Stratford, CT Drug Rehab Centers Alcoholism Rehab Programs in Stratford

The first stage of substance use is called "Recreational" or "Experimental" substance use. Oftentimes for many people that start to experiment with substances, it goes no further and they decide it is not for them. Sometimes the decision to never do it again is due to a bad experience or reaction to the substance; these are the lucky ones because unfortunately many other people have a pleasant experience motivating them to do it again and again. These individuals will advance to the 2nd stage of substance use, "Continued Use". When an individual progresses to the Continued Use stage and they continue abusing the drug or alcohol they will quickly advance to the 3rd stage of substance abuse known as "Tolerance". At this stage the individual starts to become immune to the regular amounts of the substance they are using. At this stage they must ingest larger and larger amounts of the drug or substance for them to feel the effect of the substance. As the person continues to use more and more of the substance, they continue to develop an even greater tolerance to the substance. At this point the person must take massive doses of the drug just to experience any effects. It is at this point where the individual has reached stage 4 of substance abuse, and what is known as "Addiction". The person at this point will find that it is practically impossible to stop using the drug, even when they no longer enjoy using it. Actually, at this point they know that the substance is destroying them and they want to quit, but they may not be able to quit by themselves without help. Even when their behavior is devastating their family and loved ones, they usually cannot stop using by their own will. They will try everything possible to stop themselves and at times succeed for short periods, only to start using again just when things seemed to be improving. If you or someone you love has become addicted to drugs or alcohol, support and assistance is usually required for recovery.
