Tumblr media
My brother picked me up from the rehabilitation center and I was greeted with my members sitting in the back of the truck. They all popped confetti and screamed in admiration for me as I was fully better. I couldn't help but smile and screamed with them. I felt like a changed man and I was determined to leave the drugs and drinking alone for good.
I was able to get over my father's death and my mother walking out. All I really needed was someone to talk to instead of having my emotions be bawled up. I was overwhelmed with my own self-stressing myself out. I had amazing resources but ended doing something that I wasn't supposed to.
The members really kept me in check throughout our comeback album. During interviews, I was prepared for the questions where fans were desperate to know. I told them the truth and made a promise to everyone, letting them know I won't go through such a path ever again.
I was diagnosed with major depression and still have to take anti depressants every day to keep me from doing anything stupid. My members- Jaehyun specifically, was on my ass about me taking my pills as if I was some kid. I eventually took an understanding and just listened to him.
It was a friday night and our band was backstage getting ready to go on the tonight show with Jay Leno. I was a bit nervous as it was going to be my first time being in front of a live audience in awhile. I was getting my hair and makeup done, as my leg were shaking on the chair. Yugyeom took noticed as he was sitting next to me reading a magazine.
"Kook, you alright bro?"
"Yeah..just nervous"
"It'll be okay"
Yugyeom gave me a reassuring grin before caressing my thigh. It honestly calmed me down a bit. I was nearly on the verge of breaking down into a panic attack. I did my breathing exercises before it was time to go on to national television.
The interview went very well and was comfortable after Jay didn't say anything about my addiction but instead asked if I was a-ok. The band went along to perform our new single flawlessly; leaving the fans screaming. I could tell people really did miss and care for me when I took a moment to take out my earpiece. They were chanting my name.
It made me a little teary eyed as I walked back to our dressing room.
Saturday afternoon came around and me and the gang was out just having a chill time. We walked around manhattan and eventually just ended up at a mall. We all had some shopping done and just took ourselves a break at the food court. Eunwoo was kind enough to treat everyone with a burger meal-which we dreaded on paying him back.
"Kook, I just wanna say- we all wanna say that we are proud of you. If you have any issues please..don't hesitate to tell us." Eunwoo said, giving me a purple and black box. "What is it?" I asked smiling out of curiosity..still having some burger in my mouth.
"It's a gift from us- to you." Jaehyun answered. "Open it." I went along and opened the box. Inside was a Vivienne Westwood ring. A ring similar to a character from an anime I took fond of while in rehab. There was also a note inside it that read...
Jungkook, were so proud of you that you made it this far in your life. We were all scared for you and wanted whats best for you. We hope in the future we will always bring a smile to your face as we play our instruments. We love you Jungkook and we will be here with you until the day we die. - The rest of owlsleep
I read the note at least three times before getting up to form a group hug. I put on the ring and it fit perfectly. I really don't think I would be here without them...more likely her as well. We continued our chatter on random topics and ate our lunch.
I eventually became full and just sat at the table listening to the guys bickering about power rangers. I wasn't really looking at anything particular in the food court but the second I did, my heart skipped a beat. (name) was sitting at a table, at least 7 tables away from us. My smile faded seeing a guy sit next to her , kissing her on the cheek.
I never stopped thinking about ever since that night me and Jaehyun gotten into that argument. I wonder if she knows that im alive...If im..ok? I couldn't just walk up to her after all I said to her. I felt defeated. I guess this was karma doing it's work.
"Kook you ready to go?" Snapping out of my thoughts all the trashed was picked up and Yugyeom was standing there waiting for an answer. I chuckled out of embarrassment. "Yeah.."
We walked out of the food court and I had made no moves. It's what I deserve and I know now, she's happy and relaxed with someone else.
That's all I care about.
Tumblr media
a/n: i hope yall like pt2. somewhat happy ending but it's what kook deserves. yall like the Nana reference ?

Really Hazbin Hotel isn’t as anti-Christianity as some people might praise or demonize it for being. Yeah, the show is “remixing” some of the source material but it never denounces Christianity or even discredits it (and God isn’t even touched). The show itself still explicitly operates within Christian morality too; pretty much the entire way that the Hotel rehabilitates sinners is by having them adhere to christian ethics (ie: no sex before marriage, abstaining from alcohol or drugs, doing good deeds unselfishly, no stealing, etc.). Or at least in theory; the show talks about these things but not all of them are always adhered to by the characters, but whatever.
Adam - and the other winners and angels - might not know themselves what exactly gets someone into heaven (for whatever reason) but Charlie is using Christianity (and Catholicism too probably) as her bases for getting the sinners out of hell. A course of action that works considering that by the end Sir Pentious ends up in Heaven.
