What are some of the signs to look for?
2007-06-21 12:58:00 CHANGE IN PERSONALITY - Your loving child turns mean. This can happen with the onset of puberty, but it is much worse when there is substance abuse going on. Do you feel like no matter what you say or do, you just can't win? Are you afraid or reluctant to confront your child due to violent outbursts or reactions from them when you attempt to inquire about any part of their lives? Just remember, when a kid is backed into a corner, he may have discovered that the best defense is an offense, and many teens, particularly boys, find that by coming back with loud yelling, they can be very intimidating to their mothers. Suspect drug use if your child has lately become very irritable, unpleasant to or bullying of other family members, very easy to provoke, starts to use a lot of profanity seems tired, worn out and apathetic a lot of the time, or develops a nagging cough, appears to have the sniffles or runny nose, or develops nosebleeds frequently.CHANGE IN APPEARANCE - Your child's app...

Why do people use and abuse drugs?
2007-06-17 15:00:00 There are many reasons why people use drugs. Some people use drugs because they like the rush it gives them or because they are thrill-seekers. Others may try a drug out of curiosity or because their friends do it. However, many people use drugs in order to cope with unpleasant emotions and the difficulties of life. In fact, the National Alliance on Mental Illness estimates that around 50% of drug abusers also suffer from a mental illness such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.People who are suffering emotionally use drugs—not in order to get high—but to feel normal.

However while drug use might make a person feel better in the short-term, this attempt to self-medicate ultimately backfires. Instead of treating the underlying problem, drug use ...

What are the signs and symptoms of drug addiction and abuse?
2007-06-17 14:59:00 The more drug use begins to affect and control a person's life, the more likely it is that he or she has a drug problem. Unfortunately, substance abusers are often the last ones to recognize their own symptoms of dependence and addiction.

Frequently borrowing money, selling possessions, or stealing items from employer, home, or school. Angry outbursts, mood swings, irritability, manic behavior, or overall attitude change.

What is drug abuse and substance abuse?
2007-06-17 14:58:00 Drug abuse, also known as substance abuse, involves the repeated and excessive use of a drug to produce pleasure or escape reality—despite its destructive effects. The substances abused can be illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine, or legal substances used improperly, such as prescription drugs and inhalants like nail polish or gasoline. But whatever the drug of choice, substance abuse can be identified by the maladaptive way in which it takes over the user's life, disrupting his or her relationships, daily functioning, and peace of mind.For those in the grips of drug abuse and addiction, their drug controls them, not the other way around. “Uncontrollable, compulsive drug seeking and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences” is the essence of drug addiction. Drug addiction can be physical, psychological, or both. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration refers to psychological dependence as “the subjective feeling that the ...

fpa Response To 'Sex, Drugs, Alcohol And Young People' Report, UK
2007-06-17 14:56:00 Responding to the publication of the Independent Advisory Group (IAG) on Sexual Health and HIV seminar report 'Sex, Drugs , Alcohol and Young People ' Anne Weyman, Chief Executive fpa said: "fpa welcomes this report and supports all findings of the review. We have to recognise that drugs and alcohol influence some young people's sexual behaviour consequently putting them at risk. This is why we need a national strategy relevant to young people's experiences. It would also connect the work of different organisations that are currently operating in isolation from each other. "As this report shows, young people receive messages and behavioural cues not just from family and friends but from different sources including advertising and the media. We know from the community based work fpa does with young people that this can affect decision-making. For the first time fpa will be including information about sex, drugs and alcohol in our campaign information for Sexual Health Week[1]. "Yet... More About: Report
