Facts
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. Methamphetamine use and abuse was traditionally believed to be one of white, blue-collar males. However, that has rapidly shifted in the past decade, with methamphetamine being used by a very diverse population. A study of the ethnicity of methamphetamine users done between 1996 and 1997 shows that they are multi-cultural. In Los Angles, 30% of users were white, 5% were Hispanic, and only 2% were black. However, that same survey showed that in Portland, Oregon, whites made up 94% of all methamphetamine users; 54% of these were male, while 46% were female. In Los Angles, 88% of the methamphetamine users were male, with only 12% being female. The 1999 Monitoring the Future study examined drug use among high-school students. This study found that the use of methamphetamines has been steadily increasing since 1990 in this age group. Almost 5% of high school seniors stated to being methamphetamine users, up from 2.7% in 1990. In high-use methamphetamine areas such as the Midwest, the use of methamphetamine among teenagers is even higher. A survey done in 1998 in Marshall County, Iowa, showed that almost one third of the 1,600 students in the county high school had tried methamphetamine. When marijuana is used for a longer period of time, though, it can cause other problems. First of all, it acts as a gateway drug. Someone who has smoked pot on a regular basis without any ill effect might figure that one hit of cocaine won't hurt anything. This leads to bigger and stronger drug addictions. Long term use of this drug can also boost your probability of having a heart attack or stroke, or developing bronchitis or emphysema, among other health issues. On average, every 39 minutes a drunk driver claims a victim in the United States. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
Drug Side Effects
Drug addiction and abuse comes with a heavy price. There are drastic drug side effects associated with drug misuse and abuse. Drug side effects from legal and illegal drugs can range from mild itching to comas and death. In addition to the physical drug side effects mentioned, there are many psychological drug side effects of drug abuse; the most serious being drug addiction and overdose.
