Facts
Unfortunately, there are not nearly enough treatment programs nationwide to accommodate all of those who want help with conquering their addictions. The Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse estimates that of the roughly three million addicts who want treatment, only about half—one and a half million people—will get it. Most of the country's approximately five thousand treatment programs have long waiting lists, and some are so crowded they do not even bother to keep waiting lists. In federal prisons, where an estimated 75 to 80 percent of the inmates use drugs, only about 20 percent get help. Crime statistics show that half of these inmates were under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed the crimes for which they are serving time. This leads some experts to propose that before being released or paroled, a prisoner should successfully complete a drug treatment program. Other experts support the concept of treatment on demand for any drug addict. They are urging the federal government to increase funding for treatment programs so that no addict who wants help will be turned away. The 1994 National Drug Control Strategy, the official policy statement of the administration of President Bill Clinton, lists as one of its goals to expand treatment capacity and services and to increase treatment effectiveness so that those who need treatment can receive it. "Our goal is treatment on demand," says Lee P. Brown, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Many states have established laws that affect an offender's vehicle or license plates while his or her license is suspended due to a DUI conviction. Some states currently permit vehicles owned by people convicted of a DUI, and certain other offenses related to impaired driving, to be immobilized, forfeited, or sold. The annual number of new cocaine users has generally increased over time. In 1975 there were 30,000 new users. The number increased from 300,000 in 1986 to 361,000 in 2000. Adolescents who take drugs may move on to other drugs as they grow older. They may seek different drugs that cost less or are easier to obtain, or keep trying different drugs to get the effect that they want. Often, peers introduce each other to new substances. Multiple-drug use also occurs when an individual tries to counteract the effect of one drug with the effect of another. For example, cocaine may produce feelings of anxiety, so the user will then take tranquilizers to calm down. |
Intervention
An intervention is when a group of loved ones and/or a trained intervention counselor meets with the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down their denial and motivating them to immediately seek drug addiction treatment. Often, individuals in the midst of drug addiction engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help. When an intervention is held a moment of clarity is created
for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
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.
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.
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.
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.
