Facts
Evidence shows drugs, often in combination with alcohol, are involved in many automobile accidents. Driving under the influence of a drug can impair one's perception, motor skills, reaction time (the time it takes to respond to any stimulus), and judgment. Research shows marijuana to be the most common illegal drug found in both impaired drivers and crash victims. Other drugs, such as prescription drugs, cocaine, opiates, and inhalants, have also been reported. Drugged driving not only puts drivers and passengers at great risk for injury and death, but also others on the road. Statistics present a very serious teen issue. Motor-vehicle accidents are the number-one cause of death among people ages 15-20. Furthermore, NIDA's 2006 Monitoring the Future survey indicates that 10.6 percent of high-school seniors reported driving under the influence of marijuana and 12.4 percent reported driving under the influence of alcohol in the two weeks prior to completing the survey. "Crack" cocaine became popular in the 1980's and 90's due to the inexpensive street price and the speed in which the drug entered the bloodstream via the lungs. Modern federal drug control legislation may be said to have begun with an 1887 act to keep aspects of the Chinese opium traffic from the U.S. and prohibit the involvement of U.S. citizens in that traffic. In 1914, Congress enacted the Harrison Narcotics Act (P.L. 63-223) to regulate traffic in narcotics and other drugs, require doctors and pharmacists to keep detailed records of drug distribution, and mandate the purchase of tax stamps to ensure oversight of drug sales. Although the Act was not specifically designed to eliminate drug use except for medicinal purposes, it did provide information on the sale of these drugs and it served as the principal drug control statute until 1970. Four in ten Americans have used marijuana at least once in their lifetimes. One in ten Americans reports using the drug at least once in the past year, and six in every one hundred Americans report using the drug at least once in the past month. These statistics come from the "2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)." According to the NSDUH report, 96.6 million Americans have tried marijuana at least once. |
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.
Detox
Detox is necessary when an individual through their chronic use of drugs or alcohol has developed an addiction. The objective of detox is to help the individual achieve a drug and alcohol free state. Detox is intended to relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and helps prepare the individual for entry into drug rehabilitation. Therefore, the ultimate goal of detox is preparation for long term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
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.
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.
