Facts
Large doses of heroin can cause fatal respiratory depression, and the drug has been used for suicide or as a murder weapon. The first time fifteen-year-old Paige tried cocaine was in the bathroom at her public high school. "These girls had set up lines on the counter space right under the mirror. No teacher would ever come into the student bathrooms so no one worried that we'd get caught." According to a study by the U.S. Department of Justice, 70 percent of public school students think drugs are easy to get at school. Fifty-two percent of private school students surveyed believed drugs were available in their schools. Justin, a fifteen-year-old private school student, said that if you get the word out in homeroom that you're looking for a specific drug, by lunchtime you can get it delivered to your table. Adult or college-age dealers often set up student networks to extend their drug territory into the high schools and middle schools. One thirty-year-old dealer bragged that he bought a new BMW with suburban Chicago high school students' lunch money. Jennifer, seventeen, says marijuana use during the school day is common. "There are people who smoke a joint in a car outside school, and when they come in, you can just smell it on them. There are a lot of people doing it." Drugs are passed unseen between students in the crowded hallways, slipped into lockers, exchanged in the cafeteria during lunch, in the locker rooms in gym class, in cars in the parking lot, behind the bleachers, and in the bathrooms. Many teenage drug dealers carry beepers so they can be reached at any time. Several schools across the country have now banned beepers, claiming they are being used to facilitate the drug trade. According to the statistics, there are a lot more drugs in the schools than there are students who are caught using or selling them, due both to the administration's ignorance and to students' loyalties to each other. Identifying characteristics of women who engage in binge drinking is a key step in prevention and intervention efforts. Binge drinking programs should consider comprehensive approaches that address women's mental health symptoms as well as circumstances in the childhood home. The next to most severe type of relapse is when the patient resumes drug use for several days, and the use is associated with some of the signs and symptoms of Drug Addiction. In such a case, the counselor probably would want to intensify treatment temporarily, which can be effective. We have found that intensified contact will usually reinstitute abstinence. The patient should be encouraged to review what happened and learn from the experience how to avoid a relapse in the future. The patient also should be encouraged to recommit to his or her recovery program. |
Addict
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
feeling bad. It can dominate their mind, and keep them coming back for more. The addiction can be
different for each addict, depending on their vice and the kind of person they
are.
Therapeutic Community
An effective therapeutic community attends to the many needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Care given at a therapeutic community addresses the individual's drug use and associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal problems. Also, a therapeutic community will continue to be flexible and provide ongoing assessments of the individual's needs, which may change during the course of care.
Remaining in care at a therapeutic community for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness. The time depends on an individual's needs. For most people, the significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment.
Detox
Detox is necessary when an individual through their chronic use of drugs or alcohol has developed an addiction. The objective of detox is to help the individual achieve a drug and alcohol free state. Detox is intended to relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and helps prepare the individual for entry into drug rehabilitation. Therefore, the ultimate goal of detox is preparation for long term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
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.
