Facts
No agriculture based commodities industry in the world operates on the same price differentials as cocaine and heroin, while requiring relatively little in the way of expertise. Alcohol is the most widely used psychoactive drug in the United States and nearly 13.8 million Americans 18 years and older have problems with drinking. It is estimated that one- fourth of all persons admitted to general hospitals have alcohol problems or are undiagnosed alcoholics being treated for the consequences of their drinking. Heavy and chronic drinking can harm every organ and system in the body and it is the third leading cause of preventable mortality. Alcohol is involved in almost half of all homicides and serious assaults, sex-related crimes, robberies and domestic violence. Approximately 42 percent of adults have been exposed to alcoholism in the family and one in five children live in a home with an alcoholic parent. Most of the children present at methamphetamine laboratories are exposed to dangerous and toxic chemicals. Research has shown 35-45% of children removed from labs test positive for methamphetamine and 70% are under the age of four. Because younger children are more dependent on their caregivers and are most likely to be home during the day for the longest periods of time, they experience the greatest effects of methamphetamine exposure. A child welfare practitioner may be the first person to identify a possible methamphetamine laboratory. This situation is serious and requires additional knowledge and skill in order to ensure safety of oneself, children, and the families involved. The growing concern for families involved in using and manufacturing methamphetamine affects child welfare practice especially in regard to permanency planning and The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA). Methamphetamine abuse is highest among 20 to 29-year-old parents and use is rising among women. In one study, 60%; of mothers entering treatment with active involvement in child protective services reported metham- phetamine as their primary drug and women who abuse methamphetamine comprise the largest percentage of people who enter drug treatment mandated by the child welfare system. In addition, mothers involved in the child welfare system have also been found to have many more stressors than other women who abuse methamphetamine, including economic instability, more children, and severe unemployment. In every state, field sobriety tests and chemical tests are used in determining the presence and level of alcohol involved. A police officer is responsible, in all cases, for determining the statutory offense (DUI, DWI, OWI, etc.) based on his or her observations and the test results. |
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.
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.
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers intensive drug addiction help over a period of weeks or months. This form of treatment has some advantages over out-patient treatment, although it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, those who are responsible for caring for young children may be better suited to attendance at an out patient treatment program. Residential treatment offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment where individuals can confront their own drug addiction and associated issues, with the help of qualified staff. Therapy usually consists of a mixture of group counseling, individual counseling and an introduction to the principles of a drug 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.
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.
