Drug Rehab Wiki
Welcome to the Drug Rehab Wiki. You can use the left search box to find articles on specific topics. Each week we add new articles on topics related to drug rehab, addiction, treatment, and related co-occurring disorders such as depression, PTSD, and eating disorders.
The Drug Rehab Wiki is the first wiki to focus primarily on drug rehab related topics such as substance abuse, drug addiction, alcoholism, and the co-occurring psychiatric disorders and underlying psychological issues that often accompany addiction. The goal of the Drug Rehab Wiki is to define various terms and phrases that you might come across in researching drug addiction or other addictions. In searching for drug rehab treatment, you should be well informed about the various psychiatric issues that can be treated in drug rehab because many addicted people have a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder or addiction.
The Drug Rehab Wiki also covers types of abused drugs, psychiatric issues, government organizations that focus on addiction research and treatment, the history of alcohol use and attitudes toward drug use, and just about any topic that has some relation to the use of alcohol or drugs.

Featured Drug: Cocaine
The coca leaf has a rich and varied history. The coca leaf was considered a divine plant by the Incans, for example, which used it in traditional spiritual ceremonies. There are still indigenous peoples of South America, particularly on the western coast, who consider coca an essential part of religious practices. Used as a masticatory in Bolivia, coca is viewed as a means of honoring, invoking and communing with the earth mother, Pachamama. There is evidence that coca has also been an integral part of shamanic practices in South America. For example, the coca leaf has been used by shamans to enhance meditation, induce trance and facilitate communion with supernatural powers. Coca is also used by high attitude miners in South America for stamina and endurance as well as spiritual protection. Miners offer coca in various forms to the Tio, the devil of the mines, to appease the supernatural being while in the dangerous depths of the mines.
