Heroin Drug Rehab
A word about Heroin
Heroin is one of the most powerfully addictive drugs on the streets today along with cocaine and methamphetamines. Along with “club” drugs and marijuana, these are what the DEA considers to be the major drug threats in the US today, as well as being a tremendous public health threat. It is not only damaging to the addicted individual, it tears apart the family of the person with the problem and destroys all types of relationships. It is not only a very destructive addiction, it is hideously painful as well.
Women and addiction
One of the cardinal truths about any addiction, whether it is alcohol or drug-related, is that it is not selective. In other words, individuals from all walks of life (men, women, and even children) can get addicted to a number of substances. Addiction could care less where age, creed, economic status, and race are concerned. However, in the past couple of decades, it is becoming more prevalent among women primarily due to their changing roles in society.
More women today than ever before are now a significant portion of the workforce and/or are single mothers raising children on what they are earning. This has created additional stress for women, especially single mothers. This stress oftentimes leads to depression and then an addiction to a particular substance, heroin included, usually develops. Typically, either depression or some behavioral disorder is at the root of substance addiction.
Heroin drug rehab for women
Does heroin drug rehab for women work? Yes and no, depending on certain factors. The specific type of drug rehab that is employed usually relies on several key factors such as:
- type of addiction the woman is suffering from
- long-term support services that are provided
- how long the individual has been addicted to the particular substance
- duration of the drug rehab treatment and recovery program prescribed
Sadly, there has only been a minimal amount of research conducted for the purposes of comparing and evaluating drug rehab programs that take place in a controlled setting. As these raw research numbers are not readily available, it has been assumed that, overall, most addicted individuals can potentially recover. Additionally, many individuals who have substance addictions rarely become substance-free without relapsing, sometimes more than once.
