Crack Addiction - A Harsh Reality

09 January 2011

There is nothing pretty about crack cocaine. Crack cocaine use is a growing problem in inner cities and it is moving to the suburbs. Crack abuse affects society on many levels. The high is intense and the person high on crack feels up and motivated but it doesn't last long. The viciousness of this addiction sets in soon after the addict runs out of dope or the money to get it.

People who sell crack often sell it to support their habit. There are people who sell it to make money and do not use it. They are the ones driving luxury cars and living in high rent districts who seem to have no means of work or support.

Crack Cocaine Abusers - Why They Lied to You Again

08 January 2011

Crack cocaine abusers and liars, so the families and associates of crack users tell me, are one and the same. Is it possible to remove the lies while cocaine is still being abused? Hope I don't have to answer that question for you.
Yet, that is the situation I am put in time and time again as a drug rehab consultant. The family or spouse calls me and tells me: "I love him dearly, but I just don't know if I can trust him anymore. He keeps telling me he's going to quit and then I catch him again. It's getting so that I don't believe anything he tells me."
Drug abusers can be so mentally bankrupt they can't even pay attention. They stare at you and agree with everything you say, then can't follow through to do any of it.
