<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s no secret that <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcohol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alcoholism is very dangerous</a>. But out of all its potential health effects, blacking out from alcohol is one of the deadliest ones. Not only does it put the drinker at risk of many negative consequences, but it also puts the people around them in danger.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol-induced blackouts, commonly-referred to as alcohol-induced amnesia, can occur for various reasons. It depends on the individual, as well as various other factors. But whatever the cause or reason, blacking out from alcohol abuse is never a good thing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol is one of the leading causes of health issues in the US. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 88,000 people die each year from alcohol-related causes like motor vehicle accidents and health issues like liver disease.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, 1 in 10 deaths among working-age adults aged 20 to 64 is related to excessive drinking, also known as binge drinking. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), binge drinking is a pattern of drinking that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels to 0.08 g/dL., or higher.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For men, this typically occurs after 5 or more drinks during a single occasion or within 2 hours. For women, this typically happens after taking 4 or more drinks during a single occasion or within 2 hours. Binge drinking is most likely to cause blacking out, which involves memory loss due to excessive drinking. It happens due to the rapid consumption of alcohol.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both binge drinking and blacking out can increase a person’s risk of experiencing alcohol-related injuries as well as health-related problems. When a person blacks out, they become unable to form new long term memories while maintaining other skills like eating, speaking, and even driving.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the amount of alcohol consumed increases, so does the magnitude of memory impairment. There are two main types of blackouts, both of which may be caused by rapid alcohol consumption: partial or fragmentary blackouts, and complete blackouts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fragmentary blackouts are when a person’s memory formation is partially blocked. The blockage prevents the transfer of short term memory to long term memory storage. This means the person may only be able to recall some portions of the events during the time they were drinking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Complete blackouts occur when a person is drinking alcohol in large quantities at rapid rates. This usually makes the person unable to recall entire events during the time they were drinking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to having high blood alcohol concentration, there are other characteristics that increase the risk of having a blackout. According to the Journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence, factors that contribute to the likelihood of having a blackout include gender, ethnicity, genetics, alcohol intake, and rate of consumption.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Researchers have found that all alcohol-induced blackout periods occurred after a rapid rise in blood alcohol levels. Recent studies have also revealed that drinking on an empty stomach can also increase the risk of blacking out. This is because it can drastically raise a person’s BAC.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As mentioned earlier, gender is one of the risk factors involving blackouts. Women, in particular, are at greater risk of blacking out than men, even with lower levels of alcohol consumption. This is because women have considerably less water weight than men, which means alcohol is less diluted in the bloodstream.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Women also have much lower concentrations of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). ADH metabolizes alcohol before it passes into the bloodstream. As a result, women have a higher BAC and experience greater intoxication than men.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because women also have higher levels of body fat than men, women maintain higher concentrations of alcohol in their bloodstream.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To avoid the dangers associated with blackouts, it is important to try and spot the signs and symptoms before the person gets into any trouble. Although it may be difficult to identify when someone is having a blackout as they would most likely continue with their regular activities, it is still possible to recognize the warning signs if you know what to look for.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blacking out is more common than most people think. For starters, the person may be easily distracted. They may exhibit a lack of concern for others’ thoughts and feelings—or simply exhibit a lack of awareness of their surroundings.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People who have blacked out are more likely to repeat the same thing over and over again without memory of repeating themselves. In general, they are more forgetful, sometimes forgetting what they are talking about or what they are doing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blacking out also makes a person engage in risky behaviors that are uncharacteristic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, the most important thing to watch out for is whether or not the person has consumed large quantities of alcohol over a short period of time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing the signs and symptoms of a blackout can help identify a person struggling with alcohol abuse. The best way to prevent blacking out is, of course, total abstinence from alcohol. Blacking out is not considered a sign of having an alcohol use disorder, but they are at a higher risk of developing the condition.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol-induced blackouts can be avoided by drinking moderately and eating food before and while drinking alcohol. It is also important to stay hydrated by drinking water between each alcoholic beverage. Also, slow down your drinking speed, as rapid consumption is a primary factor that can cause a blackout.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, avoid mixing alcohol with medications or any other drugs, as this not only increases intoxication and increases the risk of blackouts, it also makes the drinker more likely to suffer from a fatal overdose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against drug abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/outpatient-treatment-programs-alcoholism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a comprehensive program</a> tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

