Facts
Some states also have a classification called "extreme DUI" for blood alcohol greater than 0.15 percent. In Arizona, for example, a jail sentence for extreme DUI tends to be ten times as long as a jail sentence for regular DUI or DWI. When a suspect is arrested for drunk driving, he or she must take a Breathalyzer test. The breath machine measures the amount of alcohol in the breath and converts it into a measure of the amount of alcohol in the blood. In most states, a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.10 percent or above is classified as driving under the influence. Some states have further reduced the legal limit to 0.08 percent, but the U.S. Congress rejected legislation in 1998 that would have required all states to lower the drunken driving arrest threshold to 0.08 percent. Most other industrial nations have already set their legal limit at 0.08 or lower. Not surprisingly, in most states where 0.08 BAC laws have been added to existing controls on impaired drivers, they have led to reductions in alcohol-related fatalities. Inhalants - Hair spray, gasoline, spray paint -- they are all inhalants, and so are lots of other everyday products. Some people inhale the vapors on purpose. While ecstasy and OxyContin make headlines as the latest dangerous drugs, news coverage of inhalants is much more subdued. When surveyed, 40% of parents were unaware that sniffing inhalants is extremely dangerous, according to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. Yet in 2000, 16.7 million youths reported having used inhalants at some point, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Household Survey on Drug Abuse. That contrasts with the 6.4 million ecstasy users and 400,000 OxyContin users the survey identified. Inhalant use has been called a silent epidemic, the breath of death, and the drug problem most resistant to prevention efforts. Huffing and sniffing are potentially deadly for both new and experienced users, yet the issue has escaped the attention of many parents, teachers, physicians, and law enforcement officers. National surveys variously show that only 3% to 10% of parents believe their children have abused inhalants. Others see it as a harmless passing phase. During the 1980s, increasing numbers of pregnant drug-dependent women went to medical facilities—some to receive ongoing prenatal care, but others only to deliver their babies without the benefit of any prenatal care. Such women fear the threat of confrontation with legal authorities. The general lack of women-oriented drug-treatment programs contributes to this major health problem—addiction in pregnancy. It has also contributed to increased medical and social maladies and mortality in such mothers and their infants. |
Dependence
Dependence is the compulsive use of a substance despite negative consequences which can be severe; drug dependence is simply excessive use of a drug or use of a drug for purposes for which it was not medically intended. Physical dependence on a substance (needing a drug to function) is not necessary or sufficient to define addiction. There are some substances that don't cause addiction but do cause physical dependence (for example, some blood pressure medications) and substances that cause addiction but not classic physical dependence (cocaine withdrawal, for example, it does not have symptoms like vomiting and chills; it is mainly characterized by depression).
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.
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.
Tolerance
Tolerance to a drug takes place when an individual is exposed to the same drug repeatedly and begins to build up an resistance to the drugs effects. The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user. These cravings for the drug are the result of its impact on the individual's memory with feelings of pleasantness and euphoria which the individual has come to associate with the taking of the drug.
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".
