To put more detail, for it to be like a place for people to come forward and try any get help. With therapist and other types of mental health doctors, they could either do it for a small charge, or with none at all until they get back on their feet]]> 2019-01-25 16:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324379847 Psychology Today nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324380284 Direct Quotes:There are plenty of myths and misconceptions about addiction, but in reality, the processes that give rise to addictive behavior resist a simplistic explanation. There is not just one cause: Although genetic or other biological factors contribute to a person’s vulnerability to the condition, many social, psychological, and environmental factors have a powerful influence on substance use. Some characteristics, such as a lack of ability to tolerate distress or other strong feelings, have been associated with addiction, but there is no one “addictive personality” type that clearly predicts whether a person will face problems with addiction.

Marijuana should be legal in all 50 states, there are no bad side affects to the substance.
I can see that people may have a lot of stress on their shoulders, but that doesn't give them an excuse to "drink the pain away". I think they just abuse the substance because its there, and "It makes them feel better"]]> 2019-01-25 16:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324381136 WebMD: Substance Abuse nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324381539 Direct Quotes: Substance abuse is when you take drugs that are not legal, or you abuse the power of the allowed substance.
Substance abuse differs from addiction.
Both legal and illegal drugs have chemicals that can change how your body and mind work. ]]> 2019-01-25 16:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324381539 Understanding Drug Use nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324381811 My Thoughts:I feel as if, yes, some of these solutions may work for some people, but I do not see them working for everyone.
Every human being is different when it comes to substance abuse, or drug use. Some people can tolerate more, so they take more. 
The people whom are abusing these substances, are lost in a way, shape or form, and they need to try and find themselves. Or at the least, common grounds. maybe they don't stop using these substances, but they monitor how much that they use of them.]]> 2019-01-25 16:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324381811 Understanding Drug Use nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324382179 Direct Quotes: As with other chronic health conditions, treatment should be ongoing and should be adjusted based on how the patient responds.
As with most other chronic diseases, such as diabetes, asthma, or heart disease, treatment for drug addiction generally isn’t a cure. 
More good news is that drug use and addiction are preventable. ]]> 2019-01-25 16:14:08 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/324382179 Marijuana nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327319615 My Thoughts: Honestly, I think most of this is bogus. Some of the things that they were saying about how bad it is, and what bad symptoms it causes, to me is just ludicrous.

In 2015, more than 11 million young adults ages 18 to 25 used marijuana in the past year]]> 2019-02-04 14:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327319615 Substance Abuse in America Today nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327322658 My Thoughts: Its crazy to see that in 2006, 20.4 million people were illicit drug users. Seeing things like this makes me think back on my uncles past.
I can definitely see why this is a problem, and things need to be done more about it. People can't keep dying because of substance abuses, and other drug related injuries or deaths.


Direct Quotes: In 2006, an estimated 22.6 million persons (9.2 percent of the population age 12 and over) were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the past year. Of these, 15.6 million abused or were dependent on alcohol, 3.8 million abused or were dependent on illicit drugs, and 3.2 million abused or were dependent on both alcohol and illicit drugs.]]> 2019-02-04 14:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327322658 nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327326804 2019-02-04 14:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327326804 Understanding tolerance, dependence, and addiction nevinshj2365 https://padlet.com/nevinshj2365/d264xtbkubvm/wish/327327579 My Thoughts: The most important distinction between these concepts is that tolerance and dependence refer to the physical consequences of drug use. In contrast, addiction is a descriptive term that refers to a need to engage in harmful behavior such as drug use.


Direct Quotes: It is important to understand the meaning of the terms tolerance, dependence, and addiction when discussing substance abuse and the use of prescription medications such as opioid painkillers. 
Drugs that result in the development of tolerance and physical dependence often have the potential to cause addiction, but not always.
