Facts
Over 80% of heroin users inject with a partner, yet 80% of overdose victims found by paramedics are alone. Oxycodone, the active ingredient in OxyContin®, is a semi-synthetic opiate derived from thebaine, an element of morphine. Oxycodone has been in medical use for moderate to severe pain for many years, under a variety of brand names. Two drawbacks of the previously available brands are; they are available only in low dosages, so some patients must take many pills a day to get relief; they are found in combination with other drugs, like acetaminophen or aspirin, which can cause dangerous side effects when taken in large quantities. Controversy over the causes of alcoholism, however, is a relatively recent phenomenon: The term “alcoholism” itself was not coined until 1860, and the theory that it is a medical disease was only postulated in 1930. Historically, controversy over compulsive drinking has dealt not with what causes it, but rather with how to prevent it; those most concerned about alcoholism have not sought to study the condition, but instead to reduce alcohol consumption. This is especially true of the United States. In 2006 a series of heroin-related overdoses across the United States, most notably in Detroit and Chicago, revealed the use of fentanyl with heroin. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate, 30 to 50 times more powerful than heroin. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reported fentanyl and heroin cases in at least nine other states. In June 2006 the DEA, along with the Chicago Police Department, arrested 29 alleged members of the Mickey Cobra street gang, suspected of trafficking fentanyl-laced heroin as well as crack cocaine and marijuana. While the fentanyl in the United States appears to have been manufactured in Mexico, fentanyl abuse has been reported in Denmark, Sweden, Ukraine, and Russia. The use of fentanyl with heroin occurs sporadically, and reports from the U.S. suggest the heroin/fentanyl mixture was a deliberate effort to market a more powerful form of heroin. Given the dramatic increase in heroin production from Afghanistan, and the ease of manufacturing fentanyl, similar marketing ploys may be anticipated as dealers attempt to increase their market share. Although there are no current indications that fentanyl laced heroin will emerge as a trend, INTERPOL will continue to monitor this drug combination. |
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".
Drug Side Effects
Drug addiction and abuse comes with a heavy price. There are drastic drug side effects associated with drug misuse and abuse. Drug side effects from legal and illegal drugs can range from mild itching to comas and death. In addition to the physical drug side effects mentioned, there are many psychological drug side effects of drug abuse; the most serious being drug addiction and overdose.
Addiction Treatment
Addiction treatment is needed when an individual finds that they have developed a drug or alcohol addiction which they are not able to successful end on their own. With the help of addiction treatment, addicted individual can get help to control their drug taking behavior and live happy and successful lives. There are several addiction treatment options available for drug and alcohol addiction. Some of these options include self-help groups, counseling, drug rehabilitation programs (in and out-patient), and residential treatment facilities. Each of these differ
in their aims and outcomes and elements of these addiction treatment options are often
combined.
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.
