Facts
Taken by mouth in pill, biscuit, or liquid form, methadone passes into the digestive system and from there is broken down in the liver. The liver releases the drug into the bloodstream, and it is carried to the brain and spinal cord, where it attaches to opiate receptors. When no drugs are in the brain, opiate receptors take in ENDORPHINS and ENKEPHALINS, two brain chemicals that regulate feelings of well-being, overall motor coordination, breathing and coughing, and moods. Opiates replace these natural chemicals quickly and in such quantity that the user experiences a rush of pleasurable sensations and a calm drowsiness for hours afterward. This is the "high" that opiate users seek. The most serious health effect of heroin use is the possibility of death due to accidental heroin overdose. Methamphetamine recipes are easy to obtain from “cooks” [30] and other resources, including the Internet. There are many non-essential chemicals that can be used interchangeably to produce methamphetamine. These include acids, bases and solvents. These are all dangerous chemicals unless handled in a proper fashion. Finished products may have different colours and textures due to the differences in the methods by which methamphetamine can be produced. The euphoria and "hyper" feelings experienced after using cocaine generally dissipate in about 20 or 30 minutes and are replaced by anxiety and a desire to use the drug again. |
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 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.
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).
Withdrawal
Withdrawal is what happens when a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol discontinues use. There are numerous symptoms that take place both physically and emotionally when an addicted individual stops using. Withdrawal can last a few days to a few weeks and may include nausea or vomiting, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety. Keep in mind; this only occurs if a person has regular, heavy use of a drug or alcohol. Withdrawal can be extremely uncomfortable without professional help. Treatment for withdrawal from alcohol or drugs may require a medical professional to be present. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation is often the best way to overcome withdrawal and its symptoms as well as recovery from drug addiction.
