Why do some people get addicted to substances and the other not? Determination of the genes that is addicted; the parents fault?

While many of the safe, then in the opposite direction of the finger, it would help to know what are the factors involved in coming to rely on.

Some people are predisposed for abuse studies, on the basis of race or their grandparents. This is interesting, but it does not solve the problems of drug abuse. It may also continue on the trend.

Factually contaminated by drugs, the environment can be used down to even a straight edge (drug-free person). But the straight edge has agreed to take drugs for drugs and then the service is to be effected.

What about the attitude of the drugs?

Drug Addiction - Is it Hereditary?

Written By Hendrafa on Sabtu, 31 Maret 2012 | 11.25

drug addictAccording to a research study conducted by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (NCADI), children of alcoholic parents are four times likely to be an alcoholic than any other children. It simply means that children of alcoholic parents are at higher risk of becoming alcoholic than children whose parents are not alcoholic. But, it does not prove that the problem of alcoholism is hereditary. If proper care and precaution is taken, it can usually skip from generation to generation. But, it is difficult to deny that alcoholism has genetic factors.


Following three major factors are responsible for causing drug addiction in a person:


Personal Habits:


Children of alcoholic parents see a lot of alcohol at home. They gradually get used to have alcohol everywhere. Chances are high of their picking and tasting drinks.


Surrounding Environment:


The environment is very much responsible for causing drug addiction problems in a person. Children, who see alcohol, at home everywhere usually witness unhappiness, bereft of love and care from family and feel insecurity often. So, an unhappy childhood contributes a lot in the development of alcohol problems at the adult age.


Heredity:


Heredity or family linage plays an important role in getting alcohol patterns in a person. Usually, sons tend to affect more than daughters of a family. Many studies have revealed that children face risk of almost 50% if their parents are involved in alcoholism. So, children of alcoholic parents must take care of themselves properly. They should monitor their behavior and actions closely to detect the possible signs frequently. If detected, look for effective solutions at the earliest.

The reality of Drug Addiction

Written By Hendrafa on Rabu, 28 Maret 2012 | 23.05

If you have a drug addiction that is escalating out of control and you are not sure how to cope, it's time to consider getting professional help to see you through the withdrawal stage. Substance abuse affects so many and even though you probably feel isolated and afraid, you are not alone. Irrespective of the hold the drugs may have over you right now, there is always hope for full recovery and understanding why you became addicted can help.

Drug addiction often starts by simple experimentation, you may have felt a natural curiosity if friends or colleagues were taking drugs and at first, the drugs probably offered you a solution to a problem and so you continued. Many drug addicts feel that they are in control of their drug taking but in reality, as the addiction escalates, your ability to stop taking the drugs is compromised.

Drugs offer a type of escape. Perhaps you felt depressed or lonely or needed to numb any emotional or physical traumas, it is a misconception of course that drugs are the answer as they simply mask the underlying problems.


Some addicts feel that they are weak to have started taking drugs and cannot understand why they cannot stop, but having a drug addiction does not make you a lesser person, it just means that you were more vulnerable and susceptible at that time. Stopping isn't all about willpower and suddenly making up your mind to stop, the drug affects your brain which makes you experience overwhelming cravings for more, and this is why it is difficult to quit. Denial is very common and you may not even be aware of the extent of your problem, for example:

Are you taking more drugs to achieve the same effect?Have you been in trouble with the law through your drug taking?Are your relationships becoming difficult?Are you becoming unpredictable when taking drugs and putting yourself in dangerous situations?Are you becoming unreliable and neglecting important duties?

If you seriously wish to give up drugs, speaking to a trained counsellor can make all the difference. Family and friends may wish to be supportive but sometimes, their need to get you better can make you feel guilty by the continual compulsion to take more drugs, whereas a professional counsellor will understand the compulsions that drive you and will be non judgemental.

If you have tried to give up before but lapsed, don't think that addiction help will be less successful this time. Unfortunately addiction recovery may take some time and there can be set-backs en-route, these set-backs often cause despondency and increased feelings of failure and guilt, but don't worry, you can get your treatment back on track.