Simply quitting may not change the psychological aspect of addiction. Some people quit for a while, and then take drugs or alcohol again, only to overdose because they did not detox properly. Recovery involves changing the way the patient feels, thinks, and behaves.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cocaine is known as the “rich man’s drug” because it is both addictive and expensive. But even so, more people are taken to emergency rooms for cocaine-related issues than any other illicit substance. That’s why it is important to look beyond its reputation to understand what this drug is and what it can do to a person.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From 2011 to 2012, the number of people with a cocaine dependence increased by approximately 300,000 people. In fact, in 2012, over 600,000 people tried cocaine for the first time. That same year, around 658,000 people received <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/cocaine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">treatment for cocaine addiction</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">68 percent of individuals admitted to emergency rooms for cocaine-related issues had more than one drug in their system.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These statistics show that cocaine abuse is a serious problem, and that loved ones should know how to recognize the signs of addiction.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like caffeine, cocaine is a stimulant that makes users feel euphoric and alert. Also known as coke, blow, or powder, it comes in the form of a white powdery substance that is typically snorted or smoked. Some users dissolve it in water and inject it directly into their bloodstream for a more intense high.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When taken, cocaine reacts with the body’s central nervous system, producing energy and euphoria. The drug stimulates high levels of dopamine, which is a chemical in the brain that is associated with pleasure and reward.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the fact that most people know it is addictive, thousands are still drawn to cocaine. An estimated 1,800 Americans experiment with cocaine for the first time each day. This puts them at risk of severe adverse effects, which we will discuss below.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because cocaine is an illegal substance, any use of it is considered abuse. Over time, cocaine’s effects manifest and negatively impact every part of the body. Continued abuse puts the user at risk of severe long-term effects. Cocaine use can cause permanent damage to the body.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Signs of cocaine use include uncharacteristic behavior such as: excitement, talkativeness, alertness, overconfidence, and anxiety.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The effects of cocaine abuse are affected by the user’s drug habits, including their drug intake and method of administration. Whether they snort, smoke, or inject the <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug dictates the severity and duration of cocaine’s effects</a>. For example, snorting cocaine will produce short-lived effects that last up to 30 minutes. Smoking or injecting cocaine is more intense, but the effects last for an even shorter period of about 10 minutes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of cocaine users will take the drug frequently to maintain the desired effects. With that in mind, frequent intake of large doses of cocaine is even more dangerous as it can lead to an overdose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cocaine abuse can cause a strain on the heart. Cardiac arrest and stroke are the most common causes of death in cocaine users.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although cocaine is a highly addictive drug, recognizing an addiction may be difficult. But addiction is characterized by the continued use of a substance even when it’s already causing problems for the user.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Craving for cocaine and ignoring its consequences is the biggest sign of cocaine addiction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cocaine addiction has a physical effect, but the psychological aspect of it is the hardest part to overcome. Once dependence has developed, it will become very hard for the person to feel “normal” without taking the drug. If they attempt to quit, they may experience withdrawal effects. Addicted individuals try to quit repeatedly, only to relapse after a few days or weeks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cocaine is addictive because it essentially reprograms the brain’s reward system. The body feels like it needs the substance to function. That’s why addiction can be very hard to stop.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. Because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

Simply quitting may not change the psychological aspect of addiction. Some people quit for a while, and then take drugs or alcohol again, only to overdose because they did not detox properly. Recovery involves changing the way the patient feels, thinks, and behaves.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People who are suffering from acute insomnia may be given a powerful sedative like Ambien to help them fall asleep.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite its medical use, Ambien can be addictive and users can develop addiction if they take it for longer than two weeks. It is also possible to get addicted to Ambien even if it was prescribed by a doctor, especially if the user takes a higher dosage than they are supposed to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to a report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration or SAMHSA, the number of emergency room visits related to Ambien use increased by nearly 220 percent between 2005 and 2010, up to 19,487 visits in that year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Between 2006 and 2011, approximately 38 million prescriptions for Ambien drugs were written.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates that more than half a million people in the US are currently abusing sedatives such as Ambien. That is why it is important to take a look at the <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/what-one-feels-using-ambien/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">potential addictive effects of this drug</a> and understand what makes it prone to abuse.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a drug that is classified as a sedative-hypnotic substance, Ambien can slow down brain function as well as the central nervous system by activating the GABA neurotransmitter. While it can be used to treat insomnia, it is only intended for short term use because of its addictive properties.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ambien comes in two forms: a quick release formulation that helps initiate sleep and an extended release form that can help users maintain sleep. The latter is used to help people who can’t sleep through the night.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ambien is taken orally in the form of a small tablet. However, recreational users sometimes crush up the pills and snort the powder in order to achieve a stronger effect. Street names for Ambien include no-gos, sleepeasy, zombie pills, tic tacs, and A-minus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The name ‘Ambien’ is actually the brand name for the drug zolpidem. The drug is widely known as a sleep aid, due in part to its use in popular culture and mainstream media.