Facts
Non-prescription cough medicines with codeine are Schedule V drugs, which have a low potential for abuse compared to Schedule IV drugs, an accepted medical use in the United States, and the likelihood of limited physical or psychological dependence if abused. Federal trafficking penalties for a first offense of a Schedule V substance is not more than one year and fines of up to $100,000 for individuals and $250,000 for organizations. A second offense carries a maximum of 30 years to life if a death is involved and fines up to two and 10 million dollars. The challenge with identifying drug paraphernalia is that some items are marketed as legitimate equipment. Bongs or marijuana pipes can frequently have disclaimers indicating that they are for tobacco use only. Things to look for when trying to identify drug paraphernalia are how they are displayed for sale, written materials describing the items and how they're to be used, and the business environment in which they are being sold. The proportion of students who smoke soared from 27.5 percent in 1991 to 36.4 percent in 1997 but then began to fall, hitting 21.9 percent in 2003. The 2005 survey, however, showed the rate had crept up to 23 percent. Because that change was not statistically significant, officials were waiting for the 2007 figures to determine whether the downward trend had actually stalled. Approximately 2.1 million youths aged 12 to 17 had used inhalants at some time in their lives as of 2000, according to the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. The 2001 Monitoring the Future survey showed that 17.1 percent of 8th graders, 15.2 percent of 10th graders, and 13.0 percent of 12th graders said they had abused inhalants at least once. Only marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes are more frequently abused substances among this age group. Inhalant abuse originally came to public attention in the 1950s. The news media reported that young people seeking a cheap high were sniffing glue. The term "glue sniffing" is still widely used to refer to inhalation of a broad range of common products besides glue. With so many substances lumped together as inhalants, obtaining accurate research data for each kind of inhalant—how often it is used and by whom—is difficult. However, evidence indicates that inhalant abuse is far more common among all social and economic levels of U.S. youth than parents and the public typically recognize. For example, the 2001 Monitoring the Future survey shows that 17.1 percent of 8th graders had used an inhalant at least once in his or her lifetime. Lifetime inhalant use among 12th graders, which had increased steadily for most of the 1980s and early 1990s, gradually declined again after 1995 (probably as a result of an anti-inhalant advertising campaign) and stood at 13 percent in 2001; 10th graders reported a lifetime inhalant use of 15.2 percent. |
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.
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.
Intervention
An intervention is when a group of loved ones and/or a trained intervention counselor meets with the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down their denial and motivating them to immediately seek drug addiction treatment. Often, individuals in the midst of drug addiction engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help. When an intervention is held a moment of clarity is created
for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
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 Overdose
A drug overdose occurs when you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate. Drug users are constantly flirting with the risk of a drug overdose. There is a
fine line between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long term effects, there
can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
