techniques, even the threat of
imprisonment, new addicts are born everyday, and the romanticizing of
drug use and abuse is still prevalent. It seems drug use and abuse and
the resulting destruction will be here for a couple thousand more years
until a way is found to cure the causes of addiction, and the need for
us to medicate ourselves from the stresses of everyday life.

Your son or daughter has a drug problem. You’ve already faced the anger, and the denials, the lies, the arguments even the violence. Maybe you have tried family counseling and or an outpatient drug rehab program, but the situation of substance abuse in teens can be very different then that in adults. While outpatient drug rehab programs have proven effective for the adult abuser and some adolescents, according to experts a residential drug rehab center is on of the surest paths to recovery for teens. A teen who has gone down the slippery slope to addiction, most likely got there from the negative influence of a peer group, and they need to be removed from that environment for effective drug rehab to take place. Also a residency drug rehab program is designed to tackle the core issues that may have lead to the drug abuse in the first place as well as have a staff of professionals that can address behavioral and emotional disorders that often coincide with substance abuse in teens.

Drug Rehab Facility

Once you have reached the difficult decision that a residential drug rehab program is right for your child, what next? First up take a deep breathe and realize that this is a good decision, your teen will finally be getting the help he or she needs. According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, a significant gap exists between the number of adolescents who need drug treatment and those who actually receive it. Only one-fourth of teens aged 14 to 17 needing such care actually obtain it. Also, know that while there is bound to be some resistance at first, even resentment - your teen will learn to appreciate the love and support they are getting from you. Getting a teen into a drug rehab facility will improve his or her life both today and into adulthood. So now the question becomes how to find the drug rehab facility that is right for my teen. To narrow down the choices get several recommendations from your healthcare provider, your teen’s counselor, or school advisor, then it is recommended you follow these guidelines:

• Ask about the drug rehab facility’s accreditation - Do not even consider a drug rehab center that lacks basic accreditation. It should be state licensed by the Department of Health, and accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
• Consider Costs: While a whole discussion can be applied to costs of a drug rehab program and how to pay for them, here are the basics - check if the drug rehab center accepts medical insurance, most do and if you have coverage check with your insurer if you are covered for drug rehab. Get a comprehensive list of all costs so there are no surprises, ask what is covered and what is not covered, and find out what if any scholarships and or financial assistance may be available.
• What is their philosophy of drug treatment? – Make sure it matches with you own personal philosophies and your child’s. Experts agree that the most effective drug rehab programs will be those in which you the parent take an active role. It is imperative that you and the counselors are on the same page philosophically.
• Does the drug rehab program treat adolescents only, or are adults housed in the same location? Research shows that the most effective teen drug treatment occurs when they are removed from adult programs.
• Choose a location that is nearby, again to be effective you are to be an active participant in the drug rehab program, so you do not want to choose a drug rehab facility that is too far away, and as your child’s program progresses he or she may be allowed home on weekends.
• Find out how long is the average stay in the drug rehab facility
• Ask to see records on successful results and drop out rates
• Ask to speak to other parents who have had kids go through the drug rehab program
• And finally be sure to visit the grounds of any residential drug rehab facility before taking your child there, don’t be afraid to ask questions of the staff and of the residents during your visit.

Drug Rehab Center

When you have narrowed down your choices of drug rehab centers, the next consideration is what can I expect in terms of drug treatment in the residential drug rehab center? While all drug rehab centers are different and in fact even within a drug rehab center tailor made to the needs of the individual teenager, there are some basics you should expect of all drug rehab centers. Any drug rehab program will likely start with detoxification. Medical detoxification safely manages the acute physical symptoms of withdrawal associated with stopping drug use, but medical detoxification is only the first stage of addiction treatment and by itself does little to change long-term drug use. That’s where the other techniques come in. Again depending on the nature or philosophy of the particular drug rehab program these will be a program of therapy sessions group and one-on-one, and activities designed to raise self esteem, teach respect for oneself and the community, and modify negative behaviors through praise and positive reinforcement. Some drug rehab centers may include outward bound or wilderness programs and animal therapy, both of which have been shown to be very successful for young addicts in recovery.

Residential Drug Rehab Program

Residential drug rehab programs have been proven effective for teens and adolescent abusers. In fact according to a recent study published by The American Psychological Association –“ most teens with serious behavioral or emotional problems that have not responded to other treatments, such as individual or group therapy, medications and psychiatric hospitalization - improve during treatment at a private residential drug rehab program.” But perhaps these words of a father whose child recently went through such a residential drug rehab program sum it up best “I am so happy that we found help for [John] but in reality our whole family has been positively affected by his treatment. We talk to one another and are learning to listen. Both my wife and I have decided to enter individual therapy to address our own issues. If [John] can risk growing, we can, too.”

