Facts
Partial hospital or day drug treatment programs are a level above outpatient addiction treatment in that they meet five days a week for approximately four hours every day. Initially designed as a "step down" program for those persons completing residential treatment care, they became an option for some insurance carriers in an attempt to negate having to pay for extended residential addiction treatment. These types of addiction treatment programs became very popular in the late 90's, especially in providing mental health care for the Medicare population. Patients generally live at home or in another structured setting and attend these addiction treatment programs during the day. The percent of youth reporting the use of illicit drugs has fluctuated since 1995 (9.0 percent in 1996 and 11.4 percent in 1997). 8.3 percent of youths age 12-17 were users of marijuana in 1998. The prevalence of marijuana use among youth did not change significantly between 1997 when it was 9.4 percent and 1998 when it was at the rate of 8.3 percent teen drug abuse. An estimated 1.8 million (0.8 percent) Americans age 12 and older were teen drug abuse(ers) users of cocaine in 1998. The estimate was 1.5 million (0.7 percent) in 1997; but the difference is not statistically significant. Taking drugs can produce an effect that is the opposite of tolerance. Sensitization occurs when the same dose of a particular drug is taken repeatedly. With sensitization, the exact same dose of the drug begins to produce a larger, rather than smaller, effect. For example, a user might take a particular dose of amphetamine. At first, that dose might only cause a slight increase in the person's energy level or physical activity. After the same dose has been repeated several times, however, that dose might begin to cause intense hyperactivity or even a seizure. Because of its unpredictable nature, sensitization can be quite dangerous. Furthermore, research suggests that the effects of sensitization on the nervous system may be involved in the progression of drug users from soft gateway drugs (e.g., nicotine and alcohol) to hard drugs such as cocaine. Meth is surpassing cocaine as the drug of choice in Oklahoma. The state medical examiner's office reports the number of death cases testing positive for meth have been higher than cocaine for the past three years. The office also reports meth is found in more cases of homicides, and motor vehicle accidents. |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