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The makers of Ambien designed and marketed the drug as a less addictive alternative to benzodiazepines. It is supposed to have the same medical effectiveness, but without the same hazardous and habit-forming properties.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, Ambien is still an addictive substance. Compared to benzodiazepines, it takes users longer to develop an addiction to Ambien, and withdrawal is generally less severe and dangerous. So in reality, Ambien has a very similar potential for abuse as benzos.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ambien is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This means it is not likely to be used recreationally. However, many users still abuse the drug because of its euphoric and sometimes hallucinatory effects.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any time a person takes Ambien without a prescription or in a way that is not directed by a doctor is considered abuse. Even taking an extra pill when you’re not supposed to is considered abuse. It is very easy to build a tolerance to Ambien, and soon the user will need larger doses just to fall asleep.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the user keeps taking Ambien, their dependence on the drug develops and it may cause them to escalate their doses without medical guidance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Ambien is considered a safer alternative to benzodiazepine, it is still possible to become addicted. There is less potential to overdose on this drug. However, because the signs of Ambien overdose are very similar to the effects of the drug, it can be hard to detect an overdose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When abused, Ambien produces a euphoric effect that eliminates insecurity and self-conscious behavior. And because Ambien is a potent depressant for the central nervous system, it can slow a user’s breathing when taken in large doses. It can even slow a person’s heart rate to the point of respiratory failure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although rare, Ambien overdose can be fatal. If an Ambien user exhibits breathing difficulties, seek medical help immediately.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addiction is characterized by the compulsive use of a certain drug, even when the person is already suffering from its adverse effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking for the <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/what-one-feels-using-ambien/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signs of Ambien addiction</a> is the first step towards helping someone who is struggling with it. A person who is addicted to Ambien may refill their prescriptions unusually often, or may take larger doses than prescribed by their doctor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Physical dependence to Ambien can form in as little as two weeks—and it is possible to become dependent even if the user is taking it as directed by the doctor.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When they stop taking the drug, they experience cravings or withdrawal symptoms. Aside from the physical effects of addiction, there are also psychological and behavioral effects to look out for. They may engage in risky or dangerous behavior and not remember it later on. They may neglect their responsibilities in favor of taking the drug. Chances are, they will spend large amounts of money on the drug and struggle financially because of it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They will also lose interest in things they used to enjoy—all in favor of their drug habit. Finally, an addicted individual may isolate themselves from friends and family members.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Synthetic marijuana mimics the psychoactive effects of marijuana—but it has more potent and dangerous results. Also known as Spice or K2, synthetic marijuana is the second most commonly abused illegal drug among high schoolers, second only to marijuana.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2010, a total of 11,406 emergency room visits were recorded that were associated with synthetic marijuana use. This makes it a very deadly recreational drug that affects mostly young people aged 12 to 29.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Synthetic marijuana is a chemically modified herbal substance that produces mind-altering effects similar to marijuana. However, it is often more potent than marijuana. The chemicals in synthetic marijuana are manufactured to be similar to tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, which is the <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/what-to-know-about-marijuana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">psychoactive ingredient in marijuana</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to the DEA, most of the chemicals used in synthetic marijuana are manufactured in Asia and then smuggled to the US where they are sprinkled on plant material and packaged. Manufacturers of synthetic marijuana often have no regulations or standards in place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DEA listed 15 variants of synthetic marijuana as Schedule I substances back in 2015. This means the substances have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. They are treated as the same category as heroin and crack cocaine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, the FDA noted that over 75 compounds have been identified that are not currently controlled. These chemicals vary in terms of safety, and not all are recommended for consumption.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although the DEA has attempted to regulate the creation and distribution of synthetic marijuana, the fact that manufacturers can just make slight alterations to the chemical structure of synthetic marijuana means that ingredients can be developed faster than law enforcement can outlaw them. Synthetic marijuana distributors have been able to continue selling the drug because of this.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Synthetic marijuana is often promoted as a “safe” and legal alternative to marijuana despite significant evidence to the contrary. It is even sold in gas stations and on the internet. It is often marketed as incense or potpourri and labelled as “not for human consumption,” which is a marketing loophole that enables distributors to sell the substance legally.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Street names for synthetic marijuana include Spice, K2, Mojo, Black Mamba, Genie, Cloud 9, Yucatan Fire, Moon Rocks, Skunk, Zohai, Bliss, Blaze, and Fake Weed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Synthetic marijuana is not intended to be smoked or ingested, so using it in any form is considered abuse. Many young people are drawn to this drug because they believe it is safer than marijuana. There is also the factor of accessibility: because they can purchase it legally, they think they won’t get in trouble for using it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, synthetic marijuana does not show up on most drug tests, which makes it an attractive choice for recreational users who are afraid of getting caught.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The high from synthetic marijuana is similar to that of marijuana. It alters a person’s perception of reality and makes them feel very relaxed. It puts users in a good mood.