Overall the show felt more like a critique of bad faith and hypocritical Christians than it did something that was bad mouthing the word of God, or whatever. Yes, the show was questioning the concept of a God that’s supposed to be forgiving allowing eternal suffering post-death to be a thing, but it didn’t rip the religion to shreds either. The show explicitly believes in Christianity, that’s what the hotel is about), it just also questions it and it’s followers a bit along the way.
*correction: just drinking alcohol isn’t a sin, but over indulgence is so

CNN Is Hosting a Town Hall for a Guy Who Tried to Get Me Killed Donald Trump tried to end American democracy. Why is CNN throwing him a rehabilitation party? By Michael Fanone
I woke up last week to a text from my mother. Its contents hit me like a sucker punch. “CNN is hosting a town hall with Trump; Kaitlin Collins is moderating. WTF!!!” Then came confirmation: CNN will in fact host a town hall on Wednesday, May 10, in prime time.
I can already hear the questions: And why shouldn’t they? Donald Trump is the clear Republican frontrunner for the presidency enjoying at least 70 percent of the Republican primary vote. Why wouldn’t it be appropriate for a network to have him on?
My response to those questions is simple: Twice-impeached former President Donald J. Trump lied countless times to the American people, most famously when he told us (and continues to tell us) that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and that he was the winner.
So what, you say? They are just words — and certainly not the first time a politician has lied to constituents.
I’ll tell you why this is different. Those lies persuaded thousands of his supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, violently attacking uniformed police officers and terrorizing members of Congress and their staff. I witnessed this assault firsthand as an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department, who like hundreds of MPD officers, responded to the U.S. Capitol Police Department’s calls for assistance after their officers were overrun by Trump’s mob. As a result of my efforts that day I was severely beaten, struck numerous times with a taser, and suffered a heart attack as well as a traumatic brain injury. One police officer died, and several others took their own lives in the wake of that barbaric day. 
It is not just that Trump’s lies and political rhetoric sparked an uprising at our nation’s Capitol. Trump, as U.S. president, lied in an effort to defraud the American people and overturn a free and fair election in an attempt to remain in power. (See the January 6th Select Committee’s Report.) In doing so he betrayed every aspect of his oath to represent us as Americans. We no longer need to imagine what Trump is capable of. He has shown us that he is an authoritarian who will use any means at his disposal, including violence, to remain in power.
Putting him onstage, having him answer questions like a normal candidate who didn’t get people killed in the process of trying to end the democracy he’s attempting to once again run, normalizes what Trump did. It sends a message that attempting a coup is just part of the process; that accepting election results is a choice; and that there are no consequences, in the media or in politics or anywhere else, for rejecting them.  
Trump is well aware of all that. Since his announcement that he was seeking the presidency for a third time, he has offered to pardon his insurrectionist supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, calling them “Patriots” and “Great Americans.” He has even incorporated recordings of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Justice for All” as sung by the J6 Prison Choir, a group of inmates imprisoned for their roles in the violent insurrection, into his rallies — giving these violent criminals a place of prominence in his campaign.
Then, this past March, Trump held a campaign event in Waco, Texas, on the 30-year anniversary of the armed siege there that took the lives of four special agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). In this not-so-subtle public display, Trump further embraced the anti-government violent extremist movement now spearheaded by groups like the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and the Oath Keepers. Let’s never forget that Waco was preceded by Ruby Ridge (which took the life of a deputy U.S. marshal) and then followed by the Oklahoma City bombing. Three deadly events involving white supremacists and anti-government extremist groups armed to the teeth attacking law enforcement. Sound familiar? What American presidential candidate would want to be seen aligned with groups like these?
Now, full disclosure: I “work” for CNN. That is, I receive a monthly check from them and have since abruptly quit my job as an MPD officer almost one year to the day after I was injured. In the nearly two years that I have worked for this network, I have had countless conversations with its employees, producers, hosts, journalists, camera operators, etc. They all have stories about the Trump years. When the former president attacked them (many by name), he inspired countless acts of violence, both threatened and overt, from his supporters. Many employees told me they were afraid to wear anything that identified them as CNN employees when out in public. So why lend your network’s platform to someone like that?
In a recent trip to CNN’s Washington, D.C., bureau, I sat silently in the green room as guests, anchors, and employees filtered through and clamored about how outrageous it was that CBS would give Marjorie Taylor Green an interview on its prestigious 60 Minutes series. Good question? I hope my fellow CNN employees have the balls to raise those same questions with the network executives.      
...
In the past, CNN has recognized the dangers of allowing election deniers a public platform and would not allow them on-air. Under new “leadership,” that policy has been discarded as evidenced by CNN’s decision to allow the chief election denier, former President Donald J. Trump, a prominent time slot in its evening lineup. As if Trump were a normal candidate who had not attempted to steal an election by force. In the wake of Jan. 6, Trump’s ability to communicate to the masses was essentially stripped away from him. Twitter banned him for “life.” No major media outlets would have him on. So what has changed?

