Illegal Drugs

Illegal drugs like ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, ghb, pcp or even marijuana are often stigmatized more for being illegal drugs than for the damage that they can cause. Illegal drugs by definition can cause a user to be arrested, sent to jail or rehab, have their license suspended and so on but the truth is that these problems are minor compared to the physical and mental distress these drugs can cause a drug abuser. Illegal drugs have different effects depending on the nature of the drug. Opiates and CNS depressants bring you down, stimulants bring you up and others just wipe you out but illegal drugs are all used for the same purpose, to create pleasure and escape pain. Whether its escape from a painful reality or simple escape from boredom, use of illegal drugs can start innocuously enough but for many people can turn into a consuming addiction where use is more out of a necessity than pleasure seeking.

Treatment Referral hopes that if you or a loved one has a problem with illegal drugs you can quickly realize that the problem is outside of your control and you need help to defeat it. Addiction is a disease and having guilt or shame associated with using illegal drugs has kept too many people out of recovery and allowed the disease to grow until the fatal conclusion.
