When teaching chemical dependency, it is essential to start with a brief discussion about the differences between the substance "use" "abuse" and "addiction." "Use" includes the use of "appropriate" mood of alcohol or drugs. The intended use of a chemical means that the consumer of the chemical at the right time, in a suitable location and in the right quantities. E 'on the application of a drug in a way that meant to be usedand persons as appropriate, the consumer is defined.
If children are using alcohol (or other non-prescribed mood / mind altering drug), is considered an abuse. The consumption of alcohol (or non-prescribed mood / mind altering drugs) is considered child abuse. Every consumer is regarded as an abuse of illicit drugs. If someone has a prescription drug that was prescribed for someone else consumes, is considered an abuse. With the chemical form in a way thatContrary to the destination). This could also take other drugs in a manner not prescribed - in terms of quantity, shape or frequency. It could mean the chemical used at the wrong time or place. You could get drunk on alcohol here. Consumption is also unfair when the chemical on a greater importance in the lives of consumers.
Alcohol Addiction
"Abuse" includes the continued consumption of alcohol despite negative consequences. A person whodrink too much alcohol or too often can still abuse, must not only dependent on alcohol or alcoholic. The diagnostic criteria for abuse are a number of symptoms that do not meet the criteria for addiction, but also symptoms like this: continue to drink despite the problems in different areas of a drinker of life, impairment of ability to care for their roles and responsibilities, and drinking recurring situations that are dangerous (for example drunk driving).
Alcoholor drug abuse or dependence to be considered, if the above criteria are present, along with the following symptoms:
1 planned) under the influence of alcohol or other drugs in larger amounts for a longer period, 2) have tried and failed to reduce or stop, 3) spending a considerable amount of time to contain the chemical substance (alcohol to obtain ), use it, and to recover from its use, 4) a waiver or reduction of important activities such as social life, work or leisureActivities due to the chemical, 5) tolerance to the effects of alcohol or other drugs, 6) the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when you stop or reduce.
Tolerance is the need for more of the chemical to achieve the same results or effects of the same quantity of the chemical have a minor effect. Withdrawal symptoms include physical and psychological chemical derived from the stopped or significantly reduced.
Although the preceding descriptions are as usual criteria forclinical diagnostic purposes, think, use, abuse and addiction is a finite, discrete categories of problematic when you think of addiction as a chronic and progressive. The progression of addiction from first use until the end of the stage, there may be some or all of the previous descriptors from a point about "use" "abuse" before that "addiction" or "addiction." For some people "use" is not in progress stages. For others, used to obtain thenext step and stop. Alcoholics or drug addicts progress from use to addiction. The progression can be fast or slow. With the refusal, an alcoholic, show symptoms of alcoholism (identifiable by a professional) for a decade before an awareness of their personal dependence.
After the consumption of an addiction, can not "abuse" back. For some, the progression to addiction begins with the first use of alcohol and other drugs (AOD). For others, it could be a term,responsible consumption of alcohol (or drugs), which over time, before this model continues to later stages and finally into addiction. Some people experience a genetic predisposition to addiction. Others do not, but with time and become addicted to the behavior. Some people who use alcohol and other drugs (AOD) in their families of origin and experience in their genetic predisposition is not addictive.
While it seems reasonable to distinguish betweenand the use, abuse and dependence, a warning is appropriate. "Use" can not "use" when the environmental and genetic influences, have emotional and behavioral risk factors. "Use" may be the initial stage of the progression of addiction.
