Facts
Benzodiazepines act on the central nervous system by slowing it down, thereby causing sedation and muscle relaxation. Immediate physiologic effects include depressed heartbeat and breathing, and physical unsteadiness. Side effects include skin rashes, nausea, and dizziness. Regular use of any benzodiazepine can lead to physical and psychological dependence in as little as four to six weeks. Cravings for the drug, increased tolerance and the need for higher and higher doses, and withdrawal symptoms are all signs of dependence on the benzodiazepines. When stopped abruptly, individuals who are dependent on these agents can experience serious withdrawal symptoms and even seizures. Symptoms of withdrawal include anxiety, headache, dizziness, shakiness, loss of appetite, insomnia, and sometimes, fever, seizures, and even psychosis. People who are long-term addicts of the benzodiazepines may need to be hospitalized for withdrawal. Popular street names for heroin include black tar, skag, horse, smack, chiva, gear, Evil, "H", "Boy", and others. Federal research shows that the ONDCP's anti-drug media campaign is ineffective. According to NIDA's 1998 Household Survey, "exposure to prevention messages outside school, such as through the media, was fairly widespread but appeared to be unrelated to illicit drug use or being drunk". NIDA goes on to report, "Nearly 80% of youths who used illicit drugs and more than three-fourths of youths who were drunk on 51 or more days in the past year reported being exposed to prevention messages outside school. Although most cocaine in the US is snorted, smoking crack cocaine has become widely publicized. The hydrochloride salt is converted to a more volatile form, usually by adding NaHCO3, water, and heat. The converted material is combusted and the resultant smoke inhaled. Onset of effect is quicker, and intensity of the high is magnified. Crack use has not expanded to the suburbs or to the urban middle class: Low-income Americans continue to be the primary users. |

ages, and stations in life. Quite often the last person to see that there is a
problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".

An addict is an individual who has a compulsive urge to use drugs, to the point where they feel they have no effective choice but to continue use. An addict will continue their self destructive behaviors in order to feel good or to avoid

different for each addict, depending on their vice and the kind of person they
are.

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.
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.
