24.01.2022 While the potency of cocaine has increased in recent years, the price has fallen, providing the two necessary ingredients to create a problem. The human cost of this has been revealed in data released this year that shows a seven per cent rise in those seeking help with the drug. Cocaine, like most other addictive drugs, requires specialist treatment which is where our team can help. Call us today to book an appointment.

23.01.2022 Relapse is a common part of the recovery process. In fact, 40-60 percent of individuals who struggle with substance abuse or addiction will relapse at some point. Often, when people relapse, it is because they were faced with a trigger (or series of triggers) that they could not handle. The more you know about your triggers and what kinds of coping mechanisms help you to deal with them, the less likely you’ll have to deal with relapse on your journey to better health.

22.01.2022 Recovering from addiction is an ongoing process that involves making better decisions and living a healthier lifestyle. When the body is healthy, it's easier for a person to handle life's challenges, so learning to take better care of the body should play a significant role in your treatment. Learning about proper nutrition, undertaking regular outdoor exercise, and participating in mindfulness activities are wonderful ways to curb the possibility of relapse.

21.01.2022 An alarming aspect of cocaine consumption is a trend that combines cocaine with other harmful drugs, notably heroin. Termed a speedball, the cocaine/heroin combination creates a euphoric high and feeling of relaxation without the side effects of drowsiness and sedation usually associated with depressants. This can be deadly, as the combination of the stimulant/depressant can cause the user to feel less high, leading to an increase in consumption. Death is most commonly caused by a delayed overdose response to the stimulant, causing the user to take further doses, leading to a fatal opioid overdose.

18.01.2022 A new study of more than 300,000 couples suggests that marriage to a spouse who grew up exposed to parental alcohol misuse increases a person’s likelihood of developing a drinking problem. The study suggests that growing up with an AUD-affected parent might teach people to act in ways that reinforce a spouse’s drinking problem, such as, taking care of a spouse when they have a hangover. So it’s not just the offspring of affected parents who are at risk, it’s the people those offspring end up marrying too.

15.01.2022 The passing of Diego Maradona last week is a sad reminder of the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction. After a blessed but troubled life we hope he now finds peace and comfort. If you, or someone you know, is battling drug addiction, call our friendly team today.

14.01.2022 A consequence of misusing Opioids that gets little attention is hearing loss. The first documented case dates back to the 1970’s, but doctors still know very little about the opioid-induced hearing loss (OIHL) condition. Research suggests that the risk of hearing loss increases if misuse is high or results in overdose, and that the damage this causes to the brain may cause dysfunction in the auditory pathway resulting in hearing loss that can take months to resolve.

14.01.2022 The increasingly complex methods employed to develop and consume drugs make detection of side effects and potential interactions with other drugs difficult. Common substances of abuse are now being ingested in alternative, more hazardous ways, while designer drugs are being chemically modified to enhance their euphoric effects. These various modifications place medical professionals in a very difficult position, so we insist our team undergo continual training and professional development to stay ahead of the trends so we can always recommend the best pathway to better health.

14.01.2022 If you are married to an addict, how can you get them the help they need? Well, the first step is to educate yourself on their addiction because the more informed you are, the more confident you will feel when you talk to them. And when you do talk to them, make sure you express how much you care for them so they do not feel attacked and get defensive. Later on you can suggest a few options for treatment, but don’t force it. Treatment never works unless the addicted person is the one who makes the decision to get treatment for it.

14.01.2022 If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, it’s crucial to find a clinic that will meet the patients specific needs. But how do know what questions to ask if you’ve never been in this position before? We’ve identified 5 key questions to ask that will get the help you or your loved one deserves.

13.01.2022 Babies born to women who use drugs can develop a dependence on the drugs they were exposed to. Unlike addiction in adults or teens, which has an emotional component, the condition babies experience is purely physical. The condition, termed neonatal abstinence syndrome, is linked to tremors, seizures, sleep problems, poor weight gain and a host of other symptoms. If you are pregnant and dealing with addiction, give our friendly team a call today.

13.01.2022 From January 1, athletes who test positive to "substances of abuse", including cocaine and heroin, may face a one-month sanction, compared to a possible four-year ban previously. The annual update of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List indicates such a discretion applies if it is proved the substance was taken out of competition, unrelated to sporting performance and a drug rehabilitation program undertaken.

11.01.2022 Alcoholics Anonymous recently launched a new ad campaign that highlights the repercussions of excessive drinking and alcohol addiction. The ads feature bottles of spirits turned upside down with the liquor inside forming the shape of the family or professional life your drink might impact. And the hard hitting tagline reads ‘Don’t waste your family / job. Quit drinking while it’s time.’ If these ads resonate with you and you feel it’s time to change your life for the better, give our friendly team a call today.

10.01.2022 The term ‘Cold Turkey’ originated from the bumps on the skin of people who attempt to abruptly abstain from addiction. The problem with going ‘Cold turkey’ from drugs or alcohol is that it can be lethal. When addictive substances are suddenly discontinued the body does not have sufficient time to adjust which can lead to overstimulation, temors, disorientation and in the worst cases heart seizure. A safer way is to follow a treatment plan that is designed to wean yourself off the drug so that your body can adapt and avoid these complications.

10.01.2022 The dangers of driving while drunk or distracted have been so thoroughly demonstrated that they’ve become ingrained in modern consciousness. But should opioid abuse be added to the list of major contributors to traffic hazards? A recent report into the relationship between opioids and collision risks suggests it should be.

08.01.2022 People with a substance use disorder usually don’t want to admit it at first. This is mainly due to the stigma surrounding addiction. They fear that if they receive drug addiction treatment, their friends and family will shun them because there is a belief in society that having an addiction is shameful. The important thing to remember in these cases is that addiction is a disease, and just like other diseases it needs to be treated.

04.01.2022 A significant number of Australians are incarcerated each year because their alcohol or drug addiction has led them towards criminal behaviour. So it makes sense that if we can help address their addictions while in prison they will have a better opportunity to not re-enter the system when they get out. A voluntary drug rehabilitation program run at Wandoo Prison for Women has achieved amazing success in this area, with a return to prison rate of just 1%. It is a leading light in drug-addiction rehabilitation in Australia and is attracting interest from governments around the world.

03.01.2022 Getting treatment for addiction can be an immeasurably difficult decision to make. While it is an essential step for recovery, making that first step may not be a comfortable experience for patients. Luckily, at Pharmaceutical Rehabilitation Services we are equipped with the staff, amenities and specialist programs to make you recovery as comfortable an experience as possible. Call our friendly team and start your journey to better health today.

02.01.2022 If your child is struggling with an addiction, you might find it hard to figure out how to confront him/her about it. Talking to your children about substances when they are younger is a great way of stopping the problem before it starts. But if it’s too late for that try to remember these three rules. 1) Listen and ask questions, but don’t lecture. 2) Try to explore the reason the substance abuse happened. 3) Know when to step in and get professional help.

01.01.2022 A new study funded by the National Institute of health has found that people with substance use disorder - especially involving opioids or tobacco are at a significantly higher risk of contracting Covid-19. Tobacco’s damage to the lungs makes it easier for smokers to contract the virus; and Opioids depress the respiratory system which appears to make users more vulnerable. There are so many good reasons to try to quite smoking and Opioids and this adds another one with some more urgency.