Drug addiction is a treatable disease suffered by much of the American
population. Sadly, in this day and age many people aren’t receiving the
quality care they need to successfully conquer their addiction resulting
in a high relapse rate. As a result, only a small percentage ever truly
recover from drug addiction. This is due to the impersonal and sometimes
business-like nature of most treatment facilities. Here at Cliffside
Malibu drug rehab in Los Angeles we take a more personal approach. At
Cliffside Malibu we offer individual treatment for individual needs.

a program suited to the individual.

Cliffside Malibu’s topflight staff includes doctors, massage therapists,
acupuncturists, fitness trainers, yoga instructors and professional chefs.
Luxurious beachside living quarters with modern amenities such as plasma
TVs and wireless Internet complete the package and ensure a pleasant
experience on the road to recovery. That’s something you won’t find in
any other drug rehab in Los Angeles.

It is estimated that approximately 1.4 million young people between the ages of 12 – 17 have experimented with illegal drugs at least once. Fortunately, a large percentage will not develop a drug dependency. On the other hand, early drug experimentation may lead to a serious long-term addiction. Conquering a drug addiction is likely one of the toughest things to do. While some addicts attempt withdrawal without the assistance of medical professionals, others have to rely on help from a drug rehab center. There are many different types of drug rehab programs. Drug rehab centers focus on a variety of addictions, and offer a multitude of treatment options.

Getting a drug addict to consent to a drug rehab program is very difficult for family members and friends. Many drug rehab centers allow relatives to admit a loved one into the center. However, unless the drug rehab program is court-ordered, the patient can check themselves out. Initially, drug addicts suffer from denial. They either deny the problem altogether, or convince themselves that they are in control of the addiction. Common phrases include, “I can stop whenever I want.” Unfortunately, giving up an addiction is easier said than done. Once the first withdrawal symptom occurs, many addicts succumb and continue drug abuse. On the other hand, if a patient remains in drug rehab long enough to undergo a medical or psychological evaluation; he or she will gradually come to grips with their addiction, and willingly accept treatment.

Drug Rehab Program

Drug rehab programs are comprised of many steps. For starters, patients are required to complete a psychological evaluation. This way, mental health professionals can identify the patient’s mindset. For example, is the patient in denial or accepts responsibility for their actions? Next, drug addicts must undergo “detox.” Detoxification is unpleasant, but necessary. Before a patient can successfully overcome their addiction, their body must be completely rid of narcotics. Common symptoms include seizures, tremors, excessive sweating, heighten anxiety, constipation, etc. Drug rehab centers offer a safe place to undergo detoxification. Detoxification periods vary, and depend largely on how long the patient has been a drug abuser.

Once cravings for the drug completely diminish, patients begin educational classes that focus of drug addictions. Patients usually begin with individual therapy sessions, and gradually graduate to group or family therapy sessions. Individual sessions are effective with helping the former addict understand the underlying cause of abuse, and learn better methods of coping with stress and problems, which may prevent a relapse. Upon release from a drug rehab center, patients receive continual support. Setbacks are common. For this reason, regular attendance and communication with groups such as Narcotics Anonymous contribute to long-term abstinence.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Drug and alcohol rehab includes inpatient drug rehabilitation and outpatient treatment. Serious addictions generally require inpatient drug and alcohol rehab, in which patients reside at a drug rehab center for a designated time frame. On the contrary, certain circumstances may call for outpatient care. Does the drug addict recognize and acknowledge their addiction? Is the drug addict capable of stopping drug use for at least three days? Will the drug addict pledge to counseling or therapy sessions? If not, an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab center is a better alternative.

There are several payment options available to person’s entering a drug rehab center. In the majority of cases, health insurance carriers provide coverage for substance abuse treatment. However, before entering a drug rehab center, contact your health care provider and discuss benefit information. A drug rehab center funded by the state or local government offers free or low-cost substance abuse treatment, which accommodate persons without health insurance.

Substance abuse is such a common problem, that there are many alcohol and drug recovery related resources widely available. Actual long-term help can come in many forms from medical and holistic therapies, to highly effective drug recovery centers, and sometimes group counseling and the extremely rare cases of self-imposed withdrawal. The key is not just to find a fast drug recovery method, but also a healthy and safe one.

In most cases, some drug recovery centers will examine the patient’s diet and nutritional needs in addition to the specifics of the drug abuse itself. This way, the body can be primed for a sound transition to a healthier state. When the body is feeling better, it tends to need less of the substitutes that addictive behavior represents.
