Gambling Addiction Treatment in Israel.

In the past the gambling addiction phenomenon was considered exotic by psychiatrists.  At this point it all has changed, first and foremost, for the reason of widely spread gambling machines and casinos. Addiction to gambling has become a significant problem, which causes suffering not only to the addict, but to his family, loved ones, in the end of the day – to the society itself as well.

 

Life of a compulsive gambler is a constant search of new money sources in order to satisfy the abnormal gambling cravings. All the other interests are put aside. Social connections are broken, families are ruined, crimes are committed… Fortunately, today there are ways and methods to treat gambling addiction (or as referred to by experts, ludomania). These methods are successfully applied at “Phoenix” rehabilitation center.

 

From Gambling Enthusiasm to Addiction.

The prospective gambling addict is motivated to gamble by monotony of the real life, by certain mental disturbance, sometimes even by sexual problems. Games make an addict a hero, a front-runner, which allows him to compensate for the failures of the real life.

During the next stage of addiction conscience conflicts subconscious.  The almost fully evolved gambling addict is still asking himself: “Should I play or not?”  At the same time it is extremely difficult for him to resist his craving for a gambling parlor.

During the final stage the addict totally loses the ability to control himself. The craving for gambling is insurmountable. None of the sensible reasons not to gamble stop the addict – not the lack of money, not the job troubles caused by addiction, not even family issues.

Once ludomania is evolved, the addict cannot fight it without professional help. Experts at “Phoenix” rehabilitation center are able to provide this help.

 

Behavioristic Characteristics of a Gambling Addict.

A gambling addict tends to depreciate his family and loved ones. He is often anxious, experiences lack of appetite and sleeping problems.

An addiction to gambling is usually concealed from family members, colleagues, and friends.  An addict is not concerned about career development, personal relationships, or raising children.

Have you noticed your loved one showing the above listed signs of behavior? Perhaps, it is high time you rang the alarm! Call ‘Phoenix’ rehabilitation center to get professional help.

 

Ludomania recovery is possible!

Our experts apply the most up-to-date treatment methods that have proved to be effective. During the treatment we successfully change addicts’ way of thinking. Pathologic processes on the mentality and physiological levels are stopped, and the abnormal crave for gambling is gone.

 

‘Phoenix’ rehabilitation center’ patients are supported by center’s specialists during the whole course of treatment, which is very important for success in fighting the addiction.  After undergoing a course of treatment at our clinic, the former gambling addicts are healthy and recovered, they come back to real life and no longer experience gambling addiction related problems.

What is a Drug Screening? https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/what-is-a-drug-screening/ https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/what-is-a-drug-screening/#respond Wed, 03 May 2023 11:04:21 +0000 https://phoenix-rehab.com/?p=2213 Drug screening is common in a number of settings. It’s not unusual for employers to require some type of drug testing or screening when evaluating individuals for potential employment. Depending on the nature of the work associated with a position, some employers may conduct screening on a recurring basis.

Whether in the workplace or other settings, screenings can seem intimidating to many people. The urban myths about testing and screening are often the reasons for the intimidating. By understanding more about the process and what it’s intended to accomplish, many of those fears will go away.

What is the Purpose of Drug Screening or Testing?

The typical purpose for drug screening or testing of any kind is to detect the presence of certain substances in a person’s body. This is often the case when the individual is about to engage in activities that require significant amounts of concentration and a high level of physical dexterity.

There are excellent reasons why employers and others would require this type of testing. One has to do with safety. Employers do not want to place employees or those they work around in situations where substance use could increase the potential for injury. At the same time, employers would be taking on a greater degree of liability by hiring someone who uses certain types of substances on an ongoing basis.  

How is Drug Testing Conducted?

There are a number of different ways of going about conducting a drug test or screening. All of them involve collecting biological samples and using them to check for the presence of different types of substances. Depending on who has ordered the testing, the process may involve using more than one kind of biological sample.

One of the more common approaches is to conduct a urine drug test. This is often part of a screening since the results are available in a relatively short period of time. At the same time the urine sample is provided, a blood sample may also be collected. The blood can also be analyzed quickly and provide prompt results.

