Facts
Alcohol-impaired drivers are a severe risk not only to themselves, but to other drivers. 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. When charged with driving under the influence or any crime related to it, impairment due to alcohol or other drugs is never accepted as a defense. Drivers can be charged with the very serious crimes of murder, voluntary or involuntary manslaughter, or criminally negligent homicide. In every state, the minimum punishment for convicted drunk drivers involves automatic license suspension for a period of time that varies from state to state. Additionally, some states impose short jail sentences for first-time convicts, and most states mandate that offenders complete some type of treatment program. Dilaudid and Palladone are the prescription names for hydromorphone hydrochloride. Both are made as pills. Dilaudid is a powder-based pill that immediately dissolves in the stomach. Palladone is a time-release capsule. The capsule's shell dissolves in the stomach and the medicine moves on into the intestines in the form of small pellets coated with substances that dissolve over time. Some pellets have more coating than others, allowing for a continuous release of the medicine into the bloodstream. In the past, doctors used injections of hydromorphone during and after surgery for pain relief. In more recent decades fentanyl has replaced hydromorphone for use in surgeries and also as a time-release painkiller. Abusers of dilaudid have been known to crush the pills and snort or inject the powder. Injection can be dangerous because the powder-form pills contain fillers that do not always dissolve completely. The injection of these particles into the blood can damage veins. Doctors who issue legal prescriptions for hydromorphone are ordered to stress the medication's potential for abuse. Patients needing the medicine are told to take it only as prescribed. They are not to double-up on doses. Also, they are told to flush any leftover medicine down the toilet so that it cannot be stolen. Patients who take the medication for more than a few weeks will need "taper down" doses to avoid WITHDRAWAL symptoms. Nearly one-half and one-third of 8th- and 10th-graders, respectively, fail to see "great risk" in smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day. And smokeless tobacco is seen as even less hazardous; only about 39 percent of 8th-graders and 47 percent of 10th-graders see "great risk" in regular use of smokeless tobacco. The mental effects associated with ecstasy, such as mood disorders, learning and memory impairment, paranoia, irrational behavior, and inattention, potentially could interfere with a person's duties at school or work, although reports of this type of impact are sparse. The culture surrounding ecstasy use is associated with the taking of other drugs; therefore those drugs introduced while on ecstasy have the potential to persist as drug problems beyond the period of ecstasy use. Multiple drug users might experience difficulties with social and occupational functioning, but these effects could not be clearly attributed to ecstasy use. Similarly, crime and violence has been associated much more often with other drugs than with ecstasy (aside from illegal possession of the drug). However, "club drugs" as a group have been associated with sexual offenses, and all drug users are more likely to be involved in traffic accidents while under the influence. Again, as tracking of ecstasy use patterns and trends becomes more widespread, clearer information on the social consequences of ecstasy use will become available. |
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.
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.
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".
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.
