Keep your Son or Daughter from Drugs

We truly hope that you will discover that your teen is not using drugs. If you received negative or positive results, please continue to test on a frequent and random basis. A home testing program really does give kids a "peer pressure free" to say "NO...my parents drug test me".

Results of a positive drug test should not be used merely to punish your child. Drug and alcohol use very often leads to addiction, and punishment alone may not necessarily halt this progression. However, the road to addiction can be blocked by timely intervention and appropriate treatment.

Cocaine Effects

Cocaine benzoylmethylecgonine (INN) is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant. The name comes from "coca" in addition to the alkaloid suffix -ine, forming cocaine. It is a stimulant of the central nervous system, an appetite suppressant, and a topical anesthetic. Specifically, it is a serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor, which mediates functionality of these neurotransmitters as an exogenous catecholamine transporter ligand. Because of the way it affects the mesolimbic reward pathway, cocaine is addictive.

How If Overdose

Many street drugs have no therapeutic benefits. Any use of these drugs is a form of drug abuse.
Legitimate medications can be abused by people who take more than the recommended dose or who intentionally take them with alcohol or other drugs.
Drug interactions may also produce adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to let your doctor know about all the drugs you are taking, including vitamins and other over-the-counter medications.

Rehab and Threatment for druggers

REHAB or Drug rehabilitation is a term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment, for dependency on psychoactive substances such as alcohol, prescription drugs, and so-called street drugs such as cocaine, heroin or amphetamines. The general intent is to enable the patient to cease substance abuse, in order to avoid the psychological, legal, financial, social, and physical consequences that can be caused, especially by extreme abuse.

Types of treatment

Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

Many people drink a small or moderate amount of alcohol to relax and enhance their social activities. Using alcohol in this way is not harmful for most adults.

However, people whose use of alcohol has negative effects on any aspect of their lives, including health, relationships, work or school and money, are considered to have an alcohol problem. These problems can range from mild to severe. The severity of an alcohol problem depends on factors including the type of alcohol you drink, how much you drink, and how long you have been drinking.

Experts divide levels of alcohol use and abuse into the following categories in terms of risk for developing problems:

Type of Alcohol Threatment Program

Alcohol Treatment Programs - Medical Model

For alcohol treatment programs that use the medical model, several kinds of medications can be used in order to treat the withdrawal symptoms from alcohol. Benzodiazepines (Valium®, Librium®) are sometimes used during the first days after a person stops drinking to help him or her safely withdraw from alcohol. Because these two medications are highly addictive, they are not used beyond the first few days of treatment.
Other medications such as naltrexone (ReVia™) are used to help a person maintain sobriety. A medication called disulfiram (Antabuse®), discourages drinking by making the person feel sick if he or she drinks alcohol.

Heroin Dangers and Overdose

Overdose

The biggest risk is death from overdose. It's impossible to judge the purity of street heroin. Many accidental overdoses have occurred when a batch of particularly pure heroin is released onto the streets, overwhelming the built-up tolerances of regular users.

Smoking or snorting, rather than injecting, reduces the chance of overdosing but does not eliminate it.

What is heroin

Heroin (say: her-uh-win) comes from the opium poppy, a flower that grows in Asia, Mexico, and South America. Pure heroin is a white powder that tastes really bad. Some heroin is dark brown, and black tar heroin is either sticky or hard and looks like roofing tar.
Heroin belongs to a group of pain-relieving drugs called narcotics. Although certain narcotics such as codeine and morphine are legal if prescribed (given) by doctors to treat pain, such as when someone has surgery or breaks a bone, heroin is an illegal narcotic because it is has dangerous side effects and is very addictive.

Sometimes Called: horse, smack, big H, black tar, caballo (Spanish), 8-ball (heroin mixed with crack cocaine), junk, TNT

Heroin and Consequently

What is Heroin

Heroin or Putau is a low-level form of heroin. Heroin comes from opium poppies, a flower in hot and dry climate. Flower produces a sticky substance that became the forerunner of heroin, opium, morphine and codeine. Heroin is a depressant. Depressant drugs do not immediately make you feel depressed. These substances slow down the messages from the brain to the body and vice versa. Some other names of these substances is powder, white.

