Michael Jackson’s Death Calling Attention to Prescription Drug Abuse

Close friend to Jackson, Deepak Chopra, reported that Jackson had asked him for prescriptions to pain killers in the past. Chopra said that he then realized that Michael must have been asking many people for prescriptions to the powerful drugs.
In an article in the Huffington Press, Chopra in part blames Jackson’s dependence on these drugs on medical colleagues who failed to realize Jackson’s growing addiction could lead to his death.
Jackson is known to have taken prescriptions ranging from Xanax to Demerol.
Oxycodone and hydrocodone are both synthetic opiate pain relievers similar to Demerol which Jackson is reported to have been injected with shortly before his cardiac arrest.
It is unfortunate that prescription drug abuse becomes alive as a topic for media discussion after a celebrity death. Anna Nicole’s and Heath Ledger’s deaths took center stage earlier, but the problem with prescription medication abuse continued to increase and emergency rooms are still seeing too many accidental overdoses.
In a recent press conference Joseph A. Califano Jr., the National Center on Drug Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University’s director and president said:
“Aggressive marketing of controlled drugs to physicians . . . is designed to increase profits with little regard for abuse potential, Our nation is in the throes of an epidemic of controlled prescription drug abuse and addiction.”

The ease by which many Americans can get a prescription for powerful pain medications and psychiatric drugs is alarming.
More than 15 million Americans abuse controlled substances—double the amount from a decade ago, according to a report issued by CASA. This represents a clear problem for America because there is virtually no increase in drug treatment available and no controls on marketing.
Narconon of Georgia provides drug treatment and education for the entire southeast region. Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia is a non-traditional drug abuse treatment program.

NARCONON REFLECTION

Here is a Narconon reflection – written by someone who was abusing alcohol – but written for anyone who is abusing any drug.  Whether it is oycontin, adderal, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine or any drug of abuse, the Narconon program is here to help you.

“Today in class I learned that pinpointing my problem and releasing my energy on it – I can let the thought pass.  I think a problem is a kind of blemish to my well being and healthy life style – a blemish that can vanish with the right medicine.  The medicine is how I handle situations – and I can handle them the right way from now on from what I have learned.

The medicine is also in my action and thoughts.  I will use my mind and strength to touch and get what I want.  It is my choice, now that I know right from wrong.

I am a stronger individual today.

This can also apply to unhealthy relationships, friendships and disagreements.

I believe that sometimes it is just better to let things go and avoid trouble in my life.”

Simple realizations like this can take the course of someone’s life and move it in a different direction.

Narconon is the New Life Drug Treatment Program

877-413-3073

A new Community Services Brochure sponsored by Narconon International, located in Hollywood, California, features the efforts made by Narconon of Georgia staff in helping an orphanage that deals in drug-addicted orphans.

“Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia staff have a special place in their heart for children,” commented Mary Rieser, Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab of Georgia. “It is one thing to admit a full grown adult  into drug rehab, but to see a young child passed out in the streets because they are drunk or high is very sad. These children have no hope unless we do something about it.”

The latest information, which is not verified, and is probably impossible to verify, is that there are tens of millions of homeless children wandering the streets of cities across the world. These children, whether in Latin America, Pakistan, or Indonesia, have no food, no shelter, no family. Abandoned by their parents, they wander the streets, begging, stealing, becoming victims of abuse.

One way to stave off hunger pains, and help them forget where they are, is to take drugs. While many children, who can be as young as 5 years old, may drink alcohol, smoke weed, or do other hard drugs, the majority prefer to “fly,” huffing glue. Yes, glue.  Glue made to repair shoes is the drug of choice for these homeless children. For a few pennies, which they can always beg, or steal (borrowing is not in their vocabulary), the pain brought on by hunger, heat, cold, or the simple fact that they were abandoned, can be alleviated by huffing. Give them an empty soda bottle, or a plastic bag, a few pennies worth of shoe glue, called “Resistol” (trademark) in Latin America, and they can forget. Be happy. Sleep.

However, all is not lost. An orphanage in Honduras has been getting kids off the streets and into a safe environment through dedication of their staff and with the help of Narconon Drug Rehab and other Atlanta charity groups.  Narconon of Georgia  helped a Honduran medical doctor establish the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program in this orphanage to aid in the growing epidemic of addicted street orphans in their country. The sauna program had astounding results with the children and has been praised by Dr. Vega, the Medical Director of the orphanage, as being beneficial to the children in their drug rehab efforts.

"The children arrive here and behave like little animals," stated a counselor at the orphanage. "They have no moral code, won’t listen to anyone, run wild. However, the Narconon Sauna Program removes the toxins from their bodies and they become happier, more social, like little children again. They become social people."

Narconon of Georgia is a non-traditional drug abuse treatment program which was founded in 1967 whose mission also includes drug education and working with children.  The Narconon  program provides body detoxification through a sauna and exercise program that helps eliminate or reduce cravings.  Then the client learns those life skills essential to success in life and the ability to stay clean.

NARCONON REFLECTION

Here is another Narconon reflection written by a Narconon drug treatment student. This student hopes that others will read it and realize that there is hope available for them – whether they are abusing cocaine, methamphetamine, pot or Xanax – there is hope.

“This morning, while exercising I was experiencing some discomfort then I realized I was not exercising in present time. I then began to apply a simple mental exercise I had learned at Narconon.

While doing this exercise, the discomfort left and I ran 2 miles.”

