Facts
However, an electrical impulse cannot travel directly from one nerve cell to the next because there is a small gap, a synapse, located between cells. To get across the gap, the impulse must be ferried by special chemicals called neurotransmitters. So, when an electrical impulse reaches the end of a cell, it stimulates the release of neurotransmitters. These chemicals flow across the synapse, carrying the impulse and stimulating the next cell. In this way, the impulse moves along the chain of nerve cells. Illicitly obtained methadone is used by some individuals who have diminished or no tolerance to opioids and who may use excessive and/or repetitive doses in an attempt to achieve euphoric effects. Often people in early recovery rely on coping skills that were developed to protect their drug and alcohol abuse. This might include becoming isolated and pushing people away, becoming dishonest in cheating, or becoming self-centered in the extreme. In other cases coping skills are either undeveloped, or underutilized. Some examples of life skills that may need some work are the ability to communicate, basic social skills, knowing how to develop and maintain interpersonal or intimate relationships. Because laws differ from state to state, there is no consistent punishment for a DUI conviction. Instead, the sentence depends on whether or not the suspect pleaded guilty, BAC at the time of arrest, whether he or she is a first-time offender, if anyone was injured or property was damaged, additional charges, and if other drugs were also involved. For first time offenders, punishment can include some combination of a fine, jail time, tickets, probation, community service and a suspended driver’s license. Repeat offenders are more likely to lose their license, go to jail, have ignition interlocks placed on their cars (we’ll explain those below) and be ordered to attend alcohol counseling. In some states, drunk drivers who are under 21 will have their drivers licenses automatically suspended for six months to a year. If you are convicted of DUI, it may be on your criminal record for your entire life. Offenses also go on your driving record, which potential employers and insurers can access. Some states keep computerized records, but others still keep them on paper, so if your job requires lots of driving, it’s probably a good idea to check your own record to make sure it doesn’t contain any errors. Ninety percent of auto insurance companies automatically cancel policies for someone convicted of DUI, and many insurance companies won’t cover damages for a drunk driver involved in an accident. |
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.
Dependence
Dependence is the compulsive use of a substance despite negative consequences which can be severe; drug dependence is simply excessive use of a drug or use of a drug for purposes for which it was not medically intended. Physical dependence on a substance (needing a drug to function) is not necessary or sufficient to define addiction. There are some substances that don't cause addiction but do cause physical dependence (for example, some blood pressure medications) and substances that cause addiction but not classic physical dependence (cocaine withdrawal, for example, it does not have symptoms like vomiting and chills; it is mainly characterized by depression).
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.
Intervention
An intervention is when a group of loved ones and/or a trained intervention counselor meets with the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down their denial and motivating them to immediately seek drug addiction treatment. Often, individuals in the midst of drug addiction engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help. When an intervention is held a moment of clarity is created
for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
Alcoholism
Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence," is a condition that includes craving and continued alcohol abuse despite repeated drinking-related problems, such as losing a job or getting into trouble with the law. It includes four major areas: Craving: - A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. Impaired control: -The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. 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.
