Quinnipiac Drug Treatment Centers

About us

Quinnipiac Drug Treatment Centers knows people get addicted to a wide array of psychoactive substances, from legal drugs through to prescription medications and illicit drugs. Drugs can be classified in many ways, including their legal status, addictive potential, and biological action. Psychoactive substances are often characterized according to the type of addiction they cause, with some drugs known to produce a physicalsomatic withdrawal syndrome and other drugs known to cause an emotional-motivational withdrawal syndrome. Generally speaking, central nervous system (CNS) depressants are more likely to cause physical dependence and CNS stimulants are more likely to cause psychological dependence. Drugs that cause physical dependence often require medical detox and medication treatment, with psychological dependence often treated through psychotherapy measures alone. While there are some exceptions to this rule, including marijuana, CNS depressants are more likely to need medical support. CALL (203) 674-9396 TODAY.
