Facts
Scientists believe that ecstasy's effects on behavior and thinking caused by damage to nerve cells may become more apparent as current ecstasy users, who are typically young, grower older. Cells die as part of the aging process. This normal cell loss might be worsened if using ecstasy kills or weakens certain nerve cells. This cell damage could have an impact on sleep, food intake, sexual behavior, anxiety, and mood. Alcohol and tobacco use varied according to gender, age, and ethnicity, with men having higher rates of co-use than women. Younger people tended to have a higher prevalence of AUDs, nicotine dependence, and co-use. Although Whites were more likely to drink alcohol, American Indians/Alaskan Natives were most likely to smoke, or to smoke and drink concurrently. Asians/Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders were least likely to smoke or drink, or smoke and drink concurrently. Daily marijuana use has been shown to: Cause users to get lower grades and become less likely to graduate, compared to students who do not smoke. Significantly impair skills related to attention, memory and learning even after not smoking for 24 hours. Cause problems in sustaining and shifting attention. Effect the ability to register, organize and use information, even compared to occasional users of marijuana. Impair users' ability to recall words from a list even a week after quitting marijuana use. Section 462.2 of the Criminal Code addresses instruments for illicit use also known as drug paraphernalia.

Dependence
Dependence is the compulsive use of a substance despite negative consequences which can be severe; drug dependence is simply excessive use of a drug or use of a drug for purposes for which it was not medically intended. Physical dependence on a substance (needing a drug to function) is not necessary or sufficient to define addiction. There are some substances that don't cause addiction but do cause physical dependence (for example, some blood pressure medications) and substances that cause addiction but not classic physical dependence (cocaine withdrawal, for example, it does not have symptoms like vomiting and chills; it is mainly characterized by depression).
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers intensive drug addiction help over a period of weeks or months. This form of treatment has some advantages over out-patient treatment, although it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, those who are responsible for caring for young children may be better suited to attendance at an out patient treatment program. Residential treatment offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment where individuals can confront their own drug addiction and associated issues, with the help of qualified staff. Therapy usually consists of a mixture of group counseling, individual counseling and an introduction to the principles of a drug recovery program.

problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".
