Facts
In addition to a fourth time Drunk Driving Offender permanently losing his or her license, the individual also faces a minimum of 60 consecutive days in jail and a maximum of one year. The fines for this offense can range from $750 to $10,000. The offender also runs into other costs, such as paying for drug or alcohol treatment. The same rules apply to drivers who are convicted of murder with a motor vehicle, regardless of their driving or criminal records. Residential treatment centers: If the teenager's drug problem has escalated to the third or fourth stage experts usually insist the individual be placed in a well-supervised recovery facility. Teenagers who reach this degree of drug dependence may be out of control and dangerous to themselves and others. They may not willingly agree to be placed in an inpatient treatment program but in most states parents can legally commit their children to such programs. These residential programs can last anywhere from two weeks to a year, depending on the individual's needs. Some treatments begin with an intense detoxification process where the body is physically cleansed of the drugs in the system over a period of a few days. Most doctors believe that it is best for teenagers to detoxify their bodies naturally with regular healthy eating, exercise, sleep, and large doses of vitamins. This may rid the body of its physical addiction to the drug, but the psychological addiction may still remain and additional therapy will be needed. Less social disapproval of drugs: Children are less likely to believe that “people on drugs act stupid” (71 percent in 1995 to 65 percent in 1996); children are significantly less likely to say that they “don’t want to hang around people who use drugs” (81 percent in 1993 to 75 percent in 1996). Non-prescription cough medicines with codeine are Schedule V drugs, which have a low potential for abuse compared to Schedule IV drugs, an accepted medical use in the United States, and the likelihood of limited physical or psychological dependence if abused. Federal trafficking penalties for a first offense of a Schedule V substance is not more than one year and fines of up to $100,000 for individuals and $250,000 for organizations. A second offense carries a maximum of 30 years to life if a death is involved and fines up to two and 10 million dollars. |
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers intensive drug addiction help over a period of weeks or months. This form of treatment has some advantages over out-patient treatment, although it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, those who are responsible for caring for young children may be better suited to attendance at an out patient treatment program. Residential treatment offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment where individuals can confront their own drug addiction and associated issues, with the help of qualified staff. Therapy usually consists of a mixture of group counseling, individual counseling and an introduction to the principles of a drug recovery program.
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.
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.
Relapse
Relapse is a term used to describe when an individual who has quit using drugs starts using once again. A relapse can mean just a one time use, a long term continues period of using or anything in between after a period of sobriety has taken place. An individual begins to experience a psychological relapse long before their first use after
quitting. Some things that can lead to relapse both physically or psychologically include: 1. Being in the presence of drugs or alcohol, drug or alcohol users, or places where you used or bought chemicals. 2. Feelings we perceive as negative, particularly anger; also sadness, loneliness, guilt, fear, and anxiety. 3. Positive feelings that make you want to celebrate by using. 4. Listening to others past drug use stories and just dwelling on getting high. 5. Believing that you no longer have to worry (complacent). That is, that you are no longer stimulated to crave drugs/alcohol by any of the above situations or by anything else – and therefore maybe it’s safe for you to use occasionally.
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.
