Facts
Drug abuse treatment. Since the late 1980s, research has shown that treating drug abuse is an effective way to prevent the spread of HIV. Drug abusers in treatment stop or reduce their drug use and related risk behaviors, including drug injection and unsafe sexual practices. Drug treatment programs also serve an important role in disseminating current information on HIV/AIDS and related diseases, providing counseling and testing services, and offering referrals for medical and social services. The estimated U.S. cocaine market exceeded $70 billion in street value for the year 2005, exceeding revenues by corporations such as Starbucks. The abbreviation PCP comes from the drug's chemical name l-(l-phenylcyclohexyl)-piperidine). The essential precursor chemical for heroin conversion is acetic anhydride. Acetic anhydride is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent, odor similar to vinegar. It is used in the manufacture of cellulose acetate as a base for magnetic tape, and in the manufacture of textile fibers. When heated with salicylic acid it produces acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), and is used in the manufacture of pigments, dyes, cellulose, and pesticides. Given that there is no legitimate use for acetic anhydride in Afghanistan, large quantities of the chemical must be smuggled into the country, possibly ranging from 645 metric tons to 697 metric tons. |
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.