There are other types of drug and alcohol tests that may be employed. That includes collecting a saliva sample. Paired with collecting a couple of hair follicles, these samples may be used to detect ongoing substance use as well as recent usage.

Decide that you will cooperate with the testing without any conditions. Rather than an invasion of privacy, see the test as a way to indicate that you are also interested in working or participating in a safe environment.

What Are Some Reasons For Arranging a Drug Screening?

Along with the pre-employment testing that most people are familiar with, there are a few other situations that may call for conducting some type of drug screen or test. Employers may conduct random testing of current employees, even long-term ones. Being selected for a test does not necessarily mean the employer believes the employee is using illegal substances or abusing legal ones. It may be a routine part of considering an employee for a promotion, or it could be something that the employer has in place as a deterrent to substance abuse in general.

Candidates for scholarships, especially sports scholarships, may be required to undergo some type of drug screening or testing. The goal is to make sure the candidate is not utilizing any type of performance enhancing substances in order to improve performance. The testing may occur throughout the student’s college career.

In like manner, professional sports organizations may conduct drug screenings before extending offers to athletes. There may also be random testing conducted as long as the athlete remains in the employ of the sports club or team.

Post-accident testing is not usual. The goal is to ensure that no substance impaired the judgment or the reflexes of those involved in the event.

With each scenario, those who are expected to submit to the screening are provided with a set of drug testing FAQs. This helps them to know more about the type of samples that will be collected, if the testing is using a five-panel model to look for signs of illegal substances, or if a ten-panel approach that also detects prescription medications will be used.

View the testing as one of the ways to keep you safe. By ensuring that others around you are also being tested and found to be free of any type of substance abuse, there is less potential of injury in the workplace or on the playing field.

What is a False Positive?

Many people fear undergoing any type of workplace drug testing or other screenings and becoming victims of false positive. This type of event occurs when something the person eats or drinks leads to what appears to be a confirmation that the individual has taken a particular substance.

Substances that may lead to a false positive are more common than most people think. A classic example is poppy seeds appearing to be signs of marijuana usage. Supplements like B-Complex may also cause this type of result. Many prescription medications may trigger a false positive indicating the use of an illegal substance. For example, the type 2 diabetes medication metformin may cause a false positive.

Preparing For a Drug Screening

If you’re about to undergo a pre-employment drug testing, make sure to prepare a list of every vitamin, herbal supplement, over the counter medication, and prescription medication that you currently take. Include the daily dosage for each one. If you take any of those substances on an as-needed basis rather than a daily dose, include them in the list. Doing so provides the lab conducting the test with a frame of reference for any of the results.

In terms of food items, make sure you are familiar with foods that may cause a false positive. In addition to poppy seeds used in baked goods and dressings, cocoa tea and tonic water could trigger this type of result. The same is true for breads made with certain types of yeast.

Do some research before your test and find out what you eat, drink, and take regularly could lead to a false positive. That will help you be prepared to explain any irregularities in your tests.

A drug screening is typically quick, does not involve pain, and serves as one more indication that you’re in the running for the job, the scholarship, or that no legal or illegal substances contributed to the accident. Have the testing completed as quickly as possible. Doing so helps to move you a little closer to achieving the goal that you seek.

Attention – Tropicamide is a drug! https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/attention-tropicamide-is-a-drug/ https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/attention-tropicamide-is-a-drug/#respond Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:21:03 +0000 https://phoenix-rehab.com/?p=2249

It’s no secret that today you can easily buy some medical drugs that are used for treatment from the pharmacy.
After a wave of interest in a certain drug, they become blacklisted, get off the counter, and sold only with a prescription.
Over time, new drugs arrive and the situation repeats itself over and over again.

Attention – Tropicamide!

TROPICAMIDE DRUG

Tropicamide is a harmless medicine that is used in the diagnosis of eye diseases.
It is Harmless only so long as the patient stops using it to expand the pupil (so that no one sees the use of the narrowed pupil) and becomes dangerous when the patient starts injecting tropicamide intravenously.

