The widespread availability of so called “designer” drugs such as bath salts, spice and other synthetic chemicals presents a significant health problem to our communities. These drugs have a high risk for abuse and are commonly used by teenagers struggling with substance abuse and addiction issues. These drugs are commonly available for sale in corner stores and “head shops” and are present the same dangers that heroin addiction, cocaine addiction, and methamphetamine addiction present. Licensed drug counseling services and drug treatment programs are seeing an increasing amount of individuals suffering from drug abuse and chemical dependency related to these synthetic drug formulas. Drug treatment for bath salts and spice is the same as drug treatment for any other addictive substance. An Intensive Outpatient Program for drug abuse and drug addiction is a great option for those struggling with substance abuse.

DUI Substance Abuse Evaluation Scottsdale
Stonewall Institute offers DUI substance abuse evaluation Scottsdale services in order for individuals to be considered for the reinstatement of driving privileges by the Phoenix MVD in the state of Arizona.
Substance abuse, also known as drug abuse, refers to a maladaptive pattern of use of a substance that is not considered dependent. The term “drug abuse” does not exclude dependency, but is otherwise used in a similar manner in nonmedical contexts. The terms have a huge range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect. All of these definitions imply a negative judgment of the drug use in question (compare with the term responsible drug use for alternative views). Some of the drugs most often associated with this term include alcohol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methaqualone, and opioids. Use of these drugs may lead to criminal penalty in addition to possible physical, social, and psychological harm, both strongly depending on local jurisdiction. Other definitions of drug abuse fall into four main categories: public health definitions, mass communication and vernacular usage, medical definitions, and political and criminal justice definitions.
