Oneonta, AL Drug Rehab Programs Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities in Oneonta

The first stage of substance use is called "Experimental" or "Recreational" substance use. For many people that begin to experiment with substances, it goes no further than that and they determine it's not for them. Sometimes the decision to never do it again is due to a bad experience or reaction to the drug or the event; these are the blessed people because unfortunately many other people end up having an enjoyable experience driving them to do it again and again. These are the ones that advance to the 2nd stage of substance use, "Continued Use". When an individual gets to the Continued Use stage and they continue abusing the drug or alcohol again and again, they will eventually reach the 3rd stage of substance use which is called the "Tolerance" stage. At this stage the individual starts to become immune to regular doses of the substance they are using. At this stage they must take larger and larger amounts of the substance in order to feel any euphoria from the substance. As the individual keeps using more and more of the drug, they develop an even greater tolerance to the substance. Now the individual feels the need to take very large amounts of the drug just to feel the effects. It is at this point that the individual has reached stage 4 of substance abuse, and what is known as full blown "Addiction". The person at this stage will consider that it is impossible to stop using the drug. In fact, at this point they know that the drug is slowly killing them and they want to quit, but they discover they may not be able to stop by themselves without help. Even when their actions and behaviors are devastating their loved ones, they may not be able to quit by their own will. They will try everything possible to stop themselves and at times succeed for short periods, only to relapse just when things look like they are improving.
