Facts
Relapse is when you start using your drug of choice again or decide to use to another substance. There are signs to recognize ways to deal with stress and plans you can make to lessen your chance of relapse. This is Relapse Prevention. Even after years of sobriety, if you quit working on issues and let life control you, there is a greater chance of relapse. Thoughts like, "I can handle it now," "everything is fine," not needing a spiritual guide or hanging around people who use are all subtle paths leading to relapse. Addiction rehabilitation is a lifetime issue and you must keep moving forward while putting the past behind you. Even people that are not addicted to a substance often let life and others control them. When life controls you chaos and powerlessness often follow. It is a well known fact that pregnancy and Drug Abuse are not a winning combination. When a woman becomes pregnant, it is vital to her babies health that she lead a healthy life. This includes eating plenty of nourishing food, getting plenty of rest, and exercising regularly. For a pregnant woman, Drug Abuse is doubly dangerous. First, drugs may harm her own health which interferes with her ability to support the pregnancy. Second, some drugs can directly impair prenatal development. During pregnancy, virtually all illegal drugs pose a danger. Even legal substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, and prescription medications are dangerous to expecting women. Juvenile and Family Drug Courts: The overall success of adult drug court programs has encouraged development of other programs such as juvenile drug courts and family courts. Juvenile and family drug courts began in 1995. Since then, approximately 12,500 juveniles have enrolled in juvenile drug courts, with 82 percent of participants being male. Adolescents involved in juvenile drug court programs have extensive histories of drug use, often beginning between the ages of 10 and 14. Drugs of choice include crack cocaine, heroin, methampethamines, and poisonous inhalants. Working with juveniles requires different strategies from those used in adult drug courts. For example, juvenile drug courts focus on the family of the drug offender. They work more closely with community agencies to keep the young offender off drugs. Also, juvenile drug courts offer closer judicial supervision of young offenders than the supervision typically available by traditional courts. The goals of juvenile drug courts include helping adolescents become drug-free, reducing rates of repeat criminal activity, improving school performance, and helping the young offender form a productive and healthy relationship with members of his or her community. In 43 states, there are laws prohibiting passengers, drivers, or both from having an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. Also, 45 states exercise the right to install an ignition lock in the cars of drivers who violate drunk driving laws. An ignition lock is a machine that is connected to a car's ignition and checks the driver's blood alcohol content level. The driver has to blow into the machine to start the car and do so from time to time while the car is running. If alcohol is detected, the car either does not start or turns itself off. |
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.
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.
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.
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
Addiction is one of the many consequences of so-called 'casual' drug and alcohol abuse. A loss of control over drugs and alcohol can be driven by physical or psychological factors, or sometimes both. Physical addiction takes place when the body comes to need a drug to function normally. If it is not taken, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms occur. The only way to avoid this is to take more of the drug. Psychological addiction takes place when an individual comes to rely on a drug to supply good feelings, such as relaxation, self-confidence, self esteem, and freedom from anxiety. This is not just a casual desire, it's a powerful compulsion.
