Delirium Tremens: Its Symptoms and Treatments At Bright Future Recovery,
For many, addiction can start by using prescription drugs. Yes, even the drugs that are prescribed by doctors can still have highly addictive properties. Oftentimes, prescription drug addiction pave the way for individuals to seek out harder, more illicit substances found on the street, such as heroin or fentanyl.

Alcohol is another commonly abused drug. Although consuming alcohol is socially acceptable practice, alcoholics should very much still be considered addicted. The rate of DUIs in a city can be a reliable sign indicating a larger issue with alcohol abuse within the population. Consistent binge drinking is known to be associated with long-term physical and mental repercussions such as kidney failure, heart disease, and more.
Prescription drug abuse can easily lead to opioid addiction. When patients first receive prescriptions for powerful painkillers from their doctor, they are usually seeking help with pain management. For example, it is common for doctors to prescribe Oxycontin to individuals who have just received surgery in order to help cope with the pain afterwards. Even dentists can prescribe Vicodin or Percocet after strenuous root canals. Despite these drugs being known for their highly addictive properties, medical practitioners across the country freely prescribe these powerful narcotics, leading many otherwise normal individuals down a path of addiction.
In an effort to combat prescription medication abuse in Monterey County, the city’s hospitals and doctors have collaborated on a project aimed to educate its population on the dangers of addiction, as well as provide recommendations for holistic pain management techniques to discourage unnecessary opioid consumption. To learn more about the project and how you can help, visit this website.

When it came to choosing the location for our detox center, we had several key requirements.
First, we wanted to be in close proximity with local ranches and their horse stables as part of our equine therapy program. Second, we wanted to be based in a city that was secluded and relatively safe, so that our clients could freely roam the facility grounds should they feel the need to go for a walk or jog.
Choosing to set up our drug and alcohol detox center within the city of Hollister, CA has allowed us to meet all these requirements. Our secluded and tranquil facility helps individuals feel at-home and safe, giving them the support they need for the detoxing process.
