The Year in Synthetic Drugs — Spice and Bath Salts
January 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment
We’ve heard a lot about the dangers of “Spice” and “Bath Salts” over the past year. 2012 was the Year of the Synthetics, and much ado was made about them. Just how bad are they, really? Will they make you eat people’s faces? (No) Are they safe? (Maybe, sometimes) Are they a good idea (Not really). Here’s an article that every addict and recreational drug user needs to read, free of the media hype, and containing balanced information.
To begin with, bath salts—just like Spice and other cannabis spinoffs—are no longer legal. And many of the drugs found in bath salts appear to be addictive. Some carry known health hazards. And, although it was the desire to finesse drug testing that gave a major push to this new class of recreational chemicals, major bath salt ingredients can now be detected in routine urinalysis.

Happy Thanksgiving To Our Alumni And Staff!
Sunrise Detox is about people, so we’d like to mention a few that we’re thankful for this holiday season.
We’re thankful for our dedicated people at Sunrise Detox in Lake Worth and New Jersey. We’re thankful for the professionals who worked to get Sunrise Detox Ft. Lauderdale up and running, and who helped us successfully pass our Joint Commission inspection last week. We’re thankful for our marketers and the folks who are busy preparing for our planned facilities elsewhere, especially the leaders who work so hard to help Sunrise grow and maintain its professional standards. We’re thankful for our housekeepers, maintenance, techs, nursing staff, therapists and office support personnel. Sunrise wouldn’t exist without you.
And we’re thankful for our clients. You are not only our reason for being, you are the measure of our success. We operate an unusual business, measured by the customers who don’t return. Each of you who walks out our doors carries our heartfelt wish that you succeed. Some of you go on to treatment and the 12-step rooms, and others choose different paths. Our hopes go with you all. We’re thankful, too, for those who do return to us — thankful that you made it back, that the disease of addiction was cheated one more time, and that you’ll have another chance.
So this holiday season, and especially on Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be grateful for. If we did a gratitude list, it would be far too long, so we simply say to all of you…
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
