Effects of drugs
Team B week 6 presentation
1
Identifying drug and its primary use
Rate of use and populations affected
Region of brain affected and altered brain chemistry
High versus low doses on behavior, mood, and cognition
Implications on physiology of brain, behavior, mood, and cognition
Therapeutic interventions to treat addiction
introduction
In this presentation Team B will discuss a common street drug that is also a brain altering drug. We will begin by identifying the drug and list it’s primary use. The rate of use and the particular populations affected will be reviewed. Because the drug we will identify is also a brain altering drug we will discuss the regions of the brain the drug affects and how this drug alters brain chemistry. The relevance of high and low doses of the drug will be compared in reference to behavior, mood, and cognition. The team will discuss the implications of one-time, casual, or long-term use on the brain, behavior, mood, and cognition. Finally the team will discuss therapeutic interventions that may be utilized for those that become addicted to the identified drug.

Heroin
Identify drug
Heroin is a highly addictive, illegal drug (Drugfreeworld.org, 2014). Heroin is made from the resin of poppy plants. The milky, sap-like opium is first removed from the pod of the poppy flower. This opium is refined to make morphine and then further refined into different forms of heroin. Heroin was first manufactured in 1898 by the Bayer pharmaceutical company of Germany and marketed as a treatment for tuberculosis as well as a remedy for morphine addiction (Drugfreeworld.org, 2014). Heroin is classified as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and as such has no acceptable medical use in the United States (Drugs.com, 2014).

Medical Use
Primary use
Heroin is a Drug that is well known in the United States, there are many different street name for this drug and is one of the most high addicting drugs in the united states. This drug is used by many Americans from all ages and ways of life. Heroin has many medical uses also and due to this reason many countries such as UK; heroin is available as controlled prescription drug. Heroin is used medical practice, where help for addiction to heroin is easily available. Heroin or diacetylmorphine is a strong analgesic (commonly known as pain killer medicine, as they are used in treatment of pain) medication (Healthyone.org, 2011). In some countries such as the United Kingdom it is a strong analgesic and available strictly as a controlled prescription medication and is commonly used for palliative care pain management. It is also used in the UK as maintenance drug for long-term heroin addicts when all treatment modalities for de-addiction fail, as a last resort (Healthyone.org, 2011). Recreational use is the most prevalent form of use for those using heroin. Initially used as a ...
Collaborating to Combat Heroin and Opioid Addiction In Arizona Jeff Carpenter
This document discusses collaborating to combat heroin and opioid addiction in Arizona. It provides background on the rising rates of heroin and opioid use across the U.S. and in Arizona. It examines different philosophies that have been used to address the problem, including enforcement and supply reduction, demand reduction, and harm reduction. However, it argues that current efforts operating in isolation are failing to adequately address the problem. Effective solutions require a holistic, collaborative approach that incorporates reducing demand, increasing enforcement, and incentivizing sobriety.

This document discusses the role of opioid education for youth. It finds that educating youth about opioids can help reduce misuse by making them aware of the risks of addiction and overdose. However, media coverage of opioids may also increase curiosity and accidental exposure. While prevention programs show promise, limitations include the possibility that education increases initial curiosity about drugs. Overall, early intervention through education may help delay first-time use and reduce health risks for youth.
This document discusses drug abuse and addiction. It defines drugs and the differences between drug abuse and addiction. It describes various types of drugs like stimulants, depressants, opiates, and hallucinogens. It discusses reasons why people take drugs and provides statistics on drug use worldwide. The document also covers the effects of specific drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and krokodil. It discusses prevention of drug abuse and treatments for drug addiction. Finally, it highlights the severe drug problem in the state of Punjab, India.

