Alcohol "is classified as a depressant, meaning it slows down vital functions"(Personal pg.5).
     Tobacco comes in different forms such as cigars, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco. "Tobacco is a nervous system stimulant that triggers complex biochemical and neurotransmitter disruptions"(Personal pg.6). This kind of stimulant can be severely addictive.
     Another substance that can cause issues are opioids. Opioids are medications that relieve pain. This can be a dangerous substance because people use it when they really are in pain then they become addicted.]]> 2019-04-14 15:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_mccabe03/ktg4a82xd2d/wish/351475244 megan_mccabe03 https://padlet.com/megan_mccabe03/ktg4a82xd2d/wish/351475264   The first step in the treatment process is withdrawal. Then you go into treatment where "medications can be used to help reestablish normal brain function and to prevent relapse and diminish cravings"(Personal pg.8).
There is also a treatment called behavioral treatments. "Behavioral treatments help patients engage in the treatment process, modify their attitudes and behaviors related to drug abuse, and increase healthy life skills'(Personal pg.8). This would help them to get back into a normal routine.]]> 2019-04-14 15:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_mccabe03/ktg4a82xd2d/wish/351475264 megan_mccabe03 https://padlet.com/megan_mccabe03/ktg4a82xd2d/wish/351475303   I have read about a person who used pain medications and eventually overused them and became addicted. To try to get them off of the medication, they gave less and less every day. This allowed them to adjust to having less. eventually, they were not on medication anymore ]]> 2019-04-14 15:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_mccabe03/ktg4a82xd2d/wish/351475303
