Teenage Drug Abuse and Addiction.

When a teenager abuses a drug their chance of becoming an addict is much greater than that of an adult.  It is vitally important to differentiate between use and addiction.  Just because a teen has experimented with a drug does not mean they are addicted.  The important part of this equation is that their young brains are still developing leaving them more vulnerable.

Look for the signs that the teenager(s) in your life may be misusing drugs.  Among those signs are simple curiosity for example…I wonder how that will make me feel?  Stress is a motivating factor.  Try to communicate with your kids to see what is bothering them.  Of course, a big one is peer pressure.  Meet and learn about their friends and the people that they hang around.

What are Delirium Tremens?

You have probably heard of this disorder.  Delirium tremens are caused from the withdrawal of alcohol from one’s system.  During this 3-4 day period victims may hear and see things that people around them do not.  If you are looking for physical manifestations, pay particular attention to shaking, shivering, sweating, and an irregular heartbeat.  

Alcohol withdrawal is not the only cause of delirium tremens.  They may also be caused from ceasing prolonged use of barbiturates.  When you see these symptoms it is important to rule out such abnormalities as electrolyte abnormalities, pancreatitis, and alcoholic hepatitis.  Aggressive treatment is needed for these withdrawals.

There is a remarkable place in Florida on the breathtaking Gulf Coast to find help for drug and alcohol addiction.  It is called Blu By The Sea.  We are a delirium tremens treatment center in Florida’s panhandle.  Please visit our website at www.blubythesea.com and view the details of our facility located in Destin Florida.  Please call today at (850) 424-3252.
