Facts
Help for determining the differences. Needs are things you have to have to survive in life. Wants are things you would like to see happen in the positive way for yourself and others around you. True needs in life are food & shelter, clothing, love and belonging. If you are missing any of these basic needs they are often replaced with artificial needs. What are your needs? What are your wants? Are they aligned with true needs and wants, or are they artificial? Others do not have to fail for you to succeed and you are not responsible for their issues. If you receive many positives in life be thankful to your Creator for the skills and abilities given to you. Self acceptance is acknowledging your worth as a person. The more you acknowledge yourself as a unique individual different from all others and able to make wise choices, the more your good will increase. Animal studies on ecstasy have found that the effects of the drug on the brain appear to be associated with long-term impairments in memory, learning, impulse control, mood, and sleep. These studies have guided human research into the long-term effects of ecstasy to focus on the drug's toxic effects on serotonin in the brain. As of 2001, clear evidence of long-term damage in humans is limited but suggests that excessive neurotransmitter activity induced by ecstasy use damages the neurons that release serotonin, which is thought to impair learning and memory. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University have demonstrated that this type of damage, in conjunction with verbal and visual memory impairment, persists for at least seven years in monkeys. Similar results were seen in humans who had not used ecstasy for at least two weeks, leading the investigators to declare that one instance of ecstasy use puts the user at risk for brain damage and long-term impairment in learning and memory. The period of no drug use prior to the learning and memory test suggests that the impairment cannot be attributed to any withdrawal effects. The top four benzodiazepines alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, and lorazepam—are consistently listed among the top 100 most commonly prescribed medications. Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) has recently received a lot of attention, especially on college campuses, where its use as a "date rape" drug has placed it on the watch list of students and police. Flunitrazepam is one of the drugs, along with MDMA (ecstasy), used by teenagers and young adults as part of the nightclub, bar, "rave," or "trance" scene. Flunitrazepam, also known by the brand name Rohypnol, and by the street names roofies, R2, Roche, roofinol, rope, rophies, forget-me pill, and Mexican valium, has received more press recently than most of the other benzodiazepines. It comes as a small, white tablet, with "Roche" on one side, and an encircled "1" or "2" on the other side, which indicats the 1-mg or 2-mg dose. It is usually consumed orally, often combined with alcohol, and can also be snorted after crushing the tablets. This drug is produced legally in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. It is frequently smuggled into the country disguised as vitamins or in its original packaging as cold medicine. Flunitrazepam is not approved in the United States, but is has been used widely in Texas, and is readily available in Miami, Florida, where it is a growing problem. Young men not enrolled in college were the most common users of benzodiazepines in the year 2000. Young adults who were not in college were also more likely than college studients to use these drugs. Annual use of benzodiazepines was again most likely in young adult men who were not full-time college students(7.6%), followed by women who were not students(6.3%), compared with only 4.8% of full-time college males and only 3.8% of full-time college female students. Overall, the annual prevalence of the use of benzodiazepines in all young adults enrolled full-time in college was 4.2%, compared with 6.8% in young adults not enrolled in full-time college. |
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.
Drug Rehabilitation
Drug rehabilitation is a place or program that an individual enters to treat a drug or alcohol addiction. Through therapy and education, the individual is restored to their former non-drug using self. They are then able to re-enter society clean and sober. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Some of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, problems with the law, and problems at work. Also, there are several different types of drug rehabilitation programs available: inpatient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term.
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.
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.
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.
