Summary: Overcoming Drug or Alcohol Addiction with Narconon Trois-Rivieres


Drug or alcohol addiction can be overcome. People can release themselves from the chains of addiction. The proof is the success stories from Narconon Trois-Rivieres seen below.

SO THEY THINK OXYNEO IS TAMPER-PROOF HUH?


I happened into a site today, much to my amazement it seemed to be a site for pushers looking for
customers.  You will remember in an earlier blog I wrote about the problem of OxyContin being taken off the market and OxyNEO being its replacement.  I found this item:

OxyNeo replaces OxyContin
  “I have OxyNEO 40mg and 20mg in stock. Despite what you've heard they aren't crush proof and work just as the OC's and OP's do.  20mg are 15$ each and 40mg and 30$ each”. (OCs are OxyContin, OPs are Opiates)

Well curiosity killed the cat as to say, I kept reading this site.  Just to see what was going on with OxyNEO in the addict world.  Obviously the fellow above is either selling a false pitch, or has figured something out. 

On my previous blog, I think I mentioned that it would not be long before someone who has a friend who knows about chemistry would figure out a way to make the OxyNEO pills usable by the drug addicted people out there.

The next post was a complaint about the price; the one following was this one that I found interesting:


“It turns into a "HydroGel" as soon as it contacts water.
 Not only that, stops up your nose like crazy!
 Also people have reported having stringy gel like
 Feces and vomit after taking the OxyNEO.”

My curiosity is definitely now piqued.  Just how are they taking it? Maybe the drug company did something this time that was going to work? I just kept reading:

“I totally agree with you! The effects are like half of the old ones...gives you major stomach cramps and pain...no one wants them that I know of”…

Then this one:

“U cannot crush them.......I know it's a bummer........what's worse is they don't work for pain anymore”

Hey cool, maybe the manufacturer was right?   Take a moment and ponder that.

Now I am not going to give the site I found this data on.  I just found it really curious that all this discussion was going on in public on the World Wide Web.  I almost turned to the next site but for some reason I didn’t.  I kept reading.

The person selling the drugs admitted that he way lying about the product and ended up cutting his prices.  It was just before the following and right after he announced he had sold out.

There it was, about half way down the page, detailed instructions on how to get the OxyNEO broken down, powdered, and snort able so that none of the complaints above occurred. 

The post was marked April 6th.  In Canada OxyContin came off the market and was replaced on the 29th  day of March.  So it has taken nine days for the safeguard that the manufacturer has put on these pills to be broken down and discarded by the addicts.

I won’t go into how, because I am not an enabler, nor tell the site for the same reason.

The point is an addict is desperate for the next fix, and will do anything to get that fix.  The safeguards that the manufacturer put on these pills were quick to break through. 

Doesn’t it make more sense to get off the drugs and addictions, than continuing in this expensive game?

PMMA? What is it?


There is a new drug out in Canada, or perhaps not so new, but new to me.  It is called PMMA.  What is it?  What kinds of effects does it have?   Is it addictive?
Let's talk about drugs

PMMA  stands for para-Methoxymethamphetamine .  It also is called Methyl MA, 4-methoxy=n-methylamphetamine (4-MMA).  It is a stimulant and psychedelic drug closely related to the amphetamine-class and  serotonergic drug.

Para-Methoxyamphetamine.   Para-Methoxyamphetamine also called PMA is toxic to humans,  and is believed to have the potential to cause harmful side effects or death in overdose.   PMMA is structurally similar to PMA, and is believed to have the same toxicity as PMA.

While listening to the news today, I heard about PMMA for the first time.  Someone had died from it.   From what I find out, PMMA has been known to produce severe hyperthermia at low dosages.  At higher doses the side effects and risk of death are very similar to PMA.  PMMA causes an increase in blood pressure and heart rate and death .

PMMA found in tablets and capsules of MDMA sold as “ecstasy”.  When sold as ecstasy a number of deaths were attributed to the contaminated drug.    Basically, the user things they are consuming a recreational dose of MDMA, when they are getting a lethal dose of PMMA.

Party Drugs of Doom
In January of 2012, five deaths were  reported in British Columbia.  The province  this week  according to the Huffington Post, the province’s chief coroner said that reviews of 18 deaths related to the party drug since the start of 2011 were found to have PMMA present in at least five people’s systems.   Further, five people died in Calgary recently after taking what they thought was pure ecstasy.

Health officials say the PMMA can overheat the body leading to brain and organ damages.

PMMA has been associated with a large number of deaths across the world, including in Israel, Denmark and Taiwan, according to the Canadian Centre on SubstanceAbuse.

I found no data on if PMMA was addictive.  From the data in the Huffington Post, it looks to me like it is believed that someone mixed a batch of ecstasy incorrectly and managed to come up with this very toxic drug.