Moderate Drinking Benefits Health

U.S. Government: Moderate Drinking Benefits Health

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has completed an extensive review of current scientific knowledge about the health effects of moderate alcohol consumption. It found that the lowest death rate from all causes occurs at the level of one to two drinks per day. That is, moderate drinkers have the greatest longevity.

The NIAAA’s conclusion that moderate drinking is beneficial to heart health will be included in the next revision of the dietary guidelines to be issued by the government.

Impact of Drug for the Human Soul

Some teenagers in the world really knows what impact that may result from the use druug. Actually there are important implications for adolescents related to their mental or psychic.


Direct Impact of Drug For Psycho / Mental Man

1. Cause mental depression.

Dry drunk Syndrome

Being active in your addiction sets up many trains of thought, attitudes, feelings, and actions that are problematic. Simply removing the alcohol or drugs without changing these underlying factors will produce a dry drunk syndrome. The dry drunk really refers to a condition and not the person. It is important to recognize a reversion back to our old ways of thinking and acting, or lack of progress in moving forward in recovery.

It is easy to see how the dry drunk syndrome is simply nothing more then reverting back to the way it was when we were active in our use. If you are starting to notice some of the attitudes discussed creeping back into your life, is target time to start paying attention to the possibility of relapse and start turning your life in sobriety and recovery around. The dry drunk syndrome is a bright red flashing warning sign for relapse.

Environmental factors for adolescent mistake

Environmental conditions and have friends who are users of alcohol, tobacco or drugs, is probably the strongest drivers of the behavior of the use of chemicals by the teens. Possibility of abuse is higher again in the community occur when the alcohol and illegal drugs cheaper and easily available. 

Other risk factors that also contributed to the abuse of chemical substances including poor school performance, lack of treatment of ADHD, and behavioral irregularities.

Drug Abuse and Addiction in the World

Drug abuse and addiction are a major burden to society. Estimates of the total overall costs of substance abuse in the United

States -- including health- and crime-related costs as well as losses in productivity -- exceed half a trillion dollars annually. This includes approximately $181 billion for illicit drugs, $168 billion for tobacco, and $185 billion for alcohol. Staggering as these numbers are, however, they do not fully describe the breadth of deleterious public health -- and safety -- implications, which include family disintegration, loss of employment, failure in school, domestic violence, child abuse, and other crimes.

Alcohol Abuse

Alcoholism, also known as alcohol dependence, is a disabling addictive disorder. It is characterized by compulsive and uncontrolled consumption of alcohol despite its negative effects on the drinker's health, relationships, and social standing. Like other drug addictions, alcoholism is medically defined as a treatable disease. The term "alcoholism" is a widely used term first coined in 1849 by Magnus Huss, but in medicine the term was replaced by "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence" in the 1980s DSM III. Similarly in 1979 an expert World Health Organisation committee disfavoured the use of "alcoholism" as a diagnostic entity, preferring the category of "alcohol dependence syndrome". In the 19th and early 20th centuries, alcohol dependence was called dipsomania before the term "alcoholism" replaced it.

Alcohol can briefly produce a pleasant and relaxed state of the mind. However, alcohol problems and depression commonly occur together.

There are several reasons for this.

 
1. Both alcohol problems and depression are extremely common. They may occur together completely independently. 

2. People with depression sometimes use alcohol as a form of self-medication, for example either in an attempt to cheer themselves up, or sometimes to help them sleep. Although in small quantities alcohol can briefly lift mood, if used to try to cope with a depressive illness, problems arise. Tolerance to the effects of alcohol can lead to individuals needing it in larger quantities to have an effect. 

3. Alcohol in large quantities, whether taken to treat a depression or not, produces a depressant effect on people's mood.

