Facts
In early 20th-century Memphis, Tennessee, cocaine was sold in neighborhood drugstores on Beale Street, costing five or ten cents for a small boxful. Community-based outreach is an essential component of HIV/AIDS prevention and must be directed to drug users in their own neighborhoods. Drug abuse is usually a covert activity, making it difficult to contact drug users and their sex partners through traditional health and social service agencies. Indigenous outreach workers who are familiar with the drug use subcultures and local neighborhoods in their communities have been shown to be effective agents of behavioral change and referral sources to service agencies and drug abuse treatment facilities. In 1996, local law enforcement agencies made an estimated 1,467,300 arrests nationwide for driving under the influence of alcohol. According to the survey data, the annual prevalence of the use of benzodiazepines among college students dropped by 50% between the years of 1980 to 1984(6.9% to 3.5%, respectively), and then dropped by another 50% between 1984 and 1994 (to 1.8%). Then, usage rates began a steady increase, reaching 4.2% by2000. In young adults not considered to be college students, these rates dropped more sharply during the early 1980s. Similarly, in high school seniors, the use of benzodiazepines also dropped from 1977 to 1992 (from10.8% to 2.8%, respectively), and then rose to a total of5.7% in 2000. According to this same survey, the lifetime prevalence of use of tranquilizers in the year 2000 for full-time college students was low, at 8.8%, as compared to young adults who were one to four years beyond high school in the same age group, which was 12.7%. This was higher among full-time college students who were male than in those who were female (10.0% vs. 7.9%, respectively). These drugs were most likely to be used by non-collegiate males (14.5%), and to a lesser degree, females (11.3%). |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