In BC there are 19 deaths attributed to the contaminated drug since August 2011.  There are 8 deaths in southern Alberta linked to PMMA in the past six months.

It isn’t known if this drug is addictive.  However other drugs are.  If you have an addiction, contact NarcononTrois Rivieres  to find out about what they can do to help you get rehabilitated.  1-877-782-7409

Aboriginals and OxyContin Crisis


What OxyContin Does
National Aboriginal Health Organization has an n article on their site, telling of the OxyContin addictions of their peoples, and the replacing with OxyNEO.  Purdue Pharmaceuticals discontinued the manufacture of OxyContin on the 29th of February 2012 in Canada.  It had been discontinued in other countries earlier.
The concern of the First Nations communities is that many of the residents are addicted to OxyContin which has been smuggled into their communities.  With the drug no longer available, there could be massive problems from withdrawal from this drug.

Per the article, there are 49 Nishnawbe Aski Nations (First Nations) communities in Northern Ontario, with drug addiction problems   with this drug, and one at least Cat Lake has 60% of its residents addicted to OxyContin.  The community has declared a state of emergency in their area due to the high addiction rate.  Fort Hope has 650 addicts; Matawa First Nations have 2000 addicts. 
A physician Dr. Chase in Fort Hope feels the addiction is of epidemic proportions.  He indicates in this article that solving the problem with tamper-proof medicine is not going to solve the problem.

The Nishnabe Aski Nation has also declared a state of emergency in 2009 as 10,000 band members are Oxy-dependent.
 
The drug was introduced in 2000, and over 300 deaths occurred in Ontario alone, according to a 2009 study at St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto.

The Huffington Post says First Nation leaders expect a health crisis will occur in the northern Ontario reserves when thousands of OxyContin addicts are suddenly without the drug.   Per this report, OxyContin is twice as strong as morphine. 


Several cases were lost by Purdue in regards to them making false claims that the drug is less addictive, less subject to abuse, and less likely to produce withdrawal symptoms compared to similar pain medications.  $600 Million in penalties were agreed to by Purdue for Fraud.  Of note is that between the time the drug was introduced and 2001, Purdue produced $2.8 Billion dollars in revenue for Purdue with OxyContin and represented 90% of the company’s sales
.
If you are one of the unfortunate who have become addicted to OxyContin, remember, you can always call Narconon Thois Rivieres.  They have specialists who deal with helping those addicted off the drug.

Types of Drug Rehab Facilities


It is important to take a look at the different types of Drug Rehab Facilities when you are deciding on one for yourself or your loved ones.  You want the best available help there is to help with the addictions.  Shop around and decide which facilities are the best for you, and your family. 

There are those facilities that are out patient rehab centers.   They are designed for the person who  has a job and other things going on in their lives, like children to look after or parents to take care of.   They offer a wide range of treatments to the addicts .  Often the patient needs only to check in a couple of evenings a week for treatment that ranges from psychological  to medical treatment.  Some places include psychotropic drugs in their care.  These care facilities do not include nutritional treatments for the patient.  The downfall of these is that it is so easy to slip off the track with so much time in the environment where the addiction started out in.

Inpatient care is sometimes offered and can also be referred to as residential treatment.  The patient is booked into the care unit for periods of 3 to 6 months.  During that time, the patient can partake of a number of treatments.  Sometimes the patients are prescribed psychotropic drugs to help take the edge off of withdrawal.  One or more sources I saw mentioned that drug addiction was the effect of a chemical imbalance in the brain.  There is no scientific testing that has proven such an idea.  Often these drugs are continued after rehab, even though many of them are addictive.  Do you really want to substitute one drug addiction for another?

There is another type of drug and alcohol addiction rehab facility, which seems to be mostly inpatient.  These are called  Holistic Drug Rehab Programs.  These tend to look at more natural types of treatments that deal mostly in working in three different areas of treatment which are mind, body and soul.  

Narconon Trois-Rivieres is a natural inpatient drug rehabilitation program.  The patients partake of supervised withdrawal that is done in such a way as to help reduce the discomfort of withdrawal.  Drugs and alcohol reduce the nutrients in the body, so everything possible is done to replenish what the body should have.  The body is then put through a program to get residue drugs from the fatty cells in the body.  Then study to further understand addiction and life.  After graduation, there are consults that occur to help the graduate through any rough spots in their rehabilitation. 

Do get further information at the Narconon.ca site and investigate further what Narconon can do for you.  The success rate of Narconon graduates 3 out of 4 have not returned to their addictions one year later.

Please call us if you need help with your or your loved one's addictions at 1 877 782 7409.  There are no waiting lists here.

