Facts
In 2001, an estimated 0.7% of the population age 12 and older reported using cocaine, including crack, at least once in the past month. Such use peaked in 1979 for 18- to 25-year-olds at 9.9%; in 1982 for 12- to 17-year-olds at 1.9%; and in 1985 for 26- to 34-year-olds at 6.3%. Who Commits the Most Serious Crimes? In most cases, both drug use and crime begin in the early teens. The younger the individual is when first using a "soft" drug such as marijuana or committing a minor crime such as shoplifting, the more likely he or she will move on to "hard" drugs and more serious crimes. In general, criminal activity and drug use within the family, peer group, or community increases the risk that an individual will commit crimes at an early age. Individuals who commit many different types of crime, including violent crime, at high rates, and who abuse many types of drugs, including heroin and cocaine, share certain characteristics. In general, the younger they are when first addicted to heroin and/or cocaine, the more frequent, persistent, and severe their criminal activity tends to be. This is true of both males and females, with one notable exception: Females who become addicted at an early age are more likely to commit nonviolent acts (such as prostitution, shoplifting, and other property crimes) at high rates, while males addicted early on are more likely to commit violent acts. It is worth noting that, overall, both violent crime and property crime has been steadily declining in the United States for more than ten years. Violent crime rates have declined since 1994, and reached the lowest rate on record in 2000. Property crime rates have been declining for the past twenty years. Many accidents are caused when teenagers, high on drugs, believe they are invincible and try to prove it, or are just so confused that they can't comprehend danger. No matter how careful people are when they are sober, drugs or alcohol can cloud their judgment and turn simple acts like crossing the street into life-threatening situations. Heroin use among adolescents has increased significantly over the past decade. This increase poses a considerable danger for adolescents potentially resulting in serious psychological, social, educational, and legal consequences. Professional school counselors are in a position to support and intervene through school-based consultation services. This article: (a) introduces the recent trends in adolescent heroin abuse, (b) reviews the potential consequences and warning signs of heroin abuse, and (c) presents school-based consultation as an intervention strategy for supporting these students. |
Relapse
Relapse is a term used to describe when an individual who has quit using drugs starts using once again. A relapse can mean just a one time use, a long term continues period of using or anything in between after a period of sobriety has taken place. An individual begins to experience a psychological relapse long before their first use after
quitting. Some things that can lead to relapse both physically or psychologically include: 1. Being in the presence of drugs or alcohol, drug or alcohol users, or places where you used or bought chemicals. 2. Feelings we perceive as negative, particularly anger; also sadness, loneliness, guilt, fear, and anxiety. 3. Positive feelings that make you want to celebrate by using. 4. Listening to others past drug use stories and just dwelling on getting high. 5. Believing that you no longer have to worry (complacent). That is, that you are no longer stimulated to crave drugs/alcohol by any of the above situations or by anything else – and therefore maybe it’s safe for you to use occasionally.
Addict
An addict is an individual who has a compulsive urge to use drugs, to the point where they feel they have no effective choice but to continue use. An addict will continue their self destructive behaviors in order to feel good or to avoid
feeling bad. It can dominate their mind, and keep them coming back for more. The addiction can be
different for each addict, depending on their vice and the kind of person they
are.
Drug Overdose
A drug overdose occurs when you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate. Drug users are constantly flirting with the risk of a drug overdose. There is a
fine line between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long term effects, there
can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
Addiction
Addiction is one of the many consequences of so-called 'casual' drug and alcohol abuse. A loss of control over drugs and alcohol can be driven by physical or psychological factors, or sometimes both. Physical addiction takes place when the body comes to need a drug to function normally. If it is not taken, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms occur. The only way to avoid this is to take more of the drug. Psychological addiction takes place when an individual comes to rely on a drug to supply good feelings, such as relaxation, self-confidence, self esteem, and freedom from anxiety. This is not just a casual desire, it's a powerful compulsion.
Sobriety
Sobriety means the moderation in or abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs. When an individual with an addiction problem enters drug rehabilitation, their main goal is to attain long term sobriety. Unfortunately, sometimes drug addicts and alcoholics find they are able to sustain short periods of sobriety followed by a drug or alcohol relapse. This is why attending a drug or alcohol rehab will help the individual maintain their focus on sobriety. Often, it is only by getting help that individuals with severe drug addiction problems are able to achieve lasting sobriety.
