Facts
Researchers studying suicide try to discover what factors in a person's life contributed to his or her suicide. They interview the suicide victim's relatives, friends, and others and study the victim's medical records. They also consider suicide notes and coroner reports. Researchers then compare cases of completed suicide, cases of attempts at suicide, and cases of substance abusers who have never attempted suicide. The differences among these groups may help experts to identify those at particular risk of attempted or completed suicide. Studies have shown that young adults who drink heavily have an increased risk of suicide in middle adulthood. People who are dependent on alcohol or drugs have an increased risk of death from accidents, disease, and suicide. In fact, suicide is among the most significant causes of death in both male and female substance abusers. Adolescent substance abuse is a serious and growing problem in the United States. A greater variety of drugs are available and are less expensive and more dangerous than ever before. Adolescents need effective drug use prevention programs, effective and accessible drug treatment, and enforceable drug interdiction policies linked to mandated treatment. Support for substance abuse education, prevention, and treatment must come from all sides: from families, schools, neighborhood and community groups, policymakers, and health care professionals. Treatment resources for adolescent drug abusers need to be increased, and treatment programs should offer a multifaceted approach that involves a broad coalition of community resources, including juvenile justice and social service agencies, schools, mental health professionals, and primary care clinicians. Our responsibility as health care professionals is to provide vigorous advocacy for our patients by insisting on a greater commitment of resources to drug use prevention and treatment. We must use our expertise to inform the public debate, emphasizing science and data. Finally, we need to expand the scope of research both to improve the effectiveness of treatment in the future and to provide convincing evidence to policymakers that our adolescents desperately need substance abuse treatment now. Reported use of marijuana by high school seniors during the past month peaked in 1978 at 37.1% and declined to its lowest level of 11.9% in 1992. On the illicit drug market LSD has been sold in the form of impregnated paper (blotters/trips), microdots, thin squares of gelatine (window panes), or impregnated on sugar cubes. Stamps or blotters are the common dose form. They are made by impregnating paper with a solution of LSD in alcohol. These papers are "trade marked" with various designs. |
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.
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is defined as the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for other than medically warranted purposes. Drug abuse is a problem which has an effect on people of all income levels,
ages, and stations in life. Quite often the last person to see that there is a
problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".
Intervention
An intervention is when a group of loved ones and/or a trained intervention counselor meets with the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down their denial and motivating them to immediately seek drug addiction treatment. Often, individuals in the midst of drug addiction engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help. When an intervention is held a moment of clarity is created
for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work). Drug addiction encompasses a diverse range of drugs (such as alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, and cocaine) and is caused by many different factors.
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.
