Facts
Purchased on the street, marijuana and sinsemilla are green or brown buds, leaves, or stems. The leaves and stems do not contain the concentrations of THC found in the buds and flowers, but people smoke them to get high. Physical abuse is also likely when parents are high on methamphetamine. Common effects such as irritability or paranoia can lead to violence towards children in the home, which is made even more dangerous when guns or other weapons are present. In an attempt to prevent police or drug manufacturing competitors from discovering and destroying a methamphetamine laboratory, rooms may by booby trapped. Although the intent is to ward off law enforcement or competitors, booby trapping rooms is an obvious risk for children, as well as workers who enter the home. Child welfare practitioners need to be cautious in approaching a home where it is known that parents are using and look for the presence of guns or weapons to assess the safety of the situation. 33.4% of students report heavy alcohol use. The recent increase in ecstasy use among college students has left prevention workers feeling anything but euphoric. Although the use of alcohol and most other drugs has remained steady over the last 5 years, ecstasy use has more than doubled. This dramatic increase, coupled with the unique characteristics of this substance, warrants a concerted prevention effort specific to this drug. In the present article, we outline the history and current epidemiology of MDMA, more commonly known as ecstasy, X, E, or XTC, and provide directions to equip readers to respond to this growing problem. Ecstasy is unlike any other drug in terms of its effects and the myths surrounding its use. Students who use ecstasy fit a very different profile from students who use other drugs. Recent scientific studies reflect growing concern about the possibility of long-term neurological damage as a result of recreational use of MDMA. Current drug prevention efforts seem to have failed with ecstasy users. Although rates of other illegal drug use by young adults have remained stable, the use of ecstasy has risen in nearly every age group. |
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.
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.
Dependence
Dependence is the compulsive use of a substance despite negative consequences which can be severe; drug dependence is simply excessive use of a drug or use of a drug for purposes for which it was not medically intended. Physical dependence on a substance (needing a drug to function) is not necessary or sufficient to define addiction. There are some substances that don't cause addiction but do cause physical dependence (for example, some blood pressure medications) and substances that cause addiction but not classic physical dependence (cocaine withdrawal, for example, it does not have symptoms like vomiting and chills; it is mainly characterized by depression).
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.
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.
