Drug - Cocaine and Addiction

Drug - Cocaine
Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain. Cocaine has been labeled the drug of the 1980s and '90s, because of its extensive popularity and use during this period. However, cocaine is not a new drug. In fact, it is one of the oldest known drugs. The pure chemical, cocaine hydrochloride, has been an abused substance for more than 100 years, and coca leaves, the source of cocaine, have been ingested for thousands of years. There are basically two chemical forms of cocaine: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The hydrochloride salt, or powdered form of cocaine, dissolves in water and, when abused, can be taken intravenously (by vein) or intranasal (in the nose). Freebase refers to a compound that has not been neutralized by an acid to make the hydrochloride salt. The freebase form of cocaine is smokable.

Drug Addiction Rehab and Addiction

Drug Addiction Rehab
If we understand rehabilitation as restoring someone or something to a previous or improved state, then we can get a good idea of what should occur at a drug addiction rehab. A truly effective drug or alcohol addiction rehab does much, much more than simply get someone off drugs. The assist the individual in locating and handling the barriers to continued sobriety. The barriers of cravings (mental and physical), guilt created and felt that is hard to live with, and depression as the result of the addictive lifestyle are the barriers that left unhandled, leave the entire subject of addiction unhandled. With these points fully handled and addressed one can achieve lasting sobriety, with unhandled the only other choices are death or jail. This is the reality of addiction no matter how harsh it may sound.

 

Drug Use and Addiction

Drug Use
Drugs are used in an attempt to handle pain, be it emotional or physical or both. The person decides to use a drug or alcohol to reduce discomfort derived from the problem or pain and finds only limited relief but now assigns value to the drug. Thus he returns to the drug or alcohol for more and more use. At best the drugs simply mask the symptoms of emotional or physical pain. As time goes on the drug or alcohol is used more and more and tolerance for the drug increased the quantity needed to achieve the same results. Often before the person is really aware of it he now addicted and craves this relief all the time and will do whatever is necessary to obtain the drug or alcohol. The debilitating effects of the drugs can and do create more and more mental and physical problems and pains which often leads to the use of other addictive drugs in an endless downward spiral.