Drug Abuse
Introduction
Drug abuse is of legal and illegal drugs for the wrong purpose. Various factors are noted to cause substance abuse. Some of these factors include genetic predisposition, drug use experimentation, concurring conditions and the environment (Benito, Ballesteros, Callado & Meana, 2014). Drugs can consist of a variety of substances. Some are legal although most are not. Abusing legal or illegal drugs is harmful to the human body and leads to physical, mental, psychological, or social harm to an individual or group. Some individuals use the excuse of using drugs because they are depressed, stressed, in pain or any other reason the person can create to excuse his behavior and drug abuse (Brick & Erickson, 2013). The world today does not realize that most people are all habitual drug users because they are continually ingesting nicotine, ethanol, and caffeine. Even simple medicines can be counted.
There are different groups of drugs; Soft drugs that include tranquilizers, sedatives, cannabis, amphetamines, alcohol, and tobacco. The hard drugs are the ones to worry most about these are harmful to the body, and they include heroin, cocaine (opium), ecstasy, crack and several others. With the use of the hard drugs, it can lead to criminal activities, murder, sicknesses, and diseases. Research revealed that in 2011, 2.5 million emergency visits were resulting from drug abuse in the United States alone (Sipp, 2017). Besides, only 11 percent of those who are addicted received medical care. The remaining population of 89 percent is too vast to be without rehabilitation as they may result in more severe cases in future. According to Sipp (2017), the number of patients who are affected either directly or indirectly is growing. Therefore it’s essential to increase the rehabilitation centers at a higher rate so that the effects of drug abuse can be reduced through prevention than treatment.
Addiction
Poor relationships with parents also contribute to substance abuse. Peers and friends who are drug users influence other who becomes vulnerable to indulge in the behavior. Others enter into drug abuse to compensate for their in achievements such as failure to excel in education and other fields (Buccelli, Della, Paternoster, Niola, & Pieri, 2016).
Continuous use of drugs leads to addiction (Longo, Wilson, Christopher & Grant, 2016). However the frequency of abuse that causes addition if different in different people. Some people react fast with the drugs hence developing a constant craving for them even after short periods of use. On the other hand, some individuals may use the drugs for a relatively long time before becoming an addict. Apart from addiction, drug abuse can lead to various criminal activities such as juvenile sex offenses, violence, and robbery a ...
The purpose of the Idaho’s Response to the Opioid Crisis (IROC) sub-grant is to promote the national best practice of connecting individuals seeking recovery from addiction with Recovery Coaches who assist them during the beginning stages of recovery and throughout their journey.

Psychoactive Drugs Tobacco, Alcohol, and Illicit SubstancesGreenFacts
Psychoactive drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, and heroin can change consciousness, mood, and thoughts. The use of these drugs imposes a substantial health burden on society.
How do psychoactive drugs affect the brain? How does drug addiction develop and how can it be treated?
Psychoactive substances affect the central nervous system and brain function, changing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. Different drugs affect different neurotransmitters in the brain. The document discusses several key points:
1) Psychoactive drugs can have negative short-term and long-term health effects, including overdose, accidents, chronic illnesses, and social problems. Prenatal drug exposure can harm fetal development and cause issues like low birth weight.
2) Biological theories suggest genetics and changes in the brain from drug use contribute to addiction. No single factor determines if a person will become addicted.
3) The use of drugs like alcohol and opioids during pregnancy can significantly impact the health of

This document discusses the dangers of drug abuse, including addiction, health problems, and death. It notes that drugs affect everyone differently and drug abuse can lead to dependence. Common signs of drug abuse include declining interest in activities, mood swings, and associating with known drug users. The most commonly abused drugs are methamphetamine, marijuana, and inhalants, which can damage the brain and organs and impair functions like memory, coordination and decision making.
This document discusses drugs and their dangers. It begins with definitions of drugs as narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other addictive materials. It notes that drug use among youth is rising and endangering the nation's future. The purpose is to provide youth with knowledge about drugs. It then discusses various types of drugs like opium, heroin, morphine, and their effects. Factors that encourage drug use include family issues, media, and economic problems. The dangers of drugs are discussed, noting they can damage organs over time and cause issues like hallucinations, increased heart rate, or mental/behavioral changes depending on the specific drug.
The document discusses the dangers of drug use among adolescents in Indonesia. It defines different types of drugs like opioids, cocaine, marijuana and others, and explains the physical and psychological effects of each. The document also discusses factors that encourage drug use, and provides solutions like education, treatment and rehabilitation to address the growing problem of drug abuse among youth.
The document discusses the Heroin and Prescription Opioid Abuse Prevention, Education, and Enforcement Act of 2015. It summarizes that heroin use has increased dramatically in the U.S. and Chicago suburbs in recent years. The Act aims to address this by creating an inter-agency task force to develop best practices for pain management and opioid prescription to reduce abuse and heroin use. It also seeks to increase education on risks and fund programs providing naloxone to reverse overdoses. However, the bill stalled in Congress. The summary advocates for reintroducing the bill to address the growing public health crisis of opioid abuse and overdoses.
The document provides an overview of substance use disorders, treatment, and recovery for child welfare workers. It covers topics like the types of substances and their effects, how substance use affects the brain, screening tools for substance use disorders, the continuum of care in treatment, and how parental substance use can impact family functioning and child development. The goal is to help child welfare workers understand substance use disorders in order to safety plan for children and support parents' recovery processes.

It is often said that people today are no longer loyal to organizations. Yet employees are loyal to their direct supervisor. This discussion question asks you to evaluate and apply your understanding of followership theory. Reflect on any techniques for understanding, achieving, and positively applying organizational and personal power and influence as a follower.
When effective leaders leave an organization to move on to another organization, they often take at least one or two employees. Employees who respect a leader and have generated a relationship and bond want to work under that leader. One indicator of effective leaders is communication skills in which a leader is attuned to the needs of each employee.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: Discuss a leader with whom you are familiar and who has the loyalty of his or her direct reports. Alternatively, you might interview a friend or family member about their experiences or you may research a well-known leader. Address the following in your response.
Evaluate how this leader earns respect and loyalty from his or her employees.
If you were in a leadership position, what methods would you implement to inspire, motivate, and empower your employees?
Support your discussion with at least one scholarly article and, if relevant, credible media reports, and cite each source using APA style.

Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had been suffering from emphysema for several years and had had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent, and she went in and out of consciousness, alone in her hospital room. The medical-surgical nursing staff and the nurse manager focused on making Mrs. Smith’s end-of-life period as comfortable as possible. Upon consultation with the vice president for nursing, the nurse manager and the unit staff nurses decided against moving Mrs. Smith to the palliative care unit, although considered more economical, because of the need to protect and nurture her because she was already experiencing signs and symptoms of the dying process. Nurses were prompted by an article they read on human caring as the “language of nursing practice” (Turkel, Ray, & Kornblatt, 2012) in their weekly caring practice meetings.
The nurse manager reorganized patient assignments. She felt that the newly assigned clinical nurse leader who was working between both the medical and surgical units could provide direct nurse caring and coordination at the point of care (Sherman, 2012). Over the next few hours, the clinical nurse leader and a staff member who had volunteered her assistance provided personal care for Mrs. Smith. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could “be there” for her in her final moments. One friend was discovered and came to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith. With help from her team, the clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith’s room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed compassion and a deep sense of caring for her. The nurse manager and nursing unit staff were calmed and their “hearts awakened” by the personal caring that the clinical nurse leader and the volunteer nurse provided. Mrs. Smith died with caring persons at her bedside, and all members of the unit staff felt comforted that she had not died alone.
Davidson, Ray, and Turkel (2011) note that caring is complex, and caring science includes the art of practice, “an aesthetic which illuminates the beauty of the dynamic nurse-patient relationship, that makes possible authentic spiritual-ethical choices for transformation—healing, health, well-being, and a peaceful death” (p. xxiv). As the clinical nurse leader and the nursing staff in this situation engaged in caring practice that focused on the well-being of the patient, they simultaneously created a caring-healing environment that contributed to the well-being of the whole—the emotional atmosphere of the unit, the ability of the clinical nurse leader and staff nurses to practice caringly and competently, and the qualit.

General APA Guidelines
Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5" x 11") with 1" margins
on all sides. You should use a clear font that is highly readable. APA recommends using 12 pt.
Times New Roman font.
Include a page header (also known as the "running head") at the top of every page. To create
a page header/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type "TITLE OF YOUR
PAPER" in the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a shortened
version of your paper's title and cannot exceed 50 characters including spacing and punctuation.
Major Paper Sections
Your essay should include four major sections: The Title Page, Abstract, Main Body,
and References.
Title Page
The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author's name, and the institutional

Appearance When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my b.docxamrit47
Appearance
When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my black straight skirt, closed toed shoes and white collared shirt gave a professional appearance and more credibility with the audience. My hair was a little too casual. I wished I had that one strand tacked back so it would have stayed out of my eyes. This made it hard for the audience to see my face and was distracting when I had to keep tucking it back. My earrings were small so the audience would watch me and not my jewelry. I wasn’t standing up straight and it made me look less confident. I need to remember to have better posture when speaking.Organizational Pattern
My introduction was slow and clear and the story was suspenseful enough to grab their attention. It was a little confusing at the beginning because I didn’t preview the main points but because I transitioned well between the steps by saying, “Now that you have completed step 1, selecting the pattern, you are ready to move to step two, preparing the wood” the audience was able to follow. I remembered to state my research source for two of the steps but forgot the third. It made the third step seem shallower and I think I lost credibility. My word choice was good. I made sure to use a variety of descriptive words for the types of wood, explained new vocabulary and repeated phrases to help the audience remember the steps. For some reason the ending was weak. I didn’t tie it to the introduction or have a good ending sentence. It would have been a good idea to remind them of the beginning story and how woodworking affects their everyday life.Vocal Qualities
During my speech I had such a dry mouth that I messed up on the pronunciation of some of the words like saying “exspecially” instead of “especially.” This sounded less professional to the audience. I had good projection so that even the back row could hear without straining. My pitch variation is getting better but I still keep using the same rhythm with my pauses. This make me sound more monotone, like I’m reading the speech rather than just having a conversation. I’ll need to practice changing my rate and pauses. I also noticed many of my sentences end in an up-pitch, like I’m asking a question. If I bring some of those down it will make me appear more confident rather than questioning. It is hard to get rid of those filler words. “Like” and “so” are two of my favorites but it does make me sound like a teenager. I had no idea I said them so much.Delivery
There weren’t many gestures, which made me look stiff and nervous. I just held my note cards and stood in one spot the whole time. I need to do more with my hands and maybe move a little more in the space. I really admire the people in class who have such a good flow with their delivery from gestures to using the space around them purposefully. I felt I held my note cards too close to my face and had my head down most of the time. While watching the video, I noticed I looked at my cards and the poster a l.

