Some of these visits are in regards to extended pain management with opiate drugs. Hydrocodone is one of the most common medications prescribed for pain control after the use of non-opioid medication treatment failed (CDC, 2014).

Loperamide, the active ingredient in Imodium, is an over-the-counter medication marketed and widely used as an anti-diarrheal. It also happens to be an opiate — though, theoretically, it can’t make you high. However that hasn’t stopped people from trying. Suggestions have been disseminated among internet discussion groups for how to “mega-dose” loperamide — take it in extremely high quantities — to achieve a high of sorts. And it works. Some try to use loperamide like this recreationally (sometimes

more people are getting into the “trend” that is recreationally using Prescription Drugs, and not just any type of prescription drug. Teens are recreationally using opiates such as Oxycontin, Adderall, Vicodin, Morphine Etc. And the numbers continue to grow at an alarming rate. It is now safe to say that Prescription drugs(mostly Opiates) are becoming an even bigger issue than some illegal drugs such as Cocaine, Methamphetamine and many more.

In today’s world with the rapid growth in population the societies are facing some of the major issues like obesity, health problems, early deaths and abnormal psychological and physical behavior.

profound ethical implications in sport where certain drugs, like morphine are banned during competition but not during training. The results of the experiment support the theory that “placebos reduce pain by encouraging the brain to produce more natural opiates than usual” (How to Cheat Without Cheating, 2007).

Most people, including myself, who are Rock and Roll enthusiasts have heard of the English punk rock band, known as The Clash. If we were to tune in to almost any classic rock radio station, there is a very high chance we will hear some of The Clash’s greatest hits, such as “Rock the Casbah” or “London Calling”. A song not many Rock and Roll fans are familiar with, however, is The Clash’s “Ghetto Defendant”. “Ghetto Defendant” is a rather unorthodox song, not only due to the background music being

The patient also repeatedly engages with their fear triggers.177 Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the standard detox definition is "1. detoxification from an intoxicating or addictive substance, a detox clinic / 2. a detox program or facility spent one week in detox."

Detox is, in fact, a very complex process that is often necessary to start addiction sufferers on the road to recovery from the insidious disease of drug/alcohol addiction. Many men, women

neurotransmitter that has an effect on movement by being released to muscle cell receptors that cause muscles to contract. Researchers have found that the brain produces its own opiates and therefore certain drugs can trigger them. The problem with this is that the brain begins to rely on those drugs and stops producing their own natural opiates. This can cause struggle and lead to addiction. Certain drugs alter neurotransmitters by either mimicking or blocking them. Agonist molecules can bind to a similar neurotransmitter
