Facts
Some teenagers choose to get more and more involved with drugs as a way to kill themselves by slowly destroying their bodies. Others use drugs to help them overcome the fear associated with more immediate forms of suicide. For instance, a teenage boy was brought to the hospital for injuries he received in an automobile crash, and the doctors, who smelled alcohol on his breath, assumed he was in a drunk driving accident. It turned out he had crashed into the wall on purpose and he had done it many times before in an attempt to kill himself. Researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse have formed a group called the Community Epidemiology Work Group (CEWG) to monitor drug abuse trends in 21 major cities in the United States. Investigators found that in 1999, the most recent year fully analyzed, heroin and morphine abuse is on the increase in 15 of these cities. Overall, emergency room visits associated with heroin use increased 51.4% in the 18-to 25-year-old category between 1997 and 1999. It is known that hydromorphone and oxycodone are commonly substituted for heroin and morphine by many drug abusers. A study in the April 5, 2000 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that hydromorphone use for medical indications increased by 19% from 1990 to 1996. This increase coincided with an decrease in the number of hydromorphone drug abuse mentions during this period. The decrease in hydromorphone drug abuse (15%) suggests a low risk of addiction associated with the medical use of hydromorphone in the treatment of severe pain. Because alcohol and health effects can involve many organs in the body, long-term alcohol abuse puts a person at risk for developing serious health conditions and illnesses. Additional long term negative alcohol and health effects on the body include bleeding in the esophagus, nerve damage, depression, insomnia, damage to the brain, and erectile dysfunction in men. In 1997, an estimated 1.5 million Americans (0.7 percent of those age 12 and older) were current cocaine users, according to the 1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). This number has not changed significantly since 1992, although it is a dramatic decrease from the 1985 peak of 5.7 million cocaine users(3 percent of the population). Based upon additional data sources that take into account users underrepresented in the NHSDA, the Office of National Drug Control Policy estimates the number of chronic cocaine users at 3.6 million. |
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.
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers intensive drug addiction help over a period of weeks or months. This form of treatment has some advantages over out-patient treatment, although it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, those who are responsible for caring for young children may be better suited to attendance at an out patient treatment program. Residential treatment offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment where individuals can confront their own drug addiction and associated issues, with the help of qualified staff. Therapy usually consists of a mixture of group counseling, individual counseling and an introduction to the principles of a drug recovery program.
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.
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.