Psychoactive Drugs Tobacco, Alcohol, and Illicit SubstancesGreenFacts
Psychoactive drugs such as tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, and heroin can change consciousness, mood, and thoughts. The use of these drugs imposes a substantial health burden on society.
How do psychoactive drugs affect the brain? How does drug addiction develop and how can it be treated?
Psychoactive substances affect the central nervous system and brain function, changing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. Different drugs affect different neurotransmitters in the brain. The document discusses several key points:
1) Psychoactive drugs can have negative short-term and long-term health effects, including overdose, accidents, chronic illnesses, and social problems. Prenatal drug exposure can harm fetal development and cause issues like low birth weight.
2) Biological theories suggest genetics and changes in the brain from drug use contribute to addiction. No single factor determines if a person will become addicted.

This document discusses the dangers of drug abuse, including addiction, health problems, and death. It notes that drugs affect everyone differently and drug abuse can lead to dependence. Common signs of drug abuse include declining interest in activities, mood swings, and associating with known drug users. The most commonly abused drugs are methamphetamine, marijuana, and inhalants, which can damage the brain and organs and impair functions like memory, coordination and decision making.
This document discusses drugs and their dangers. It begins with definitions of drugs as narcotics, psychotropic substances, and other addictive materials. It notes that drug use among youth is rising and endangering the nation's future. The purpose is to provide youth with knowledge about drugs. It then discusses various types of drugs like opium, heroin, morphine, and their effects. Factors that encourage drug use include family issues, media, and economic problems. The dangers of drugs are discussed, noting they can damage organs over time and cause issues like hallucinations, increased heart rate, or mental/behavioral changes depending on the specific drug.
The document discusses the dangers of drug use among adolescents in Indonesia. It defines different types of drugs like opioids, cocaine, marijuana and others, and explains the physical and psychological effects of each. The document also discusses factors that encourage drug use, and provides solutions like education, treatment and rehabilitation to address the growing problem of drug abuse among youth.
The document discusses the Heroin and Prescription Opioid Abuse Prevention, Education, and Enforcement Act of 2015.

It is often said that people today are no longer loyal to organizations. Yet employees are loyal to their direct supervisor. This discussion question asks you to evaluate and apply your understanding of followership theory. Reflect on any techniques for understanding, achieving, and positively applying organizational and personal power and influence as a follower.
When effective leaders leave an organization to move on to another organization, they often take at least one or two employees. Employees who respect a leader and have generated a relationship and bond want to work under that leader. One indicator of effective leaders is communication skills in which a leader is attuned to the needs of each employee.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: Discuss a leader with whom you are familiar and who has the loyalty of his or her direct reports. Alternatively, you might interview a friend or family member about their experiences or you may research a well-known leader. Address the following in your response.
Evaluate how this leader earns respect and loyalty from his or her employees.
If you were in a leadership position, what methods would you implement to inspire, motivate, and empower your employees?
Support your discussion with at least one scholarly article and, if relevant, credible media reports, and cite each source using APA style.

Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had been suffering from emphysema for several years and had had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent, and she went in and out of consciousness, alone in her hospital room. The medical-surgical nursing staff and the nurse manager focused on making Mrs. Smith’s end-of-life period as comfortable as possible. Upon consultation with the vice president for nursing, the nurse manager and the unit staff nurses decided against moving Mrs. Smith to the palliative care unit, although considered more economical, because of the need to protect and nurture her because she was already experiencing signs and symptoms of the dying process. Nurses were prompted by an article they read on human caring as the “language of nursing practice” (Turkel, Ray, & Kornblatt, 2012) in their weekly caring practice meetings.
The nurse manager reorganized patient assignments. She felt that the newly assigned clinical nurse leader who was working between both the medical and surgical units could provide direct nurse caring and coordination at the point of care (Sherman, 2012). Over the next few hours, the clinical nurse leader and a staff member who had volunteered her assistance provided personal care for Mrs. Smith. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could “be there” for her in her final moments. One friend was discovered and came to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith. With help from her team, the clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith’s room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed compassion and a deep sense of caring for her. The nurse manager and nursing unit staff were calmed and their “hearts awakened” by the personal caring that the clinical nurse leader and the volunteer nurse provided. Mrs. Smith died with caring persons at her bedside, and all members of the unit staff felt comforted that she had not died alone.
Davidson, Ray, and Turkel (2011) note that caring is complex, and caring science includes the art of practice, “an aesthetic which illuminates the beauty of the dynamic nurse-patient relationship, that makes possible authentic spiritual-ethical choices for transformation—healing, health, well-being, and a peaceful death” (p. xxiv). As the clinical nurse leader and the nursing staff in this situation engaged in caring practice that focused on the well-being of the patient, they simultaneously created a caring-healing environment that contributed to the well-being of the whole—the emotional atmosphere of the unit, the ability of the clinical nurse leader and staff nurses to practice caringly and competently, and the qualit.

