Facts
Because marijuana changes how the brain works, it is classified as a psychoactive or mind-altering drug. Marijuana contains THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), its main active chemical, in addition to more than 400 other chemicals. THC is absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs including the brain. Drug tests can detect THC several days after a smoking session. In ongoing users, THC traces can be detected for weeks after they have stopped smoking. Alcohol abuse raises susceptibility to infectious diseases. Alcohol use decreases the body's defenses against bacteria and viruses, making you much more susceptible to serious disease. Evidence is growing that because alcohol weakens the immune system, it may be a cofactor in the development of AIDS. The rate of drug users who fatally overdose on methadone — a prescription that curbs heroin addiction — is skyrocketing at an alarming pace, a new Justice Department study shows. The report, released Wednesday, found that methadone-related deaths rose nationwide from 786 in 1999 to 3,849 in 2004 — a 390 percent increase. By comparison, people who died from cocaine overdoses rose by 43 percent, from 3,822 to 5,461 over the five-year period, which reflects the latest statistics available. Methadone suppresses symptoms that drug users experience when going through withdrawal from heroin and other opiates. Over the last decade, it also has been used as a cheaper alternative to pain relievers like OxyContin and Vicodin, which are increasingly being abused as well. Lifetime nonmedical pain reliever prevalence among youths aged 12 to 17 increased from 2001 (9.6 percent) to 2002 (11.2 percent), continuing an increasing trend from 1989 (1.2 percent). Among young adults aged 18 to 25, the rate increased from 19.4 percent in 2001 to 22.1 percent in 2002. The young adult rate had been 6.8 percent in 1992. |
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.
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 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.
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).
