  3. Recognizing Substance Abuse Substance abuse is a harmful habit that can have vast impact on an individual’s physical, mental and emotional well-being. The effects each substance has on a person and their community can vary on the abused chemical and their frequency of use. This is a list of commonly used drugs people abuse and the signs of their consumption: Alcohol – When intoxicated, the drinker may exhibit signs of lethargy or euphoria, bloodshot eyes, mood swings, unusual openness and any other behavior that is considered out of character for the person. More long-term signs of dependence include driving, working or schooling while drinking and physical symptoms such as yellowing of the skin, poor liver function and overall decreased signs of health. Cocaine – Cocaine is a stimulant leading to feelings of energy and alertness, even thoughts of supremacy. Users can also experience the exact opposite, such as irritability and heightened anxiety. Dilated pupils are common in most cocaine users. Cocaine also creates havoc in the heart, increasing chances of cardiovascular distress and disease. (866) 971-2658

  4. Texas Substance Abuse Call To Action About Substance Abuse Substance abuse includes — but is not limited to — the overuse of alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, synthetic marijuana (a deceptively dangerous class of drugs very different from cannabis), prescription drugs (when used without a doctor’s supervision or taken beyond recommended dosage), heroin, hallucinogens and many more destructive drugs. Learning about these chemicals is critical to recognizing addictions in others and yourself. Alcohol – One of the most potentially destructive drugs available (despite its legality) when abused. When used responsibly it is a good social lubricant and a way to relax, but frequently drinking to get drunk will eventually lead to severe mental and physical problems, such as dependence, weight gain, liver damage and more Cocaine – A powerful stimulant made from the coca plant. Cocaine is a popular street drug typically sniffed for its euphoric and energetic properties. This drug is incredibly taxing on the heart and brain, potentially leading to physical and mental damage that one may or may not recover after Substance abuse is one of the greatest threats facing both the mental and physical well-being of Texans. Trying to deal with this epidemic is difficult because of its strong, mind-altering nature and the damage it does to societies, people and economic stability. The Texas Substance Abuse Helpline is here to help make this great state a healthier place.

  5. Substance Abuse Treatment Programs in Texas Substance abuse is a problem with multiple effects and therefore many possible solutions. Each drug has different effects on both the mind and body, so any effective treatment will have to help with both. After arriving at a substance abuse treatment center, a patient is given a complete physical and mental evaluation. This makes sure a patient is treated with a unique approach so they can feel better knowing professionals really care about them gaining full recovery. Each person has their own unique symptoms of addiction. There are many different ways of treating substance abuse depending on the patient’s drug of choice, reasons for using and possible underlying mental illness. An important component of a legitimate recovery center is a continuing care program that follows up with patients now in recovery. It’s important to know sobriety can be a permanent lifestyle choice. While this can sound tiring, good rehabilitation will give the tools needed to make this a seamless, empowering way to live life to the fullest.

  6. Brief Strategic Therapy (BST) Consisting of three stages (joining, diagnosing and restructuring), this is a family focused therapy modality. The therapist observes how the family functions and communicates then suggests improvements for better coexistence and happiness. This therapy is rooted in the idea that family relationships impact psychological development and possibly substance abuse problems in severe circumstances. BST doesn’t mean the addict’s problem is entirely the family’s fault. It simply means acknowledging every part of the patient’s life and how it has led the addict to become the person he or she is today.

  7. Mindfulness A therapist will sit down with the patient and gently guide them to focus on their problems in a nonjudgmental, easygoing way. It is essential that patients temporarily put aside the pains of life if possible, whether these issues are physical or mental. Focusing on one particular sensation is very beneficial, such as raindrops on the roof, birds chirping outside or the drips of a nearby faucet. This helps the patient feel more in control and empowered by what changes they can make in the moment. The present is empowering but the past is painful for those with substance abuse patients, as they have made mistakes.
