Drug Information
Are you abusing drugs and thinking about drug rehab?
Drug addiction is a pathological or abnormal condition which arises due to frequent drug use. The disorder of addiction involves the progression of recreational drug use to the development of drug-seeking behaviour, vulnerability to relapse, and a gradual decrease in the drug user’s ability to respond to naturally rewarding stimuli.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM-IV) has categorized three stages of addiction: preoccupation/anticipation, binge/intoxication and withdrawal / negative effect. These stages are characterized by constant cravings and preoccupation with obtaining the substance; using more of the substance(s) than necessary to experience the intoxicating effects; and gaining tolerance, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and decreased motivation for normal life activities. Last Door treats addiction to illegal drugs as well as prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

Recovery at Last Door is a way of experiencing life. This “social” model program offers clients and their families an opportunity to experience recovery in an actual community. Recovery at Last Door is neither a destination nor a goal; it is about gaining a feeling of connectedness within a healthy community. It is about sharing and caring, about being part of something larger than oneself that gives both foundation and a sense of hope for the future.
Last Door draws on the collective experience and energy of alumni, clients, their families and staff to forge a community that is conducive to creating a solid foundation for recovery. The Last Door Recovery community is vibrant and alive – with both giving to and taking happening between community members. Purpose and dignity are the building blocks for the self esteem that is so crucial to recovery – both flow abundantly within the community.