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because the actual ingredients of synthetic marijuana are different in every batch, it is impossible to predict the adverse effects it will have on a user. The chemicals used to produce the substance’s effects were originally formulated to be used as anything from fertilizers to cancer treatments. Most of these chemicals have not been approved for human consumption.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common side effects of synthetic marijuana abuse include high blood pressure, anxiety, seizures, paranoia, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, excessive sweating, confusion, heart attacks, hallucinations, and kidney damage. While some of its minor side effects are similar to those of real marijuana, there have been many accounts of severe side effects and even death.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Long term abuse of synthetic marijuana can lead to both physical and psychological addiction. Its mind-altering properties can easily cause a person to become hooked. Addiction is characterized by the continued use of a substance even when the user is already struggling with its adverse effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A person’s health may deteriorate over time as they take larger doses of synthetic marijuana. They will begin prioritizing the drug over everything else, and may even lose interest in activities they used to enjoy. Some addicted individuals try to hide their substance abuse.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Loved ones will notice sudden changes in the addicted individual’s behavior. They will be unable to stop taking synthetic marijuana even if they want to. When a person attempts to quit on their own, they may suffer from withdrawal symptoms and intense cravings.</span></p></div>

A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the years, the number of emergency room visits related to stimulants has steadily increased. Back in 2004, there were 2,303 of such cases, while in 2011 this number jumped to 17,272.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2011, 38 percent of emergency room visits that involved stimulants also involved alcohol. And in 2012, there were around 1.2 million non-medical users of prescription stimulants aged 12 and above in the United States.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stimulant abuse is very common and a lot of people eventually develop an addiction. In fact, nearly 360,000 people received treatment for this type of addiction in 2012.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because of their potentially deadly effects, it is important to take a look at some of the most common stimulants and their effects.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/is-cocaine-a-stimulant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stimulants are basically the opposite of depressants</a>. While depressants work by slowing down brain activity, stimulants speed it up by increasing cognitive function.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the name suggests, these drugs “stimulate” the central nervous system, making the user more alert. More specifically, these drugs increase the amounts of the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. The increase in these chemicals improves concentration while also decreasing fatigue. This is why stimulants are commonly given to people struggling with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are plenty of stimulants that are used as prescription medications, there are also a few that are illicit substances, such as cocaine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stimulants may be taken orally, but they are sometimes snorted or injected by recreational users. People who abuse stimulants are at risk of severe negative health effects and addiction.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amphetamines, dextroamphetamines, and methylphenidates are some of the most commonly prescribed stimulants. Because stimulants can increase energy, alertness, and concentration, they are used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy. In other cases, they are also used to treat obesity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Examples of commonly prescribed stimulants are the following:</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from recreational users, students and athletes who want to enhance their performance are the most likely to abuse stimulants.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prescription stimulants are classified as Schedule II drugs under the Controlled Substances Act. This means they have a high potential for abuse. In fact, approximately 900,000 Americans abuse prescription stimulants each month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a person takes stimulants, they may experience effects like euphoria, decreased appetite, wakefulness, increased energy, sleeping difficulties, nervousness, and increased blood pressure. They may also become more talkative during this time.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite their inherent benefits, stimulants have dangerous side effects, especially when abused. If a person misuses their prescription or abuses stimulants to get high, their risk of developing addiction is increased.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stimulants produce dopamine, which is also the pleasure-inducing chemical in the brain. This activates the brain’s reward system. Continued abuse of stimulants will condition the brain into becoming dependent on the substance. When the person stops taking the drug, they will go through withdrawal and experience intense cravings.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addicted individuals will prioritize stimulants over everything else. They will lose interest in things they used to enjoy and they will start neglecting their responsibilities in favor of taking the drug.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addiction is characterized by the continued use of a certain drug even when the person is already experiencing its negative effects. They may suffer from health problems, mental health problems, financial problems, etc. Their continued drug abuse may also affect their relationships with the people around them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

Simply quitting may not change the psychological aspect of addiction. Some people quit for a while, and then take drugs or alcohol again, only to overdose because they did not detox properly. Recovery involves changing the way the patient feels, thinks, and behaves.</p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/what-to-know-about-marijuana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marijuana</a> is the most commonly abused illicit substance. In fact, more than 4 million Americans reportedly have a dependence on marijuana. This drug, which is acquired from the cannabis plant, is legal in some states and illegal in others. Some states permit the medical use of marijuana, while some others have also legalized recreational marijuana.