Facts
mood and emotions, and brain scans have revealed holes the size of golf balls in the frontal lobes of occasional (recreational) users. Since the drugs affect the heart and blood vessels in such drastic ways, even a healthy teenager can suffer a heart attack or stroke the first time he or she uses cocaine or crack. There are many anti-drunk driving organizations in the United States, all with more or less the same goal: to prevent alcohol and drug-related traffic incidents. Roughly 33% of Americans are involved in an alcohol-related crash at some point in their lives. In 2006, the number of people who died in a traffic crash involving alcohol accounted for 41% of the total number of traffic fatalities. That same year, 1.46 million arrests were made concerning people driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The best known of all the anti-drunk driving organization is Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). The group, a nonprofit organization based in Irving, Texas, also has a branch in Canada. This initiative was started in 1980 with goals to stop drunk driving, support the victims of drunk driving crimes, and prevent underage drinking. Over the years, the organization has expanded its work greatly, especially in the area of preventing underage drinking. Since the group's inception, MADD has helped pass thousands of anti-drunk driving laws and made the use of designated drivers acceptable amongst mainstream society. While the crystal meth user is carelessly, most times unknowingly, destroying their lives, their health is also a large issue. A crystal user's health quickly deteriorates. Using crystal causes many biological, physiological and psychological changes to occur. These changes range from minor to life threatening. Some of these affects are: erosion of the teeth (from drip in back of the throat or lack of calcium); damage to the retinas (due to excessive dilation); a hole developed in the septum; vein blow out (when injected); damage to esophagus and/or stomach lining (when swallowed); Depression (which can be long or short term); chronic fatigue; paranoid or delusional thinking; increased heart rate; malnourishment; extreme and rapid weight loss; blood pressure and risk of stroke; aggressive and psychotic behavior; irreversible damage to blood vessels in the brain; liver, kidney or lung failure; death (by overdosing or by damaging the heart-long term). In addition permanent damage to the brain's "pleasure center" can and in most instances does occur. Despite its widespread use, marijuana has not yet been admitted to the company of accepted social drugs such as alcohol and nicotine. Laws remain that prescribe penalties for its possession, use, and sale. In some jurisdictions, possession and use of small amounts of the drug is a civil crime punishable only by a small fine. Despite the liberalization of the law in these areas, they have not been overrun with eager marijuana users. Perhaps the reason is that in most other jurisdictions, laws against its use are rarely enforced. Enforcement can be capricious, however, when employed in situations in which more serious crimes cannot be adequately documented. |
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".
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.
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 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.
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.
