Some of the latest research shows that prescription drug abuse is becoming even more common than illegal narcotics. This site is dedicated to providing balanced and unbiased information on drugs and medications that are currently on the market, or were previously available worldwide. It features a comprehensive list of prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as their associated side effects. Their goal is to not only warn about potentially harmful side effects but to help consumers determine whether a medication has addictive qualities as well.
In 2017, there were 19.7 million people in the
United States with a substance use disorder.
However, only 1.4 million were in treatment
for that disorder. When someone is addicted,
their brain rewires itself to crave the
substance more and more over time. Over
time, the cravings can get so severe that the
person’s daily responsibilities become less
important and the consequences of acquiring
or taking the substance are ignored.
When a person is abusing a substance, that choice not only effects them, but everyone around them. At Lifegrowth, we work to supply and cultivate the tools that are vital to begin breaking the dependence on a substance. We work with each individual to re-train and re-wire their brain to make healthier decisions and not turn to the substance when the cravings happen. We want to help families and relationships be restored from the grip of substance abuse and addiction and for every person to find their peace, purpose, and potential once again. If you or someone you know could benefit from talking with one of our professionals, contact us today to set up an appointment.
