Benzos Rehab

A study that was published in the Public health Nutrition Journal was done by scientist from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the University of Granada.  This study took up the subject of eating fast foods and baked goods being linked to depression.  Great that’s all I need to know that the food I eat is what is causing me to feel blue.  The results of the test show that people who do eat fast foods when compared to those who eat little or none are 51% more likely to develop depression.  Sanchez-Villegas, lead author of the study stated:

“The more fast food you consume, the greater the risk of depression.”

The study reveals that participants who eat the most fast food and commercial baked goods are more likely to be single, less active and have poor dietary habits.  They eat less fruit, nuts, and fish, vegetables and olive oil.  They are also smoking and working more than 45 hours per week.

The study was made up of 8,964 participants that had never been diagnosed with depression or taken antidepressants.  They were assessed for six months, and 493 were diagnosed with depression or started to take antidepressants.  Information came from the SUN project from the University of Navarra Diet and Lifestyle Tracking Program.

Sanchez-Villegas concludes: “although more studies are necessary, the intake of this type of food should be controlled because of its implications on both health and mental wellness.” The thing that these kinds of studies make clear is that reaching for antidepressants isn’t always the first thing you should think of doing when you’re down. Lifestyle changes can have a huge impact. And if you’re hooked on pharmaceuticals, you can find help–wherever you are! Whether you’re closest to one of the New York drug rehabs, or one on the west or gulf coast, professional help exists.

This whole purpose of this study for me is that when people are depressed the first thing they want to do is get on antidepressants.  They don’t really think that it could be their food making them depressed.  The taking of drugs is what is more harmful to them.  This leads to more drugs like anti anxiety drugs and so on.  Drugs are not always the answer to your problems.  Something can be done about it. You can find help at a pharmaceutical or benzos rehab near you.  Find natural ways to get healthy and stay off drugs.

Just last week the Lake Charles Police Department went to an incident with a shooting and a stabbing involved.  There were three people that were affected in this incident.  One victim died from his injuries the other two victims were treated and released from the hospital.  One male suspect ran away from this scene.  He later carjacked another person and injured him.  Needless to say the chase was on.  The lake Charles Police Department then located the suspect at the Howard Johnson Express motel where he barricaded himself and would not respond to any negotiations.  This was a standoff like you see in the movies.  A special team was called in from the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s office Response Team and they had armored “Bearcat”.  Tear gas was deployed from the “Bearcat” and that caused the suspect to come out and surrender to the LCPD.  The suspect was then transported to the LCPD Detective Division for processing then the suspect began to exhibit signs of seizures and began convulsing.  The suspect told homicide investigators that he had ingested large amounts of illegal narcotics during the 3 hour standoff.  Whether he was an addict in need of Lafayette drug rehabs or simply wanted his life to be over, he certainly took enough to overdose. Acadian Ambulance was immediately notified and transported the suspect to a local hospital.

This suspect was charged with one count of First degree murder, three counts of attempted first degree murder and one count of carjacking.

Later the suspect died and there was no evidence of injury or trauma and the Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s office reported the cause of death was mixed drug intoxication.  I suppose this young man knew he was in for it and just took his life.  Drugs can do that to you.  If you know someone who wants to get off drugs get them to an inpatient treatment center where they can get safe and natural ways to detox and withdraw.  Something can be done about it.

The University of Pittsburg Medical Center has the Western Psychiatric Institute and just lately they reported that a 30 year old went on a shooting rampage.  The 30 year old was a former mental health patient.  After the whole incident law officials went into this 30 year old’s apartment with search warrant and they found 43 different medications.  Clearly this individual might have benefited from being not only in a psychiatric institute but one of the Pittsburgh drug rehabs. Now it looks like these drugs played a significant role into his behavior and triggered the shooting.

This event did not hit the media frenzy although it is getting to be an all too common occurrence.  Whether we want to accept it or not psychiatric drugs do alter the minds of patients and sometimes they end up going on a violent rampage and the result is people get seriously injured and die.  In the case of this 30 year old it is reported

that not only the psychiatric drugs attributed to his situation but the treatment he had received sent him over the edge.  Now there are five people injured and one dead.

This 30 year old’s saga started in 2009 at the Portland International Airport in Oregon where he had an exchange with the police.  Judge eventually ordered the 30 year old to undergo six months of mental health treatment.  This treatment consisted of psychiatric drug regimens with powerful mind altering consequences and it only made things worse for him.  The 30 year old had 43 different medications in his apartment that were prescribed by dozens of doctors.  He also had some disturbing notes and scribbles on the wall saying that the treatments were causing him some great disabilities.  Bottom line all of this medication and the treatment seem to have caused him to go into the crimes he committed.  He could have been in a pharmaceuticals or benzos rehab program, but his case was clearly incompetently handled by his doctors. He really felt he had been misdiagnosed and then ordered to take medications for conditions he did not actually have.  It was obvious by this time that he had mental issues and instead of helping him they kept giving him more and more drugs so he could not fend for himself.  In the end these powerful drugs led him to this destructive behavior and this did not really need to happen.