Brain Aneurysm: Causes, Symptoms, Risk Factors, and Treatment Options
Tumblr media
A brain aneurysm, also known as an intracranial or cerebral aneurysm, occurs when a weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain bulges and fills with blood. It resembles a small, berry-shaped sac hanging from the artery. When a brain aneurysm ruptures or leaks, it can cause a life-threatening condition known as a hemorrhagic stroke, which requires immediate medical attention.
Causes of Brain Aneurysm
Brain aneurysms often develop in the arteries located at the base of the brain, especially at branching points where arterial walls are weakest. These weak areas are more susceptible to rupture.
Signs and Symptoms of a Brain Aneurysm
Common signs and symptoms include:
Severe headache
Nausea and vomiting
Stiff neck
Double or blurred vision
Sensitivity to light
Seizures
Drooping eyelids
Loss of consciousness
Confusion
A leaking aneurysm may cause a sudden, severe headache, while an unruptured aneurysm can cause localized pain, double vision, and facial numbness.
Risk Factors for Brain Aneurysm
Certain factors can increase the likelihood of developing a brain aneurysm, including:
Age (more common in adults)
Gender (women are more susceptible)
Smoking
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Drug use (e.g., cocaine)
Excessive alcohol consumption
Genetic conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
Polycystic kidney disease
Congenital conditions, such as brain AVM (arteriovenous malformation)
Family history of aneurysms
Complications from a Brain Aneurysm
When a brain aneurysm ruptures, it causes bleeding that can damage or destroy surrounding brain cells, increasing pressure inside the skull. This disruption of blood and oxygen flow can result in unconsciousness or even death. Other complications may include:
Rebleeding
Vasospasm (narrowing of blood vessels)
Hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain)
Hyponatremia (low sodium levels)
Diagnosis of Brain Aneurysm
At Yashoda Hospital and Research Centre, Ghaziabad, various diagnostic tools are used to detect brain aneurysms, especially in patients with a family history of the condition. These may include:
CT Scan: Produces 3D images of the brain.
MRI: Uses radio waves and magnetic fields to capture brain images.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Test: Checks for blood in the fluid surrounding the brain and spine.
Cerebral Angiogram: Detects aneurysms by imaging the brain's blood vessels.
Treatment for Brain Aneurysm
Treatment options depend on factors like the size, location, and whether the aneurysm has ruptured. Urgent treatment is required for ruptured aneurysms, with several surgical options available:
Surgical Clipping: A metal clip is applied at the base of the aneurysm to halt blood flow.
Endovascular Coiling: A catheter is inserted into the artery, and tiny platinum coils are placed inside the aneurysm to block blood flow.
Flow Diverter Surgery: A stent is placed in the artery to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm.
Symptom Management and Preventive Care
To manage symptoms and prevent complications, doctors may recommend:
Pain relief medications (e.g., acetaminophen) for headaches
Calcium channel blockers to prevent blood vessel narrowing
Anti-seizure medications for seizures
Drainage procedures (ventricular or lumbar catheters) to reduce pressure on the brain
Shunt surgery for fluid drainage
Rehabilitative therapy to help regain lost skills due to brain damage
By recognizing the signs and symptoms early, and understanding the risk factors, timely intervention can prevent life-threatening complications from a brain aneurysm.
Conclusion:
Early diagnosis is key to effectively treating a brain aneurysm. Being vigilant and recognizing the warning signs can make a significant difference. Immediate medical attention and timely intervention for a ruptured aneurysm greatly improve survival rates and recovery outcomes. While recovery from an unruptured aneurysm is typically fast, a ruptured aneurysm may require multiple surgeries, and the recovery period can vary based on the extent of damage. Prompt action is crucial for better long-term prognosis.

How to Cure Vertigo: Effective Tips and Treatments
Vertigo is a sensation that makes you feel like you or your surroundings are spinning, leading to dizziness, nausea, and balance issues. It often results from inner ear problems, migraines, or other medical conditions. While vertigo can be distressing, there are several effective treatments and techniques that can help alleviate symptoms and, in some cases, cure vertigo completely. In this article, we’ll explore practical strategies, exercises, and medical treatments to manage and cure vertigo.
Tumblr media
Understanding the Causes of Vertigo
Before diving into the remedies, it’s crucial to understand what causes vertigo. The most common cause is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), which occurs when tiny calcium particles called canaliths move into the inner ear canals, disrupting balance. Other causes include:
Meniere’s Disease: A disorder of the inner ear characterized by severe dizziness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of the inner ear, often due to a viral infection, leading to vertigo and balance issues.
