Facts
According to statistics on alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics and facts, about 43% of U.S. adults, namely, 76 million individuals, have been exposed to alcoholism in the family. That is, these people grew up with or married an alcoholic or a problem drinker or had a blood relative who was an alcoholic or problem drinker. Alcohol withdrawal may begin from within 8 hours to several days after the last drink. Signs and symptoms of uncomplicated withdrawal include tremor, a craving for alcohol, insomnia, vivid dreams, anxiety, irritability, tachycardia, and sweating. Peak signs and symptoms usually occur within 24-36 hours, and symptoms either abate or progress within 48 hours of onset. Factors that place a patient at greater risk of progressing to complicated withdrawal include a history of long duration of alcohol intake; large amounts of alcohol intake (including binge drinking); a prior history of alcohol detoxification or withdrawal seizures; prior delirium tremens; symptoms of alcohol withdrawal at the time of presentation; or an acute coexisting medical illness. Delirium tremens usually occurs within 1-4 days of the onset of withdrawal and peaks within 72 hours after drinking cessation. Delayed onset of delirium tremens may be as long as 7 days. Signs and symptoms of delirium tremens include clouding of sensorium, profound autonomic hyperactivity (increased temperature, tachycardia, and hypertension), hallucinations, and seizures. If alcohol withdrawal-related seizures occur, they usually occur within the first 24 hours of withdrawal symptoms. In raising the MLPA from 18 to 21, states observed an average 16% decrease in the rate of vandalism arrests, compared to an average 1.7% increase in states with a constant MLPA of 18. After the initial effects of heroin use, heroin abusers usually will be drowsy for several hours. Mental function is clouded by heroin's effect on the central nervous system. Cardiac function slows. Breathing is also severely slowed, sometimes to the point of death. Heroin overdose is a particular risk on the street, where the amount and purity of the drug cannot be accurately known. |
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
