Facts
If a regular hydrocodone user stops taking hydrocodone, he or she will experience hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms within six to twelve hours but, the withdrawal symptoms are usually not life-threatening. The intensity of hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms depend on the degree of the addiction. For example, hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms may grow stronger for twenty-four to seventy-two hours and then gradually decline over a period of seven to fourteen days. The duration of hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms varies greatly from person to person. Meth use has moved beyond the traditional subcultures of users, such as bikers, gay men, and blue-collar, white males to college students, professionals, minorities, and especially women. It has also been encouraged by the use of less-potent legal stimulants associated with all-night “rave” dance parties popular in recent years. Reducing the production and trafficking of illicit drugs, including methamphetamine, is a priority for law enforcement across the country. In order to do so effectively, local producers/distributors need to be targeted, but so do larger organized criminal groups which are also involved. Inhalants are solvents or anesthetics that are administered by being breathed in. Examples include paint thinners, glues, hair sprays, spray paints, lighter fluids, nitrous oxide, propane, and nitrites. When these substances are purposely inhaled (breathed in) for the purpose of obtaining a "high," they become drugs of abuse. Most have a depressant effect on the central nervous system, but some cause seizures (wild discharges of electricity in the brain that can cause unconsciousness and involuntary jerking of the muscles). Inhalants are possibly the most toxic (poisonous and dangerous) of abused substances and can produce a wide range of injuries and death, depending on the chemical makeup of what is inhaled. Because inhalants are not intended for human consumption, no tests are performed to determine how safe they are, in contrast with safety testing conducted on medications intended for human use. Abuse of solvents involves putting the solvent in a closed container or saturating a piece of cloth and inhaling through it. Compressed gases are sometimes released into balloons and inhaled; directly releasing these substances into the mouth may freeze the larynx, causing death through choking. Once the chemical is inhaled, the speed and duration of its action are determined by how quickly it dissolves in the blood and brain, and by respiratory and cardiac actions in the body. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
Therapeutic Community
An effective therapeutic community attends to the many needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Care given at a therapeutic community addresses the individual's drug use and associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal problems. Also, a therapeutic community will continue to be flexible and provide ongoing assessments of the individual's needs, which may change during the course of care.
Remaining in care at a therapeutic community for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness. The time depends on an individual's needs. For most people, the significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment.
