Drug Addiction Treatment Facility

The Rapid Drug Detox (RDD) Center invented the RDD Method™ for detoxification from opiates and other addicting drugs. It’s no suprise that patients come to the Center from all over the world for safe, medically-supervised Rapid Drug Detoxification.

Opiates and other addicting drugs attach to opiate receptors in your body. In the short term, they can relieve pain, but if taken for any length of time as a recent video from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA/NIH) confirms, they can become addicting. Over 2 million Americans, and 30 million people worldwide have become addicted. While “cold turkey” withdrawal may be possible, it is difficult and painful, therefore, most who try it unfortunately don’t make it.

The RDD Method™ offers a fast and safe medical procedure that eliminates most of the withdrawal symptoms.… [Continue Reading]

An alarming new study has shown that Americans consume 80 percent of the world’s supply of painkillers. This translates to more than 110 tons of pure, addictive opiates every year as the nation’s prescription drug abuse epidemic spirals out of control.

Police are reporting increases in robberies and other crimes by people who are addicted to oxycodone and hydrocodone, the key ingredient in most prescription pain pills.

Another sobering statistic is that this figure gives every single American 64 Percocets or Vicodin; commonly used pain killers. Pain pill prescriptions continue to surge, up 600 percent in a decade, thanks to doctors who are increasingly compliant to hand out opiate drugs to patients.

Even worse is the fact that more of these people are taking these pain pills not for pain-related issues – but to feel normal after they become addicted or to merely get high. Their drug abuse leads to 14,800 deaths a year, which is more than from heroin and cocaine combined.

A Long Island, New York, pharmacist, says doctors are far too willing to hand out prescription painkillers. “We’ve become a society of wusses,” he says.

The pharmacy stopped carrying all of the major addictive pain killer prescription drugs after they were robbed twice by addicts looking to prevent withdrawal.

Police are reporting increases in robberies and other crimes by people who are addicted to oxycodone and hydrocodone, the key ingredient in most prescription pain pills.

In one startling demonstration of the high toll this has wreaked on contemporary society, one of the people lured into crime by drug dependency was 36-year-old man that once owned a successful business in New Jersey.

But an addiction to painkillers led to him taking 90 Percocet’s a day. When the money ran out he was desperate for more drugs. One day, he walked into a bank and handed the teller a note demanding cash. He was caught and arrested shortly after the robbery.

When the police came to bust him, he said he was actually relieved. “I looked in my rear-view mirror and I saw the cops, I saw their lights flashing and I really, really, really remember thinking, well this is it. I’m going to get clean now,” He then spent three years in prison.

ONE COMMUNITY, 98 + FATAL OVERDOSES, THOUSANDS OF LIVES, OVERTAKEN BY DRUGS

If there is a war on drugs then Jodi Barber and Christine Brant are on the front lines doing battle in their community. These two moms have accomplished their goal of making a short length documentary featuring the struggles of addiction through the lives of young adults. Jodi’s son Jarrod died from an overdose of a prescription drug she had never heard of until the night he died. His peers had heard of it though, and within weeks more young lives were gone and many more kids were left to battle addiction. Realizing that accidental death from overdosing was an epidemic, not just in their suburban community but across the U.S., they decided to make a documentary to show at school assemblies and youth groups. This documentary features the battle of addiction as told by those whose lives were overtaken by drugs. You will understand the struggle these brave young people take on each day to stay alive. The goal of this documentary is to save lives by educating our youth on the truth about addiction and the deadly consequences drugs often have. Approved by school district superintendents across the country and featuring specialists in the fields of medicine and addiction, this film delivers accurate and up to date information on the type of drugs infiltrating our communities and how to help our youth avoid them.
