Facts
The prevalence of marijuana abuse or dependence climbed from 1.2% of adults in 1991-92 to 1.5% in 2001-02, or an estimated 3 million adults 18 and over. That represents an increase of 800,000 people, according to data from two nationally representative surveys that each queried more than 40,000 adults. Among 18- to 29-year-olds, the rate or abuse or dependence remained stable among whites but surged by about 220% among black men and women, to 4.5% of that population, and by almost 150% among Hispanic men, to 4.7%. Among all adults ages 45 to 64, the rate increased by 355%, to about 0.4% of that population.
Codependence can be a serious problem for children. In all families, children must balance two competing childhood needs: (1) Children need to be unconditionally loved by their parents and to feel that they are at the center of things and (2) children also have the opposite need to rely completely on powerful and good parents; or in other words, to have others be at the center of things. Parents who have problems with alcohol or drug addiction are often unable to put their children at the center of family attention. They cannot tolerate not being the center of relationships, even at the expense of their children's needs. Children then sacrifice their own need for attention, allowing the parent to remain at the center. In this way children can become codependent. Professionals who work in the field of addiction agree that huge numbers of people have found help for their problems through the concept of codependence. By understanding the concept, they can learn how to cope with their own problems and stop blaming themselves for the problems and failures of a loved one. GHB and Rohypnol are inexpensive, which has made them increasingly popular at raves and with younger users. Heroin, LSD, crystal methamphetamine (ice), tranquilizers, and PCP were reported as readily available by smaller but still substantial minorities of 12th graders in 2007 (30%, 29%, 25%, 24%, and 21%, respectively). |
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 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.
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.
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.
