Facts
Dependents use of drug is the most important thing in a family life. Drug use in not the cause of family problems, it is denial which is the root. Blaming others, don't make mention of it, covering up, alibis, loyalty of family enables. Nobody may discuss problem outside the family. Nobody says what they feel or think. Withdrawal syndrome: (abstinence syndrome) A complex state, involving both physical and psychological features, that appears when individuals who show DEPENDENCE on a DRUG have their drug supply terminated. The effects of withdrawal vary with the types of drug that has been abused. Sweating, diarhhoea, tremors, temperature changes and weight loss are relatively common features of withdrawal. DRUG CRAVING is often present also. The symptoms of withdrawal may be so bad that the avoidance of them becomes a motivating factor in drug use. Whatever the drug, regular use can lead to addiction. And once an addiction has formed, if the drug is taken away, the person will develop withdrawal symptoms. These are unpleasant feelings that can range from a mild headache to a full-blown seizure. Other withdrawal symptoms include dizziness, nausea, and nervousness. Unless withdrawal from a drug is managed carefully, such as in a professionally supervised drug treatment program, users will feel strong cravings to take the drug again. All they can think about is stopping the unpleasant sensations. But taking a drug again after a period of withdrawal leaves a person susceptible to an overdose because the body no longer has any tolerance for the drug. An overdose can be a serious medical incident. An overdose of heroin, for example, often results in death because it damages the heart and lungs. An overdose of amphetamines, on the other hand, rarely leads to immediate death. But over time amphetamines, especially when injected, can lead to heart problems, lung disease, and diseases of the blood vessels. Hence the common drug culture warning, "speed kills." Ecstasy affects your brain. Ecstasy is often used at all-night dance parties ("raves"), nightclubs, and concerts. Ecstasy can damage the neurons in your brain, impairing your senses, memory, judgment, and coordination. Ecstasy affects your body. Ecstasy is a stimulant that increases your heart rate and blood pressure and can lead to heart or kidney failure. |
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.
Addict
An addict is an individual who has a compulsive urge to use drugs, to the point where they feel they have no effective choice but to continue use. An addict will continue their self destructive behaviors in order to feel good or to avoid
feeling bad. It can dominate their mind, and keep them coming back for more. The addiction can be
different for each addict, depending on their vice and the kind of person they
are.
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.
Therapeutic Community
An effective therapeutic community attends to the many needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Care given at a therapeutic community addresses the individual's drug use and associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal problems. Also, a therapeutic community will continue to be flexible and provide ongoing assessments of the individual's needs, which may change during the course of care.
Remaining in care at a therapeutic community for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness. The time depends on an individual's needs. For most people, the significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment.
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).
