Facts
In its pure form, PCP is a white crystalline powder that has a bitter taste. It can be mixed with dyes and can be sold in a variety of tablets, capsules and coloured powder. PCP is easily synthesized; as a consequence, it is often passed off to street buyers as another drug such as methamphetamine, mescaline, LSD or THC (the active ingredient in cannabis). Cocaine affects the body both mentally and physically. Cocaine affects the body mentally because it causes depression, hallucinations and paranoia, and it also changes a persons behavior, most of the time for the worse. People using large amounts of cocaine frequently experience a hallucination known as "coke bugs." During this hallucination they feel and see bugs all over their bodies. One woman with "coke bugs" said she would pick bugs off of her arms and legs and put them in a glass of water besider her bed. When she woke up the next morning she found a glass of water filled with pieces of her own skin. That leads to the physical effects of cocaine. Cocaine affects the brain in many different ways. First, it narrows the blood vessels, so the supply of oxygen and nutrients, essential to the brains functioning and survival, are cut down. Seizures and major convulsions also result from cocaine's direct effect on the brain. Cocaine may also interfere with the hearts pumping action. This can cause disturbances in the hearts rhythm. The heart may beat irregularly or stop all together. chronic users of ecstasy perform more poorly than nonusers on certain types of cognitive or memory tasks, although some of these effects may be due to the use of other drugs in combination with ecstasy. New Friends, New Pressures, New Peer and Social Norms. One study found that the number of children who report experimenting with marijuana increases dramatically from 6th grade, where children remain in the relative safety of elementary school, to junior high or middle school, where children are exposed to a variety of new social and peer norms. The study found that 8 percent of 6th graders had experimented with marijuana, but 23 percent of 7th graders and 33 percent of 8th graders reported trying the drug. |
Withdrawal
Withdrawal is what happens when a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol discontinues use. There are numerous symptoms that take place both physically and emotionally when an addicted individual stops using. Withdrawal can last a few days to a few weeks and may include nausea or vomiting, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety. Keep in mind; this only occurs if a person has regular, heavy use of a drug or alcohol. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable without professional help. Treatment for withdrawal from alcohol or drugs may require a medical professional to be present. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation is often the best way to overcome withdrawal and its symptoms as well as recovery from drug addiction.
Alcoholism
Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence," is a condition that includes craving and continued alcohol abuse despite repeated drinking-related problems, such as losing a job or getting into trouble with the law. It includes four major areas: Craving: - A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. Impaired control: -The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. Physical dependence: -Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. Tolerance: - The need for increasing amounts of alcohol in order to feel its effects.
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is defined as the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for other than medically warranted purposes. Drug abuse is a problem which has an effect on people of all income levels,
ages, and stations in life. Quite often the last person to see that there is a
problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".
Drug Rehabilitation
Drug rehabilitation is a place or program that an individual enters to treat a drug or alcohol addiction. Through therapy and education, the individual is restored to their former non-drug using self. They are then able to re-enter society clean and sober. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Some of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, problems with the law, and problems at work. Also, there are several different types of drug rehabilitation programs available: inpatient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term.
Tolerance
Tolerance to a drug takes place when an individual is exposed to the same drug repeatedly and begins to build up an resistance to the drugs effects. The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user. These cravings for the drug are the result of its impact on the individual's memory with feelings of pleasantness and euphoria which the individual has come to associate with the taking of the drug.
