Facts
Schoolwork and academics can be greatly influenced by drug use. Teenagers who use drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, are sometimes more likely to do poorly in school. They may skip classes. Their grades can drop as their drug use rises. Drug users also tend to have a greater risk of dropping out of school before they get their high- school diploma. Drug use becomes more important than their grades and class work. If you think someone is using drugs, the best thing to do is to tell an adult that you trust. This could be a parent, other relative, teacher, coach, or school counselor. The person might need professional help to stop using drugs. A grown-up can help the person find the treatment he or she needs to stop using drugs. Another way kids can help kids is by choosing not to try or use drugs. It's a good way for friends to stick together. The MTF survey, launched in 1975, measures drug, alcohol, and cigarette abuse and attitudes about use among 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders nationwide. Funded by NIDA, the survey has been conducted annually since its inception by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. Now in its 30th year, MTF questions and analyses have changed with informational needs—for example, expanding the list of drugs, analyzing data for all three grades combined, tracking students' attitudes toward drug abuse, and examining the impact of antidrug advertising. Until relatively recently, researchers had little data on usage trends of ecstasy because it was not included in national surveys of drug use. The most comprehensive and up-to-date information on usage trends among young people in the United States comes from just a few sources, including The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse and the Monitoring the Future surveys. The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse is an annual survey conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that estimates the incidence and prevalence of drug use in the general population ages 12 and over. In 2000, nearly 3% of the population ages 12 and over reported at least one lifetime use of ecstasy, showing a substantial increase from 1999 and years prior. The majority of users were in younger age groups, with 9.7% of young adults aged 18–25 reporting at least one lifetime use of ecstasy, an increase of more than 2% from the previous year. |
Abstinence
Abstinence is the act or practice of refraining from indulging a desire. The type of abstinence we are referring to here is abstinence from drugs and alcohol. This term has two connotations when it comes to abstaining from drugs. The first refers to drug or alcohol treatment programs that aim to help an individual stop using drugs or alcohol for the rest of their lives. The time abstinence is also used in drug education and prevention. It refers to trying to stop children from ever using drugs.
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.
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 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.
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.
