Facts
Despite stiffer federal penalties for drug offenses enacted during the 1950s, popular use of psychedelic substances, such as LSD, in addition to heroin, marijuana, and cocaine saw a resurgence in the 1960s and early 1970s. The estimated number of heroin users rose from approximately 50,000 in 1960 to about 500,000 by 1970. Methadone, a synthetic drug created by German scientists during the second World War due to a shortage in morphine, was introduced in the United States in 1947 and was widely used in the 1960s to treat heroin addicts. In 1971, an estimated 24 million Americans reported use of marijuana at least once, and others reported experimental use of cocaine. At the same time, press accounts noted a growing use of marijuana and heroin by U.S. soldiers in Vietnam. Cocaine brings a different type of emotional reaction. One common result of using too much of the drug is coke bugs, the feeling that invisible insects are crawling all over one's skin. And bugs are not the only imaginary creatures to attack cocaine addicts. Recently a young Florida woman scarred her face for life by clawing at it, trying to pull off imaginary worms. The anxiety brought on by drugs is very real and very frightening to those experiencing it. One man wrote to syndicated advice columnist Ann Landers about his experience. He had been taking cocaine and crystal meth on and off for several days. He then went into a tanning booth, where he almost passed out. He wrote, "I haven't slept in 57 hours. I believe I may have suffered brain damage. This morning, I tried to recite the ABCs and couldn't do it. I'm scared stiff and can't stop crying." Alcohol Is Readily Available. Alcohol is the easiest drug for children to obtain. In a recent study of students in Washington State, 25–30% of 6th graders said that it would be easy for them to obtain beer, wine or hard liquor. This compares with about 6–7% who say it would be easy to obtain marijuana and 0% who report it would be easy to obtain cocaine, LSD or amphetamines. As children get older, they find it easier to find drugs but alcohol remains the most accessible: 55% of 8th graders say alcohol is easy to obtain compared with 25– 39% who could find marijuana easily and 10–15% who could find other drugs easily. More than one in five high school seniors (22%) report recent heavy use of alcohol compared with one in seven (15%) who report recent heavy use of marijuana. A study by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University confirms what many criminologists have long known: alcohol is associated with more violent crime than any illegal drug, including crack, cocaine, and heroin. Twenty-one percent of violent felons in state prisons committed their crimes while under the influence of alcohol alone. Only 3% were high on crack or powder cocaine alone and only 1% were using heroin alone. |
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".
Alcoholism
Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence," is a condition that includes craving and continued alcohol abuse despite repeated drinking-related problems, such as losing a job or getting into trouble with the law. It includes four major areas: Craving: - A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. Impaired control: -The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. Physical dependence: -Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. Tolerance: - The need for increasing amounts of alcohol in order to feel its effects.
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.
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.
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.