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cannabis plant is typically dried out, ground up, and smoked: either in paper like a cigarette or in a pipe like tobacco. It may also come in the form of edibles, which are foods that contain marijuana’s active ingredient, Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC. It is placed in baked goods and candies, and can produce the same effects as smoking it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some recreational users consume a resin-like substance, often referred to as “dabs,” that is concentrated from the plant. It may come in the form of a viscous liquid, a wax-like substance, or a hard, crystallized material similar to hard candy. It produces a far more intense high compared to “regular” marijuana. Dabs are sometimes called wax, budder, or shatter. Dabs are made in several ways, but most commonly with butane or isopropyl alcohol, both of which can be very dangerous.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marijuana may be used medically for stress and pain relief. It is also used to increase appetite. Similarly, recreational users take marijuana for its calming effects and to achieve a high. Common street names for marijuana include pot, dope, grass, mary jane, ganja, reefer, and weed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From 2006 to 2012, daily use of marijuana among Americans increased by 2.3 million people. Marijuana was also the main drug of choice for 18 percent of people who entered rehabilitation programs in 2009.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite a long history of legislation for and against its use, it is widely accepted that both marijuana addiction and withdrawal are real. To this day, there is a lot of misinformation about the risks of marijuana use.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a psychoactive drug, marijuana can alter a user’s perception. Marijuana contains THC, which is the chemical compound that causes the drug’s effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The drug’s impact may vary from person to person. The effects may be different for everyone, depending on how it is consumed and how much is taken. Smoking marijuana, for example, produces a faster yet short-lived high compared to taking it orally.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dabs, on the other hand, can have effects that last for hours due to their concentrated amounts of THC. It is interesting to note that the THC content of marijuana has increased by as much as 300 percent since the 1960s. This affects marijuana abuse and tolerance. The higher doses of THC in today’s marijuana can increase the risk of intoxication-related dangers. It also means marijuana users nowadays are at a higher risk of developing drug dependence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Effects of marijuana include euphoria, mild hallucinations, increased appetite, and reduced anxiety. These effects are considered desirable by many users, which is why they are motivated to keep taking marijuana.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marijuana has an added advantage of having virtually no risk of causing an overdose. Despite this, marijuana still comprises the second highest rates of emergency room visits caused by abusing an illicit substance. It is second only to cocaine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These hospital visits are mostly related to accidents that occurred when individuals were intoxicated.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marijuana addiction, just like any other addiction, can have a severe negative impact on a person’s life. People can develop a psychological dependence on the drug in the same way other addictions can develop. Marijuana addiction can be clinically diagnosed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addiction forms because of the way marijuana interacts with the brain. When a person takes marijuana, cannabinoid receptors in their brain are activated by a neurotransmitter called Anandamide. THC mimics and blocks the actions of these neurotransmitters, to the point where the body no longer produces sufficient Anandamide on its own.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marijuana reprograms the user’s brain to need the drug and form a dependence. This is why over time, marijuana users start to feel like they cannot function normally without using the drug. They need to take it just to feel normal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When the user stops bringing more THC into the body, they go into withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms may manifest due to the lack of Anandamide. Repeatedly attempting to quit marijuana and failing each time is a strong indication of an addiction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addiction has its physical and mental health effects—but it also has immediate social consequences such as legal complications, falling behind in school, having problems at work, and ruining relationships. Addiction is characterized by the continued use of marijuana despite already suffering from its consequences. The user may neglect their responsibilities and lose interest in their hobbies, as they begin to prioritize marijuana over everything else. Their days will revolve around acquiring and using the drug.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marijuana is recognized as a common gateway drug. Experimenting with this substance often leads to the abuse of harder drugs like cocaine, heroin, or ecstasy. Its reputation as a gateway drug is mostly attributed to teenage <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/marijuana-information/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marijuana use</a>, because teens are more likely to experiment with other drugs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DMT, also known as N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that is illegal in the United States, as well as many other countries. Although there is a debate on whether this <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug</a> is addictive, it is important to keep in mind that it presents serious physical and psychological dangers, especially for frequent users who develop dependence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This chemical actually develops naturally in the brain. But DMT is also found in plants that are indigenous to Central and South America. As a drug, it takes the form of a white powder.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To experience its effects, users smoke DMT with a pipe. Others brew it into drinks like Ayahuasca and yagé. Some DMT users inject the drug directly into their bloodstream; however, this is much less common.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DMT is sometimes referred to as “fantasia” or “dimitri” because of its hallucinogenic effects. DMT is one of the least commonly-used drugs in the United States and throughout the world. It is interesting to note that most people who try DMT have already experimented with other hallucinogens.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a person takes DMT, it stimulates the production of serotonin within their brain. This is a neurotransmitter that causes feelings of happiness. This means DMT can cause intense feelings of euphoria. It also causes vivid hallucinations and altered perceptions of reality. People described it as a “life-changing” sensation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A DMT “trip” generally lasts less than an hour when users smoke the drug. If they brew DMT and drink it, the effects will kick in after about thirty minutes, after which they will hallucinate for four to six hours. The drug may leave mild, lingering effects for several days.