Drug Addiction

The make up of drug addiction is expansive. The fact is there are many types of drugs out their, both illicit and medical, that have a highly addictive makeup. Abuse of these drugs can lead to addiction and chemical dependency. Now there are many different desired affects caused by drugs of abuse. The two most treated types of drug addiction are stimulants and depressants. There are other classifications of drugs, but these two are the ones that possess most of the addiction problem.

Stimulants- are called such for their reaction to the brain and body. They stimulate the senses and heighten the awareness of the individual. This also increases the functions of the body; most notably the heart rate. Stimulants are a fast acting high. This requires the individual using stimulants to continue use for extended periods of time to maintain the sensation or feeling of euphoria. The two most common forms of stimulants are cocaine and methamphetamine. The derivatives of these drugs such as crack cocaine and crystal meth are also highly addictive forms of stimulant that are introduced through the body by smoking. Cocaine addiction used to be a major problem in this country, but it has been on the decline in recent years.

Depressants- are the adverse reaction to the body then stimulants. Depressants slow the functions of the brain and body. This equally causes an initial reaction of drowsiness and sleep. The body's functions are greatly slowed when a depressant is introduced into the system. Respiratory and heart rate functions slowdown down considerably. Depressants also create a sensation of euphoria from taking them. Most commonly it is this feeling of euphoria that fuels drug addiction. The most common illicit depressants are heroin, marijuana, and opiates. Other things are also classed as depressants such as alcohol and prescription drugs.

Over time the body can develop an addiction to these types of drugs. Addiction is controlling and becomes the all important aspect of that individual's life. A form of addiction rehab or drug rehab program becomes the best possible answer to ending the stranglehold that drug addiction can have on the individual.

Prescription Drug Addiction

A growing concern in drug enforcement and addiction treatment is in the alarming increase of prescription drug addiction cases facing the United States as of late. Prescription drugs are effective at treating maladies of a medical nature. Most prescription drugs however are meant to be used as a short term solution for such a medical problem. Many prescription drugs are highly addictive. They cover both spectrums of stimulants and depressants. An extended exposure to using such prescription drugs can result in habits of abuse and possibly the development of addiction.

The most common class of prescription drug addiction is that of an opioid addiction. Opioids are a synthetic form of opiates found in many pain relief and cough suppressant medications. The two chief ingredients that make up an opioid is either hydrocodone or oxycodone. These medications are good at what they are prescribed for, but the euphoric sensation caused by the opioid ingredient increases the risk of possible abuse and addiction. Opioids that are commonly abused have brand names like Lortab, Percocet, Percodan, Vicodin, and OxyContin.

Central nervous system depressants come in many forms. There is a growing concern with a particular type of prescription drug that is a CNS depressant call benzodiazepine. These drugs are commonly prescribed for the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders. They are effective for what they do, but there is also a problem of chemical and psychological dependency. Benzodiazepine medications can develop into a difficult addiction. This is due to the psychological issues that can develop as a result of addiction withdrawal. Common Benzodiazepines are Xanax, Valium and Librium. They are effective drugs at treating anxiety, but also have negative addictive consequences to some.

Alcohol Addiction

There is no substance addiction problem like alcohol addiction. Most addiction rehab facilities treat more alcohol related addictions than all other drugs combined. Part of this is due to the availability of alcohol, and part of simply the addictiveness of alcohol. Over time the subtle abuse of alcohol can increase into a major life threatening battle with addiction and alcoholism.

Alcoholism is when the body develops a chemical dependency to drinking alcohol. Alcoholism requires detox and addiction treatment to be effectively overcome. Overcoming alcoholism on ones own can be dangerous, if not deadly. The withdrawal symptoms of alcohol are by far the most severe, and medical detoxification is required to treat any life threatening elements of alcoholism withdrawal. An alcohol rehab is strongly recommended when dealing with alcoholism. Treatment professionals can make all the difference in overcoming alcoholism.
