Facts
One reason that heroin addicts suffer from so many illnesses is that they, like other intravenous drug addicts, share hypodermic needles, thereby spreading infectious diseases. Shared needles transmit disease so easily that an estimated 90 percent of all intravenous drug users in the United States have some type of infectious disease. In 1996 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that the sharing of drug needles accounted for "about one-third of all new cases of AIDS in the U.S. each year."A high percentage of addicts who develop AIDS also contract tuberculosis, an infectious disease that can attack lung tissue, lymph glands, or other parts of the body. Other potentially fatal diseases widely transmitted by the sharing of needles include the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the hepatitis C virus (HCV), both of which cause serious damage to the liver. "Of those addicts who . . . inject their drugs intravenously with a needle," explains James W. West of the Betty Ford Center, a treatment facility for drug addiction founded by the former First Lady, about 80 percent have hepatitis B and at least 50 percent also contract hepatitis C. There is a virtual epidemic of this viral liver infection among IV drug users. . . . Some who become infected progress to full-blown chronic active hepatitis with eventual cirrhosis, while others develop a chronic carrier state that makes one prone to cancer of the liver. Most, however, will recover from the condition if they stop re-infecting themselves with dirty needles. Additionally, all sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea, syphilis, and herpes, can be contracted through the sharing of needles. The high incidence of prostitution among the addict community contributes even further to this high infection rate among intravenous drug users. North America, most notably the United States, faces a two-pronged threat from methamphetamine. According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), 65% of the methamphetamine available in the U.S. is produced in Mexico; the balance is produced in clandestine laboratories in the U.S. Although the number of large-scale laboratories seized in the U.S. has declined in recent years , the number of small improvised laboratories has increased. According to data from the National Clandestine Laboratory Seizure System , there were more than 10,000 clandestine laboratories seized in the U.S. in 2003. The number of methamphetamine laboratories seized in Canada was far smaller. Canadian authorities have recently addressed the country’s methamphetamine problem by tightening precursor chemical controls and raising the penalties for methamphetamine trafficking. Although MDMA trafficking and abuse in both countries appear to be declin ing, the drug is still readily available. Like marijuana, cocaine has shown a pattern of closely corresponding trends between perceived risk and actual use among 12th graders. First, the percentage who perceived great risk in trying cocaine once or twice dropped steadily from 43% to 31% between 1975 and 1980, corresponding to a period of rapidly increasing use. Although abuse of prescription painkillers is nothing new, OxyContin distinguishes itself by being more powerful than other prescription painkillers. OxyContin contains between 10 and 160 mg of oxycodone, whereas other oxycodone-containing drugs such as Tylox contain only 5 mg. The higher dose of oxycodone makes OxyContin attractive to abusers who crush the pills and either snort or inject the oxycodone for a powerful high. This controversy has created difficulties for patients who rely on OxyContin for pain relief and for the doctors who prescribe it. |
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.
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.
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.
Relapse
Relapse is a term used to describe when an individual who has quit using drugs starts using once again. A relapse can mean just a one time use, a long term continues period of using or anything in between after a period of sobriety has taken place. An individual begins to experience a psychological relapse long before their first use after
quitting. Some things that can lead to relapse both physically or psychologically include: 1. Being in the presence of drugs or alcohol, drug or alcohol users, or places where you used or bought chemicals. 2. Feelings we perceive as negative, particularly anger; also sadness, loneliness, guilt, fear, and anxiety. 3. Positive feelings that make you want to celebrate by using. 4. Listening to others past drug use stories and just dwelling on getting high. 5. Believing that you no longer have to worry (complacent). That is, that you are no longer stimulated to crave drugs/alcohol by any of the above situations or by anything else – and therefore maybe it’s safe for you to use occasionally.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work). Drug addiction encompasses a diverse range of drugs (such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, and cocaine) and is caused by many different factors.