Overcoming your addiction will mean making significant changes to your lifestyle and this includes potentially avoiding others who are taking drugs as this will help you to avoid temptation. Try to hold on to the fact that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that you are doing a brave thing, you should not feel ashamed or try to punish yourself. The chemicals within the drugs will have altered your brain and will have stopped you thinking rationally, this is what makes drugs so very dangerous. If you wish to overcome your drug addiction, remain resolute, ask for help and know that you are starting on the road to recovery, it make take some time, but the end is in sight.

Drug Addiction - Understanding the Nature of Addiction to ...

Written By Hendrafa on Minggu, 25 Maret 2012 | 20.07

drug addictEarly addiction recovery is a fragile thing. One of the most frequent contributing factors in relapse is something we call "cross-addiction". Essentially what cross-addiction means, is that if you are alcoholic or addicted to other mood altering drugs, you a potentially addicted to all mood altering drugs.  


To truly understand cross-addiction, you must appreciate the character of addiction and the nature of mood/mind altering drugs.  


Addiction is a disease. It is frequently described as a primary, chronic, progressive, and relapsing disease.  Research in the last decade tells us that addiction is a brain disease. 


People are often reluctant to acknowledge addiction as a disease because of voluntary first use of the chemical.  Although someone chooses to use alcohol or other drugs initially, the changes that occur in the brain over time do not reflect a deliberate choice.  Addiction changes the neuropathways of the mind.  These changes are suspected of creating the thinking and feeling distortions that lead to the compulsion to consume drugs despite the obvious negative consequences. Thus, the nature of addiction is that of compulsive drug use despite negative consequences.  This "compulsive use despite negative consequences" observation has become an part of an accepted definition of addiction. 


Addiction induced brain changes are common to all drug addictions and some process addictions (e.g. compulsive behavioral addictions such as gambling addiction, compulsive overeating, sexual addiction). Addiction also involves a bio psychosocial combination of factors in the genesis, maintenance, and recovery.  It has been said in the addictions field for a long time that certain people are "hardwired" for addiction, due to biology (i.e., genetics), and become addicted with first use of any mood altering drug.  


The nature of mood/mind altering drugs is that they drug your feelings, thoughts, and behavior. They distort your reality or they allow you to escape or ignore reality. Any mood/mind altering drug can be cross addictive.  It is the mood altering effects of drugs that people are addicted to.  You choose a particular drug for its unique pharmaceutic effects, based on your own individual needs.  As your needs change, your drug of choice may change.  The effects of the drug on your body can change over time as well.   


Other variables are often involved in an addict's choice of drug.  Consciously or unconsciously, other factors, like availability, "social acceptability", perceived lack of negative consequences, and cost may be part of the selection process. 


Mood altering drugs operating in the altered brain neuropathways are self reinforcing in a number of ways. They meet specific individual needs (relaxation, feelings numbing, reducing behavioral inhibitions, etc.), which is self-reinforcing.  The altered neuropathways help maintain the compulsion. The specific drug(s) selected meets individual needs over time so that living skills to meet those same needs do not develop.  A common example is where a drug is chosen for its anxiety reduction properties because the addicted individual has few if any anxiety reduction skills.  When stress and anxiety levels exceed some threshold, relief will be sought.  Without skills to reduce the anxiety, a pharmaceutical solution will be sought, regardless of whether the drug is last drug of choice or a substitute.  This is one reason why it is so crucial to identify the roles that the chemicals have played in a recovering person's life, and to develop the living skills with which to replace those roles.  


When a person in recovery acknowledges the problems caused by the drug of choice and believes that s/he can safely use a different drug of choice, they are not taking into account the fact the "new drug". like the "old drug" will still operate in the brain in the same way(s).  When an addict substitutes one drug for another they are not abstinent.  His/her brain is still in an active state of addiction.  Thus, someone who is addicted to one mood altering drug is addicted to all mood altering drugs.  


An addicted brain is qualitatively changed.  Changing drugs of choice does not return an addict to a non-addicted state.  An addicted person will continue to experience the same negative consequences of drug use.  You cannot regain persistent control over drug use by changing drugs.


Many people, in the process of trying to regain control over their life, chase an "illusion of control", believing that the latest attempt at control (switching drugs) has, and will have a lasting effect and that control is once again re-established. It has not. It is only a matter of time, usually a short amount of time.


To successfully prevent relapse, you must be able to understand the nature of addiction and cross-addiction. One of the most frequent causes of relapse is cross-addiction.
