Facts
Smoking freebase is a popular route of ingestion because the cocaine is absorbed immediately into blood via the lungs, reaching the brain in about five seconds. Unlike drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, and heroin, ecstasy is not derived from a naturally occurring plant; rather it is a synthetic drug created in a laboratory. An average ecstasy tablet contains between 75 mg and 150 mg of MDMA, along with some inactive filler compounds, but they can range anywhere from 0 mg to 400 mg MDMA. Due to its synthetic nature, ecstasy is frequently cut with other drugs, and some recent drug busts have found tablets sold as ecstasy to contain less than 30% actual MDMA. Some other drugs often sold as or in combination with MDMA as ecstasy are methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), dimethyltrypatamine (DMT), dipropyltryptamine (DPT), paramethoxyamphetamine (PMA), and numerous other stimulants and hallucinogens including PCP, cocaine, ketamine (specialk), methamphetamine, gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), lysergic acid (LSD), pseudoephedrine, and dextromethorphan (cough medicine). Like most drug users, ecstasy users rarely use just ecstasy. Other drugs commonly taken in combination with ecstasy are alcohol, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, LSD, other "club drugs," and sometimes antidepressants or benzodiazepines to counteract the feeling of "coming down" off ecstasy. Fetal Alcohol Effects (a less severe set of alcohol-related abnormalities) is estimated to occur in 3-5 live births per every 1,000 in the United States each year. Inhalants have a big effect on the role it plays in society. Inhalant abuse can impact families and communities. There is little awareness of inhalants in society because it is not an in-class discussed problem. Children tend to start abusing substances because they either: have easy access to substances, are unsupervised, have a lack of family communication, supervision or curfews. Researchers believe that parents and friends play a big role in inhalant abuse.1 They believe inhalants are just like drugs. Children are most likely not to use them if they are informed how dangerous they are. Friends can also help a person to stop or they can educate him/her on the negative effects of inhalants. Researchers also believe there is a lack of information given by schools about this topic. Only several years ago, most parents did not know of the lethal effects of inhalants. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