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the effects of DMT are primarily psychological, it also has physiological effects. Taking this drug can cause adverse side effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A person who has taken DMT may exhibit symptoms like headache, dizziness, increased body temperature, dilated pupils, rapid eye movement, increased heart rate, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, loss of muscle control, and pain in the chest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many users promote the “benefits” of DMT, but the drug is not safe. The substance can substantially harm a person’s physical and mental well-being. High doses of the drug may send the body into a serotonin overdose. It may cause seizures, obstruct breathing, or induce a coma. In some cases, DMT overdose can be fatal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While it is true that DMT can give users a positive psychological experience, more people have suffered because of its adverse effects. DMT trips are also unpredictable—with some users experiencing traumatic, confusing, or terrifying hallucinations.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unlike most hallucinogens, there is little evidence that this drug causes tolerance or any physical withdrawal symptoms. Because of this, researchers generally do not believe that DMT is addictive. There is also no evidence that using DMT on a long term basis significantly changes or damages a person’s brain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, DMT can cause psychological dependence, as it gives the user a maladaptive coping mechanism that helps them escape reality. The limited studies on the topic of DMT dependence suggest that DMT users can develop cravings for the drug and experience psychological distress when they cannot use it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, the potential physical dangers of DMT should not be ignored. As a person abuses this drug, they become more and more exposed to its serious health risks. Some users begin to take higher and more frequent doses of the drug, spending more money on it and neglecting their responsibilities. These are both characteristics of an addicted individual.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DMT has been a Schedule 1 controlled substance since 1971. The US government considers DMT to have no legitimate medical purpose and imposes heavy fines and decades in prison as punishment for its possession, manufacture, and sale.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, DMT is part of the rituals and traditions of several indigenous South American religions. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government cannot prevent practitioners of religions which consider DMT to be sacred from using the drug as part of their religious expression. Nevertheless, DMT remains illegal for the vast majority of Americans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/inpatient-drug-alcohol-rehab-near-me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a comprehensive program</a> tailored to their specific needs is necessary.

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meth is widely known as a highly addictive and dangerous drug. Anyone who becomes addicted requires help from medical professionals and addiction experts to break the cycle of abuse. This is because meth addiction has both physical and mental health effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It can be extremely difficult to regain sobriety all on your own, especially once dependence has set in. It may feel impossible to regain your self-control. But with proper treatment, people who are addicted to meth can start rebuilding their lives.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With that in mind, it is very important to take a closer look at what the drug does and how it affects people. This will help loved ones to spot the early signs of addiction and hopefully stop it before it develops into a life-threatening condition. This should also motivate people to avoid meth and other addictive substances in the first place, to reduce the risk of getting addicted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/methamphetamine/how-to-quit-methamphetamine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meth abuse is a common problem</a>. In 2017, more than 960,000 people in the US over the age of 12 had a meth use disorder. That same year, 1.6 million people reportedly used the drug within the last 12 months.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The dangerous substance is costing the United States around $550 million in drug treatment programs every year.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Methamphetamine, more commonly known as meth, is a stimulant for the central nervous system. Its primary ingredient is amphetamine, which is mixed with other substances.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meth comes in the form of a white crystalline powder, but it can sometimes be yellow, pink, or brown.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was in 1970 that the FDA began to regulate this drug by classifying it as a Schedule II substance. Before then, meth was legally available as a decongestant and even as a weight loss aid.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because of its availability, many people abused meth and took it recreationally as a stimulant—which led to the FDA’s decision to control the substance. It is worth noting that there is still one version of methamphetamine that is available as a prescription drug. Desoxyn is still on the market and is used for the treatment of ADHD and obesity.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People who abuse meth typically do so by snorting, smoking, or injecting the drug. Recreational users only abuse the illicit forms of the substance, meth and crystal meth. In rare occasions, meth is compressed into pill form and then taken orally.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crystal meth is a form of methamphetamine that is usually smoked. This crystal-like substance is either clear or blue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meth and crystal meth have street names such as glass, crystal, ice, crank, tweak, chalk, and redneck cocaine.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from the fact that meth itself is very dangerous, sometimes drug dealers would “cut” meth with other substances to score a bigger profit. The meth is cut with opioids, antidepressants, and other prescription medications so they could sell less of the actual meth for the same price.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, this is extremely dangerous for the person taking the “cut” version of meth. Because of the drug’s interactions with other substances, the likelihood of suffering from an overdose is significantly higher. It can even be fatal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It goes without saying that taking meth is considered drug abuse. But people abuse this drug anyway because of the intensely euphoric high that it produces. When taken, meth causes an increase in blood pressure as well as heart rate. It triggers the neurotransmitters in the brain that activate the reward system. This is the addictive sensation that gets people hooked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The initial rush lasts up to 30 minutes, but the high itself can last from 8 to 24 hours. This also depends on the method of administration. While injecting meth directly into the bloodstream causes a stronger high than snorting the drug, the high also wears off more quickly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addicted individuals stay up for days in a row just to keep the high going.