Facts
In 2006 there were approximately 5,000 cocaine-trafficking-related arrests made in the United States. This number is significantly lower than in 2004, when almost 11,000 such arrests were made by various US drug officials. A particularly unpleasant health condition that virtually all heroin addicts suffer is chronic constipation. Though opium provides relief for an upset stomach, heroin intensifies opium's soothing properties to the point of impairing the efficiency and function of the small intestines, resulting in chronic constipation for heroin addicts. This backup in the small intestines causes severe pain and tenderness in the addict's lower abdomen and colon, and can also cause related physical discomforts such as headache and backache. Additionally, since the bacteria and toxins that should be eliminated remain instead in the lower intestines for a prolonged period of time, some of them are reabsorbed back into the body, which further weakens the immune system and places the organs, particularly the liver, under additional stress. Further, the addict's body does not develop tolerance to this effect of heroin—it is a constant for as long as the physical addiction exists. In 1999, 733 methamphetamine exhibits were analyzed by the Drug Analysis Services of Health Canada. This number increased to over 5,500 in 2004, stretching capacity beyond its limits. In some areas of the country police agencies are becoming concerned about the increasing number of these operations and/or toxic waste dumpsites around their operation. Internal capacity, resources and training must increase to manage the emerging trend of production operations. As of October 2001, 55.5% of sentenced prisoners in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facilities were drug offenders. In comparison, in 1970 approximately 16% of BOP-sentenced prisoners were drug offenders. |
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.
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.
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.
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".
Therapeutic Community
An effective therapeutic community attends to the many needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Care given at a therapeutic community addresses the individual's drug use and associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal problems. Also, a therapeutic community will continue to be flexible and provide ongoing assessments of the individual's needs, which may change during the course of care.
Remaining in care at a therapeutic community for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness. The time depends on an individual's needs. For most people, the significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment.
