Facts
During the 19th century, Southeast Asia experienced a confluence of socio-economic forces--demand, supply, and state policy--that expanded its total opium trade and the degree of European dominance. First, Chinese migration to Southeast Asia accelerated the demand for drugs throughout the 19th century, creating a substantial market of wage laborers with the means and motivation for opium smoking. Pressed for revenues to finance public works, European colonial governments established opium farms and leased these revenue contracts to overseas Chinese merchants. Amphetamines, like other stimulants, are generally abused in binges. People take the drug repeatedly for some period of time—usually every three or four hours for three or four days. Then, during a crash period, the user sleeps, eats, and takes no drug at all. As tolerance develops, the user takes higher doses. Stopping amphetamine use suddenly usually results in depression. Mood generally returns to normal within a week, although craving for the drug can last for months. There is little evidence for the development of physical dependence to the amphetamines. Although some experts view the crash—with low energy, depression, exhaustion, and increased appetite—that can follow the amphetamine binge as a withdrawal syndrome, others believe that the symptoms can also be related to the effects of chronic stimulant use. In other words, during the binge, users have not slept or eaten much, resulting in depression, exhaustion, and hunger when the binge ends. In 1993, the treatment admission rate for primary marijuana abuse in the United States was 55 admissions per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older. Three States had rates of 117 per 100,000 or more, and 91 percent of reporting States had rates of 102 per 100,000 or less. By 1996, the admission rate for primary marijuana abuse in the United States had increased by 65 percent to 91 per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older. Eighteen States had rates of 117 per 100,000 or more. By 1999, the admission rate for primary marijuana abuse in the United States had increased another 13 percent to 103 per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older. The proportion of reporting States with 102 admissions per 100,000 or less had fallen to 39 percent from 91 percent in 1993. Marijuana admission rates increased between 1993 and 1999 in all but a few States. Rates increased by 150 percent or more in 10 States and by 100 to 149 percent in another 8 States. Some States with high rates in 1993 had small percentage increases (e.g., Alaska) or even decreases (e.g., Kansas). According to survey data, the annual prevalence of the use of benzodiazepines among college students dropped by 50% between the years of 1980 to 1984(6.9% to 3.5%, respectively), and then dropped by another 50% between 1984 and 1994 (to 1.8%). Then, usage rates began a steady increase, reaching 4.2% by2000. In young adults not considered to be college students, these rates dropped more sharply during the early 1980s. Similarly, in high school seniors, the use of benzodiazepines also dropped from 1977 to 1992 (from10.8% to 2.8%, respectively), and then rose to a total of5.7% in 2000. The lifetime prevalence of use of tranquilizers in the year 2000 for full-time college students was low, at 8.8%, as compared to young adults who were one to four years beyond high school in the same age group, which was 12.7%. This was higher among full-time college students who were male than in those who were female (10.0% vs. 7.9%, respectively). These drugs were most likely to be used by non-collegiate males (14.5%), and to a lesser degree, females (11.3%). College students were defined as high school graduates who were one to four years past high school and who were enrolled full-time in a two-year or four-year college at the beginning of March of the year reported on. For each year of the survey, roughly 1,100 to 1,500 respondents comprised the college student sample, and about 1,000 to 1,700 respondents comprised the group of young adults not considered college students. |
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.
Therapeutic Community
An effective therapeutic community attends to the many needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Care given at a therapeutic community addresses the individual's drug use and associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal problems. Also, a therapeutic community will continue to be flexible and provide ongoing assessments of the individual's needs, which may change during the course of care.
Remaining in care at a therapeutic community for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness. The time depends on an individual's needs. For most people, the significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment.

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".
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.

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.