There are different theories of how to make the basic distribution. Among them are:
1. Scope and Role of Distributive Principles
2. Strict Egalitarianism
3. The Difference Principle

5. Welfare-Based Principles
6. Desert-Based Principles
7. Libertarian Principles
8. Feminist Principles
There are different theories of how to make the basic distribution. Among them are:
Strict Egalitarianism
One of the simplest principles of distributive justice is that of strict, or radical, equality. The principle says that every person should have the same level of material goods and services. The principle is most commonly justified on the grounds that people are morally equal and that equality in material goods and services is the best way to give effect to this moral ideal.
The Difference Principle
The most widely discussed theory of distributive justice in the past four decades has been that proposed by John Rawls in
A Theory of Justice
, (Rawls 1971), and
Political Liberalism
, (Rawls 1993). Rawls proposes the following two principles of justice:
· 1. Each person has an equal claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic rights and liberties, which scheme is compatible with the same scheme for all; and in this scheme the equal political liberties, and only those liberties, are to be guaranteed their fair value.
· 2. Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: (a) They are to be attached to positions and offices open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and (b), they are to be to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged members of society. (Rawls 1993, pp. 5–6. The principles are numbered as they were in Rawls' original
A Theory of Justice
.)
Equality of Opportunity and Luck Egalitarianism
Dworkin proposed that people begin with equal resources but be allowed to end up with unequal economic benefits as a result of their own choices. What constitutes a just material distribution is to be determined by the result of a thought experiment designed to model fair distribution. Suppose that everyone is given the same purchasing power and each uses that purchasing power to bid, in a fair auction, for resources best suited to their life plans. They are then permitted to use those resources as they see fit. Although people may end up with different economic benefits, none of them is given less consideration than another in the sense that if they wanted somebody else's resource bundle they could have bid for it instead.
In Dworkin's proposal we see his attitudes to ‘ambitions’ and ‘endowments’ which have become a central feature of luck egalitarianism (though under a wide variety of al.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Identifying drug and its primary use
Rate of use and populations affected
Region of brain affected and altered brain chemistry
High versus low doses on behavior, mood, and cognition
Implications on physiology of brain, behavior, mood, and
cognition
Therapeutic interventions to treat addiction
introduction
In this presentation Team B will discuss a common street drug
that is also a brain altering drug. We will begin by identifying
the drug and list it’s primary use. The rate of use and the
particular populations affected will be reviewed. Because the
drug we will identify is also a brain altering drug we will
discuss the regions of the brain the drug affects and how this
2. drug alters brain chemistry. The relevance of high and low
doses of the drug will be compared in reference to behavior,
mood, and cognition. The team will discuss the implications of
one-time, casual, or long-term use on the brain, behavior, mood,
and cognition. Finally the team will discuss therapeutic
interventions that may be utilized for those that become
addicted to the identified drug.

Heroin
Identify drug
Heroin is a highly addictive, illegal drug (Drugfreeworld.org,
2014). Heroin is made from the resin of poppy plants. The
milky, sap-like opium is first removed from the pod of the
poppy flower. This opium is refined to make morphine and then
further refined into different forms of heroin. Heroin was first
manufactured in 1898 by the Bayer pharmaceutical company of
Germany and marketed as a treatment for tuberculosis as well as
a remedy for morphine addiction (Drugfreeworld.org, 2014).
Heroin is classified as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled
Substances Act of 1970 and as such has no acceptable medical
use in the United States (Drugs.com, 2014).

Recreational Use
Medical Use
Primary use
3. Heroin is a Drug that is well known in the United States, there
are many different street name for this drug and is one of the
most high addicting drugs in the united states. This drug is used
by many Americans from all ages and ways of life. Heroin has
many medical uses also and due to this reason many countries
such as UK; heroin is available as controlled prescription drug.
Heroin is used medical practice, where help for addiction to
heroin is easily available. Heroin or diacetylmorphine is a
strong analgesic (commonly known as pain killer medicine, as
they are used in treatment of pain) medication (Healthyone.org,
2011). In some countries such as the United Kingdom it is a
strong analgesic and available strictly as a controlled
prescription medication and is commonly used for palliative
care pain management. It is also used in the UK as maintenance
drug for long-term heroin addicts when all treatment modalities
for de-addiction fail, as a last resort (Healthyone.org, 2011).
Recreational use is the most prevalent form of use for those
using heroin. Initially used as a pain killer in the 1800s it
quickly took on another highly addictive use, as it users found it
readily available and affordable. It is an extremely powerful
painkiller and users experience exhilaration, euphoria and a
sense of well being. The individual use heroin with the intention
to alter the state of consciousness (through disruption of the
CNS) in order to recreate positive emotions and feelings.
Recreational use of heroin has been associated with such things
as curiosity, boredom, low self-esteem, desire for risk, for
meditation, desire to escape from or cope with difficulties, to
relax, to increase energy, and to improve focus or
concentration.

