When the worldwide #coronavirus #pandemic began and states started enforcing quarantine, it seemed like it might be over within a month or two. Now, six months later, the end is still shrouded in uncertainty. For anyone in #recovery, this extended situation proves to be a major problem. Resisting the urge to #relapse is always a struggle, but now more than ever.

#Oxycodone and #Xanax, when used together, are extremely dangerous. Together, these two #drugs can lead to a fatal #overdose, as they both slow and even stop breathing. Getting #treatment for an #addiction to these drugs is essential and literally lifesaving.

Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for people ages 10-34 and the 4th leading cause of death for people 35-54 #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth #mentalhealthawareness2020 #mentalhealth #notalone

#Meth-induced #psychosis is a serious and unfortunate result of continued methamphetamine abuse. Treatment for #methamphetamine addiction and meth-induced psychosis can stop the progression of this condition. However, the chances of #recovery are much better if #treatment is provided in the early stages of the disorder.

Helping a loved one recognize they have a problem with #drinking, and then helping them moderate or stop drinking, is challenging. Start by learning more about #alcoholusedisorder so you know what kinds of behaviors are considered problematic.

There are many things that loved ones can do to support someone in #rehab. From learning more about #addiction and #substanceabuse to attending family days and #therapy sessions, providing active support will help your loved one have a more successful recovery.

The #COVID1919 pandemic has caused problems for everyone. People struggling with #alcoholaddiction have faced additional challenges. The urge to relapse during a stressful time like this can be overpowering, while access to treatment and support may be limited. There are healthy ways to cope right now and virtual options for #treatment and support group meetings.

#altamirarecovery is celebrating 10 years of providing exceptional treatment for men and women suffering from #alcoholism and #drugaddiction. Thank you to the many people who have helped us touch so many liveswe are so grateful to our referring partners, our caring staff, and the clients and families we have had the privilege to serve. We’d love to hear any fond memories you may have or ways Alta Mira has touched your life. #AltaMira10Years

#Alcoholusedisorder can trigger #depression not only during use but also while an individual is in #treatment and #recovery. Individuals may use #alcohol to self-medicate their symptoms, which can be even more prevalent in times of social and economic distress, such as the impact of #covid19. Residential treatment is the most effective way to treat co-occurring alcohol use disorder and depression to see positive, lasting results. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthawareness2020

Any abuse of a substance can trigger a #psychoticepisode, which includes symptoms like #hallucinations and #delusions. These episodes are usually short but also harmful. #Recovery is possible with ongoing #treatment. This is what will lead to lasting recovery and reduce the risk of future episodes. #mentalhealth #substanceusedisorder #addiction #druginducedpsychosis #altamirarecovery

What are you watching?

Having parents with #alcoholism is particularly problematic. Family history does not guarantee future #addiction. Awareness, management of #mentalhealth, and changing risk factors that can be controlled are essential to stopping the cycle of addiction
