Alabaster, AL Drug Rehabilitation Centers Alcohol Treatment Facilities in Alabaster

The 1st stage of substance use is called "Recreational" or "Experimental" substance use. Oftentimes for many people that begin to experiment with drugs or alcohol, it goes no further than that and they decide it's not for them. Sometimes rejection to future drug use is due to a bad reaction or experience to the drug or the event; these are the lucky ones because unfortunately many others end up having a pleasurable experience motivating them to continue to experiment with the substance. These individuals will advance to the 2nd stage of substance use, "Continued Use". When a person gets to the Continued Use stage and they continue abusing the drug or substance over and over, they will eventually progress to the 3rd stage of substance abuse which is called the "Tolerance" stage. At this stage the individual begins to develop immunity to the regular amounts of the drug they are using. At this point they feel the need to take more and more of the drug in order to feel the euphoria from the substance. As the individual continues to use more and more of the drug, they develop more and more tolerance to the drug. At this point the individual has to ingest very large amounts of the substance in order to experience any effects. It is at this point where the person has arrived at stage 4 of substance abuse, and what is recognized as full blown "Addiction". The person at this point will consider that it is impossible to quit using the drug, even when they no longer enjoy using it. In fact, at this stage they usually know that the substance is slowly killing them and they desire to quit, but they may not be able to quit on their own. Even when their behavior is devastating their family and loved ones, they usually cannot quit by their own will. They will commonly attempt many times to stop themselves and at times briefly succeed for periods, only to start using again just when things appeared to be getting better.
