Drug Addiction
What Does Meth Do to the Brain?
Meth, short for methamphetamine, deeply changes how the brain functions and communicates. It overstimulates brain chemicals, especially dopamine, which controls pleasure, movement, and motivation.
How Does Cocaine Affect Dopamine Levels?
Imagine experiencing a sudden and intense shift in energy and focus within moments. This is the effect of dopamine—a chemical in the brain that plays a key role in motivation and reward.
Methadone and Its Use in Treatment
Methadone is a synthetic opioid most commonly used as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD). It has been used for decades to help individuals taper off heroin or prescription opioids safely while reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
How To Stop Precipitated Withdrawal
It often starts suddenly. You or someone you love is trying to get clean from opioids, but after taking medication like Suboxone (buprenorphine), things take a turn for the worse. Instead of feeling better, intense withdrawal symptoms kick in almost immediately, worse than expected. This is not just a regular withdrawal.
What is Cocaine Comedown?
Cocaine comedown is an uncomfortable crash that occurs when cocaine’s effects begin to taper. Experiencing these crashes alone makes quitting seem impossible.
The Signs of Prescription Drug Abuse
The abuse of prescription drugs is a growing problem in the U.S. Abuse occurs when an individual takes a medication in a way that wasn’t prescribed or without a prescription at all. This can result in serious health issues, addiction (Substance Use Disorder), and even death.
