Facts
Butane is a compressed and odorless gas, is sold in canisters about the size of hair spray or spray-paint cans. This dangerous chemical is used for refueling cigarette lighters. Inhaling butane often cause a brief high, followed by a blackout. Most people who sniff butane become unaware of their surroundings, and butane causes many automobile crashes and deaths. Barbiturates, including phenobarbital (Nembutal) and mephobarbital (Mebaral), are also CNS depressants. They are commonly prescribed to treat insomnia, tension, and anxiety. Taking CNS depressants for a few days to a few weeks may help you feel calm and sleepy. After a while, however, you will need larger doses to get the same calm and sleepy feeling. In addition, using CNS depressants with alcohol can slow down your heart and respiration and lead to death. After taking CNS depressants for a long period of time, stopping suddenly can have life-threatening consequences such as seizures. MDMA, often called "Ecstasy," is a drug that creates a sensation of closeness, but which at high levels of ingestion can become toxic -- sometimes causing death. Use of Ecstasy is on the rise, especially among students in grades eight through 12. Ecstasy or MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a stimulant drug that has both the effects of methamphetamine ("speed") and mescaline (a hallucinogenic drug found in certain mushrooms). MDMA is often described as a designer drug that has a similar chemical structure to methamphetamine. MDMA is illegal, and classified as a Schedule I Controlled Substance. Known on the street as Adam, XTC, Clarity, Lovers Speed, Eve, and X, Ecstasy is typically packaged in tablet, capsule, or powder form and is taken orally. Often the drug is made to look like a prescription drug in capsule or tablet form. Ecstasy tablets are often imprinted with logos to make them more appealing to the user. The typical street price is anywhere from $20 to more than $30 per pill. The term "drug paraphernalia" refers to any equipment that is used to produce, conceal and consume illicit drugs. This includes, but is not limited to bongs, roach clips, miniature spoons, straws, needles and various types of pipes. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
