Facts
Unlike drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, and heroin, ecstasy is not derived from a naturally occurring plant; rather it is a synthetic drug created in a laboratory. An average ecstasy tablet contains between 75 mg and 150 mg of MDMA, along with some inactive filler compounds, but they can range anywhere from 0 mg to 400 mg MDMA. Due to its synthetic nature, ecstasy is frequently cut with other drugs, and some recent drug busts have found tablets sold as ecstasy to contain less than 30% actual MDMA. Some other drugs often sold as or in combination with MDMA as ecstasy are methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), dimethyltrypatamine (DMT), dipropyltryptamine (DPT), paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA), and numerous other stimulants and hallucinogens including PCP, cocaine, ketamine (specialk), methamphetamine, gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), lysergic acid (LSD), pseudoephedrine, and dextromethorphan (cough medicine). Like most drug users, ecstasy users rarely use just ecstasy. Other drugs commonly taken in combination with ecstasy are alcohol, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, LSD, other "club drugs," and sometimes antidepressants or benzodiazepines to counteract the feeling of "coming down" off ecstasy. An estimated 16.6 million persons age 12 or older were classified with dependence on or abuse of either alcohol or illicit drugs in 2001 (7.3 percent of the population). Of these, 2.4 million were classified with dependence or abuse of both alcohol and illicit drugs, 3.2 million were dependent or abused illicit drugs but not alcohol, and 11.0 million were dependent on or abused alcohol but not illicit drugs. The number of persons with substance dependence or abuse increased from 14.5 million (6.5 percent of the population) in 2000 to 16.6 million (7.3 percent) in 2001. Between 2000 and 2001, there was a significant increase in the estimated number of persons age 12 or older needing treatment for an illicit drug problem. This number increased from 4.7 million in 2000 to 6.1 million in 2001. During the same period, there was also an increase from 0.8 million to 1.1 million in the number of persons receiving treatment for this problem at a specialty facility. However, the overall number of persons needing but not receiving treatment increased from 3.9 million to 5.0 million. Although little in-depth research has been conducted on riding with drunk drivers, data do seem to indicate that youths frequently engage in this behavior. Wechsler and associates (1994) found that 18% of college students in their sample had been passengers in a vehicle driven by someone under the influence in the past month. A telephone survey of 16- to 20-year-olds reported that 25% of the respondents claimed to have ridden with a drunk driver within the month prior to the survey. Furthermore, findings from DiBlasio's (1986) study of 10th- through 12th-graders showed that 78% replied that they rode with a drunk driver at least once in their lifetime. Freonä is a trade name for any of a series of gases used as refrigerants and propellants in aerosol products. Freon is used in older automobile air conditions and to recharge any air conditioner. Mental health experts refer to Freon abuse as hitching on to the "Death Ride." The quick thirty second high produced by inhaling Freon can cause unconsciousness for five to thirty minutes, even death. |
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.
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.
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.
Intervention
An intervention is when a group of loved ones and/or a trained intervention counselor meets with the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down their denial and motivating them to immediately seek drug addiction treatment. Often, individuals in the midst of drug addiction engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help. When an intervention is held a moment of clarity is created
for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
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.
