Facts
Although drugs can sometimes make one feel good for a few minutes or hours, extensive research has shown that young people who abuse drugs or alcohol often suffer long-term, harmful consequences as a result. These harmful consequences are sometimes irreversible, and can negatively affect a person's health for the rest of her or his life. In some cases, even a single, one-time use of a drug (for example, ecstasy) can cause long-term—and perhaps permanent—damage to a young person's brain or other organs. Amp psychosis is a state of mind characterized by hyperactivity, feelings of paranoia and persecution, hallucinations and other unpleasant things. The exact mechanism is unknown. Speed, like alcohol, nicotine, and cocaine, works directly on the dopamine "reward" pathways in the brain, used for modulating pleasure and mood. A single large dose or - more commonly - consistent hard abuse can induce psychosis. The symptoms are very similar to schizophrenia but it is short-lived, measured in hours and days. Fetal Abuse is a social problem that has caused heated debate for the past two decades. Since 1985, many studies have been conducted on the effects of substances such as alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, heroine, and nicotine on the unborn child. This marked the beginning of fetal abuse's transformation from a social issue to a social problem. After these studies were conducted, the results found were very concerning to society. Negative effects were found in children born to mothers using the substances, effects that are permanent, including physical deformities and mental impairment. An example of the negative effects of substance abusing pregnant women can be seen in the phenomena of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and the related, less severe, Fetal Alcohol Effects. A woman puts her child at risk for developing many problems when she consumes alcohol during pregnancy. These problems include: low birth weight, irregularly small head size, clubfoot, facial deformities, mental retardation, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and problems with the liver, kidneys, heart, and joints. Date Rape Drugs - Both GHB and Rohypnol have a reputation as date rape drugs, as they are being used to sexually assault women and men. How it happens - the drugs are easily slipped into someone's drink (GHB is usually a liquid, and Rohypnol dissolves quickly), and the person becomes either very open to suggestion and physically weak, or passes out entirely, leaving them vulnerable to the person who spiked their drink. |
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.
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.
Tolerance
Tolerance to a drug takes place when an individual is exposed to the same drug repeatedly and begins to build up an resistance to the drugs effects. The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user. These cravings for the drug are the result of its impact on the individual's memory with feelings of pleasantness and euphoria which the individual has come to associate with the taking of the drug.
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.
Detox