Difference between a Cocaine Addict and A Crack Addict


The crack addict and the cocaine addict both use manufactured derivatives of the coca leaf – a powerful stimulant that mimics the effects of pleasure experience, and increases levels of dopamine in the brain. Crack cocaine addicts use crack, a crystal form of cocaine,  that is heated and inhaled. A cocaine addict uses cocaine in the form of a powder that can be snorted, smoked or injected.

“The chemical properties of crack and cocaine are very similar – both a crack addict and crack cocaine addicts use crack or cocaine to create good feelings about themselves, and to overcome emotional problems in their lives” reports JF Dubreuil of Narconon Trois-Rivieres.

A cocaine addict usually has a superior image to that of crack cocaine addicts. In Canada, and elsewhere, cocaine has associations with people who are successful, and empowered, people who are financial, people who like to party. Many people don’t see a cocaine addict in the same light, as degraded, dirty crack cocaine addicts that make their own crack cocaine and live unhealthy lives.

A cocaine addict will need more money to support his habit – cocaine is regarded as pure, and comes with an expensive price tag. The image maintained by high end cocaine users that they are both powerful and in control is belied by the fact that, just like any other drug user, a cocaine addict is controlled by his habit. A cocaine addict might present a front of being a high achiever – it is only a matter of time before cocaine use will intrude. Many a cocaine addict has not come to sense or reason about the truth of his destructive habit until he has lost family and friends, his reputation, his livelihood, and all of his assets as a direct result of being a cocaine addict. Too late the cocaine addict realizes the damage that cocaine use does to your health.

A crack addict generally is in need of a more intense experience than can be obtained from cocaine. Inhaling the vapor of crack cocaine produces intense effects on the brain, and is extremely damaging, both physically and emotionally.

Cocaine rehab in Canada, is available to both the crack addict and cocaine addicts. To be effective cocaine rehab must include complete cocaine detox, with all inclusive programs that support cocaine rehab at an emotional level.

In Canada, there are comprehensive, effective cocaine rehab programs that use 100% drug free methods to enable complete cocaine detox, with therapeutic training routines that help strengthen the resolve of both crack and cocaine addicts to fully recover from their addiction.

Crack rehab in Canada that is comprehensive and effective enables the cocaine addict and the crack addict to rebuild a new life, independent of cocaine, or crack, and addiction free. A crack addict or a cocaine addict who chooses comprehensive crack rehab or cocaine rehab for their addiction can expect to achieve full recovery if they do the work. Cocaine addiction can be overcome, bringing new vision and hope to those addicted to crack and cocaine.

Narconon offers a crack cocaine rehab program that has been proven efficient to help crack and cocaine addict to beat their addiction. For more information about the drug-free rehabilitation program of Narconon, call Narconon Trois-Rivieres at 1-877-782-7409

Anything Can Be Overcome


William Benitez's Story

When battling an addiction, there will be people along the way who will try to push you down further. You will come across people who will not show you any respect, and who will not understand what it is you are going through. If this happens, do not give up on yourself, and never lose hope. There is a way to overcome addiction, and you can live a drug free life everyday for as long as you live. Take a look at the story below about the founder of the Narconon® program, William Benitez.

William Benitez was a multiple-time convicted felon, and was a hard-core heroin addict for over 19-years. He was sentenced to the Arizona State Prison after being convicted once again for a drug-related offence. Here are the events that occurred before Will was processed at the prison.

He walked towards the prison guard, ashamed at his failures yet again to stay off drugs, despite looking for answers for quite some time without finding success. Will said to the guard, “ I’m not proud to be here again. You know I’ve tried, and tried to find the answers. I’ve been reading about this, but I can’t seem to stay clean. I need help, can you help me?”

The guard looked at Will and said, “You know the best thing you can do, the best thing you can do for yourself, for your wife, for your kids, and for this society; I’ll let you have my gun, go behind that building and shoot yourself. Because Will, that is really what would be best for you, your family, and the rest of us.”

Desperate and without hope, William was looking for help, and when he asked for help to a person of authority, only more hopelessness was given to him.



During his last stay at the Arizona State Prison, Mr. Benitez read a book by L. Ron Hubbard, The Fundamentals of Thought. The information it contained enabled him to overcome his own addiction, something he had unsuccessfully tried to do for years. Then, in 1966, after corresponding with Mr. Hubbard who offered advice, he initiated the Narconon program to assist his fellow inmates and addicts to overcome their substance abuse problems.


Many inmates asked to join the popular
first Narconon program. It had 60 students
before spreading to other prisons.

S. G.'s Success Story

This had changed my life. I came here scared, angry, hostile, and I was very jumpy. I have become the person I always knew was inside of me. I have nothing to fear, nothing to hide and no regrets. I am calm, happy, and content. I now have ambition plus the drive to succeed, and I plan to live a healthy drug free life. Thank you Narconon for bringing me out of my shell. It was dark and scary in there, and now I have light in my life!