Rate of use
The DEA states that 1.2 % of our population has reported using
heroin or tried heroin at least once in their life time. In 2011,
4.2 Million Americans ranging from the age of 12 and older
have used heroin. There is a 23 percent rate of individuals who
become dependent of this drug (NIH,2024). An estimated 13.5
Million people in the world take opioids (opium-like
substances), including 9.2 million who use heroin
(Drugfreeworld.org, 2014). In 2007, 93% of the world’s opium
supply came from Afghanistan. Opiates, mainly heroin, were
involved in four of every five drug-related deaths in Europe,
and it accounts for 18% of the admissions for drug and alcohol
treatment in the United States (Drugfreeworld.org, 2014).

All lifestyles

All cultures
Populations affected
There is no “cookie-cutter” heroin user (Alcoholism.about.com,
2014). Individuals of all ages, cultures and lifestyles have and
can use heroin. Addiction has been described as an ‘equal
opportunity’ disease, affecting individual across racial, ethic,
geographic and class lines (Bernstein et al., 2005). There has
been an increase in initiation among young adults ages 18 to 25
and adults 26 and older using heroin (Drugs.com, 2014). “The
5. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that teenagers
reporting heroin use in their lifetime is declining. Amongst 12th
graders, the number has come down from 3.0 percent in 2001 to
2.0 percent. The total number of teenagers that report using
heroin in their lifetimes has dropped from 3.1 percent to 2.4
percent since 2001” (Bernstein et al., 2005). Amongst young
adults and college students, heroin use is not seeing the decline
it has in teenagers. Among the users a high percent were
African American (82%), Hispanic (54%), and White (57%)
(Bernstein et al., 2005).

The
Limbic System is affected by
Heroin
(Bing, 2015)
Region affected
The region of the brain affected by Heroin is the limbic system
(NIH, 2014). The limbic system controls a person’s emotions,
eating, socializing, mood, feeling of pleasure, and repeated
behaviors (NIH, 2014). The limbic system is located in the
center of the brain, this area controls many functions for the
6. person. Heroin affects the limbic system by giving the brain a
different type of pleasure, emotions, behaviors, and moods
(NIH, 2014). Heroin affects the memory, motivation, and other
functions of a person. Many areas of the brain are affected by
Heroin.
7
Heroin affects the neurons in the brain.
This disrupts the normal brain chemistry.
(Bing, 2015)
Alter brain chemistry
Heroin alters brain chemistry by triggering “the release of
dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (NAC), as measured by
microdialysis (Di Chiara, 1995)” (Carlson, 2013, p. 617).
Heroin affects the brain by activating the neurons (NIH, 2014).
Heroin acts like natural neurotransmitter (NIH, 2014).
According to NIH (2014) “Although these drugs mimic the
brains own chemicals, they don’t activate neurons in the same
way as a natural neurotransmitter, and they had through the
network” (p. 1). Heroin tricks the neurons, this allows the drug
to enter into the brain but does not do the same function as the
brains own chemicals. “A person taking an addictive drug seeks
a sudden “rush "produced by a fast-acting drug” (Carlson, 2013,
p. 617). Heroin produces a fast-acting rush because it is used
7. many times as a liquid injected into the blood stream. This
gives the drug an easier access to the blood stream and brain.
8
Effects of Heroin use is different for each person.
(Bing, 2015)
High versus low doses
[“Not everyone will respond the same way to a given drug dose-
many factors can influence this, including those mentioned
above, as well as age, gender, and the person’s history of using
that drug or other related drugs”] (Kandel, Schwartz, & Jessell,
1991, p. 69-70). The effects of Heroin depends on the person
(Personal Interview, Ed Grey, January 17, 2015). A lower dose
may affect a person the same as a person taking a higher dose,
depending on the person (Personal Interview, Ed Grey, January
17, 2015). The higher the dose of Heroin, the increased chances
for the person to have more behavior, mood swings, and
cognitive behaviors. Ed Grey (Personal Interview, January 17,
2015) states “some people (as myself) experienced blue lips,
8. labored breathing, and incoherence; with an extremely high
dose of Heroin.” A person may become moodier, more agitated,
mild tempered, or more. The high versus low doses depends on
the person and how his or her brain reacts to the drug.

