Testimonials

"First a big thank you to you and your staff at the Christian rehab. It saved my husband's life and has ended up bringing our entire family closer together. It proved more difficult than I ever could have imagined to find a Christian rehab. It seemed so many other rehabs said they were Christ centered, but upon further investigation, it was just a marketing scheme. I m happy to say your rehab restored my husband's faith along with blessing him with his sobriety."
Ann B., Cleveland, Ohio

"I am now sober for eight months and active in church again. Who would ever have thought I could do it. I was so scared, but you made my detox comfortable, could always have used more medication though, just a joke. I am attending Christian counseling two times a week and it really helps. Again thanks, taking it one day at a time!"
Brad C., Jacksonville, Florida

"My son's life was a mess. He had been arrested twice for DUI's and was only getting worse each and every day. If it wasn't for your treatment center, I can't imagine where he would have ended up. I would recommend your Christian rehab, as he calls it, to anyone."
Beverly W., Omaha, Nebraska

"A Christian drug rehab, who would have thought I would have ever ended up there. Although when I took a look at my college studies it was clear I majored in opiates and alcohol. As you can tell, I have regained my sense of humor, am back in school and have put together six months of continued sobriety. I just wanted to say thanks."
George H., Knoxville, Tennessee

Barbiturates

Barbiturates are a type of depressant drug that causes relaxation and sleepiness and are often abused. Taking barbiturates along with alcohol, opiates or benzodiazepine drugs will cause greater effects than each of them alone and can lead to overdose. Barbiturates should never be taken except as prescribed. Recreational users report that a barbiturate high gives them feelings of relaxed contentment and euphoria but they would not be feeling very relaxed if they knew that barbiturate intoxication can ultimately cause respiratory arrest that could lead to death.

Barbiturates Addiction

Barbiturates are often prescribed for seizure disorders or pain syndromes, and taken as directed by a physician can be used safely. However, when taking barbiturates in larger doses or more frequently than prescribed, either intentional or unintentional barbiturates abuse can turn into barbiturates addiction. In relatively low doses, barbiturates and alcohol have very similar clinical syndromes of intoxication. Barbiturates may also cause an acute overdose syndrome, which is life-threatening.

Symptoms of acute barbiturate intoxication include:

Sluggishness

Incoordination

Difficulty in thinking

Slowness of speech

Faulty judgment

Drowsiness or coma

Shallow breathing

Staggering
