It is no secret that substance use can be very dangerous. But a lot of people do not realize just how much of a risk they are taking because they are not aware of the dangers of mixing substances. Something that would be generally harmful could be lethal when combined with another substance. At Crestview Recovery, we want to help you break free of substance use, to reduce your risk of having a serious health event.
You can live a life that’s clean and sober, and one you feel good about. There is a healthy future out there for you, and it’s waiting for you to claim it. By reaching out to our addiction treatment center in Portland, Oregon, you can get started on the right road to do that.
Dangers of Mixing Substances
If you are not sure about the dangers of mixing substances, you should know that the problem is often based on the way chemicals interact with one another. Something that might be important, like a prescription for anxiety, can become very toxic when it’s taken with alcohol, for example. Different kinds of drugs, both legal and not legal, interact with each other in sometimes surprising ways. Even if you are taking prescribed medications exactly as your doctor prescribes them, you still want to check for drug interactions. When you mix substances, though, you add to the risks that something you put into your system could have a bad reaction to something else that’s in there, too. The results can be devastating.
If you have any questions about different prescription medications you are taking, contact Crestview Recovery. We offer a prescription drug addiction rehab and can help you through your addiction.
