Amphetamine Addiction

Amphetamine biologically is a strong central nervous system (CNS) stimulant used medically in the treatment of depression, obesity, and nasal congestion, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Amphetamine dependency refers to a state of psychological dependency on a drug in the amphetamine class. Psycho-stimulants that increase the concentration of dopamine and mimic the pharmacological effect of substituted amphetamines, but with lower abuse liability, could theoretically be used as replacement therapy in amphetamine dependence.

Common psychological effects of therapeutic doses can include increased alertness, apprehension, concentration, decreased sense of fatigue, mood swings (elated mood followed by mildly depressed mood), increased initiative, insomnia or wakefulness, self-confidence, and sociability.

Cocaine Addiction

Cocaine is a naturally occurring chemical found in the leaf of coca plant and it is commonly known as benzoyl-methyl-ecgonine. Biologically cocaine is a strong stimulant, used as a local anesthetic by blocking the conduction of nerves impulses. It is generally snorted, inhaled, or injected directly into the veins of the addict person. Side effects may of cocaine include loss of contact with reality, nervousness, dizziness, an intense feeling of happiness, or agitation. Physical symptoms include a fast heart rate, sweating, and large pupils. Cocaine works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, norephinephrine, and dopamine in the brain. This results in greater concentrations of these three neurotransmitters in the brain. Cocaine is addictive due to its pharmacological effect on the brains reward Mechanism.

Cocaine-Related Disorders

The continuous and heavy use of cocaine & its chemically derivative result in nervousness, unusual feelings of well-being, hallucinations, and mood changes disorders. Overuses of cocaine cause elevated body temperature and a noticeable elevation of blood pressure that can be life-threatening result in arrhythmias and death. Anxiety, paranoia and restlessness can also occur, especially during the comedown. With excessive dosage, tremors, convulsions and increased body temperature are observed. Severe cardiac adverse events, particularly sudden cardiac death, become a serious risk at high doses due to cocaine's blocking effect on cardiac sodium channels. For a short period of use, there is a high risk that dependence will occur. Their use also increases the risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, lung problems in those who smoke it, blood infections, and sudden cardiac death.

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) is a group of complications that occur in a newborn baby who was pre-exposed or the administration of licit or illicit drugs & addictive opiate drugs during the time period of its development or growth in the mother's womb. Tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal may occur as a result of repeated administration of drugs or even after short-term high dose use—for example during mechanical ventilation in intensive care units. There are two types of NAS: prenatal and postnatal. Prenatal NAS is caused by termination of drugs taken by the pregnant mother, while postnatal NAS is caused by withdrawal of drugs directly to the infant.

Opioid-Related Disorders

Opioid are the type of medicine used to help in relieve in pain. They work by decreasing the pain signal (prostaglandin) to the brain. The addiction and opioid dependence both are come under the category of opioid related disorders, the medical conditions that characterize the habitual use of opioids (e.g., morphine, heroin, codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, etc.) in animosity of knowing the consequences of continued use and the withdrawal syndrome that occurs when we stop using opioids and its derivatives. The opioid dependence-withdrawal syndrome involves both psychological dependence and marked physical dependence upon opioid compounds.

Relapse prevention

Relapse prevention is a crucial aspect of addiction recovery, focused on equipping individuals with the tools and strategies needed to maintain sobriety and avoid returning to substance use. It involves identifying triggers-such as stress, emotional distress, or social situations-that may lead to cravings or urges to use. Developing healthy coping mechanisms, like mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and support systems, helps individuals manage these triggers effectively. Relapse prevention also emphasizes the importance of ongoing support, whether through aftercare programs, counseling, or peer support groups, to reinforce recovery efforts. By recognizing warning signs and making positive lifestyle changes, individuals can build resilience and sustain long-term sobriety, understanding that while lapses may occur, they do not have to lead to full relapse if addressed promptly and with the right strategies.