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Signs of meth abuse include hyperactivity, talkativeness, elation, alertness, loss of appetite, agitation, paranoia, confusion, irritability, anxiety, aggression, insomnia, tremors, and irregular heartbeat. If you think someone you care about is abusing meth, watch out for these signs and other uncharacteristic behavior.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Continued abuse of meth may lead to “meth mouth” and tooth decay. They may get skin sores and infections from picking at their skin—a common behavior among those who abuse meth.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like other <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drugs</a>, meth addiction is characterized by the inability to quit the substance even when the person is already suffering from its negative health effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meth can cause addiction even after the first time someone takes the drug. The intense dopamine rush that meth induces may motivate the user to keep taking the substance again and again, just to feel that high.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is common among meth users to stay high for days at a time by taking the drug over a period of several days. This leads to tolerance, which easily leads to dependence. Drug dependence means that the body has adjusted to the presence of the drug and can no longer feel “normal” without it. This is why some people go through severe withdrawal once they attempt to quit a certain drug. The same thing applies to meth addiction and dependence. Withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, fatigue, depression, and insomnia. Withdrawal often motivates meth users to keep taking the drug.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Repeatedly attempting to quit and then relapsing is another indication of addiction.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from the fact that some drug dealers will cut methamphetamine with other substances, there are also some meth users who deliberately take it with other substances. We need to emphasize that the risk of a fatal overdose when doing so is very high, as even meth alone is an extremely potent drug.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol is one of the substances that is most commonly taken with meth. Some people drink alcohol and take meth at the same time to get an even stronger high. Doing so can be fatal, as the drug combination increases the risk of overdose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol has sedative effects while meth has a stimulant effect. Consuming both at the same time can lead to high blood pressure, chronic liver damage, cancer, and even death. It also increases the risk of experiencing hallucinations and developing psychosis.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another popular combination is meth and morphine. The combination of meth and an opioid is commonly referred to as “speedball.” As expected, the combination of these drugs produces a much greater high than either drug can generate separately.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking speedball causes problems with mobility, often making users struggle to walk properly. This makes them prone to accidents and injury—on top of the existing risk of overdose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, meth is sometimes combined with Xanax, particularly by users who are aware of meth’s anxiety-inducing properties. Knowing that meth can sometimes cause anxiety, some recreational users would take it with Xanax, which is a medication designed to combat anxiety. Although on paper that sounds like a good idea, this actually leads to even bigger problems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The combination of meth and Xanax is highly addictive, and it may cause heart problems. The fact that meth speeds up the heart while Xanax slows it down shows that this is not a match made in heaven. It can lead to heart arrhythmias, and even fatal heart failure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. Because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crack cocaine is so potent that an addiction can develop after the first use. Understanding crack cocaine addiction and its effects is one of the first steps in solving the problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crack cocaine is a hard, mineral-like substance with an off-white tint. It is made by mixing the powder form of cocaine with baking soda or ammonia. The mixture is then heated with a lighter or torch until it heats into a “rocky” form that is known as crack.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Users take crack cocaine by vaporizing it in a glass pipe and inhaling the substance. Others use soda cans or aluminum foil to heat it. Some recreational users inject crack to get an even more intense high.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The name “crack cocaine” comes from the cracking or popping sound that the substance makes when heated. Other street names include rocks, base, candy, kryptonite, cookies, sleet, hard, or sometimes just crack.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2006, crack cocaine was the primary drug of abuse in 178,475 admissions to treatment. This represents 71 percent of all primary cocaine admissions to treatment that year.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because crack cocaine is an illicit substance, any use of this drug is considered abuse. Crack <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/cocaine/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cocaine reaches the brain more quickly</a> because it is smoked rather than snorted, which means it produces an intense and immediate high.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After taking crack, a person may exhibit symptoms such as euphoria, hyperactivity, tension, talkativeness, excessive confidence, and other uncharacteristic behavior. Due to crack cocaine’s potency, there is a high risk of fatal overdose from using this drug. In fact, a person can overdose on crack even if it is their first time taking it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The need to experience crack’s pleasant, short-lived effects is what leads people to continuously abuse this drug. Thus, every time a person takes crack, they are at risk of an overdose.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone displays symptoms like dilated pupils and excessive sweating, they may be having an overdose. Someone who has overdosed may suffer from anxiety, aggression, seizures, rapid heart rate, chest pain, nausea, seizure, hallucinations, and stroke. Those with kidney problems or high blood pressure have a higher risk of fatal complications caused by smoking crack.</span></p></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crack is far more potent than regular cocaine. It is also therefore more addictive than regular cocaine. An addiction to crack develops rapidly—with many people becoming addicted after the first time they try it. Because the high they experience is so intense, they suddenly need more of the drug to maintain it. Eventually, the user needs to keep taking the drug just to feel normal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once addiction takes hold of a person, they also start becoming dependent on the <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug</a>. When they do, they become unable to quit without going through withdrawal. Strong cravings and withdrawal symptoms make it difficult for the person to recover without professional medical help.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An addicted individual will prioritize the drug over everything else. They will neglect their responsibilities and keep on seeking out the drug even when they are already experiencing its negative effects. The user may feel like crack is the only source of pleasure in the world. But just like how the brain is rewired to become dependent on crack cocaine, it can also be “rewired” to return to its original way of functioning.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

