ADDICTION
Addiction isone of the biggest diseases of the world. More
than millions of the individual are struggling against
addiction. It takes away the happiness of the people by
avoiding them to get what they want and many of the people
were also not able to take correct decision. According to the
recent studies it has been found that adolescent are more
vulnerable toaddiction. Addiction is that type of diseases
whose rehabilitation is very difficult. As we know prevention
is better than cure so we can prevent our self from getting
addicted by notliving under peer pressure.
WHAT S DRUG ADDICTION?
Addiction is the habitual, physiological, psychological
dependence on a substance or practice which is beyond
voluntary control. A person who is habituated to a substance
or a practice a harmfulone, is called an addict. Addiction is
achronic, progressive and sometime fatal disorder with both
genetic and environmental roots. It manifests as a
compulsion that derives on individual to continue to behave
in a way that is harmful to self and loved ones, despite an
intense desire tohalt that behavior. It is adisease of «more"
active addict needs an increasing amount of substance to
get high and is unable tocease usage without painful
withdrawal symptoms.
This is true whether the addictive substance is
a drug or tobacco and alcohol or behavior. Medically.
Addiction is of three types: Tobacco addiction, Alcohol
addition, & Drugaddiction.
TYPES OF DRUG ABUSE:
* HEROIN:
" As a destructive apioid, heroin can lead to seizures,
psychosis,and hallucinations when it is abused.
Heroin injections can alsospread diseases such as
human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis.
" This drug is known to cause serious health issues
when it is abused because it interferes with the
brains receptons.
" Once heroin enters the brain, it isconverted tomorphine
and binds rapidly to opicid receptons. With heroin, the
rush is usually accompanied by a warm flushing of the
skin, dry mouth and a heavy feeling in the extremities.
COCAINE:
" Cocaine is a very dangerous stimulant even when taken in
smallamounts. It includes euphoria, increases blood
pressures, and accelerates the heart rate.
" The drug may lead to fatal strokes or attacks for same
users.
Cocaine also known as coke is a strong stimulant most
frequently used as recreational drug.
" Cocaine, also known as coke, is a strong stimulant moist
frequently used as a recreational drug.
" Cocaine has a small number of accepted medical uses
such as numbing and decreasing bleeding during nasal
surgery.
" It is commonly snarled, inhaled as smoke, or dissolved
and injected into a vein.
CRACK:
A potent form of cocaine, crack is often smoked and
suddenly creates an intense euphonic sensation for a
short while.
" Crack has turned into a problem because it is cheap and
easy to buy and use. Abusing the substance, however,can
lead to immediate addiction.
Abusers are also at risk of suffering heart attacks and
strokes with every use. Long-term use can cause liver,
kidney, and lungs damage.
COCANEjCRACK SEF
The short-term physiological effects of cocaine include
constricted blood vessels, dilated pubis, and increased
temperature, heart rate, and blood pressures.
CAUSES OF ADDICTION:
Druguse is often voluntary in the first instance. The
development of afulladdiction occurs througha variety of
circumstances.
However, the brainchanges during asubstance-related
disorder inways that can take a long time to bring back to
healthy state.
A person whose brains reward circuitry has not altered as a
result of addiction experiences positive feelings in relation to
generally rewarding behaviors. Such as exercising, being
with family, or consuming delicious food. These should all
makes a person feel good.
Some of the causes of addiction are:
1. Peer pressure
2. Stress and depression
3. Lack of education
4. Religious rituals
EFFECTS OF ADDICTION:
Fatigue- the patient is tired most of the time.
Memory loss - especially the patient'sshort-term
memory.
" Eye muscles- the eye muscles can become significantly
weaker.
Liver diseases-the patient has a considerably higher
chance of developing hepatitis, and cyanosis of the liver is
an irreversible and progressive condition.
" Heart problems- regular heaving drinking can lead to
cardiomyopathy (damaged heart muscle). Heart failure
and stroke.
" Menstruation alcoholism will usually stop menstruation
or disrupt it.
" Cancer - alcoholics have a much higher risk of developing
several cancers, including cancer of the mouth, esophagus,
liver, colon, rectum, breast, prostate and pharynx.
" Suicide - rates among people who are alcohol-dependent
or who abuse alcohol are much higher than among other
people.
EFFECTS OF LUNGS:
Drug use can lead to a variety of respiratory problems,
smoking cigarettes, for exanmple, has been shown to cause
bronchitis,emphysema, and lung cancer. Marijuana
chronic can also cause respiratory problems, including
chronic bronchitis, smoking crack cocaine can also cause
lung damage and severe respiratory problems. The use of
same drugs, such as opioids, may cause breathing to slow,
black air from entering the lungs, or make asthma
symptoms worse.
PREVENTIONS AND CONTROL:
Prevention is better than cure" is also true here.
Tobacco, drug/alcohol abuses are more during young age
and adolescence. The remedial measure should be taken in
time. The following measures would be particularly useful
for prevention and control of alcohol and addiction during
adolescents.
1. Avoid undue peer pressure.
2. Education and counseling.
3. Seeking help from parents and peers.
4. Looking for danger signs.
5. Seeking professional and medical helps.
TREATMENT OFADDICTION:
Do-it-yourself- experts say about 30l% of people with on
alcohol problem manage to reduce their drinking or abstain
without seeking professional help. There is a great deal of
material in bookS and the internet that may help the self
helper.
Counseling- a qualified counselor can help the alcoholic talk
through his/her problems and then devise a plan to tackle
the drinking.CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) is
commonly used to treat alcohol dependency.
Detoxification- the patient takes some medication to prevent
withdrawal symptoms (delirium tremens) which many
alcoholics experience when they give up drinking.
SCENARIOOF DRUG ADDICTION
SCENARo OF DRUG
ADDICTION
CONCLUSION:
Drug use and addiction causea lot of disease and
disability in the world.
Recent advances in neuroscience may help improve
policies toreduce the harm that the use of tobacco,
alcohol, and other psychoactivedrugs act on society.
This report is concerned with the implications of drug
for workplace safety and productivity. If examines
the prevalence of alcohol and other drug use by the U.S.
work force, theimpact of such use on job-related
behavior. And the effectiveness of workplace drug
intervention programs.
Thisemphasis on workplace productivity rather than
socialconsequences affects the purpose, methods, and
evaluation criteria used in this report, just as it often
affects researchers investigating these issues.
