Facts
The results of the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study were released to the public on December 21, 2004. An annual survey on adolescent drug use and attitudes, it is conducted by the University of Michigan (U of M) with funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). According to the report, the percentage of eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders who had used methamphetamine in a one-year period decreased over the previous five years. In 1999, some 3.2 percent of eighth graders used methamphetamine at least once during the year, compared to 1.5 percent of eighth graders in 2004. Tenth-grader use in a one-year period decreased from 4.6 to 3 percent, and senior use of methamphetamine dropped from 4.7 to 3.4 percent. Designer drugs are specially crafted imitations of existing drugs and were originally designed to mimic stimulants along with added hallucinogenic or other powerful effects that would escape legal identification. The drugs are created in laboratories or by underground chemists working in their own basements or kitchens. The most popular designer drug nationwide is MDMA, also known as Ecstasy or X. Ecstasy is considered the ultimate social drug and is known as "the hug drug" because it gives users a feeling of empathy and togetherness coupled with an upall- night amphetamine rush. Scientists don't know the full range of damage that Ecstasy and other designer drugs can cause. Research so far indicates that designer drugs such as Ecstasy kill brain cells, can cause Parkinson's disease, increase heart and blood pressure, and affect the fluid in the spinal column. By 1996, 6 percent of high school seniors, 5.6 percent of sophomores, and 3.4 percent of eighth graders had used it. The designer drugs come in the form of pills or powder and can cost between five dollars and twenty-five dollars for a single dose. Depending on the part of the country, some of the other popular designer drugs are Special K, GHB, DMT, Nexus, Cat, Star, and D Meth. These drugs can create intense disorientation and out-of-body hallucinations, and, in the case of DMT, can cause total physical collapse. An Ecstasy party at a dance club. Ecstasy, known as the "hug drug," is commonly used at clubs and raves (all-night dance parties). Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a group of symptoms manifested by individuals who stop drinking alcohol after a pattern of continuous and excessive consumption. These symptoms can range from mild to moderate to severe and include both psychological and behavioral aspects. Among household residents aged 12 and older, an estimated 80 to 82 percent have consumed alcoholic beverages; this represents from 174,928,000 to 179,975,000 individuals. During the month prior to the survey, an estimated 51 percent had consumed alcohol. As might be expected, the prevalence values for 18-to 25-year-olds were somewhat higher than they were for the high school seniors, especially in relation to recent drinking: Almost 60 percent of the 18-to 25-year-olds had consumed alcoholic beverages during the month prior to the survey. The values for 12-to 17-year-olds were lower: About 37 percent in this age group had tried alcoholic beverages at least once, and about 19 percent had consumed alcohol during the month prior to the survey. An estimated 22.4 percent of respondents of all age groups from 12 years upward reported drinking at least once per week or more during the year prior to the survey. Corresponding estimates for respondents aged 12 to 17, 18 to 25, 26 to 34, and 35 were 4.6, 24.5, 23.8, and 24.6 percent, respectively. Alcohol dependence was found to have affected 15 percent of those who had consumed alcoholic beverages: Out of every six or seven persons who had tried alcohol, about one had become dependent on alcohol. In relation to the total survey population that included drinkers as well as abstainers, an estimated 14 percent were found to qualify for the diagnosis of drug dependence, according to the American Psychiatric Association's criteria. |
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.
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.

in their aims and outcomes and elements of these addiction treatment options are often
combined.
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.