Just this week it was reported by the Associated Press that 11 students that are in the Jefferson County Public Schools got into sharing some drug-laced brownies and they were suspended.  One student at Eastern High School had the idea of bringing some brownies which had marijuana baked into them.  So he decided to share with 10 other students.  I am sure they all had a great laugh.  That is one of the things marijuana can do; make you giggle.  It can also make you hungry.  The report is not clear as to how they got caught but needless to say they did and were suspended.  The question here is how did that student get a hold of marijuana in the first place? From someone who had skipped out of one of our Kentucky drug rehabs? Being a juvenile, it isn’t that easy to deal in drugs.  The parents of one 14 year old said her son did not realize the snacks had been tampered with and he threw away most of the one he had been given because it didn’t taste good.  So she is definitely appealing his suspension.  The school’s official said her son was back in school and was pending the outcome of that appeal.

This is just a testament of what young adults are capable of.  No doubt this student’s parents may have had something to do with marijuana being in the household.  The more I write these stories the more I am convinced that drugs are everywhere in this country.  Nothing surprises me anymore.  The craftiness of a drug user is sometimes admirable, albeit this craftiness is leading to harmful effects in their lives.  Something can be done about this.  Education in the forefront with young adults is much needed. Keeping kids away from marijuana might just keep them from heroin or benzos rehab in the future.

Demonstrating the need for effective drug rehabs, the Charleston Daily Mail ran a news story November 20, 2009,  where Kanawha County Sheriff’s deputies out of West Virginia say they arrested a Campbells Creek man for possession with intent to sell a prescription drug, Clonazepam to a juvenile moments before.

Clonazepam is in a group of drugs called benzodiazepines. It affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause seizures. The drug typically is used to control certain types of seizures in the treatment of epilepsy and panic disorders.

The Deputies interviewed the juvenile who confirmed the purchase of five tablets of Clonazepam for $10 at which point the suspect was arrested and taken into custody.

Benzodiazipines is a dangerous family of depressants with an ever increasing amount of people becoming addicted to these prescription drugs.  Repeated use of large doses or; even in some cases, daily use of therapeutic doses of benzodiazepines is associated with amnesia, hostility, irritability, and vivid or disturbing dreams, as well as tolerance and physical dependence.  But with more and more teens buying benzos on the street from contemptible drug dealers, it becomes more and more necessary to intervene and a drug rehab program may become necessary.

In a recent article from Medicare Finance entitled, Health Matters:  What is Drug Withdrawal?”  further evidence of the dangers of benzodiazepine addiction are published. The healthcare agent network states:

“You may be hooked emotionally and psychologically. You may have a physical dependence, too. But if you’re addicted to a drug, whether the drug is legal or illegal, you have a craving for it. You want to use it again. When you stop taking the drug, you may have unpleasant physical reactions.
Drug addiction involves compulsively seeking to use a substance, regardless of the potentially negative social, psychological and physical consequences. Certain drugs, such as narcotics and cocaine, are more physically addicting than some other drugs.
The range of drugs to which you can become addicted is wide. They include:
Cannabis compounds. Contained in marijuana and hashish.
Central nervous system depressants. Barbiturates and benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines include tranquilizers such as diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), oxazepam (Serax), lorazepam (Ativan), clonazepam (Klonopin) and chlordiazepoxide (Librium).”

The article further states, “Drug use or abuse crosses the line to drug addiction when you feel you have to have the drug, and you increase the amount of the drug you take.”

At this point an effective drug rehab becomes necessary.

In yet another study, this one published recently on New Scientist Health website, more reasons Benzodiazipines should not be used to treat patients has been announced.  While citing that giving sleeping pills to soldiers and earthquake victims is common practice,  it has been found that doing so may be causing more harm than good according to a study of traumatised rats, which seemed to show that the drugs suppressed the rodent’s natural mechanisms for coping with trauma.

While to the average person, it would be obvious that a person needs their full faculties in order to confront and deal with traumatizing situations.  By drugging the individual, their ability is thus hampered to recover.

Once on Benzodiazipines unfortunately, too many individuals find themselves in the grip of this powerful sedative and then become addicted. A drug rehab program may be necessary in order to break the hold of this substance.

It is never recommended that a person go cold turkey when addicted to Benzodiazepines; always do so under the guidance of a doctor, quite possible while attending a successful drug rehab program.
