Facts
As you begin to understand, breaking the family role should become easier. Remember to be understanding of others also. The more often heroin is used, the less able the user is to cope with such situations without the drug. One recovering heroin addict states: [The addict] finds that certain events are not merely better on the drug but cannot be faced without it: a visit to the bank manager, a job interview, a meal with his parents. Each time he surrenders to the temptation, this feeling increases so that the next time it is harder to resist. Even his increasingly brief glimpses of the trap into which he is walking serve, perversely, not to strengthen his resolve but to weaken it: he wants the escapism of heroin to forget what he is doing. Additional evidence of psychological addiction lies in the overwhelming depression that accompanies the physical discomfort of withdrawal, as well as in the acute anxiety that stems from the knowledge that heroin, the cure for the sickness, is available, if only some way can be found to obtain it. Obtaining the drug becomes the overriding ambition of the addict's life, and no amount of effort toward this end seems irrational or excessive. Steven Tyler, lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith, recalls the days before he and his bandmates went into recovery for heroin addiction: "We used to spend all day to cop [obtain the drug] and if we got it by the end of the night, we were happy. All of the energy we put out all day long and all of the misery and lies, all of the grief that we put up with to cop those drugs was an insane, intense vim and vigor." When oxycodone painkillers are abused, their effects are similar to the heroin high. This is because each extended-release dose of oxycodone contains a large amount of the drug. It is designed to be taken slowly, not to flood the body all at once. When crushed and eaten, snorted, or injected, a high dose of oxycodone floods the body and causes a rush of euphoria. The drug literally overwhelms all of the brain's receptors that search for ENDORPHINS (natural pleasure-enhancing molecules) and ENKEPHALINS (molecules that act to relieve pain and to produce drowsiness). The user feels free of pain, anxiety, and unhappiness. After a few minutes of this intense euphoria, the user settles into a longer period of general pleasurable drowsiness and a dreamlike state. A mild allergic reaction may cause the skin to itch or to break out in a rash. Gradually, as the drug exits the brain, the heightened pleasure is replaced by a sensation of uneaseāa return to "normal" that may send the user in search of another dose of the drug. The second possibility for methadone ER visits involves multi-drug use. Numerous drug deaths have occurred when people combine methadone with other painkillers, opiates, cocaine, tranquilizers, or alcohol. The presence of other substances increases the likelihood that methadone will cause COMA, breathing difficulties, and even death. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, drug enforcement agents have seized greater quantities of methadone that have been diverted or put into illegal use. Concern over this diversion has led to high-level government meetings and studies on how to keep this powerful pain reliever with many useful qualities out of the wrong hands. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatment
Addiction treatment is needed when an individual finds that they have developed a drug or alcohol addiction which they are not able to successful end on their own. With the help of addiction treatment, addicted individual can get help to control their drug taking behavior and live happy and successful lives. There are several addiction treatment options available for drug and alcohol addiction. Some of these options include self-help groups, counseling, drug rehabilitation programs (in and out-patient), and residential treatment facilities. Each of these differ
in their aims and outcomes and elements of these addiction treatment options are often
combined.
