Drug Rehabilitation

For a decade, organizations like the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) of the United States, have been issuing reports on the growth of prescription drug abuse. Since the 1990s, according to reports, the abuse of prescription drugs has grown by leaps and bounds, with opioids to the head. When the figures were received all drug deaths in 2007, found that deaths from prescription drugs (prescription drugs) had quadrupled between 1999 and 2007 and, in fact, exceeded the number of deaths from heroin and cocaine combined.

In its latest edition, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimates that 6,600 Americans start abusing prescription drugs every day, and a third are young people between 12 and 17 years of age. The 2010 report on Monitoring the Future drug use by teenagers, said Vicodin and OxyContin (oxycodone and hydrocodone) were among the prescription drugs most abused by teens. The single most frequently consumed drug was marijuana.

It was hoped that these high levels of abuse of prescription drugs (prescription drugs) will translate into increased demand for treatment of addiction to prescription drugs. And in the center Narconon drug rehabilitation in different parts of the United States, information about admission to treatment suggests that more and more and more people coming for help with addiction to prescription drugs .

The National Party will propose the JND called the Committee on Addictions of Parliament, to consult on policies they are implementing to combat alcohol and cocaine base and what their priorities in this year 2012.

Deputy of National Unity by the Deputy Veronica Alonso Gerardo Yellow both members of the Commission on Addiction propose the initiation of the Commission meetings this year with the call to the authorities of the National Drugs.

“Since the Commission on Addiction last year presented reports from all political parties which proposed several recommendations to the managers of drug policies. And we want to know what the developments were in this regard because we feel that the proposals presented have fallen on deaf ears.

Since the legislature also have a responsibility in this matter and why we work and collected a wealth of information of all social organizations, public and private institutions to analyze where the main problems and raise with the Government to take forward specific proposals. “

“Honestly I feel is that the government tends to normalize and trivialize drug use and its consequences. And the slogan seems to be that what we are powerless to change what we began to legalize. Statements about the possibility of legalizing cocaine worry me much. Not appear serious from the JND is said that consumers of Pasta Base in the country are only 7000 when we know not. Or they say we use the paste as a scapegoat to blame for all evils, when we see the real damage is causing in our society “ruled Alonso.

“It is inconceivable that if we say that this is a serious problem and is perceived as such, are not allocated the budget items and vocational training that the subject deserves.”

In what has to do with education, prevention, rehabilitation and treatment, the policy has been solid and consistent. “

The proposals submitted by the National Party:

1. That addiction is considered and treated as a disease and therefore is a public health problem and a social problem. It should strengthen access to a treatment system, extending coverage to the entire health system and include intermediate devices. Incorporate this problem to the obligations of the basket of benefits of collective health care institutions.

2. You are working in a coordinated manner, seeking more effective responses among civil society organizations that have great knowledge on the subject. The increase in organizations and institutions of civil society organizations seeking to respond to the seriousness of the phenomenon of the paste based on our country, should lead to tangible and positive results.

3. To strengthen the therapeutic communities as device initial consultation, because the existing demand levels to today go beyond the available devices. (NHRS is set, but is not being met).

4. Generated, treatment, rehabilitation and social reintegration of criminal offenders dependent on drugs, as an alternative to imprisonment. This is a must because the prison system has no treatment facilities. Given that the prison population has a dependent relationship with the drug in more than 70%.

5. To be included in primary and secondary school curriculum in the compulsory content aimed at preventing problem drug use. These last 5 years that have detected a significant increase in the consumption of legal and illegal drugs among young people and schools have not been efficient in the task of prevention and information on the harmful damage caused by the drug abuse.

6. Creación a fund that will draw on budgetary resources, resources of the National Integrated Health, and also have the output of the seizure of property obtained as a result of drug trafficking to be allocated to rehabilitation centers.

7. Establishing an emergency plan to provide progressive and inpatient treatment capacity and training for police officers to perform the primario.También approach is proposed to establish a referral protocol and implementation of a program of support and support for the Family of crack addict.

“We want to know if they pick up these and other proposals as well as we want to know what role they are fulfilling in this topic MIDES, Public Health-ASSE, MEC, INAU, all coordinated with the JND for the consumption approach cocaine base.”

“We should be alarmed by the suffering caused by cocaine base and drug use in our country. And what is most disconcerting is the lack of public attention necessary and essential to address this issue. “

“So I want to see the government to promote sound policies. These policies are urgently needed, “said the legislator.