CONSEQUENCES OF TROPICAMIDE INJECTION

Dependence on tropicamide develops after several injections, each dose of tropicamide might be the last.
First of all, the addict begins to be afraid of daylight, which causes pain, he experiences immediate vision loss, blood vessels suffer greatly, blood clots appear on the site of the vascular lesion and due to a lack of blood circulation in the tissues, rotting processes begin.
Nevertheless, there are methods for purifying and restoring the body after using the tropicamide drug.

Contact the Phoenix Rehabilitation Center and we will help to get rid of the TROPICAMIDE addiction!

LSD – how to fight your LSD addiction? https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/lsd-how-to-fight-your-lsd-addiction/ https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/lsd-how-to-fight-your-lsd-addiction/#respond Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:21:03 +0000 https://phoenix-rehab.com/?p=2253 ATTENTION! LSD

But there are types of drugs which their effect at the first stage is not noticeable, and can’t be recognized for a long time. At first, your child uses it when he goes to a friend or to a nightclub, party, etc. and by the time they return, the effect of many drugs isn’t noticeable.

If you notice a tiny, but a repetitive change in their mood of behavior, the reaction, etc. DO NOT WAIT AND DO NOT LOSE TIME, let us know that you want help and seek advice from our Phoenix Rehabilitation Center!

What is LSD?

LSD is a powerful hallucinogen, causing a person to see a different reality. Sometimes taking LSD gives a feeling of flight and relaxation, visiting other worlds, traveling in time and space. Or, on the contrary, a stupefied fantasy is a terrible picture that causes a person to panic in fear, which pushes him to unpredictable and inadequate behavior.

The mind of a human who uses LSD suffers changes that most often manifest themselves in the splitting of personality, or loss of consciousness. When a person cannot distinguish reality from hallucinations he can harm himself and others, and even take an attempt at suicide.

A similar effect is caused by many varieties of psychedelic mushrooms, which also contain hallucinogenic substances capable of altering the human psyche for a long time.

It is a dependency that can be overcome and stopped!

HOW TO REDUCE THE DEPENDENCE OF LSD?

Contact the Phoenix Rehabilitation Center and our specialists will give you help and information on getting rid of the addiction to LSD!

Spice – how to fight spice addiction? https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/spice-how-to-fight-spice-addiction/ https://phoenix-rehab.com/en/spice-how-to-fight-spice-addiction/#respond Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:18:14 +0000 https://phoenix-rehab.com/?p=2259

The consequences of spice smoking.

Spice (as condiment, seasoning) – is a type of smoking blend, containing synthetic substances, entheogens (plants containing psychotropic agents) as well as regular plants.

In addition, spices contain a special substance JWH-018 (or synthetic cannabis). It has been proven that synthetic cannabis is 5 to 6 times more dangerous and damaging than natural one.

What are the consequences of smoking spices?

First of all, the use of smoking mixtures affects the human psyche and has the same effect as using strong narcotic substances.

The medical consequences of using SPICES include:

– Severe disorders such as depression, and suicidal attempts.

– Development of mental and physical dependencies, similar to other types of drugs: heroin, amphetamines, marijuana, etc.

– The defeat of crucial parts of the nerve system: memory loss, impaired intellectual abilities, and speech disturbance. Coordination and sleep patterns are also affected, and a loss of emotional control appears in sudden mood swings.

– decreased immunity, impotence (for boys) and hormonal disorders (for girls).

-the risk of developing diabetes, lung cancer, etc.

– the defeat of the cardiovascular system, which can result in poisoning from an overdose, or even death.

The socio-psychological consequences of the use of smoking mixtures (spice) include:

– the destruction of social ties such as the inability to communicate with friends and relatives.

– Inability to perform certain types of professional activity such as working, studying or even driving properly.

– communication with criminal circles, theft, a risk of involvement in drug trafficking and other similar crimes.

– the destruction of one’s personality: an attitude of indifference to themselves, their future and close people, weakening of the will, the loss of the meaning of life and constant feelings of emptiness and loneliness.

The Phoenix Rehabilitation Center in Israel will help you get rid of spices addiction!
