Facts
Legal substances, approved by law for sale over the counter or by doctor's prescription, include caffeine , alcoholic beverages (see alcoholism ), nicotine (see smoking ), and inhalants (nail polish, glue, inhalers, gasoline). Prescription drugs such as tranquilizers , amphetamines , benzodiazepines , barbiturates , steroids , and analgesics can be knowingly or unknowingly overprescribed or otherwise used improperly. In many cases, new drugs prescribed in good conscience by physicians turn out to be a problem later. For example, diazepam (Valium) was widely prescribed in the 1960s and 70s before its potential for serious addiction was realized. In the 1990s, sales of fluoxetine (Prozac) helped create a $3 billion antidepressant market in the United States, leading many people to criticize what they saw as the creation of a legal drug culture that discouraged people from learning other ways to deal with their problems. At the same time, readily available but largely unregulated herbal medicines have grown in popularity; many of these are psychoactive to some degree, raising questions of quality and safety. Prescription drugs are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Crack cocaine: The free base of the alkaloid COCAINE. Cocaine is extracted from the leaves of the coca plant. The initial extraction process results in the alkaloid being converted to cocaine hydrochloride (HCl) salt, which is in crystalline, powdered form. This form is very water soluble and can be administered either orally, intranasally (‘snorted’), or injected intravenously. In the 1980s, when the cocaine epidemic was increasing, methods were sought to make cocaine more available, cheaper, and to maximize its psychological effects. Smoking a drug, such as NICOTINE or MARIJUANA, results in greatly increased amounts of the drug getting to the brain, in a rapid amount of time, because the surface area of the lungs is so great. Drivers who are charged with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol are also commonly charged with reckless driving, speeding, and controlled substance abuse. In every state, the minimum punishment for convicted drunk drivers includes the automatic loss of their licenses for a period of time determined by each state. Additionally, some states impose short jail sentences for first time convicts, and most of them require offenders to complete some type of treatment program. Convicted drivers also face increased insurance rates and a criminal record. Delta receptors = a term used collectively to refer to two characterised subtypes of opioid receptors (delta-1, delta-2) that possess numerous features in common which are not present in the mu receptors or kappa receptors. |
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.
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.
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.
Abstinence
Abstinence is the act or practice of refraining from indulging a desire. The type of abstinence we are referring to here is abstinence from drugs and alcohol. This term has two connotations when it comes to abstaining from drugs. The first refers to drug or alcohol treatment programs that aim to help an individual stop using drugs or alcohol for the rest of their lives. The time abstinence is also used in drug education and prevention. It refers to trying to stop children from ever using drugs.
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.
