Facts
The great majority of teens also see alcohol as readily available: in 2007, 62% of 8th graders, 83% of 10th graders, and 92% of 12th graders said it would be “fairly easy” or “very easy” to get. An Ecstasy high can last anywhere from six to 24 hours. Users report that the drug causes euphoria, feelings of well-being, enhanced emotional and mental clarity, increased energy, heightened sensitivity to touch, and enhanced sexuality. At high doses MDMA can cause hallucinations, sensations of lightness and floating, depression, paranoia, and irrational behavior, including violence. Individuals may experience jaw-clenching and teeth-- grinding, irritation, headaches, vomiting, panic/anxiety, convulsions, heart attack, brain damage, exhaustion, dehydration, and heatstroke. While under the influence of the drug the user may dance for hours at a time at a "rave" or techno-music party without rest or hydration. Without rest and water consumption, body temperature can be raised to dangerous levels followed by collapse and heat stroke. Death can occur, especially if the dehydration and enhanced body temperature are not controlled. In some users confusion, depression, sleep problems, anxiety, and paranoia have been reported even weeks after the drug is taken. Marijuana is the most widely used illegal controlled substance in the world. Although the drug has been illegal in the United States since the 1930s, an estimated 40.6 percent of the U.S. population over twelve years of age (forty out of every one hundred people) has tried it at least once. As recently as 2003, 25.2 million people—basically one in ten Americans—reported using the drug at least once that year, as reported by the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Illicit drug chemists realized that they could create a way to smoke pure cocaine. They removed several of the chemical elements involved in the freebasing process and developed a way to reprocess the cocaine using only water. With this advent in chemistry, the crack epidemic was born. Crack usage exploded across the country, most notably in low income areas. The drug was a cheap, fast, powerful high, making it popular with financially-challenged addicts in search of their next fix. In addition to the inexpensive nature of the drug, crack also became popular because of the speed in which the rush was delivered – often as little as ten seconds. |
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.
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.
Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers intensive drug addiction help over a period of weeks or months. This form of treatment has some advantages over out-patient treatment, although it may not be suitable for everyone. For example, those who are responsible for caring for young children may be better suited to attendance at an out patient treatment program. Residential treatment offers a safe, drug and alcohol-free environment where individuals can confront their own drug addiction and associated issues, with the help of qualified staff. Therapy usually consists of a mixture of group counseling, individual counseling and an introduction to the principles of a drug recovery program.
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.
