Club drugs are a pharmacologically diverse group of psychoactive substances like GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, and ecstasy that are often abused by teens and young adults at parties and nightclubs. They can cause serious health issues and adverse brain effects, and some can even be life-threatening. Ecstasy is currently the most popular club drug and produces feelings of empathy and closeness but can also cause increased energy, anxiety, and potential overdose issues. GHB is a central nervous system depressant that was approved for treating narcolepsy but any non-medical use is illegal. Ketamine is used as a veterinary anesthetic and produces feelings of detachment from one's surroundings. Treatment options
Hallucinogens like LSD and psilocybin distort sensory perceptions and were widely used in experiments from the 1940s-1960s. LSD was first synthesized in 1938 and can produce hallucinations with very small amounts. Effects include vivid colors, anxiety, increased heart rate, and extreme emotions. Treatment involves detox and therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and support groups. Marijuana is derived from cannabis plants and smoked or steeped in tea. It causes euphoria, time distortion, and enhanced senses but can also relieve pain. Effective treatments include relapse prevention and support groups which have reduced marijuana use after treatment.
This document discusses different types of sedatives, stimulants, and other drugs that affect the central nervous system. It defines sedatives as substances that induce calmness and sleep by reducing irritability and excitement. Common sedatives are benzodiazepines which enhance the neurotransmitter GABA, resulting in sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant effects. Stimulants discussed include caffeine, nicotine, cocaine, methamphetamines, and ephedrine. They temporarily increase alertness but can be addictive and cause psychological and physical harm with misuse. Solvents like glue and paint thinners are also abused by inhalation though this
This document discusses cannabis use disorders and substance use disorders involving cannabis. It defines key terms like dependence, abuse, intoxication, and withdrawal. It describes the major diagnostic categories from the DSM-5 involving substance use disorders. It then discusses cannabis specifically, how it is prepared from the plant, its effects, and diagnostic criteria for cannabis intoxication, dependence, and withdrawal from the DSM-5.
1. Addiction is associated with changes in the brain's reward system and neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Drugs hijack the brain's natural reward pathways, triggering feelings of pleasure.
2. With repeated use, the brain adapts by reducing dopamine production and increasing the number of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors. This leads to withdrawal symptoms when not on drugs, and cravings and compulsive drug seeking.
3. Addiction involves changes in both the old brain regions associated with pleasure and survival, and the new brain regions associated with self-control. This combination of reward pathways and impaired self-regulation promotes continued drug use despite negative consequences.
This document discusses different types of drugs, their effects, dangers of abuse, and treatment options. It defines drugs as substances that alter physical or mental state. It categorizes major drug types as stimulants, hallucinogens, depressants, narcotics, and inhalants. For each drug type, specific examples are provided along with how they work in the body and associated health risks like overdose, organ damage, and addiction. The final sections discuss how addiction develops through tolerance, dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Treating addiction involves talking to others, medical help, and rehabilitation programs.
This document discusses different types of drugs including stimulants like caffeine, amphetamines, and cocaine that increase nervous system activity. It also discusses depressants like alcohol, opioids, and solvents that decrease nervous system activity. Hallucinogens like LSD and cannabis are described as altering perception. The document provides details on the effects of each drug type and warns that long-term drug use can damage the body and brain, lead to dependence and addiction, and have social consequences.
This document provides information about various drugs and their effects. It discusses how drugs do not actually solve problems and only hide feelings temporarily. It then provides details on specific drugs like alcohol, nicotine, amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, crack, ecstasy, heroin, LSD, and inhalants. For each drug, it mentions common street names, how it is used, and potential physical and mental effects. The document encourages people to say no to drugs and provides strategies for doing so.
1. Addiction is a brain disease that affects the limbic brain's reward system and results in drug use becoming equated with survival.
2. Genetic factors determine vulnerability to addiction by influencing how individuals respond to drugs and experience pleasure and stress.
3. Addictive drugs and behaviors hijack the brain's natural reward pathway by flooding it with dopamine and strengthening drug-related memories through glutamate.
4. Chronic stress, drug cues, and relapse are all mediated by the brain's stress systems and the neurotransmitter CRF, which opposes the brain's natural anti-reward systems.
Psychedelic drugs include both naturally occurring substances like peyote and psilocybin mushrooms as well as synthetic compounds like LSD. They work by binding to serotonin receptors in the brain and disrupting normal serotonin signaling, leading to altered perceptions and hallucinations. While some psychedelics have traditional spiritual and religious uses, their effects are unpredictable and can include both pleasant and frightening experiences depending on factors like dosage and mindset. Many remain illegal due to concerns about their risks and lack of accepted medical applications.

We examine medication assisted therapies for smoking, opiate addiction and alcohol dependence. We also explore the research supporting MAT and approaches that can be taken with clients who abuse drugs for which no MAT is available.
1) Antidepressant use has greatly increased over the last 30 years, with antidepressants now being the most commonly prescribed drug in the US. However, some experts argue they are overprescribed for issues that could be addressed through therapy or lifestyle changes.
2) Studies have found antidepressants to be only slightly more effective than placebo pills, but other analyses found flaws in how the original data was interpreted. The effectiveness of antidepressants does not depend on the severity of depression.
3) While antidepressants can help some people, there are concerns about overreliance on quick fix medication solutions rather than addressing underlying issues through therapy or lifestyle changes. Long term use should be reserved for severe cases.

Psychoactive drugs alter mood and perception by interfering with neurotransmission. There are four main categories of psychoactive drugs: depressants like alcohol which reduce neural activity; opiates like morphine which reduce pain and induce euphoria; stimulants like cocaine which excite neural activity; and hallucinogens like LSD which distort sensory perceptions. Long term use of psychoactive drugs often leads to tolerance, physical dependence, and withdrawal symptoms due to changes in the brain's neurochemistry.

There is a difference between drugs and medicines. A drug refers to any substance that alters the body or mind when consumed, and can be used for medical, spiritual or recreational purposes. Medicine specifically refers to treatments used to cure or prevent illness and disease. While all medicines are drugs, not all drugs are medicines. A drug is the raw ingredient, while medicine involves manufacturing drugs into a finished product for treating or preventing disease. Common drugs include alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and synthetic drugs, while common medicines fall into categories like antibiotics, pain relievers, and over-the-counter analgesics.