In the second stage of alcoholism, the need to drink becomes more severe. During this stage, moreover, the person with the drinking problem typically starts to drink earlier in the day.

As tolerance increases, however, the problem drinker consumes alcohol not for emotional stress relief but because of his or her dependence on alcohol.

During this stage, while the alcoholic's loss of control has not yet become noticeable on a regular basis, it is, nonetheless, sporadically observed by others such as family members, friends, and coworkers.

It is interesting to note that a key aspect in this stage of the disease is that the problem drinker's physical problems start to become more frequent and intensified.

The following list typifies some of the drinking problems and classic alcoholic behaviors suffered by problem drinkers in the second stage of alcoholism:

    *  Sneaking extra drinks before social events
    * Feelings of guilt and shame
    * Drinking because of dependence rather than for stress relief
    * Increasing physical problems
    * More frequent blackouts
    * Blaming problems on others and on things external to themselves
    * Sporadic loss of control
    * Unsuccessful attempts to stop drinking
    * Chronic hangovers
    * Increasing tolerance
    * Denial

So if you find alcohol syndrome symptoms around you, you should immediately alert. we do not want to be part of them, right?

Keep your child

Do you have a friend struggling with a drug problem that’s spiraled out of control? If so, you may feel isolated, helpless, or ashamed. Or perhaps you’re worried about a friend or family member’s drug use. In either case, you’re not alone. Addiction is a problem that many people face.

Drug abuse includes the use of illegal drugs—such as marijuana, methamphetamines, cocaine, heroin, or other "street drugs"—and the abuse of legal prescription and nonprescription drugs. Some people use drugs to get a "high" or to relieve stress and emotional problems.

Drugs like ecstasy (MDMA), ketamine, GHB, Rohypnol, and LSD, which are known as "club drugs," may be found at all-night dances, raves, trances, or clubs. Club drug use accounts for increasing numbers of drug overdoses and emergency room visits. Inhalants like nitrous oxide may also be used at these clubs. Drugs come in different forms and can be used in different ways. They can be smoked, snorted, inhaled, taken as pills, put in liquids or food, put in the rectum or the vagina, or injected with a needle. Teens and young adults may be at risk for becoming victims of sexual assault or violent behavior in situations where these drugs are used.

Some nonprescription medicines, such as cold medicines that have dextromethorphan as an ingredient, are being abused by teens and young adults as a way to get a "high." Glue, shoe polish, cleaning fluids, and aerosols, are common household products with ingredients that can also be used to get a "high."

In the United States and Canada, approximately 40% of adults will use an illegal drug at some time during their lives. This does not include the use of alcohol or prescription medicines. Many people abuse more than one illegal substance at a time.

Drug dependence or addiction occurs when you develop a physical or emotional "need" for a drug. You are unable to control your use of a drug despite the negative impact it has on your life. You may not be aware that you have become dependent on a drug until you try to stop taking it. Drug withdrawal can cause uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous symptoms. The usual treatment is to gradually reduce the dose of the drug until you can completely stop using it.

Addiction is a complex disorder characterized by compulsive drug use. People who are addicted feel an overwhelming, uncontrollable need for drugs or alcohol, even in the face of negative consequences. This self-destructive behavior can be hard to understand. Why continue doing something that’s hurting you? Why is it so hard to stop?

The path to drug addiction starts with experimentation. You or your loved one may have tried drugs out of curiosity, because friends were doing it, or in an effort to erase another problem. At first, the substance seems to solve the problem or make life better, so you use the drug more and more.


So the choice to become a drug user only depend on our hearts. For that keep your children from these dangers, especially if your child will soon be adult
 

Welcome in

Hi, I am Margareth. I am an employee at one of the export-oriented manufacturing industry in the World. I want to have a blog that tells about the dangers of drug and alcohol use for adolescents. Because today the majority of all teenagers in the world don't know the danger of drug and alcohol.


Do you agree with me?



Maybe your brother, your friends, your neighbors, or you do not realize how very precious our lives. When this has been pretty much affected by drug and alcohol harm.
