Facts
Alcohol poisoning is a hazardous and potentially fatal consequence of drinking significantly more ethanol alcohol than the body can process. Many people think that the key factor regarding alcohol poisoning is simply the amount of alcohol than an individual drinks.One of the main issues concerning alcohol poisoning, however, is not necessarily the amount of alcohol a person has ingested but more importantly, the amount of alcohol that an individual can metabolize. For instance, an underweight person who does not usually drink alcohol and who hasn't eaten in many hours may be at risk of developing alcohol poisoning after quickly ingesting just two or three drinks. How alcohol consumption affects an individual's body depends on the amount of alcohol in his or her blood. This 'level of alcohol" is known as blood alcohol concentration, or BAC. Most children who were exposed to cocaine before birth have normal intelligence. This is encouraging, in light of earlier predictions that many of these children would be severely brain-damaged. However, studies of cocaine-exposed school-aged children do suggest subtle effects on intelligence and behavior. Exposed children tend to score about 3 points lower on tests of IQ than nonexposed children. While effects on overall intelligence appear small, the effects on specific language abilities are larger. Teachers also report more problem behaviors in cocaine-exposed children compared to unexposed children. As a result of these subtle effects on learning and behavior, some exposed children will need special education to help reach their full potential. How can a woman protect her baby from the dangers of cocaine? The birth defects and other problems caused by cocaine are completely preventable. In 1995, an influx of flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) tablets reached the Gulf Coast and other areas of the United States. Manufactured legally by Hoffman-LaRoche in Colombia, Mexico, and Switzerland, Rohypnol has been reported to be combined with alcohol and cocaine, and is becoming known as the "date rape" drug. Illegal in the United States, it sells wholesale for a dollar a tablet and retail from $1.25 to three dollars a tablet. In the 1960s, intravenous methamphetamine became increasingly available, and concern about the increased popularity of the drug led to severe restrictions in the availability of licit methamphetamine. As a result, the market in illicit methamphetamine grew. By 1975, use of methamphetamine had declined and it became a low-status drug. Since the 1980s, a different and more potent form of the drug has been available. This may have contributed to its re-emergence in the 1990s. |
Detox
Detox is necessary when an individual through their chronic use of drugs or alcohol has developed an addiction. The objective of detox is to help the individual achieve a drug and alcohol free state. Detox is intended to relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and helps prepare the individual for entry into drug rehabilitation. Therefore, the ultimate goal of detox is preparation for long term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
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.
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).
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".
