Facts
Alcohol and Sex. Alcohol consumption is also more likely to lead to risky sexual behavior: high school students who drink are four times more likely to have had sexual intercourse and twice as likely to have had four or more partners than non-drinkers, behaviors which increase the risk for sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Project Towards No Drug Abuse (Project TND). This indicated prevention intervention targets high school age youth who attend alternative or traditional high schools. The goal is to prevent the transition from drug use to drug abuse, through considering the developmental issues faced by older teens. Despite the increased use of other drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, opioid abuse continues to be a major problem in the United States. Numerous investigators have reported the extremely high incidence of obstetrical and medical complications among street addicts, as well as the increase in medical conditions and death among their newborn infants. Insufficient data exist for measuring the long-term effects of maternal drug usage. Controversy exists on how best to prevent anti treat the adverse effects of addiction. It now seems clear, however, that providing comprehensive multidisciplinary drug-treatment services and prenatal care for addicts will significantly reduce the medical and psychological conditions and the death rate in both mothers and infants. Recommendations for treatment for drug-dependent women are multifaceted. The pregnant woman who abuses drugs must be designated as high risk; she warrants specialized care in a perinatal center where she can be provided with comprehensive addictive and obstetrical care and psychosocial counseling. Care must be provided in a supportive, proactive, and nonjudgmental fashion. The women must know that sharing of confidential information with health-care providers will not render them liable to criminal prosecution under state law statutes that define drug addiction in pregnancy as a form of fetal abuse. Modern federal drug control legislation may be said to have begun with an 1887 act to keep aspects of the Chinese opium traffic from the U.S. and prohibit the involvement of U.S. citizens in that traffic. In 1914, Congress enacted the Harrison Narcotics Act (P.L. 63-223) to regulate traffic in narcotics and other drugs, require doctors and pharmacists to keep detailed records of drug distribution, and mandate the purchase of tax stamps to ensure oversight of drug sales. Although the Act was not specifically designed to eliminate drug use except for medicinal purposes, it did provide information on the sale of these drugs and it served as the principal drug control statute until 1970. |
Sobriety
Sobriety means the moderation in or abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs. When an individual with an addiction problem enters drug rehabilitation, their main goal is to attain long term sobriety. Unfortunately, sometimes drug addicts and alcoholics find they are able to sustain short periods of sobriety followed by a drug or alcohol relapse. This is why attending a drug or alcohol rehab will help the individual maintain their focus on sobriety. Often, it is only by getting help that individuals with severe drug addiction problems are able to achieve lasting sobriety.
Tolerance
Tolerance to a drug takes place when an individual is exposed to the same drug repeatedly and begins to build up an resistance to the drugs effects. The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user. These cravings for the drug are the result of its impact on the individual's memory with feelings of pleasantness and euphoria which the individual has come to associate with the taking of the drug.
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.
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.
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).