Migraines: Some people experience vertigo as a symptom of migraines, even without a headache.
Inner Ear Infections: Bacterial or viral infections can affect the inner ear, causing dizziness and imbalance.
Understanding the underlying cause is essential for selecting the appropriate treatment.
Home Remedies for Vertigo
Several home remedies and exercises can help alleviate vertigo symptoms:
Epley Maneuver
The Epley maneuver is one of the most effective exercises for treating BPPV, a common cause of vertigo. It involves a series of specific head and body movements that help relocate the displaced calcium particles in the inner ear. Here’s how to perform it:
Sit upright on a bed with your legs extended and turn your head 45 degrees toward the affected ear.
Lie down quickly on your back with your head still turned; hold this position for 30 seconds.
Turn your head 90 degrees to the opposite side and hold for another 30 seconds.
Roll your body in the same direction until you are lying on your side, with your nose pointing down. Stay for 30 seconds.
Slowly sit up and remain still for a few minutes.
Performing this maneuver a few times can significantly reduce symptoms.
Brandt-Daroff Exercises
Brandt-Daroff exercises are another set of movements that can help manage vertigo symptoms by retraining your brain to ignore abnormal signals from your inner ear.
Sit on the edge of a bed or chair.
Lie down quickly on one side with your nose pointing up at a 45-degree angle. Stay for 30 seconds or until the dizziness stops.
Return to the sitting position and stay still for 30 seconds.
Repeat on the other side.
Repeat this sequence several times daily, or as recommended by a healthcare provider.
Stay Hydrated
Dehydration can worsen vertigo symptoms. Ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day. Limiting caffeine and alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration, is also beneficial.
Ginger Tea
Ginger has natural anti-nausea properties that can help reduce vertigo symptoms. Drinking ginger tea or chewing on ginger root can be soothing and help manage dizziness and nausea associated with vertigo.
Manage Stress and Anxiety
Stress and anxiety can exacerbate vertigo. Techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga can help calm your nervous system and reduce stress-induced vertigo episodes.
Medical Treatments for Vertigo
If home remedies do not provide sufficient relief, medical treatments may be necessary. Consulting a healthcare provider can help identify the right treatment for your specific condition.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)
VRT is a type of physical therapy designed to strengthen the vestibular (balance) system. A therapist guides you through exercises that help your brain adjust to the inner ear’s abnormal signals. This therapy can significantly reduce vertigo symptoms and improve balance.
Medications
Depending on the cause, medications may be prescribed to help manage vertigo symptoms:
Antihistamines: Such as meclizine or dimenhydrinate, help reduce dizziness and nausea.
Antiemetics: Medications like promethazine help manage nausea and vomiting.
Benzodiazepines: Such as diazepam or lorazepam, can help reduce severe vertigo but should be used cautiously due to their sedative effects.
Diuretics: For Meniere’s disease, diuretics can help reduce fluid buildup in the ear.
Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any medication.
Canalith Repositioning Procedures
In addition to the Epley maneuver, other canalith repositioning procedures performed by a healthcare provider can help relocate calcium particles in the inner ear, offering immediate relief from vertigo symptoms.
Surgery
In rare cases, when vertigo is caused by structural issues in the inner ear or tumors, surgery may be required. This is usually considered only when all other treatments fail.
Lifestyle Changes to Prevent Vertigo
Preventing vertigo involves making certain lifestyle adjustments:
Avoid Sudden Movements: Move slowly and avoid sudden changes in head position, especially when getting up or lying down.
Sleep with Your Head Elevated: Sleeping on multiple pillows can help keep your head elevated and prevent the movement of inner ear particles that trigger vertigo.
Limit Salt, Caffeine, and Alcohol: These can increase fluid retention in the body, potentially aggravating Meniere’s disease and other inner ear conditions.
Stay Active: Regular exercise, including balance training, can help your body maintain stability and reduce vertigo symptoms.
When to Seek Medical Help
While many cases of vertigo can be managed with home remedies and exercises, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider if:
Your symptoms are severe or worsen over time.
Vertigo is accompanied by hearing loss, vision changes, or weakness.
You experience frequent falls or injuries due to balance issues.
Medications or home treatments do not provide relief.
Conclusion
Vertigo can be a challenging condition, but it’s manageable with the right combination of home remedies, exercises, and medical treatments. Understanding the cause of your vertigo is crucial for effective management. If symptoms persist or impact your quality of life, seek professional guidance to find the most suitable treatment. By incorporating these strategies, you can reduce vertigo episodes and improve your overall well-being.

What Happens at an Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centre?
Tumblr media
What Does an Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centre Treat?
