Facts
Over the last ten years, cocaine, chemically altered into the form of crack, has become easily available to young people. Crack cocaine is sold in chunks or rocks for as little as five dollars for a small vial full. It is a smokable, less expensive, and more potent form of cocaine. Its effects reach the brain in just a few seconds. ." It is said that once crack is used two or three times, it is almost impossible to stop. The user feels like crack is as vital to survival as air, food, and water. Between 1994 and 1995 cocaine/crack use among teenagers increased 166 percent with 7.1 percent of high school seniors and 6.5 percent of sophomores using it. According to information from the Cocaine Hotline, 44 percent of adolescent cocaine/crack users have sold drugs to support their habit, 31 percent have stolen from friends and family, and 14 percent have attempted suicide. One of the most important steps in the recovery process is to realize personal honesty is important. After making this realization, it is then possible to acknowledge weakness and fears, then move forward to overcoming them. Only through this realization and process can an addiction truly be overcome. Remember, you are a unique individual and are no less worthy than anyone else in what you deserve from life. If you hesitated to answer, or answered negatively to any of the questions above, please keep reading. You create your own tomorrow today. Changing a thought process or your inner expectations is essential to recovery. Illicit drug use patterns tend to change over time; some suggest that there are cycles in popular drug use. The history of opium use for medicinal purposes dates back to ancient times. Morphine, the chief active ingredient of opium, was isolated in 1803 and began to be used as a painkiller and calming agent by U.S. physicians about 1832. Opiate use increased in the mid-nineteenth century with the rise in the opium trade with China, the advent of the hypodermic needle, and the liberal use of opiates by physicians during the Civil War. Heroin, a semi-synthetic narcotic derived from morphine, was first synthesized in 1874 and was offered as a medical remedy for coughs and chest pains around 1900. The amount of alcohol in the body at a given time can be measured during this process of absorption and removal by taking a direct blood sample, analyzing alcohol excretion through a urine sample, or by measuring the alcohol component of the breath. Chemical sobriety tests are used to determine a person's Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) either directly (i.e. blood sample) or indirectly (i.e. urine and breath analysis). Varying state standards set guidelines to determine legal BAC levels for driving. In most states, a person with a BAC between .08 and .10 is considered legally intoxicated and should not be driving. |
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
