ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 2 Comments »

Now for relapse prevention for alcoholism there are some now that been used that works very well. The old school medications that most people think of when they hear about medication for treatment of alcoholism is antabuse that is the one if you drink it makes you very sick. Basically it blocks an enzyme in the metabolism of alcohol and if you drink alcohol a toxic metabolite will build up and make you very sick, often times will put you in the hospital can be dangerous so it’s not the best medication of choice to start with most people. Naltrexone and naltrexone base medication such as vivotrol are more commonly used and work very well and are a lot safer than antabuse. There is also campral which is used to reduce cravings, the more popular one now a days is vivotrol which is naltrexone in the form of a shot that last a month and it does work better than the pill naltrexone, it helps relapse prevention if somebody drinks they don’t really get sick but they don’t feel great and they tend not to get the pleasure they use to get from drinking so it helps discourage more drinking. Relapse rates are lower on these medications and they are fine choices for use on most patients.

If ALL prescription medications were allowed to become OTC,would we really see a major increase in drug abuse?

DRUG ADDICTION REHAB 2 Comments »

First off, a certain percentage of the population will always abuse some sort of drug legal or illegal. The controlled prescription drugs, (Vicodin, Oxycontin, Xanax, Valium etc), if these drugs were available at the local Wallgreens but without a prescription, would we then have a nation of drug addicts? It seems to me that, yes, initially we would see an increase in problems, but because of the now OTC status of these drugs, we would not see the major criminal aspects involved with obtaining the illegal variety, because people would now have a steady supply, and not need to go on the streets. Now obviously this is similar to just legalizing all curentlly illegal drugs,(cocaine, METH etc.), but these drugs have no acceptable medical value,and are very dangerous, so they shouldn’t be legalized. But the medications that DO have medical value, could perhaps be available OTC, and maybe this would cut down on the abuse of the illegal variety. What do you think?