Most rehab centres offer treatment programmes to treat:
drug addiction
alcohol addiction
behavioural addiction
Treatment programmes ranges from one to three month, but extended care options are frequently available.
Even though many people battling addictions also have a psychological disorder like depression, anxiety, or PTSD, few alcohol and drug rehab centres are equipped to treat co-occurring disorders. A co-occurring disorder is when someone has an addiction and at least one psychological disorder at the same time. It is vital that people with co-occurring disorders receive care from a psychologist, psychiatrist, and/or trauma specialist alongside addiction treatment for successful recovery.
Even fewer rehab centres offer onsite alcohol and drug detox programmes. Supervised medical withdrawal requires a proper clinic and psychiatric doctors, and many rehabs lack these vital resources. Withdrawing in hospital then transferring to rehab does not provide continuity of care or a smooth transition into rehabilitation it is stressful and uncomfortable.
Alcohol and Drug Detoxes
Detox can be difficult and potentially lethal when attempted alone. Uncontrolled withdrawal can have swift and dramatic medical consequences. Some alcohol and drug rehab centres have onsite detox clinics, specialists, and partnerships with local hospitals to help you safely through the painful withdrawal process. Unsurprisingly, medically-supervised detoxes are significantly more successful than DIY attempts.
Medical detoxes in an alcohol and drug rehab centre are a controlled withdrawal, carefully designed to make your experience as smooth and safe as possible. You are cocooned in a safe environment, far away from stress and negative influences, while professionals administer round-the-clock medical and psychological assistance. This gives your body and brain time to eliminate detrimental substances safely.
Medication is sometimes used to ease the symptoms of withdrawal. It mimics the effects of alcohol or drugs and allows the body and brain to adapt to gradually decreasing doses. Cravings are more manageable and you feel calm and soothed. Withdrawal medications include naltrexone, disulfiram, methadone, and buprenorphine.
Co-treating Addiction and Mental Health Disorders
A co-occurring disorder is when addiction is present at the same time as at least one mental illness. It can increase your risk of treatment-noncompliance, demotivation, early discontinuation of your treatment programme, and relapse.
Long-term substance abuse can chemically alter the body’s physiology and cause mental illness. For example, cocaine addiction frequently leads to anxiety and paranoia, and heroin abuse can disrupt the brain’s pleasure centres and cause depression.
Sometimes, a person with a pre-existing mental disorder may self-medicate with drugs or alcohol. PTSD and prescription painkiller abuse go hand-in-hand because long-term reliance on the soothing effects can quickly turn into an addiction.
Most alcohol and drug rehab centres will conduct a mental health evaluation to determine if you have a co-occurring disorder. Your counsellor will develop an integrated dual diagnosis treatment plan and tailor your rehabilitation programme, counselling sessions, and outcome goals to suit your needs.
Medication is sometimes combined with other therapies to treat co-occurring disorders. Examples include:
Antidepressants
Anti-anxiety medication
Mood stabilizing drugs
Atypical antipsychotic medication
Private and Group Counselling
You can start your treatment programme as soon as you finish detoxing — if detox was necessary in the first place. Private counselling plays a significant role in recovery at an alcohol and drug rehab centre. It is non-judgemental and helps you dig deep, dissect the reasons behind your behaviours, instil a sense of optimism and hope, achieve sobriety, and learn techniques to cope with temptations, triggers, and stressful situations after you return home.
Substance abuse and recovery can be excruciating alone. Research shows that group counselling is equally as effective as individual counselling. Indeed, for many people, it’s one of the most useful aspects of their treatment, tapping into our natural desire to congregate, share common experiences, and bond with those around us.
Group therapy sessions are an opportunity for self-expression, positive peer reinforcement, and healthy new relationships. They offer insights, ideas, accountability, and motivation that may not have been possible in private sessions alone.
Individual and group counselling used together offers a well-rounded therapeutic tool for treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.
What Types of Therapy are Offered?
Let’s look at a few of the many different kinds of therapy offered by an alcohol and drug rehab centre.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
CBT and MBCT are talking therapies. CBT and MBCT counselling help addicts realise connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. These therapies are used in the majority of rehab centres because they are highly effective at aiding recovery and preventing relapse. With CBT and MBCT, addicts can finally understand the reasons behind their substance abuse making it much easier to overcome addiction.
With guidance from a trained counsellor, you will hone in on the negative thoughts and behaviours associated with your craving triggers such as pressure at work, time with particular friends, or simply feeling tired, hungry, or lonely.
You will be able to recognise environments and circumstances that lead to substance abuse, learn how to avoid and remove yourself from triggers, and use specific techniques to cope without turning to drugs or alcohol.
