A Message from Drug Rehab
Teen Bullying & Drug Addiction Researchers have found that middle and high school students who bully their peers or are bullied by others are more likely than students who aren't involved in bullying to use alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana. Our organization is working to bring awareness to this issue. DrugRehab.com is dedicated to providing help to teens and their loved ones. We believe that teens and parents have a better chance at conquering the hurdles of drug and substance abuse by having a better understanding of addiction, its causes, how to prevent it, and when to consider treatment. You can review their information and resources by visiting https://www.drugrehab.com/teens/ https://www.drugrehab.com/guides/bullying/

Below an excerpt from the Ministry of Health updated “Get Help Psychoactive Substances” (attached here)
What you can expect if you stop using. If you have been using psychoactive substances regularly and you stop, you are likely to experience withdrawal (also known as detox). Withdrawal can cause symptoms that could last for several weeks or even months. Most people can cope with mild withdrawal by knowing what to expect, taking extra care of themselves (such as resting and drinking water) and possibly using natural remedies to help with sleep and agitation. Most people will complete withdrawal with mild to moderate symptoms. Where to get help: Free confidential advice and support is available.
