Facts
Sixty-six percent of the Americans who engage in illicit drug use are employed. Based on government figures, that means 6.5 million regular marijuana users and 1.25 million regular cocaine users are in the U.S. work force. Many of the “regular” drug users are—or will become—chronic drug abusers and addicts who are even more likely to compromise the workplace in numerous ways: decreased productivity and increased accidents, medical claims, absenteeism, product defects, insurance costs, and employee theft, to name a few. Roger Smith, the former chairman of General Motors, said drug abuse cost GM $1 billion a year. Obviously, the economic cost of drug abuse to business is enormous; the human cost is even greater. Treatment: A facility where recovering drug addicts learn about addiction, recovery and relapse while addressing misguided beliefs about self, others and their environment. Attending a Drug Abuse treatment program helps the recovering Drug Abuser make lifestyle changes, manage feelings and develop coping tools and drug refusal skills. In addition, they learn to identify relapse warning signs and challenge thoughts that may lead to relapse. Addictions grow stronger over time for two reasons. First, a person's body may become biologically dependent on the substance or behavior. That is, the body may begin to need and expect that it will receive a certain substance each day or each hour. If it does not receive that substance, it responds by becoming ill. When this happens, the person is said to be physiologically dependent on the substance or activity. In the United States, this is the most common term for the HEMP plant Cannabis sativa and its mind-altering (PSYCHOACTIVE) products. The term derives from the Mexican Spanish mariguana/marihuana (sometimes explained as Mary's leaf or Mary's plant, or from María y Juan, that is, Mary and John, the source of the English slang Mary Jane or maryjane.) It came into recorded English about 1890 and has become the mainstream term in American publications, law, and general usage. The term cannabis is sometimes used in medical literature and by the British; it means hemp in Latin and is derived from the Greek, kannabis, itself borrowed into Greek from an unknown source. In ASIA, where the plant originated, it is grown legally and commercially both for its fiber content (it is used to make strong rope) and for its drug content; there it is called BHANG (from Sanskrit bhang) or bang, GANJA or churganja, and HASHISH. |
Drug Rehabilitation
Drug rehabilitation is a place or program that an individual enters to treat a drug or alcohol addiction. Through therapy and education, the individual is restored to their former non-drug using self. They are then able to re-enter society clean and sober. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Some of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, problems with the law, and problems at work. Also, there are several different types of drug rehabilitation programs available: inpatient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term.
Tolerance
Tolerance to a drug takes place when an individual is exposed to the same drug repeatedly and begins to build up an resistance to the drugs effects. The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user. These cravings for the drug are the result of its impact on the individual's memory with feelings of pleasantness and euphoria which the individual has come to associate with the taking of the drug.
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.
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.
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.
