Facts
As reported in 2007 drug abuse statistics, 3% of the total population aged 12 or older, or 7.5 million residents of the U.S. need treatment. Of these 1.3 received treatment at a specialty center. Conversely, according to 2007 drug abuse statistics, 6.2 million residents who needed specialty treatment did not receive treatment. Drug abuse statistics do not reflect treatment provided at emergency rooms. In 1988, 25,000 Americans were killed in auto accidents involving alcohol. More than 500,000 were injured. A drug causes dependence if it produces some effect that makes the user want to use the drug again and thus try to get more of it. Such a drug sets off a chemical action in the brain that alters the user's thinking, feelings, and activities in a way that is usually (but not always) experienced as pleasurable or rewarding. The user wants to have that experience again, so the act of taking the drug is reinforced. Thus the drug is called a reinforcer. A drug must have a reinforcing effect if it is to become addictive, but it is important to recognize that reinforcement is not the same as addiction. Reinforcement is an essential mechanism for survival, learning, and adaptation. Drinking water because we are thirsty, eating food because we are hungry, and escaping so as to avoid harm are all types of reinforcement by natural and necessary behaviors. Addictive drugs, although they produce a reinforcing effect, serve no necessary biological function. Cannabis comes in two main forms: marijuana (also known as grass), the dried leaves and female flower heads; and hashish, compressed blocks of resin extracted from the plant. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
