Facts
Prevention interventions must be personalized for each person at risk. Effective prevention entails discussing the many behavioral changes a drug user must make to reduce his or her risks for HIV/AIDS. It may require showing drug users and their sex partners how to assess their own risk behaviors. It may also require helping people identify barriers that keep them from changing their behavior, informing them about available resources to help them make those changes, encouraging them to seek voluntary HIV testing and counseling, and teaching them how to develop specific, achievable strategies to protect themselves and others from contracting HIV and other infections. Structurally, hydromorphone is similar to morphine and has similar painkilling and other effects in the body. Hydromorphone by weight is actually a stronger painkiller than morphine. Hydromorphone is combined with a substance called guaifenesin in cough syrup formulations. With addictive substances such as methamphetamine, the dangers of use are more pronounced. Even those who claim not to have a problem with recreational, or what might be termed occasional, use of drugs might be kidding themselves. The low that follows a euphoric high can make the rest of the user's life seem dull and depressing when compared to a drug-enhanced state. The allure of recapturing a feeling of euphoria that has suddenly deserted other aspects of their "real" lives may be prove too enticing to pass by, and result in dependence or addiction. Almost two-thirds of teens admit to binge drinking. That's two out of every three adolescents who is downing 5 or more drinks in a row (the definition of binge drinking in the US ). Many people assume that binge drinking means drinking over a long period of time, but it also refers to tossing back several drinks in a short amount of time. Teens who binge drink tend to have a lot of problems due to the amount of alcohol in their system. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