After identifying negative situations and behaviours, your therapist will help you list objective evidence to support or disprove your negative thoughts. Then, you will develop new responses to those triggers.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Stress increases the likeliness of substance abuse. MBSR soothes stress with meditation, body awareness, and yoga. It also helps you untangle the unconscious interactions between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Ultimately, MBSR drives a conscious wedge between cravings and actual drug or alcohol use.
The 12 step of AA
The 12 Step Philosophy was introduced in the 1930as and is still widely used today. Following the twelve steps means admitting you have a problem beyond your control, turning to God as you understand him, conducting a moral inventory of self and admitting to any wrongs, asking God for assistance and allowing his help, making amends with people you have wronged, praying, meditation, and finally, awakening spiritually. Research suggests that 12 Step Philosophy is especially effective for patients with a strong support network and this includes local Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings back home.
Family Therapy
When your family or partner attend therapy they can learn more about their role in your life, how to help you gain awareness of your behaviours, and devise ways to bolster the entire family unit. They can improve their own mental wellbeing, open up new lines of communication, and understand and avoid enabling behaviours. They can even become part of your relapse prevention plan and help halt the spread of substance abuse in your family.
Addiction can impact your family and friends. In many cases, dysfunctional relationships can contribute to and perpetuate addiction. It is unsurprising that addiction is often referred to as a family disease. Family Therapy considers a person’s drug problems in light of their family interactions. It explores dynamics that may affect behaviours and contribute to drug or alcohol abuse.
Choose the Right Rehab
People who successfully complete alcohol or drug addiction treatment programmes lead better, more productive lives. They experience social and personal improvements and are less likely to engage in criminal activity. But the key word here is successful. Ineffective programmes will not help you, so it’s important to choose an effective alcohol and drug rehab centre you can trust.

Fueling Recovery: The Impact of Nutrition on Drug Rehabilitation Outcomes
Introduction
The journey to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction is challenging and requires a holistic approach. One often-overlooked aspect is nutrition, which plays a crucial role in healing the body and mind. Addiction can severely impair nutritional health, leading to deficiencies and weakened overall wellbeing. Integrating nutritional support into rehabilitation programs can significantly enhance recovery outcomes.
Understanding Nutrition During Addiction Recovery
Addiction often leads individuals to neglect their nutritional needs, resulting in malnutrition and weakened immune function. Substance abuse depletes essential nutrients, exacerbating deficiencies. Addressing these needs is vital to promote healing and restore health during recovery.
Dietary Techniques for Healing
Balanced Diet: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins provides essential nutrients for recovery. These foods supply the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants needed for healing and restoration.
Hydration: Adequate water intake is crucial for health and wellbeing, especially during early addiction treatment. Proper hydration supports organ function, toxin removal, and overall recovery. It is recommended to drink eight glasses of water daily and limit sugary and caffeinated beverages.
Protein-Rich Foods: Protein is vital for repairing tissue damage and promoting muscle recovery. Including protein-rich foods like poultry, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts helps rebuild muscle mass, improve energy levels, and support physical health.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines), are essential for brain health and cognitive function. They have anti-inflammatory properties and can help stabilize mood during recovery.
Limit Sugar and Processed Foods: Excessive sugar and processed foods can increase cravings and cause mood swings. Limiting these foods in favor of nutrient-dense options helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of relapse.
Vitamin and Mineral Supplementation: Supplements may be necessary to address nutritional deficiencies. Consulting a healthcare professional can help create a tailored supplementation plan to meet individual needs.
Mindful Eating Practices: Mindful eating involves paying attention to hunger cues and savoring each bite. This practice can improve digestion, nutrient absorption, and foster a healthier relationship with food.
Nutrition's Effect on Healing
Proper nutrition supports both physical and mental wellbeing during recovery. Benefits include:
Enhanced Energy: A balanced diet provides essential nutrients and energy, boosting endurance and overall vitality.
Mood Stability: Nutrient-rich foods support brain health and neurotransmitter function, helping regulate mood and reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Reduced Relapse Risk: A well-balanced diet stabilizes blood sugar levels and reduces cravings, lowering the risk of relapse and promoting long-term sobriety.
Faster Recovery: Adequate nutrients help rebuild tissue, strengthen the immune system, and accelerate the healing process.
Improved Cognitive Function: Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids enhance mental clarity, focus, and cognitive function, supporting overall brain health.
Including Nutritional Support in Addiction Treatment
Incorporating nutritional support in addiction treatment programs can enhance recovery outcomes. Recommendations include:
Balanced Diet: Ensure a varied diet with carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Emphasize whole foods for essential nutrients.
Hydration: Encourage adequate water intake to prevent dehydration and alleviate withdrawal symptoms. Replace sugary and caffeinated drinks with water.
Nutritional Education: Educate individuals on the link between diet and addiction recovery. Provide workshops, resources, and materials for informed dietary choices.
