Facts
Numerous research studies have found that brief intervention helps reduce the amount of alcohol that the person consumes, it diminishes the use of health care services, and it cuts down on alcohol-related problems that were experienced by the "problem drinker. The daily use of 1 to 3 marijuana joints can produce the same lung damage and potential cancer risk as smoking five times as many cigarettes. Be aware. Chemicals like amyl nitrate and isobutyl nitrate ("poppers"), and nitrous oxide ("whippets") are often sold at concerts and dance clubs. They can permanently damage your body and brain. Know the risks. Chronic inhalant abusers may permanently lose the ability to perform everyday functions like walking, talking, and thinking. Look around you. The vast majority of teens aren't using inhalants. According to a 1998 study, only 1.1 percent of teens are regular inhalant users and 94 percent of teens have never even tried inhalants. Electronic monitoring allows a drunk driving offender who is sentenced to jail time to serve the time at home instead of in prison. Generally speaking, the offender is allowed to go to school or work as long as curfew is obeyed. The individual is also permitted to go to Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings, court appearances, court-ordered education classes, and any other places required as part of probation. The time spent wearing an electronic monitoring device is usually equal to the length of the jail sentence, but in some cases, it could be longer. One exception to this rule is in states where a minimum of 24 hours in jail is required for a DUI conviction. The offender may receive 15 days of electronic monitoring to replace the minimum jail sentence if time in prison poses a serious risk to the person's physical or mental state. There is an additional electronic monitoring device that is sometimes used in drunk driving cases. It is called SCRAM, or Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor. This device is used to monitor offenders whose probation requires that they remain alcohol-free. It is worn on the ankle or wrist and detects alcohol excretion from the skin by sampling the user's sweat and measuring his or her blood alcohol content level. This device is a fairly new method, but it has already monitored over 20,000 offenders. |
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is defined as the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for other than medically warranted purposes. Drug abuse is a problem which has an effect on people of all income levels,
ages, and stations in life. Quite often the last person to see that there is a
problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".
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.
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.
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.
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).