Implications on brain
The majority of people do not realize the powerful effect
addictive drugs have on the brain, the effects of drug use on the
body are more commonly known. When someone uses heroin for
the first time, it begins the roller coaster ride, setting them user
up for years of heroin addiction. The user experiences a rush of
euphoria, which is brought about by the opiates being sent to
the brain. The user then tries to achieve this same feeling over
and over, it is termed “chasing the dragon.” The brain begins to
put demands on the individual to use a greater amount of the
opiates for it to send the message to the body that everything is
alright, making them feel normal. If the brain does not receive
the extra amount of opiates, it goes into panic mode, the brain
signals the body that it needs more opiates to achieve the
feeling of normalcy. The addiction begins to grow and to
spread, and begins to starve the brain’s opiate receptors.
9. Long-term abuse and use of heroin actually changes the brain
chemistry over time. If the drug is used for many years, the
change is permanent (Effects of heroin on the brain, 2014).
There is a certain amount of dopamine in a normal human brain
produces regularly. The dopamine is then distributed out to the
brain so the user can attempt to feel normal. An example of this
is during and after exercise that is strenuous, the body begins to
slowly releasing small amounts dopamine that is produced
naturally, to the brain, so that the person feels a better despite
working hard. This biological process is a mechanism that is
used for survival (Effects of heroin on the brain, 2014).
When the addict begins using heroin daily, their brain is saying
“Hey wait a minute here. My body is being constantly flooded
with extra opiates and dopamine, so there is no need to produce
any myself naturally (Effects of heroin on the brain, 2014). I am
getting all that I need and more.” If an individual keeps using
heroin for an extended period of time, the body is slowly being
trained to stop the production of dopamine naturally. It is very
dangerous to be addicted to heroin. Long term use involves
many risks, overdose is common (Effects of heroin on the brain,
2014). When the user tries to get clean, and does not use for a
period of time, they lose their tolerance for the drug. The
intense cravings for the drug lead them to relapse. The addict
uses again, the same about being used before they stopped, and
overdose, because they no longer have the tolerance built up to
use that amount. Most heroin addicts do not live to reach the
end stage, where their body stops producing dopamine naturally.
“Addicts who do, are stuck in a stage where their body is in a
constant state of being starved for opiates so they can feel
normal. In these cases, drug maintenance therapy with a
synthetic opiate, such as Suboxone is recommended (Effects of
heroin on the brain, 2014).”
This phenomenon demonstrates the power the use of heroin use
has. Other effects, such as the phenomenon of cravings that can
10. be so powerful that they are stronger than wanting to eat when
one is starving. This powerful opioid literally changes the brain
chemistry over time, which puts a grip on the addict, putting
them even deeper into opioid addiction (Effects of heroin on the
brain, 2014).
10
Implications on brain
Stop Heroin. http://www.stopheroin.net/heroinfacts.htm
“The circuit in the brain that is thought to be most important to
the reinforcement system that is neurological is the limbic
reward system, which is known also as the brain reward system,
or the dopamine reward system. This brain circuit runs the span
of the nucleus accumbens and the ventral tegmental area (VTA)
(Bromberg-Martin, Matsumoto, & Hikosaka, 2011).” All
substance that are abused, such as heroin, cocaine, alcohol, MA,
nicotine, marijuana, other illicit drugs, and synthetic substances
have an effect on the limbic reward system. The nucleus
accumbens are also affected, and the release of dopamine is
increased, which is the neurotransmitter that helps regulate the
feelings of satisfaction, euphoria and pleasure. Dopamine also
plays a major role in controlling motivation, cognition,
movement, and reward (Bromberg-Martin, Matsumoto, &
Hikosaka, 2011). Dopamine levels that are high in the brain
causes enhancement to the mood and increases body movement,
such as motor activities. Levels of dopamine that are too high
can produce irritability, nervousness, paranoia, and
aggressiveness that are characteristics of schizophrenia
(Bromberg-Martin, Matsumoto, & Hikosaka, 2011). This
increase of dopamine may also cause bizarre thoughts and
hallucinations that are symptoms of schizophrenia. “Dopamine
11. levels that are too low in certain areas of the brain can result in
tremors and paralysis that are symptoms of Parkinson's disease
(Bromberg-Martin, Matsumoto, & Hikosaka, 2011).”