Nutrient Supplements: Consider supplements like multivitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics to address deficiencies and promote health. Consult healthcare professionals for appropriate supplements.
Conclusion
Nutrition is a critical component of drug rehabilitation, supporting physical health, mood stability, and overall wellbeing. By integrating dietary guidance, supplements, and education into treatment programs, rehabilitation clinics can significantly improve recovery outcomes and promote long-term sobriety.
Call to Action
Rehabilitation programs should prioritize nutritional support to foster holistic recovery. By doing so, they can empower individuals to lead healthier, substance-free lives.

Neurological Symptoms: Loss of Sensation and Motor Control
Tumblr media
Neurological symptoms characterized by loss of sensation and motor control can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. These symptoms often arise from conditions like spine injuries, which require specialized treatment and care from experts like Dr. Himanshu Gupta, a renowned spine surgeon in Jaipur.
Causes of Neurological Symptoms
Loss of sensation and motor control can be attributed to various underlying causes, including:
Spine Injuries: Traumatic events like accidents or falls can damage the spinal cord, leading to neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or paralysis.
Degenerative Conditions: Conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease can compress nerves in the spinal cord, resulting in sensory and motor deficits.
Tumors: Spinal tumors, whether benign or malignant, can exert pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, causing loss of sensation and impaired movement.
Infections: Certain infections affecting the spinal cord, such as meningitis or abscesses, can disrupt nerve function, leading to sensory and motor abnormalities.
Treatment Options for Spine Injuries
When addressing neurological symptoms due to spine injuries, specialized treatment is crucial. Dr. Himanshu Gupta offers comprehensive spine injury treatment in Jaipur, tailored to each patient's needs:
Surgical Interventions: For severe spinal cord injuries, surgical procedures like decompression, spinal fusion, or disc replacement may be necessary to relieve pressure on nerves and restore function.
Physical Therapy: Rehabilitation programs focused on strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, and retraining motor skills play a vital role in recovery from spine injuries.
Medication Management: Prescription medications, including pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs, can help manage symptoms associated with spine injuries.
Lifestyle Modifications: Dr. Himanshu Gupta emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, practicing proper posture, and avoiding activities that strain the spine to prevent further damage.
Preventive Measures for Neurological Symptoms
While not all spine injuries are preventable, adopting certain preventive measures can reduce the risk of experiencing neurological symptoms:
Practice Safety: Use proper safety equipment during sports and recreational activities to minimize the risk of spinal injuries.
Maintain Good Posture: Avoid prolonged sitting or standing in poor posture to reduce strain on the spine.
Exercise Regularly: Engage in activities that strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility to support spinal health.
Avoid Tobacco and Excessive Alcohol: Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption can impair blood flow to the spine, increasing the risk of degenerative conditions.
Conclusion
Neurological symptoms like loss of sensation and motor control associated with spine injuries require prompt evaluation and treatment by a skilled spine surgeon in jaipur like Dr. Himanshu Gupta. With personalized care and advanced treatment options, individuals experiencing these symptoms can achieve improved outcomes and regain function. By understanding the causes, treatment options, and preventive measures, patients can take proactive steps to maintain spinal health and overall well-being. If you or someone you know is facing neurological symptoms due to a spine injury, seeking expert care is essential for optimal recovery and long-term management.

Alcohol Detoxification Treatment Kolkata
Alcohol detoxification, commonly known as detox, is the process of eliminating alcohol from the body. It is the first step in the treatment of alcohol use disorder and is often a necessary phase for individuals with a physical dependence on alcohol. Detoxification can be challenging and should be conducted under medical supervision to manage potential complications and withdrawal symptoms.
Here are key points related to alcohol detoxification treatment kolkata:
Medical Supervision:
Alcohol detox should be conducted under the supervision of medical professionals, preferably in a specialized detoxification facility or a hospital.
Medical supervision is crucial for managing withdrawal symptoms, which can range from mild to severe.
Assessment:
Before detox begins, a thorough medical and psychological assessment is conducted to determine the individual's overall health, the severity of alcohol dependence, and the potential risks during detox.
Withdrawal Symptoms:
Withdrawal symptoms from alcohol can include anxiety, tremors, nausea, vomiting, sweating, hallucinations, and seizures.
In severe cases, a condition known as delirium tremens (DTs) can occur, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT):
Medications may be used during detox to manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
Commonly used medications include benzodiazepines, antipsychotics, and anti-seizure medications.
Hydration and Nutrition:
Maintaining proper hydration and nutrition is important during detox. Individuals with alcohol use disorder may be malnourished, and replenishing essential nutrients is part of the treatment.
Psychological Support:
Emotional and psychological support is crucial during detox. Many individuals experience anxiety and depression during this process.
