Facts
School problems. A lowered commitment to education, declining grades, absenteeism from school and related activities, increased potential for dropping out, and higher truancy rates are linked to adolescent substance abuse (Hawkins, Catalano, and Miller, 1992). Students' cognitive and behavioral problems precipitated by alcohol and other drug use not only affect their own academic performance, but also may disrupt learning by their peers (BJS, 1992). The drug popularly called ecstasy (MDMA) belongs to a group of drug compounds that are synthesized, or artificially formed, and sometimes sold on the street. These drugs are often called "designer drugs." They were originally given this name because each was specifically created to imitate the effects of a known illegal substance. However each was slightly altered or "designed" to be unique in an effort to avoid legal restrictions—at least temporarily. Larger and purer crystals are sometimes available but these are usually primarily for cooking up and injecting. And then there's the 'base', an off white / brown / pink gritty paste, usually much purer than powder (the texture makes it too difficult to mix with anything else). Illegally manufactured amphetamine pills do exist but are usually sold as (fake) Ecstasy rather than as speed. Once a methamphetamine lab has been taken down, there remains the further job of rehabilitating the site so that it is safe for future use. This involves cleaning up chemicals that may have contaminated the building or surrounding area. As with other chemical processes, the manufacturing of drugs results in the production of by-products and contaminants. The consequences of clandestine laboratory activity exist long after the laboratory has been dismantled, and there is evidence that by-products may cause significant environmental damage. Depending on the production method, every kilogram of manufactured methamphetamine produces 6 to 10 kilograms of hazardous toxic waste. In licit processes, chemical by-products are disposed of according to regulatory and waste-management guidelines. In illicit drug manufacturing, unwanted by-products, most notably sodium hydroxide, are often dumped into the environment, down sinks and drains, into rivers and streams and onto surrounding land. Furthermore, residual chemicals coat surfaces and can seep into the walls, floor and furniture of a property, so it remains contaminated for months or years after the initial manufacturing process. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
Addiction
Addiction is one of the many consequences of so-called 'casual' drug and alcohol abuse. A loss of control over drugs and alcohol can be driven by physical or psychological factors, or sometimes both. Physical addiction takes place when the body comes to need a drug to function normally. If it is not taken, unpleasant withdrawal symptoms occur. The only way to avoid this is to take more of the drug. Psychological addiction takes place when an individual comes to rely on a drug to supply good feelings, such as relaxation, self-confidence, self esteem, and freedom from anxiety. This is not just a casual desire, it's a powerful compulsion.