Suboxone
Scheduled III drug
buprenorphine + naloxone
Therapeutic interventions
Control your Suboxone (2013)
http://www.rxfilmcuttingguide.com/
The Controlled Substance Act (CSA) has five schedules that are
used to classify drugs. “Schedule I drugs have a high potential
for abuse, they have no medical use. Schedule II drugs also
have a high potential for abuse, but currently have a use in
medical treatments, and have a risk of severe physiological
dependence. Schedule III drugs have a lower potential for
abuse, and are currently used for medical treatment, these drugs
may have moderate or low physical dependence, or high
physiological dependence (CSA Schedules, 2000).” Scheduled
III, IV, and V medications that are narcotic were approved for
treatment via the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 (DATA
2000) (Varela, 2010). This act allows physicians who are
qualified, to prescribe prescription drugs that are “specifically
approved Schedule III, IV, and V narcotic medications for
treating addiction to opioids in settings that are not in
methadone treatment centers (Varela, 2010).” DATA 2000
reduced the burden placed on physicians by regulations, by
allowing physicians who are qualified to apply for waivers
regarding the special requirements for registration as stated in
12. the Controlled Substance Act (Varela, 2010).
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Suboxone,
a buprenorphine and naloxone combination for the treatment of
addiction to opioids (Varela, 2010). Suboxone is currently the
only Schedule III, IV, or V medication to have been approved
by the FDA. Suboxone has many advantages over methadone.
Suboxone can be prescribed for the addict to take home, just as
they would any other medication (Varela, 2010).” “The main
ingredient in Suboxone is buprenorphine, it is a partial opioid
agonist, which can both block and activate opioid receptors, the
opioid effects of Suboxone are limited in comparison to drugs
that produce a full opioid agonist, such as heroin and
oxycodone. Suboxone also contains naloxone, which is n opioid
antagonist, it prevents the drug from binding to opioid receptors
(Varela, 2010).” It is there to discourage individuals from
injecting or snorting it. Suboxone comes in pill or film form,
which is placed under the tongue to dissolve (Varela, 2010).
When Suboxone is used correctly only a very small amount of
naloxone goes into the bloodstream, and the patient feels only
the effects of the buprenorphine. “If Suboxone tablet is ground
up, injected, smoked, or snorted, the individual who is
dependent on a full opioid agonist can quickly go into
withdrawal (Varela, 2010).” Being able to get Suboxone from a
doctor, without going into a methadone treatment center, and it
may being people into treatment who would not have come, due
to the social stigma associated with addiction. Suboxone aids
people into staying in treatment, decreases cravings, suppresses
opioid withdrawal, and has a ceiling effect, so the patient has
limited euphoria (Varela, 2010).
“If a Suboxone tablet is crushed and naloxone is injected,
snorted or smoked, a person dependent on a full opioid agonist
can be caused to quickly go into withdrawal (Varela, 2010).”
Suboxone is safer because it offers less reason to abuse it.
Suboxone is a useful tool for relapse prevention, it helps
remove the strong urges to relapse, and allows the patient to be
alert mentally (Varela, 2010). It is nearly impossible to
13. overdose because it is a partial opioid agonist with a ceiling
effect. Suboxone provides a longer half-life. It takes two days
for the drug to lose half of its pharmacological activity, as
compared to methadone, which takes one day, making it more
useful for the purpose of detoxification. Suboxone can lead to
respiratory suppression that is fatal, but this is rare. There is a
higher risk of this condition if the use of heroin is continued. It
has been found through evidence based treatment studies that
Suboxone can be a positive alternative for individuals who are
opioid addicts in recovery who chronically relapse.

Therapeutic Interventions
Methadone
Scheduled II drug
Synthetic narcotic analgesic
http://www.pharmedium.com/compounding/service/61/Methado
ne/
Methadone is a Schedule II medication, only dispensed in
clinics that are federally regulated, in methadone maintenance
programs (Methadone, 2013). These programs are often
unappealing to patients. It is available in oral solution,
injection, and tablet form. The active ingredient in methadone is
always methadone hydrochloride (Methadone, 2013). It is a
synthetic narcotic pain reliever. Methadone is often used in the
treatment of heroin addiction. It is also used as an analgesic to
relieve pain. Methadone shares the same characteristics of
morphine, but when methadone is used there it prevents the
person using it from experiencing the euphoric high
(Methadone, 2013). The dosage is decided by the person’s body
14. weight and their tolerance to heroin. “Methadone users can
develop dependence, tolerance, and withdrawal (Methadone,
2013). When used as prescribed methadone can reduce cravings,
suppresses the withdrawal symptoms, and blocks the feeling of
euphoric high people get from using other opioids, such as
heroin.

conclusion
Heroin is an highly addictive drug that comes from the seedpod
of the opium poppy plant. Heroin in its purest form is usually a
white powder. Less pure forms have varied colors ranging from
white, brown, and black. Heroin can be injected in the user’s
veins, smoked or snorted. Individuals of all ages and lifestyles
have used heroin so there is no one particular set of individuals
that may have experimented with the drug (Drugs.com, 2014).
Users who inject heroin will experience a euphoric surge or
rush as it is known to some. The users mouth may sudden
become dry, they may start to nod in and out, and their legs may
feel heavy(Drugs.com, 2014). Heroin is metabolized to
morphine and other metabolites which bind to opioid receptors
in the brain. Mental functioning becomes clouded due to the
depression of the central nervous system (Drugs.com, 2014).
Other hazards have been reported with regular heroin users. The
user that is physically dependent on the drug and suddenly stop
occasionally can be fetal. Withdrawal symptoms for regular
users consist of restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia,
15. diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps. There
are several medical treatment options that exist for heroin
addiction. These treatment consist of methadone,
buprenorphine, and naltrexone are approved to treat opioid
dependence. These treatment can be effective when combined
with medication compliance programs and behavioral therapy
(Drugs.com, 2014).
