Facts
Drug abuse takes a toll on society that can only be partially measured. While we are able to estimate the number of drug-related crimes that occur each year, we can never determine fully the extent to which the quality of life in America’s neighborhoods has been diminished by drug-related criminal behavior. With the exception of drug-related homicides, which have declined in recent years, drug-related crime is continuing at a strong and steady pace. Numerous Drug-Related Arrests Occur Each Year. In 1994, state and local law enforcement agencies made an estimated 1.14 million arrests for drug law violations. The largest percentage of these arrests were for drug possession (75.1 percent). Finding treatment: Substance abuse specialists, school psychologists, social workers, and guidance counselors can help determine the best treatment plan for each individual. Toll-free helplines staffed by professionals can also give general guidance. Drug abusers may need to try a few different approaches before they find a treatment method that works for them. It takes approximately three months of abstinence for the brain to process the reversible changes that drugs have inflicted on it. A craving for the drug may occur at this stage in the withdrawal cycle, causing a relapse. The relapse rate declines slowly from that point until one year, so the teenagers who are most successful at staying off drugs are those who chose treatment that emphasizes relapse prevention and who remain in treatment for a full year. Female victims of violence often engage in self-destructive and maladaptive coping behaviors, including binge drinking. Increased rates of domestic violence among women were associated with increased binge drinking rates. Similarly, women's rates of binge drinking increased from 5.5% among those with no lifetime history of intimate partner violence (IPV), to 12.1% among those with a low level of IPV, to 16.8% among those with a moderate or high level. Binge drinking may occur as a form of self-medication to alleviate symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression, and increase feelings of mastery and control. PCP was originally tested as a surgical anesthetic in the 1950s. It is known as a dissociative anesthetic because it can make a person feel a sense of detachment, as if the mind is separated from the body. Use in humans was abandoned because many patients became agitated, delusional and irrational while recovering from their operations. PCP use was eventually limited to anesthetizing and tranquilizing large animals. PCP is now illegal. PCP sold on the street is made illegally in labs. |
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.
Drug Overdose
A drug overdose occurs when you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate. Drug users are constantly flirting with the risk of a drug overdose. There is a
fine line between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long term effects, there
can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
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".
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.
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.