“From here I strongly urge the government, those who manage public policy to take the necessary action steps to address this problem, so give it the attention it deserves. We can no longer afford to turn a deaf ear to the problems related to drug use, especially those related to alcohol and cocaine base, “concluded Alonso.

OxyContin was a more potent upload analgesic that reached the U.S. market in 1996. Those who wanted to avoid the gradual release formulation of the active ingredient in OxyContin, simply had to crush the pill and inhaled, or dissolving and injecting the solution. Or it could just be chewed and the entire dose of oxycodone would be in the bloodstream within minutes. Consumers said that the drug provides a buzz similar to heroin.

According to the website Global BC Onyxes pill is harder and stronger so it is not “so easy to crush.” When placed in water, the tablet becomes a thick gel to avoid that can be injected.

The Globe and Mail reports that since OxyContin was introduced in Canada in 2000, the number of prescriptions has risen to 80 times its original level, reaching 1.6 million a year. Most of the 200,000 drug addicts in medical prescription OxyContin preferred country for their addictions.

But after less than a week to start the distribution Onyxes has claimed its first victim. Coroner for Northwestern Ontario announced the death on March 5, 2012, noting the need for vigilance when a patient switches to another analgesic. Although death may have been caused by an incorrect transfer from one drug to another is not a good omen for the new drug.

If the U.S. continues its predecessor and replaced with Onyxes OxyContin, this can drag other problems in its wake. In April 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States announced a tamper-resistant formulation of OxyContin for the U.S. market. But as the New York Times in an article in June 2011, this change only led many opiate addicts abusing other prescription pain medicine or switching to heroin. And it was still possible to undo the pill inhaled.

The fact is that these are all addictive opiates. The change of OxyContin to Onyxes comes at a time when Toronto is debating the merits of the opening of “clean rooms” where heroin addicts can inject heroin under medical supervision. The intent of this “harm reduction” is to reduce overdose deaths and possibly put some of the addicts in treatment. As reported in the Toronto Sun, has provided this service in Vancouver for several years, a firm called Incite. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Incite can continue to work in Vancouver. The decision opens the door to possible similar services in Toronto.

While this debate continues, more than a hundred people have died every year from overdoses of oxycodone: In 2009, 37 in British Columbia (British Columbia) and 143 in Ontario. Other provinces had less.

If a person cannot get out of addiction to OxyContin or heroin through drug rehab, even if methadone-assisted treatment fails, then it is considered a candidate for harm reduction programs such as clean rooms or programs offered by pharmaceutical heroin to addicts. It is thought that these programs are an improvement over the constant risk to life who is heroin addicts who use heroin adulterated power varies.

Is not it possible that if addicted to OxyContin or heroin felt that he could choose, I choose to be drug free fully, in a stable? This is the alternative provided by Marconi Trois-Rivieres in Quebec.

In a program of long-term, comprehensive, it does not administer any drugs as part of their treatment; Marconi Trois-Rivieres has helped most of the graduates of its program to achieve a life without drugs.

Trying to keep up with the changing landscape of manufacturing and illicit drug use is a daunting task to a professional drug education, and more for a parent. But it’s something to try if we are to educate and keep safe for children and young people in dangerous and even deadly drugs.

One tactic used by unscrupulous drug manufacturers to make a new formula that changes the chemical composition of a prohibited substance enough to circumvent the law. Agencies to law enforcement take them a while to catch up and in the meantime, the lives of our children are threatened. Young people who go to the shops, at parties and raves may be offered the new drug.

Which brings us to the “bath salts”? These white crystals are sold in small bottles or foil packets in convenience stores and at raves or dance clubs around the country. They may be called something like pigeon red, purple, Cloud Nine, wave lunar pure ivory, ivory Wave, Vanilla Sky, Blessing or White Lightning. The packaging will indicate that “not for consumption” and is only for use in a “refreshing” bath. However, fuel, inhale, or get a buzz inyécteselo and hallucinogenic, dissociative, which can be dangerous, even deadly.

More than three thousand calls for help have come to the U.S. Centers Poison Control only in the first half of 2011. People have been hurting themselves or have been coming to emergency rooms in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and in all southern states in the Midwest and New England. Psychotic episodes are similar to those using PCP were decades ago.

