Facts
Amphetamines is the name given to a group of synthetic stimulants which are chemically similar to adrenaline, the hormone used for 'fight or flight' emergencies. Over 15,000 people die annually in alcohol-related traffic incidents. Tolerance refers to a state in which the drug user becomes less sensitive to the drug's effects over time. The user must take larger amounts of the drug to produce the desired effect. Tolerance comes about because of physiological changes in the nervous system, but it is also strongly influenced by learning. This means that the user has learned to perform certain tasks while under the influence of the drug. For example, a drug that when first used makes the user sleepy will no longer have that effect after the drug has been used for a while. The individual is said to tolerate the drug because certain normal activities, such as household chores or work-related activities, can be performed even while the individual is under the influence of the drug. Furthermore, tolerance to some effects of a drug does not mean tolerance to all effects of a drug. As a user increases the dose to continue to achieve what he or she perceives as the original pleasurable effects of the drug, the chance for other dangerous side effects may also be increased at the higher dose. The least severe type of relapse is a "slip," a common occurrence that involves a very brief resumption of drug use associated with no signs or symptoms of drug dependence. Such an episode can serve to strengthen the patient's recovery if used to identify areas of weakness and point out solutions and alternative behaviors that can help prevent future drug use from occurring. |
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.
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.
Addiction
Addiction is one of the many consequences of so-called 'casual' drug and alcohol abuse. A loss of control over drugs and alcohol can be driven by physical or psychological factors, or sometimes both. Physical addiction takes place when the body comes to need a drug to function normally. If it is not taken, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms occur. The only way to avoid this is to take more of the drug. Psychological addiction takes place when an individual comes to rely on a drug to supply good feelings, such as relaxation, self-confidence, self esteem, and freedom from anxiety. This is not just a casual desire, it's a powerful compulsion.
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".
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.
