Facts
Intoxication occurs when the actions of a drug impair a person's normal functioning. Consumption of a high dose of drug on one occasion would cause acute intoxication. Chronic (long-term) intoxication is caused by repeated use of doses large enough to maintain a very high drug concentration in the body over a long period of time. Some drugs cause disturbances of speech, memory, and reflexes. Others raise blood pressure and heart rate and cause mental disturbances such as hallucinations and convulsions. Drug and alcohol use by teens is not an issue to be taken carelessly and calmly. There may be numerous reasons why an adolescent might take drugs or alcohol. Some may be just bored and take it up to experiment, while others do it for acceptance by their peers. Teenagers who are introverted, lonesome and require self-confidence often discover that drugs and alcohol change them and make their life happening. Some teenagers feel that taking in drugs and alcohol is a good option to get rid of family problems or to ease tension of performing well academically and otherwise. The drug MDMA is popularly known as "ecstasy," XTC, and ADAM. It is a synthesized compound and a member of the family of HALLUCINOGENS known as the substituted phenethylamines, which also includes methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 2, 5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM). These hallucinogens are structurally related to the phenethylamine-type NEUROTRANSMITTERS dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Many analogs of these compounds have been synthesized and are sometimes found on the street—the so-called DESIGNER DRUGS. Lifetime ecstasy use increased among individuals aged 12 years or older, from 4.3 percent in 2002 to 5.0 percent in 2006; however, past-year use of ecstasy decreased from 1.3 percent to 0.9 percent during the same 5-year period. |
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.
Drug Rehabilitation
Drug rehabilitation is a place or program that an individual enters to treat a drug or alcohol addiction. Through therapy and education, the individual is restored to their former non-drug using self. They are then able to re-enter society clean and sober. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Some of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, problems with the law, and problems at work. Also, there are several different types of drug rehabilitation programs available: inpatient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term.
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.
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.