Simply quitting may not change the psychological aspect of addiction. Some people quit for a while, and then take drugs or alcohol again, only to overdose because they did not detox properly.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are approximately 22 million users of illicit drugs in the United States. This category of drugs is made up of some of the most prevalent and commonly abused substances in the world. Illicit drugs refer to drugs that are not only illegal but also highly addictive. Heroin, marijuana, and meth are all considered illicit drugs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While there is an element of choice when a person first uses one of these drugs, it quickly turns into something that is out of their control. Addiction is not voluntary—in fact it is a complex medical condition with both genetic and environmental factors. Quitting after developing one is significantly harder and is not up to a person’s willpower.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addictive substances rewire the person’s brain and change the way it works. This affects a person’s decision-making as well as their behavior. Unlike prescription medications, illicit drugs have no medical use.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Substance abuse disorder is a common problem. In fact, there were 19.8 million marijuana users aged 12 and up back in 2013. That same year, the number of people who used meth in the US reached 595,000. Studies show that rates of illicit drug use are highest among those aged 18 to 25.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These statistics paint a picture of a very serious substance abuse problem. In order to fully understand the effects of addiction, it is important to take a closer look at some of the most common types of illicit substances, and how they affect the person using them.</span></p></div>

It normally comes in a powder form and is commonly snorted or injected by recreational users. Street names for cocaine include blow, bump, coke, and snow. A more pure and potent form of cocaine is known as crack.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crack cocaine typically comes in solid blocks or crystals. Once it is smoked, it reaches the brain and creates a short-lived yet intense high.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ecstasy is considered a party <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drug</a> or rave drug. It is very popular among high school students and young adults. This is because it has psychoactive effects that cause enhanced sensory perception. It also lowers a person’s inhibitions. In a rave, the high caused by ecstasy enhances the social experience. Ecstasy is most commonly taken in pill form or dissolved in water. It can also be snorted or injected.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hallucinogens are psychoactive or mind-altering drugs. When taken, they cause severe auditory and visual hallucinations. While it is less likely for people to develop an addiction to this type of drug compared to other illicit drugs, abuse of these substances can still lead to adverse health effects. LSD, PCP, mushrooms, and salvia are all examples of hallucinogens.</span></p></div>

This makes it similar to the many prescription opioids available in the market. However, heroin is an extremely addictive substance that has no approved medical uses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It comes in the form of white or brownish powder, but it can also come in the form of a black tar-like substance. The latter is called black tar heroin. Heroin is commonly injected, but it can also be snorted, smoked, or taken orally.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If a person continues abusing a certain illicit drug for an extended period of time, they will likely develop tolerance for the substance. This means that in order to achieve the same high, they will have to take a higher dosage. This puts them at risk of overdose, especially when abusing some of the more potent illicit drugs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They will gradually develop physical dependence, which means that their body has adjusted to the constant presence of the drug. Once they are dependent on the drug, they will not be able to quit because of intense cravings and severe withdrawal symptoms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If they attempt to quit all of a sudden, their withdrawal symptoms will cause them to relapse. Withdrawal symptoms may range from moderate to severe. Heart palpitations and seizures are common examples of withdrawal symptoms, particularly for long term drug users.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is therefore very dangerous to quit without proper medical assistance. Addicted individuals need to go through a detox process in order to wean them off of the drug.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over time, the person may also develop psychological dependence on the substance. This is characterized by drug-seeking behavior and the compulsive need to take the drug. They will feel like they need the drug just to “feel normal”. While there is a desire to quit, they will not be able to.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most addicted people recognize the negative consequences of their drug use. But addiction itself prevents them from stopping on their own.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addicted individuals may also prioritize the drug over everything else. They will neglect their responsibilities, their relationships, and their loved ones in favor of the drug. They may get in trouble with the law or get into an accident. They may also lose interest in hobbies and activities that they used to enjoy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many illicit drugs pose serious and life-threatening health risks—even when taken in small doses. In fact, there are drugs that can cause addiction after a single use. Heroin is one such drug that poses a high threat of addiction and subsequent overdose. The number of deaths related to heroin and other opioids has substantially increased in the last decade. The number of opioid-related deaths grew by more than 4 times from 2002 to 2017.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcohol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alcohol addiction</a>, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>
