Facts
Developed in the 1890s as a supposedly safe alternative to the opiate painkillers of the day, heroin was declared "a heroine in the war against pain" by its manufacturers, and aggressively marketed internationally. The arrival of such a drug was welcome news for a world that had for thousands of years relied on heroin's parent drug, opium, for pain relief and other medicinal purposes. However, opium had destructive properties as well. With the invention of heroin, it seemed that a miracle drug had finally been found that dramatically increased opium's pain-relieving and medicinal properties, while at the same time making its legacy of addiction, overdose, and unpleasant side effects a thing of the past. It soon became evident, however, that instead of alleviating the risks opium use had posed, heroin presented even more dangerous problems of its own. According to the 1999 National Household Survey, marijuana is by far the most commonly used drug, with 11.1 million current users. This means that three out of four illegal drug users currently use marijuana--in addition to whatever other drugs they are using. The level of marijauna use remained relatively constant throughout the 1990s. When controlled substances such as MARIJUANA, cocaine, and heroin, as well as INHALANT drugs, were considered, it was found that an estimated 55 percent of respondents had used these drugs on at least once occasion, 42 percent during the year prior to the survey. About 26 percent had taken one or more of these drugs during the month prior to the survey. The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse reported that an estimated 34 to 37 percent of the population aged 12 and older had engaged in illicit drug use at lease once: this amounts to about 75 to 81 million drug takers. The number of recently active drug takers was lower; they represented 6 to 7 percent of the population. According to the National Comorbidity Survey estimates, out of every seven persons who had tried marijuana, cocaine, or other controlled substances and inhalant drugs, one had developed drug dependence (14.7%). In light of the fact that about 51 percent of this survey population of 15-to 54-year-olds reported a history of illicit drug use, the resulting estimate for the prevalence of dependence on controlled substances was 7.5 percent. That is, in the total population of individuals (including both drug users and never users), about one in fourteen had fulfilled the criteria for drug dependence. From 1997 to 2000 cocaine was the most common drug reported in emergency room episodes. |
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 Rehabilitation
Drug rehabilitation is a place or program that an individual enters to treat a drug or alcohol addiction. Through therapy and education, the individual is restored to their former non-drug using self. They are then able to re-enter society clean and sober. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. Some of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, problems with the law, and problems at work. Also, there are several different types of drug rehabilitation programs available: inpatient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term.
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.
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.
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.
