Facts
Alcohol is classified as a depressant because it slows down the functions of the central nervous system. This means that normal brain activity becomes delayed, and a person is unable to function normally. It affects a person's information-processing skills, also known as cognitive skills, and hand-eye coordination, known as psychomotor skills. When a person consumes alcohol, it affects his or her cognitive abilities and judgment. This means that it is difficult to process information, assess situations, and make proper decisions, all of which are of the utmost importance when operating a boat. Penalties for possession and trafficking of drugs are related to the schedule involved and range from a maximum of life for trafficking of Schedule I or II drugs and maximum possession penalties of seven or five years respectively. For Schedule III substances, the maximum penalty range is from a maximum of three years for possession to a maximum of ten years for trafficking. There are no minimum penalties. Some of the negative effects of ecstasy use can be thought of as a distortion of the effects others view as positive. For example, feelings of awareness and energy are replaced by feelings of anxiety, agitation, confusion, and fear, potentially leading to irrational or erratic behavior, panic attacks, or even psychotic episodes. Both these desirable and undesirable effects are short-term and can last anywhere from three to eight hours. Another short-term effect is hyperthermia, or overheating, which can result in death. PSYCHEDELIC drugs (primarily LYSERGIC ACID DIETHYMIDE, or LSD) had been used by an estimated 14 percent of high school seniors. Almost two-thirds of these users (9.4%) had used them in the year prior to the survey, and about one-quarter (3.5%) had used them during the month prior to the survey. PHENCYCLIDINE (PCP) users were in the minority within this group of drug users; only 3.4 percent of the high school seniors had ever tried PCP. Among persons aged 12 years and older, from 9.1 to 10.7 percent of individuals had tried psychedelic drugs such as LSD, but for the most part these drug experiences were not recent: Only 0.5 to 0.9 percent reported taking psychedelic drugs during the month prior to the survey. Peak prevalence values for recent use of the psychedelic drugs were observed in the years of adolescence and early adulthood; only for 12-to 17-year-olds and 18-to 25-year-olds did these values exceed a threshold of 1 percent (1.8 and 2.7%, respectively); otherwise, they were at the 0.4 percent level or lower. |
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.
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.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work). Drug addiction encompasses a diverse range of drugs (such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, and cocaine) and is caused by many different factors.
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.
Drug Overdose
A drug overdose occurs when you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate. Drug users are constantly flirting with the risk of a drug overdose. There is a
fine line between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long term effects, there
can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