In the worst cases, drugs in bath salts have resulted in high fevers can cause some organs to stop working and death, suicide, homicide, and a psychotic state that can only be managed with anesthesia general or with powerful anti-psychotic drugs.

Bobby Wiggins is a specialist in drug education Marconi. He advised: “Parents should sit down with their teenagers and young people and provide them the true history of this deadly drug. They could be saving the life of their own child or one of the child’s friends. “

The Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States just used his authority to establish nationwide temporary restraining chemicals in the drug, giving legislators time to catch up with federal law. However, it is likely that this action simply take the underground to the drug traffickers.

The psychoactive ingredient in bath salts can be ephedrine, 3.4 methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) or Methyl one. In the chemical composition and the effect these drugs mimic the action of chat; an herbal drug cultivated in East Africa and is often smuggled to Europe and North America. Bath salts, which can also be packaged and sold as plant food or as “research chemicals” on the Internet, is believed to be manufactured in China or India and then smuggled into the United States, the United Kingdom or Europe.

When it comes to bath salts, parents can report the following results have come from the emergency rooms of hospitals or police reports:

• Extremely high fevers that can lead to kidney failure and death.
• Psychotic episodes in which a person cannot even be reassured, but be given sedatives or shoot them with tasters (electric shock).
• Rabies murderer or hallucinations that cause a person jump in traffic injure someone or commit suicide.
• Mental confusion and disorientation that lasts for months.

The discovery of large shipments of drugs in submarines and speedboats in the Caribbean support the conclusion that the drug cartels in Central and South America are once again pointing their drug trafficking efforts toward Florida.

Recent events have prompted concern that Florida may again be targeted by drug trafficking groups Central or South America. Increased activity of drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea and in the Dominican Republic highlights the possibility that drug cartels are reclaiming their old way of traffic and bringing with them their usual violence.

In the years 1970 and 1980, Florida was a high profile target for manufacturers of cocaine from South America. Their trafficking activities were dramatized in the television series “Miami Vice”. Many tons of cocaine was taken to the Miami area, often using speedboats, motorboats designed exclusively for high amounts of travel.

As time passed, the police pressure forced the cartels to move their main channels Tijuana. When the turf wars in the area resulted in large losses of personnel and products, such channels have moved to El Paso and then to sterile stretches of Arizona.

Depending on the activities of law enforcement follow the signs everywhere; signs adjust their routes to maximize profits. With huge resources focused on drug interdiction along the border with Mexico can be a logical step to shake off the old routes of the Caribbean and Eastern resume operations.

Under the collaboration agreement signed with the Centers for Youth Integration, the state official said that is to exploit the more than 30 years of experience that has this civil association serving children and youth in the drug abuse problem.

“We would of course and it is our ethical and legal duty to care for people with addictions, but we want much more prevention. I was not happy to say that we spend 35 million pesos in a center (Peak) to try to cure people with addictions, preferring to say that we do not need, you do not need, “he said.

In that regard, he said he would prefer that as Peak centers are not needed, which can only be achieved on prevention policies that work, when you have not become effective tools for consumers and not create a market for drugs.

“The agreement provides for many forms of cooperation, eventually creating new youth integration centers in the territory of Veracruz, the expansion of services they already have, the care of inpatients and outpatients, but of course most importantly, the advice” he said.

He stated that he intended to generate a lot of health professionals, psychological therapy, law, violence prevention and victim assistance to learn to handle the issue of drugs from the therapeutic perspective, but mostly from prevention.

And he said, the drug problem is so serious that it requires skilled personnel, trained and knowledgeable about the subject.

“We as human beings, as a society, as individuals we need to live as people who have a right to be happy … we are able to live without drugs, or we are doomed, when I see the problems out, patients of Peak I scared and say no, we are, but when I get home and see my children and say cramped clear that we, our children need not live in a country with violence and suffering because of those who consume and especially of those who sell drugs, “he concluded.

This center is aimed at women over 20 who present a problematic use of alcohol and drugs, providing psychosocial support and facilitating the reintegration in an atmosphere of contention and professional control.

The professional staff of the Centre’s Ruska has been sensitized by the OTD team, facilitating the entry of a transgender woman, NT, 30, who until a few days, commercial sex and used drugs constantly, remaining in this cycle of destruction.

