Facts
Cannabis dependent users have been shown to have a significantly increased likelihood of reporting a wide range of respiratory symptoms and exhibiting decreased lung functioning. In a nationally representative sample of 6728 adults, cannabis use was associated with a number of problems including bronchitis, coughing, phlegm production, and wheezing, even after controlling for age, tobacco use, and asthma. Given that only 16 percent of the sample used cannabis on a daily basis, it is likely that the range of respiratory problems is even greater in a cannabis dependent population. What makes ecstasy unique? First, no drug has ever been characterized in quite the same way as ecstasy. Individuals almost universally describe its effects as "euphoric" "blissful," and "love inducing." The drug experience appears to be greater for women, and the ecstasy experience can be amplified by such factors as room temperature, overcrowding, and dancing? These qualities make ecstasy distinct from other substances sold on either licit or illicit markets. The positive effects, coupled with its wide availability, seem to ensure ecstasy's continued use by young people. It is also readily taken in combination with other medications, such as fluoxetine (Prozac[TM]), sildenafil (Viagra[TM]), herbal and caffeinated "energy" beverages (Red Bull[TM]), and alcohol, which may further enhance or change its effect. Social Factors. Drug use can affect all types of people. No one re- ally is immune. It sometimes is said that people of color are more likely to become drug users, but studies show that this statement is not generally true. It sometimes is said that drug use is more common in cities than in rural areas. This statement may be true for drugs like cocaine and heroin, but it is not true for drugs like tobacco and alcohol. In the United States, tobacco smoking by teenagers is most common in states with large rural populations, such as North and South Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Montana. While many doctors and patients consider OxyContin a wonder drug, it has become a controversial and highly abused substance in many parts of the United States that previously had experienced little or no drug problems. Some have gone so far as to call it "pharmaceutical heroin." Within just a few years of its introduction, OxyContin became the source of many news stories as a large number of people, from celebrities to housewives, developed an OxyContin habit. Physicians and health care providers in some affected areas found themselves unprepared for the speed with which an epidemic of OxyContin abuse developed in their communities. The problem is so bad that pharmacies in some areas have chosen not to even stock the drug anymore for safety reasons, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) created a special national strategy for dealing with the OxyContin problem. |
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.
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 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.
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.
Alcoholism
Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence," is a condition that includes craving and continued alcohol abuse despite repeated drinking-related problems, such as losing a job or getting into trouble with the law. It includes four major areas: Craving: - A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. Impaired control: -The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. Physical dependence: -Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. Tolerance: - The need for increasing amounts of alcohol in order to feel its effects.
