Facts
The lack of quality prenatal care is associated with undesirable effects often attributed to cocaine exposure: prematurity, low birth weight, and fetal or infant death. As a parent, you can’t expect outside forces to resolve this problem. You have to take action. So what should you do? Start by cleaning out your medicine cabinet and keeping an eye on how much medicine is in each bottle or package. Keep prescription and OTC medicines such as cough medicine away from your children’s reach and sight. Some parents decide to lock up their medicine cabinets like they do their liquor cabinets. But the most important thing is to talk with your kids. Although it’s disturbing to know that 10% of teens have abused DXM, but keep in mind that 90% of teens haven’t. By talking about the risks of DXM abuse with your teens, you can help them stay in that healthy majority. Long term treatment generally lasts anywhere from 3 to 12 months and is focused on the "resocialization" of the individual. Long term treatment uses the program's entire "community," including other residents, staff, and the social context, as active components of treatment. Long term treatment focuses on developing personal accountability and responsibility and socially productive lives. Long term treatment is highly structured with activities designed to help residents examine damaging beliefs, self-concepts, and patterns of behavior and to adopt new, more harmonious and constructive ways to interact with others. Hallucinogens make the user see, hear, or otherwise experience things that aren't there. The drugs that bring about this state include lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD or acid), mescaline and peyote, phencyclidine (commonly known as PCP or angel dust), and psilocybin, a type of mushroom. Hallucinogenic drugs are found in the form of thin gelatin squares, tablets, capsules, or liquid, and are often added to the backs of stamps or blotter paper to make acid tabs that the user licks, chews, or swallows. In the case of mushrooms, the user can sprinkle chopped up pieces onto food or boil them and drink the water. The effects of hallucinogens include disorientation and altered perceptions of time, space, and of the color, detail, and size of objects. Users may also experience imaginary conversations, or distortions in sound, odors, or taste. Hallucinogens can produce erratic, unpredictable, and sometimes violent behavior, and a "bad trip" can occur when the user experiences frightening delusions, paranoia, and panic. The effects could last as long as twelve hours and the user could have a flashback (unexpected and unwanted recurrences of hallucinogenic effects) even years later. Experts say that the mind-scrambling effects of LSD are so strong that even well-adjusted teens can become violent or suicidal under its influences. With the renewed interest in the culture of the sixties, LSD use is at its highest level in ten years. According to the HHS the use of LSD and other hallucinogens among teenagers rose 183 percent between 1992 and 1995, and 54 percent in 1995 alone. Nearly seven percent of high school seniors reported using LSD, the highest level since 1975. LSD is a good example of generational forgetting. Today's young people were not around to witness the devastating effects of LSD—the bad trips, flashbacks, accidents, and so on." Reader's Digest reports that "part of the reason for acid's new infiltration is public relations. Cocaine and crack caused so much visible destruction in the '80s that the two eclipsed the news on acid. LSD was dropped from the standard highschool- counselor speech, and the government eased off. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
