Don’t Judge them, they don’t want to be that way either.

Don’t Judge them, they don’t want to be that way either.

Mar 2, 2014 | Posted by cmbmd79@gmail.com | addicted to heroin, addicted to percocet, addicted to subutex, i need help., methadone. drug addiction, opioid addiction, suboxone |

When I say don’t judge them I am speaking of patients that may come into the hospital or office who seem to have an addiction to opiates for example. This terrible drug is affecting our youth, teenagers, adolescents and even adults. What we have seen in society is a drastic change in the price of drugs.

You can find that the Extra Strength Vicodin goes for about $5.00 per pill in Wisconsin. Oxycontin 45 MG for $65.

In one day a a young child or adolesent may spend 100-200/drugs. Simultaneoiusly they are ruining their body and hope of getting better, digging deeper into depression as they feel hopeless in a rollercoaster ride through hell. But honestly they don’t want all this to go on. They want to feel normal, they want to have friends, they want to have back there trusting parents. They want to again enjoy the hobbies and activities they used to enjoy.

However it isn’t easy for them. They are addicted to a drug and just as addicting smoking is that you can’t stop addiction to opioids is probably worse. There is a physical dependence and a mental dependence.

There are multiple choices for treatment including outpatient care programs and inpatient detoxes. Despite having gone through detox many of these patients are just going to turn around and pick up again as they are again exposed to the same individuals they were connected with previously, lack self esteem and it is easier for them to say yes than to say no.

People need not judge these individuals, but help them. Think for example where many of these opiate addicted patients first built up this tolerance and dependence? It many times than not from their Orthopedic Surgeon or primary care doctor. They didn’t have good followup and doctors lack knowledge of side effects of opioids and the damaging effects it may have on the lives of its victims, patients and families. There is hope though. There is alot of help out there. Good Bless you if you are struggleing.

About cmbmd79@gmail.com

Originally from Long Island, NY, Dr. Brennan had a wonderful upbringing on Long Island and Fire Island in the summers, Grateful for parents sacrifices. I was grateful to have 3 wonderful brothers and a sister all who are inspiring and supportive. I always asked questions and wanted to know more. I was a very curious person and always wanted to learn more. I took a more untraditional path towards Medicine which began at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York where I was a Management Information Systems Major and graduated with a B.S. During my 4 years at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute I traveled and studied abroad in Australia and Indonesia. I was also a member of the Varsity Men’s Lacrosse Team for all 4 years. I felt I really wasn’t doing the work I wanted to do every day. Moreover, I was passionate about health, wellbeing and fitness. I enjoyed working with and helping people and I knew Medicine was where my heart was. So, I went to Medical School and now practice Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine. I have taken advantage of my education and further exploited that knowledge to learn more about health information technology, software development and web development. I enjoy inspiring others to take on challenges and reap the rewards of success. I now spend a good portion of my time outside of the hospital brainstorming ideas and developing software and designing websites. I am passionate about life and all the opportunities it has to offer. Never take anything for granted and be grateful you have another day to further your knowledge and make a contributing impact on society.
