Distinguishing the “how?“ and “why?“

5、 of a persons drug use is rarely an easy task, but most people use a drug because they enjoy the effects. This may seem like a simplistic or insensitive statement, but its a fact thats easily forgotten by the people around the drug user, who are concerned and trying to understand why theyre using dr

6、ugs. Worried parents often ask for warning sings of drug use, but the simple answer is that its very hard to spot. Many users who have contact with mental health services manage to conceal their use from the professionals, so its obviously difficult to identify. Parents usually know their children b

7、etter than anyone else, and maintaining an open atmosphere in which communication is kept up is often the best way to find out whats going on. This is not always easy with teenagers, as they might view the methods parents use to find out if their children are using drugs as intrusive and controlling

8、. And angry confrontations with teenagers might push them further into a cycle of annoyance and refusal to communicate. The use of chemicals to alter the way we feel and see things in one of the oldest activities of the human race. But a persons use of a drug such as tobacco, alcohol, cannabis or he

9、roin can become uncontrolled, or start to control them. Even when the use of these drugs leads to serious physical and mental problems, the person may still not want to stop using them. But, if they do decide to give up, they may find it% harder than they thought. What Are the Symptoms? There are a

10、lot of confusing different words used to describe drug use and addiction problems. Not every expert will agree with the definitions here, but being consistent with the terms used helps to reduce the confusion and anxiety everyone feels when faced with this problem. Each drug has different patterns o

11、f: use; poison; overdose; hangover(残留 ). For each different drug, the “substance abuse“ can cover different levels of use, including: experimenting with use; using large amounts without appearing poisoned; using large amounts to get poisoned. Psychological Addiction The medias picture of a person gi

12、ving up drugs usually focuses on the immediate effects of withdrawing from heroin. Its important to remember that theres often more to an addiction than the physical withdrawal symptoms. In fact, for some drugs such as cannabis or heroin, theres a debate about whether there are actually any physical

13、 symptoms of withdrawal. People who use heroin regularly over a long period may find that there are certain situations where they come to rely on the drug. If they stop using the drug, they may feel very disabled. This is a situation that can develop for almost any substance that effects the mind, a

14、nd this aspect of addiction can be harder to overcome than the physical symptoms. Mental symptoms can include: anxiety; depression; sleep and rest; controlling mood; relearning different coping skills. The pattern of these symptoms will depend on the drug used, the psychological make-up of the perso

15、n and the circumstances under which they are attempting to remain drug-free. The term craving is often used when talking about psychological addiction. If a person is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above and they know that by using the drug all these problem will go away, its not surprising

16、 that they develop an overwhelming desire to use, and this dominates their thoughts. Physical Addiction Its ironic that through films, such as Trainspotting, quite a lot of people feel that they understand the physical withdrawal from heroin. They rightly see it as an unpleasant and difficult experi

17、ence and a good reason not to experiment with it. The irony is that alcohol has a much worse and more dangerous withdrawal effect. Its possible, but very rare for someone experiencing heroin withdrawal to need to be admitted to hospital; while someone who is physically addicted to alcohol should not

18、 attempt to stop using it without consulting a doctor. Again, as with psychological addiction, the length and severity of withdrawal differs according to the drug, how much has been taken and for haw long. For most addicts, their problem is a mixture of both physical and psychological aspects. There

19、 are some instances when its difficult to distinguish between the two. The stimulants cocaine and amphetamine (安非他明 ) are classic examples of this people coming down after using the drugs feel very low and lack energy. When they take cocaine, they feel very high and use up lots of energy. Their feel

20、ings afterwards could be partly because of feeling tired and adjusting to a normal mood again, but there are other theories that suggest these feelings are because the body is re-establishing its chemical balance. What Can I Do to Help Myself? The old saying admitting you have a problem is half of s

21、olving the problem is very applicable. The next step is to get support. If youre physically addicted, it may be dangerous to just stop especially if youre using alcohol. Even if it isnt dangerous to just stop, a doctor may be able to prescribe medication to help you through the first phase of withdr

22、awal. Not all family doctors are happy to help with this problem, so if yours isnt, its probably best to approach your local drug dependence unit (DDU).Its also vital to get other forms of support and counseling - see the resources listed below.