The workshop aimed to demolish myths surrounding transsexuality, and to answer questions and clarify concepts such as differences between Trans identities more recognized in our country (transsexual, transvestite and transgender), the difference between sexual orientation and identity gender also spoke about the discrimination faced by Tran’s people in Chile. All this in preparation and awareness to the group of women who will become partners of NT during their stay in the center, will be respected because of their gender identity, so enter the center for women, where there is even mothers with their sons and daughters.

Being a trans woman acts as limiting our integration into working life, so we got to the streets to engage in sex work, being our only tool for survival, being exposed to the brutality of the street, suffering the effects of vulnerability to HIV / AIDS, STD’s, alcoholism and drogradicción, as well as violence and discrimination on our identities.

We stress the importance of having an ally like the Center for Rehabilitation The Ruska, with the excellent conditions that have given OTD and NT who has a unique opportunity to get out of this scourge, such as drug and alcohol free environment of consumption, total discrimination and respect for their gender identity.

For trans women interested in starting a treatment for dependence on alcohol and drugs, the Centre “The Ruska” is directed by Melina Barrel is located at 445 Avenue I Ultra County, Commune of El Oliver, and the phone is 72 – 223,309. Treatment is free and includes food, accommodation and hospitality professional psychiatrist, psychologist and social workers, the only requirement being that the person wants and commit to their rehabilitation.

Magelinckx Jerome, representing the area of legal and public safety policies of the Center for Drug Research and Human Rights, lamented the inaction of the Ministry of Health to try to prevent the abuse they are inmates undergoing rehabilitation centers.

“We cannot forget that monitoring rehabilitation centers for the Ministry of Health, which has done little to prevent accidents or abuse in these places,” he said.

News in Extension, the Belgian said it is necessary to change the focus and start working at the community level through a network of organizations, from the bottom.

“It’s a job we’re trying to promote through Peruvian organizations involved in situations of social distress. This proposal is based on the model ECO2, which has borne fruit in different countries of the region. This is the first to be implemented in Peru and is a model that works even at the political level, “he said in RPP Notices.

The tragedy occurred in the course of drug rehab center ‘Christ is Love’, suggests that changes are required in the supervision, regulation and reporting of drug treatment centers in Peru. According to the media, the center had no license or permission. He was religious, but the center was very poor conditions, and clients reported that they were abused. Occur tragedy because two customers tried to escape, starting a fire as a distraction.

According to statements by the Minister of Health, not the fault of the government: they could not monitor the site, as it was not in the list of recognized institutions for the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. However, Dr. Tenaha also made the initial burden of inspection to the district and the district will return the blame to the MOH. The worst is that segos newspaper El Comerica, in 2010, it was noted that 57% of the 222 rehabilitation centers in Lima operating without a license. This same article of trade creates confusion by quoting an expert who says Cedar are 32 licensed centers in Lima (400 in Peru), and you have to communicate with the Mohr to obtain information about them.

Here’s the problem: how can one tell if a drug treatment center is legitimate? Clarify that drug treatment is not simply lock up a person somewhere for a month or a year, away from drugs. But the jail would all heal. Supposedly some entity within the Mohr regulates and has the information, but citizens are not aware.

The latest World Drug Report published by the United Nations provides good news. Opium production in Afghanistan has been subjected to a plague that has wiped out a quarter of production in that country. And the production of coca leaf for cocaine has dropped by 28 percent in the last decade.

But do not worry. If these drugs are scarce in some of its main markets – the United States, Europe and South Asia – there is a growing supply of prescription drugs that can take over.

Just to take a look at what you can to take the place of heroin, which could be limited, methadone, and suboxone is, both used to treat opiate addiction. Ironically, they themselves are drugs that are abused and are addictive. There is also a long list of medications taken by prescription, including both synthetic (uploads) and upload prescription. The list includes OxyContin, Violin, Lora, Dragon, Avocet, Demerol, morphine and codeine. There is even cough syrup containing dextromethorphan, such as Robitussin which could meet the requirements.

Then there are a number of stimulant drugs, starting with amphetamines and moving forward through Ritalin, Adder all, Concerti and other drugs. Maybe they can take the place of cocaine to anyone who is having trouble finding a supplier of the product.

Add to this list all anxiolytics or antidepressants on the market in which abused and become addictive. The list in this category should be added Valium, Xansa, Prozac, Zoloft and many others. No matter where you are, you will not need a drug dealer to get high, to forget their problems or even to become addicted. You only need a pharmacy on the corner.
