Facts
Cocaine is one of the most powerful psychologically addictive substances known, and professional treatment is required to help an addict get off and stay off cocaine. The severity of the addiction will mandate how intensive the treatment program is, but most cocaine addicts will need to undergo an intensive and lengthy immersive therapeutic program. What makes ecstasy unique? First, no drug has ever been characterized in quite the same way as ecstasy. Individuals almost universally describe its effects as "euphoric" "blissful," and "love inducing." The drug experience appears to be greater for women, and the ecstasy experience can be amplified by such factors as room temperature, overcrowding, and dancing? These qualities make ecstasy distinct from other substances sold on either licit or illicit markets. The positive effects, coupled with its wide availability, seem to ensure ecstasy's continued use by young people. It is also readily taken in combination with other medications, such as fluoxetine (Prozac[TM]), sildenafil (Viagra[TM]), herbal and caffeinated "energy" beverages (Red Bull[TM]), and alcohol, which may further enhance or change its effect. “Children today spend about as many hours in front of a television as they do in a classroom,” Bonnette said. “Clearly, children are learning less about the dangers of drugs from mass media, which is no surprise. There are fewer story- lines dealing with drugs on television, fewer anti-drug ads airing regularly, fewer stories about drugs. As the data demonstrate, when it comes to children and drugs, out of sight is out of mind.” Benzodiazepines are much used, valuable sedative/hypnotic drugs. They come in long and short acting types and are used in many medical procedures to reduce anxiety, induce anesthesia, or to control seizures. Even in overdose, fatalities are rare—but still possible, especially when combined with alcohol. Addiction is not common but it does occur and when it does it can cause the same problems as alcohol, e.g. erratic driving, problems operating machinery, memory blackouts, etc. When addiction occurs, withdrawal at sometime is inevitable. It is not as difficult and life threatening as alcohol withdrawal but, at the worst, withdrawal is similar and the user may require medical help. |
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers intensive drug addiction help over a period of weeks or months. This form of treatment has some advantages over out-patient treatment, although it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, those who are responsible for caring for young children may be better suited to attendance at an out patient treatment program. Residential treatment offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment where individuals can confront their own drug addiction and associated issues, with the help of qualified staff. Therapy usually consists of a mixture of group counseling, individual counseling and an introduction to the principles of a drug recovery program.
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.
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.
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.
