drug addiction
Introduction
Introduction to drug addiction Drug addiction refers to the presence of drug addiction. Long-term use of drugs, drugs occupy receptors, inhibit endogenous morphine-like synthesis. Once discontinued, it is easy to present "endorphin" deficiency and withdrawal syndrome. Drugs are opium (opiates), heroin, marijuana and cocaine, which can make people addicted to narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs, excluding tobacco, alcohol, diazepam, sleeping pills and other stimulants, addictive substances in analgesics. At the usual doses, nausea, vomiting, constipation, sweating, ureter and bile duct fistula may occur. There may also be dry mouth, bradycardia, palpitations, dilated pupils, large doses of respiratory depression, hypotension, heart failure and Deep coma, coma during acute poisoning, inhibition of breathing depth, extremely dilated pupils, decreased blood pressure, purpura, decreased body temperature, wet skin, and severe death from respiratory paralysis. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: 0.001% Susceptible people: no specific people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: nausea and vomiting
Cause
Cause of drug addiction
Physical dependence (45%)
A strong dependence due to repeated medication. Drugs act on the human body, causing adaptive changes in the body's physical energy, forming a new equilibrium state under the action of drugs. Once the drug is stopped, the physiological function will be disordered, and a series of serious reactions, called withdrawal reactions, will cause people to feel very painful. In order to avoid the withdrawal reaction, the drug users must regularly take the drug and continue to increase the dose so that drug users can not be separated from drugs.
Mental dependence (35%)
When drugs enter the human body, they act on the human nervous system, causing drug users to have a strong desire to use drugs, driving drug users to seek and use drugs desperately. Once mental dependence occurs, even after detoxification treatment, it is often several months or even years to fully recover the original physiology after the acute withdrawal control is basically controlled. More seriously, dependence on drugs is difficult to eliminate. This is the reason why many drug users are taking drugs again and again, and it is still a problem to be solved in the world medical and pharmaceutical circles.
Prevention
Drug addiction prevention
(1) The source of drugs should be cut off from the root cause, drugs should be destroyed, drug traffickers should be resolutely cracked down, and drug use should be strictly prohibited in the process of drug rehabilitation.
(2) Mandatory drug rehabilitation for drug users must start with both drugs and psychology. On the one hand, the use of drug treatment to destroy its physiological dependence; on the one hand, the use of systemic desensitization, aversion therapy and other psychological corrections to undermine its psychological dependence, must be completely isolated from the society for at least three months to ensure the effectiveness of detoxification.
(3) After drug addiction, social activities that are beneficial to the body and mind, cultural and recreational activities should be carried out to completely change the attitudes and lifestyles of life; and appropriate use of sleep and emotional drugs to consolidate the treatment effect. Finally, a supervisory protection network should be established to prevent repeating the same mistakes.
Complication
Drug addiction complications Complications, nausea and vomiting
Physiologically, stopping drugs can cause physical discomfort, yawning, tears, runny nose, cold sweat, and then weakness, unable to get up, no appetite, can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. When the inhibition of the nervous system turns into excitement, the pupil expands, the heart beats faster, the blood pressure rises, the muscles tremble and convulsions, and in severe cases, paralysis, dehydration, imbalance of electrolyte balance, and extreme collapse.
Psychologically, drug addicts continue to continually and desperately get drugs. This desire is overwhelming. Once drug abuse is interrupted, the so-called "infernal pain" withdrawal symptoms can be generated, becoming extremely selfish, unscrupulously obtaining drugs, society, and family. There is no sense of responsibility, no regrets, no harm to individuals, families and society.

Examine
Drug addiction check
Drug testing cards (drug testing test strips, drug testing reagents) are applicable to the screening of suspicious people in public security departments and anti-drug institutions; recruitment, admission physical examination; treatment monitoring of drug rehabilitation agencies, census, screening and physical examination of medical and epidemic prevention departments.
Test sample: urine
The result shows:
1. Only a purple-red band appeared in the control area C, and no purple-red band appeared in the test area T. A positive result indicates that the concentration of morphine in the urine is above the threshold of 300 ng/ml.
2. Two purple-red bands appear. One is in the test area T and one is in the control area C is negative. A negative result indicates that the morphine concentration in the urine is below the threshold of 300 ng/ml.
3. The purple-red band does not appear in the control area C as an invalid result, indicating that the test failed or the test paper has failed.
