  1. What are the Prescription Drugs? Prescription medications that can be misused at the best addiction treatment center in Pakistan for the condition they were initially prescribed are Scheduled Drugs, I-IV. People wanted to know about the Detox types and Alcohol Detoxification for psychics also. There are three categories of prescription medications. • Opioids • CNS Depressants • Stimulants These three categories are the ones most commonly abused. Under a doctor’s orders, the user will sometimes discover the euphoric nature of Replacement therapies to stop smoking these medications. Prescription dosage, if followed precisely, rarely leads to addiction. However, if these medications are taken in dosages above the prescription recommendation, they can quickly lead to addiction. These Scheduled Drugs are all highly potent medications, and caution should be taken even at prescription levels. Prescription drugs have a very high addiction rate, and many people in drug rehab today began innocently enough following a doctor’s orders. Some people want to know the natural products that help them with smoking cessation. Because of their tolerance proprieties, in other words, the user has to take higher doses to achieve the initial euphoric feelings. Opioids

  2. Opioids are prescribed because of their effective analgesic and pain relieving properties. They are usually referred to as narcotics. Some of the most common are morphine, codeine, oxycodone, Darvon, Vicodin, Dilaudid, and Demerol. Rehab centers provide intervention, and people are coming for early intervention. These drugs produce sensations of well being and euphoria. The legs and arms feel heavy, a warm flush rushes through the face, and the average brain reception to pain is blocked. Withdrawal Symptoms: Long-term abuse of narcotics is usually a long-term detox process. It takes a long time for this drug to leave the neuro-receptors of the brain, and symptoms of restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, and cold flashes occur at the same time. CNS Depressants The drugs come in two groups: • Barbiturates (Mephobarbital, Pentobarbital Sodium) • Benzodiazepines—diazepam (Valium), chlordiazepoxide HCI (Librium) These medications have a more sedating effect and are used to treat anxiety, tension, and sleep disorders. Euphoria is moderately present, and the tolerance level of an individual increase with use. These medications are addictive if used for prolonged periods. Withdrawal: These medications slow the brain’s activity, and after long-term abuse, if the drug is discontinued entirely, the brain rebounds to the point that seizures can occur. The withdrawal of these classes of medications should require a doctor’s care. Stimulants Some of these drugs are methylphenidate (Ritalin) and dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine). These medications are addictive because they produce a sensation of euphoria in conjunction with a feeling of personal power. These have chemical properties similar to norepinephrine and dopamine. Stimulants increase the levels of these chemicals in the brain and body, which increase blood pressure, heart rate, and blood glucose and open up the pathways of the respiratory system. Withdrawal: There are no medications designed for detoxing stimulants. Sometimes antidepressants are administered to help a person during the low emotional period when experiences come off long-term usage of stimulants. Treatment after detoxing these medications

  3. should include behavior therapy. Cognitive-behavior therapy combined with a recovery support group is most effective. Heroin Heroin is an odorless, bitter tasting substance that comes in three forms: White powder, brown powder, and black tar. It typically has been injected intravenously, but because of recent contagious diseases, for example, HIV, and Hepatitis B & C, it is becoming more common for users to smoke or snort it. Heroin is a powerful narcotic processed from morphine and is a Schedule I controlled drug. It is illegal to possess it without a doctor’s order. Heroin is a highly potent drug and very addictive because it delivers a sedate- like, powerful, euphoric rush. High doses of heroin make the arms and legs feel heavy, and there is an overall sensation of well being.