Counseling and therapy may be integrated to address the psychological aspects of alcohol dependence.
Duration of Detox:
The duration of detox varies depending on factors such as the individual's overall health, the severity of dependence, and the presence of co-occurring mental health conditions.
Detox is typically a short-term process, and individuals may transition to ongoing treatment, such as residential rehabilitation or outpatient programs, after detox is completed.
Transition to Treatment:
Detox alone is not sufficient for long-term recovery. After detoxification, individuals are encouraged to engage in further treatment, such as counseling, therapy, and support groups, to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of alcohol use disorder.
Post-Detox Support:
Ongoing support is essential for maintaining recovery. This may include participation in support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), counseling, and relapse prevention strategies.
It's crucial to note that alcohol detox can be dangerous and attempting to detox without medical supervision can lead to serious health risks. If you or someone you know is seeking help for alcohol dependence, it's important to consult with healthcare professionals or addiction specialists to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

"The Dangers of Prazosin Abuse: Recognizing and Treating the Signs"
Prazosin is an anti-hypertensive drug that’s intended to treat high blood pressure. However, it’s increasingly being abused for its effect of producing a calming sedative effect. Due to its potential for abuse, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) labeled it as a Schedule IV drug. This means that it has a low potential for abuse, but still comes with certain risks. The danger of this drug is that even small doses can cause confusion and impair motor functions. Unfortunately, the drug is becoming more and more popular among the populations that are already prone to substance abuse. It’s often mixed with alcohol, other drugs, or even herbal supplements to produce a desired effect. This is why addiction professionals need to pay close attention to its use and monitor their clients regularly. It’s critical to develop proactive strategies to help combat the issue of prazosin abuse. Doing so will help reduce the chances of addiction or other potential harms. One way to do this is to become familiar with the drug and its potential to cause dependency and other serious side effects. With this in mind, anyone using the drug should work closely with their doctors to set parameters for its use. They should also ensure that they’re taking it according to the prescribed dosage and duration of use. These are all important steps that must be taken to effectively address the rising abuse of prazosin. Along with that, individuals may also want to consider taking part in education courses to understand more about the impacts of this drug. Ultimately, to reduce the risk of addiction, these steps should be combined with counseling from drug rehabilitation centers and addiction treatment centers. It’s likely not going to be easy to stop the rising abuse of prazosin. Multiple approaches may be needed to tackle this growing issue. In the meantime, that’s why it’s important to get the necessary help as soon as possible to prevent the drug from leading to greater forms of addiction.

An Overview Of Alcohol Drug Addiction And Treatment Centre
Tumblr media
Nasha Mukti Kendra in South Delhi are widely spreading across the world though by different frequency and numbers of rehab centres varies with the different geological locations. There is no standard program for all patients to treat their addiction but they mostly go for it because they are obviously helpful by providing them with other means than drugs and thus reduce their addiction level.
The treatment centres provide different standards for different patients because the need of all individuals is different so they can only be treated in different ways. In Oklahoma, alcohol addiction and illegal drug trading are some of the most concerned issues which further give rise to alcohol addiction treatment centres in Oklahoma. Various rules and regulations are created to prevent these kinds of problems rather than providing rehab facilities for addicted and affected people. With the help of these rules and analysis of records of patients in rehab centres in Oklahoma, it has been concluded that it has reduced the problems and issues which were being faced by them by significant amounts. But still, there are many people in the city who are addicted to drinking, for them various rehab and Rehabilitation Centre in South Delhi have been established in that city. Emergency services are also provided by these centres.
But still, only 27 per cent of all residents are provided with the services and only 13 per cent are given requirements so there is still a need for more addiction control centres in cities like India. These facilities are also financed by various private and public figures which provide huge help in maintaining the quality of service to required people. Many addiction treatment centres are also available in Indian City because the number of people in need of treatment is huge there also. Alcohol addiction is not a problem in these cities but all over the world which gives rise to the need for the presence of addiction treatment centres all over the world so that people who are in need of help, get the required service. Since Oklahoma includes various interstate highways, it is said to be the hub of druggists and alcohol where all gets every kind of drug they are interested in, so to remove all these anti-social things from our society, we must cooperate with police and government and thus reduce the number of addicted people.
There are Indian rehab centres also available for those who want their addiction to be cured like Rehabilitation Centre in Lajpat Nagar Certain specification which is only followed there but not in any other common rehab centre like reading the scriptures of god to patients, letting them believe in god and letting everything go in order to live a normal, happy life in which they are no more addicted to anything but God. Only these centres follow a spiritual path whereas others follow some standards which are different for every patient. Surviving in the Christian rehab centre is very difficult if the person is an atheist, he needs more time than others to adjust.