Narconon is full of surprises, including small miracles.

NARCONON SUCCESS STORY

Here is a Narconon success story from someone who just graduated from the Narconon drug treatment program. It was written by a client who had been abusing alcohol, crack and heroin.

“When I first arrived here at Narconon, my mind had a very foggy cloud covering my perception of the world outside. I was definitely dazed and confused up arriving. My first few days back in the withdrawal section of the building was filled with a very pleasant atmosphere and home-like feel to the environment around me. I knew in my mind that I was begin saved yet again, and this was the start of my new path in life because I damn sure needed a new road to travel down.

Taking vitamins and consuming calcium and magnesium started to bring back my energy level slowly.

Each part of the program brought me closer and closer to freedom.

I have been taking good care of myself, being temperate, honoring my parents and trying to treat others well, just as it says in the Way To Happiness booklet.

I have been applying everything that I have learned on the program and I know that I am going to have a good life.

Special thanks to everyone who helped me.

MAN’S OLDEST DRUG

Through the ages, alcohol has been one of the pleasures of life. Since the Stone Ages, alcohol has played a role in human culture and has been used for medicinal, religious and social purposes.

The Greeks promoted moderation in drinking and temperance was praised by Plato. As the Roman Empire started to decay the abuse of alcohol became more rampant. Throughout much of history the use or misuse of alcohol is a reflection of the society.

And so it goes – Social pressures and society disorder find us in a world that promotes drinking. The number of alcohol abusers of all ages is increasing.

Young people raid their parents liquor cabinets, Workers meet at the bar after high pressure jobs and older people seek alcohol as a relief for loneliness.

No matter the age or social condition overdrinking contributes to cirrhosis, pancreatitis, brain damage and destruction of the nervous system. In the present time, the majority of traffic deaths are caused by driving under the influence.

Other Alcohol Facts

Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in the U.S. According to the 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health 119 million Americans (20.1% of the population) use alcohol.

Every 30 minutes someone is killed in an alcohol related traffic accident in the U.S.

Drunk driving is proving to be even deadlier than what we previously knew. The latest death statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), using a new method of calculation show that 17,488 people were killed in alcohol related traffic accidents last year. This means that nearly 800 more people were killed by alcohol abuse than the previous year.

Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the result of chronic alcohol use during pregnancy. It is a serious health problem that tragically affects its victims and their families. Babies born with FAS weigh less and are shorter than normal. They tend to have smaller heads, deformed facial features, abnormal joints and limbs, poor coordination, learning problems, and short memories.

Fact: 750 infants are born with a severe pattern of physical, developmental and functional problems due to FAS each year in the U.S. Another 40,000 children are born with fetal alcohol effects (FAE) in the U.S

_________________________________

Every year it seems that there are more and more studies or articles on the hazards of alcohol abuse. The point has been made, with the real question remaining, “What can we do about the situation?”

For the society, the answer lies in drug and alcohol education at school and more controls over alcohol advertising at sports events.

For the individuals who have a loved one addicted to alcohol, the answer is Narconon New Life Program. There is no better answer.

There is hopeful news for those offenders who are addicts and would like the chance to get their life together before it is marred by prison.

According to a CNN report, the White House is pushing for more drug courts and wants to fund them from the March spending bill.

In meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, Obama pledged to address drug trafficking across the border with demand reduction. In order to facilitate this, the proposed solution involves treatment as an alternative to the prison system.

While there is not a specific bill yet, the climate is changing and most likely many judges will be more amenable to treatment as an alternative to incarceration.

Narconon of Georgia was originally founded as an alternative to incarceration and we have learned through the years that many Judges already prefer the opportunity to send a willing participate to treatment rather than to prison. They are especially pleased when they learn that the former addict has been transformed into a productive and happy citizen.

It is important that that where there is the opportunity for an offender to receive treatment rather than incarceration that the treatment is EFFECTIVE and that the client is actively participating. Right now, as the debate unfolds, is the time to inform the world that this is a viable solution. We do not want to provide any naysayers with the ammunition of failed treatment.

Narconon has a 76% success rate and you can count on us to back you up in your endeavor to help your clients.

Narconon

When people wonder which illegal drug their teen may be exposed to the most, many think of cocaine or hallucinogens.

However, a study shows that 56% of youths who first started using drugs in the past year began with marijuana.

"Marijuana has the reputation of being non-toxic and ‘safe’ to use," comments Mary Rieser, Executive Director of Narconon Drug Rehab Georgia. "Despite the facts that students are given education on the dangers of tobacco smoking, marijuana apparently doesn’t come under the same scrutiny, and when teens use an illegal drug for the first time, it will start with marijuana. This often leads to ther drugs; those who start using marijuana are 9 times more likely to use cocaine than those who don’t. Marijuana often leads to drug addiction."

An estimated 1.5 million youths ages 12 to 17—an average of more than 4,000 per day—used a drug other than alcohol for the first time in the past year, according to data from the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

The majority of youths reported that marijuana was the first drug they tried (56%), followed by prescription-type drugs used nonmedically (24%), and inhalants (17%).

Very few youths reported that their first use of drugs involved hallucinogens or cocaine (see figure below). The relative distribution of first-drug used has remained consistent over the past five years.

"Prescription-type drugs includes stimulants, sedatives, tranquilizers, and pain relievers," comments Ms. Rieser. "Non-medical use is defined as use without a prescription belonging to the respondent or use that occurred simply for the experience or feeling the drug caused."
