But who could resist a harmless gab about wild child Miley Cyrus' latest "cry for help"? Yes, that's actually what daytime newsies are calling it. We call it "an attempt to live a semi-normal experimental phase alongside fake friends who release videos of you taking bong hits to TMZ." Jerks.

But wait! It's not weed! TMZ sources say...... "the smoke filling the bong is a natural herb called salvia which has psychedelic qualities." Indeed, definitely not based on personal experience, the freakish look on her face would suggest a salvia trip over a one-hit marijuana high.

In mice, these painkillers inhibit the brain's ability to strengthen connections or synapses, which erode the prizes or pleasure, said the researchers from Brown University in the journal Nature.

Drugs

Many of the reasons why some people use illicit substances and kill this, one of them as a modern lifestyle. Can also because of the influence of friends, as an escape from a problem.   

Even more ironically, many people assume, taking drugs before sexual intercourse can increase the ability and strength. So often we hear of a party drug which is then followed by an orgy. Or there is a presumption that says prostitution is identical to the drug complex.

Drug Abuse

Drug abuse or misuse is seen in people of any age, sex, race, nationality, or socioeconomic class. Among older adults.

Abuse, Prevention, Addiction

The problem is often with inappropriate use of prescription or over-the-counter medications. Commonly misused drugs include sedatives, hypnotics, pain relievers, diet aids, decongestants, and a wide variety of over-the-counter medications. Many medications used by older adults can lead to tolerance (see below), withdrawal syndromes, or harmful medical consequences. Medical problems from misuse can include

Alcohol Misuse or Abuse

Drug Rehabilitation

Drinking, per se, is not physically or medically harmful, even among older adults. In fact, light to moderate alcohol consumption (eg, an average of one drink per day) among healthy older adults can have health benefits, especially with regard to heart health and longevity. Alcohol in moderate amounts may also promote relaxation and reduce social anxiety. However, alcohol abuse is associated with numerous negative health effects, especially among older adults. Alcohol abuse can cause serious illness, worsen other medical conditions, interfere with needed medications, and greatly decrease overall quality of life.

The terms "light," "moderate," and "heavy" drinking can mean different things to different people. In medical terms, one drink per day is defined as one 12-oz beer, one 4-oz glass of wine, or one 1-oz shot of liquor. A bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer should not be considered as "one" drink.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

The abuse and misuse of alcohol or drugs was once considered a problem only among the young. Unfortunately, substance abuse has become a growing problem among older adults as well. Community surveys suggest that misuse of alcohol or other drugs is a common cause of physical and mental health problems in older Americans, especially older men. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to the mental and physical effects of these substances, because of the changes that happen in our minds and bodies as we age. In fact, negative health consequences are sometimes seen in older adults at a level of alcohol or drug use that would be considered light to moderate in younger people.

Substance abuse has clear and profound effects on the health and well-being of older adults in all aspects of life. Many different organ systems can be damaged by substance abuse. The social and economic impact is also tremendous. Substance abuse has negative effects on self-esteem, coping skills, and interpersonal relationships, which can add to other losses that are common in the later stages of life.

Drug Reactions

Drugs

Most of the time, medicines make our lives better. They reduce aches and pains, fight infections, and control problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. But medicines can also cause unwanted reactions.
One problem is interactions, which may occur between

• Two drugs, such as aspirin and blood thinners
• Drugs and food, such as statins and grapefruit
• Drugs and supplements, such as gingko and blood thinners
• Drugs and diseases, such as aspirin and peptic ulcers

Interactions can change the actions of one or both drugs. The drugs might not work, or you could get side effects.

Occurring Disorders a Common Phenomenon With Few Treatment Options

CHICAGO, Dec. 1, 2010 According to the American Psychiatric Association, at least three percent of the United States population has a co-occurring disorder, yet only eight percent of those suffering receive specialized treatment for both their mental illness and substance abuse disorders. Kimberly Dennis, MD, a psychiatrist specializing in eating disorder and addiction treatment and Medical Director at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, recommends that those suffering from a co-occurring disorder receive specialized care for all of their disorders with a unified treatment approach. For people with dual diagnosis, this can be the first and most important step to a successful and life-long recovery.
