Stop drug abuse
Some Imformation about drug abuse
• Drugs contain chemicals that tap into the brain’s communication
system and disrupt the way nerve cells normally send, receive, and
process information. There are at least two ways that drugs cause
this disruption .
• As a person continues to abuse drugs, the brain adapts to the
overwhelming surges in dopamine by producing less dopamine or
by reducing the number of dopamine receptors in the reward
circuit. The result is a lessening of dopamine’s impact on the reward
circuit, which reduces the abuser’s ability to enjoy not only the
drugs but also other events in life that previously brought pleasure.
This decrease compels the addicted person to keep abusing drugs in
an attempt to bring the dopamine function back to normal, but
now larger amounts of the drug are required to achieve the same
dopamine high—an effect known as tolerance.
How to stop a drug abuse
Seek therapy or counseling .
Maintain a life style that makes you
happy .
Have thing in your life that you care
deeply about .
Be aware of your family’s history with
substance abuse.
How the drug affect on society
The negative consequences of drug abuse affect not only individuals who
abuse drugs but also their families and friends, various businesses, and
government resources. Although many of these effects cannot be quantified,
ONDCP recently reported that in 2002, the economic cost of drug abuse to the
United States was $180.9 billion.
The most obvious effects of drug abuse--which are manifested in the
individuals who abuse drugs--include ill health, sickness and, ultimately, death.
Particularly devastating to an abuser's health is the contraction of needle borne
illnesses including hepatitis and HIV/AIDS through injection drug use. NSDUH
data indicate that in 2004 over 3.5 million individuals aged 18 and older
admitted to having injected an illicit drug during their lifetime. Of these
individuals, 14 percent (498,000) were under the age of 25. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 123,235 adults living with AIDS in
the United States in 2003 contracted the disease from injection drug use, and
the survival rate for those persons is less than that for persons who contract
AIDS from any other mode of transmission. CDC further reports that more than
25,000 people died in 2003 from drug-induced effects.
How a drug abuse prevent
Abuse of drugs, including tobacco and alcohol, kills more than
half a million Americans each year. They die from overdoses,
accidents, illness, and other causes.
Drug abuse keeps people from having the best lives they can.
Drug abuse can hurt your health, your ability to work, and your
relationships.
Treatment works. It helps people recover from addiction.
But the best protection from the dangers of drugs is to not start
in the first place.
