Facts
Speed is commonly cut with pill filler, which is the biggest ingredient in Ecstasy and Paracetamol and every other type of pill. Caffeine, glucose powder, baby milk or talcum powder are also common used to cut speed. While none of the above are harmful if swallowed, they are less safe - and more painful - to snort. Baby milk and talcum powder are very dangerous if speed is injected as they clot easily in the blood. Women who are breastfeeding should likewise use caution before taking hydromorphone. This caution is based on the fact that low levels of narcotic drugs have been found in the milk of mothers who use these drugs. Therefore, Mosby's Medical Drug Reference recommends that nursing mothers not use hydromorphone. Women who are breastfeeding should inform their doctor or dentist that they are nursing if they require a strong prescription pain medication. Persons with a history of acute bronchial asthma should not receive hydromorphone. Persons with a history of head injury, increased pressure within the brain, seizures, serious abdominal problems, liver disease, kidney disease, thyroid disease, prostate disease, and low blood pressure should use hydromorphone with great caution. Also, the elderly should receive hydromorphone with great caution. In the late 1990s, among those aged 12 to 17 in the United States, an estimated 496,000 to 682,000 had used cocaine at least once. As a proportion, this amounted to about 2.5 percent of those 12 to 17 in the United States at that time. Within the United States in the late 1900s, young adult men aged 18 to 29 were more likely to be active cocaine users than any other population subgroup categorized by age and sex. For example, slightly more than 2.5 percent of men 18 to 25 were active cocaine users, as compared with 1.4 percent of men 26 to 34, 1.3 percent of women aged 18 to 25, and 0.9 percent of women aged 26 to 34. Within the United States in the early 1990s, among those aged 15 to 24 who had used cocaine, an estimated 25 percent had become dependent on it. That is, for every four who had experimented with cocaine, one had become dependent on it. Within the United States in the early 1990s, people of the 25 to 34-year age group were most likely to have experimented with cocaine; within this age group, about 30 percent of men had tried cocaine at least once, and about 21 percent of women had tried cocaine at least once. Cocaine dependence also was most prevalent in this age group: it affected about 4 percent of all persons aged 25 to 34. Among cocaine users aged 25 to 34, an estimated 16 percent had become dependent on it. For those 18 to 29 living in the United States, the best available estimate for the risk of developing alcohol abuse or dependence between one year and the next is about 2 to 4 percent. The risk of succumbing to alcohol abuse or dependence for males aged 18 to 29 is an estimated 6 percent per year, as compared with about 1 percent per year for females aged 18 to 29. Males between the ages of 18 and 25 are at especially high risk of succumbing to alcohol abuse or dependence. These same subgroups of young adults are at especially high risk of becoming dependent on psychoactive drugs such as marijuana or cocaine. When all the abuse or dependence syndromes attributable to nonmedical use of these drugs are considered, the estimated risk for males aged 18 to 29 of developing clinically recognizable drug problem is estimated at 4.4 percent per year; for females aged 18 to 20, it is about 1.6 percent. For most people who drink, alcohol is a pleasant accompaniment to social activities. Moderate alcohol use-up to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women and older people-is not harmful for most adults. (A standard drink is one 12-ounce bottle or can of either beer or wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.) Nonetheless, a large number of people get into serious trouble because of their drinking. Currently, nearly 14 million Americans-1 in every 13 adults-abuse alcohol or are alcoholic. Several million more adults engage in risky drinking that could lead to alcohol problems. These patterns include binge drinking and heavy drinking on a regular basis. In addition, 53 percent of men and women in the United States report that one or more of their close relatives have a drinking problem. |
Addiction Treatment
Addiction treatment is needed when an individual finds that they have developed a drug or alcohol addiction which they are not able to successful end on their own. With the help of addiction treatment, addicted individual can get help to control their drug taking behavior and live happy and successful lives. There are several addiction treatment options available for drug and alcohol addiction. Some of these options include self-help groups, counseling, drug rehabilitation programs (in and out-patient), and residential treatment facilities. Each of these differ
in their aims and outcomes and elements of these addiction treatment options are often
combined.
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.
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.
Abstinence
Abstinence is the act or practice of refraining from indulging a desire. The type of abstinence we are referring to here is abstinence from drugs and alcohol. This term has two connotations when it comes to abstaining from drugs. The first refers to drug or alcohol treatment programs that aim to help an individual stop using drugs or alcohol for the rest of their lives. The time abstinence is also used in drug education and prevention. It refers to trying to stop children from ever using drugs.
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.
