Methadone -ANSWERS-the only long-acting full opioid agonist
approved for treatment, at this time. It provides a range of effects
similar to those of short-acting opitates like Heroin and Morphine,
surpressing withdrawal symptoms and avoiding cravings as the opioid is
eliminated from the body. Dose needed for cross-tolerance depends on
client's level of tolerance for the drug(s).
Narcotics or Opiates/Opioids -ANSWERS-Drugs that cause sedation and
euphoria by causing depression of the central nervous system.
Narcotics or Opiates/Opioids -ANSWERS-Used medically to relieve pain,
suppress cough and control diarrhea, as well as some anxiety relief.
Narcotics or Opiates/Opioids -ANSWERS-Overdose can cause death by
respiratory depression
Semi-synthetic Opiates -ANSWERS-Hydromorphone (Dilaudid),
Oxycodone, Heroin
,Synthetic Narcotics -ANSWERS-Demerol, Methadone, Buprenorphine,
Propoxyphene (Darvone) Pentazocine (Talwin), OxyContin
Opiate Agonist -ANSWERS-These drugs can be substituted for the drug
of abuse to provide a more controllable form of addiction. Using them
alleviates many withdrawal symptoms. It acts similarly to opiates, and
bonds with an opiate receptor to trick the brain and take the place of
an opiate. Substitution Therapy. Ex. Methadone, Clonidine.
Opiate Antagonist -ANSWERS-A drug which occupies the same space in
the receptor, but does not produce the same effects. This type of drug
blocks the opiate receptor so that it blocks the effects of opiates. Non-
addictive. Example. Naltrexone (Revia, Vivitrol), Naloxone, and
Buprenorphine is a partial agonist can act as both agonist and
antagonist
Inhalant -ANSWERS-Solvents, aerosols, gases, and nitrates which can
act as Central Nervous System depressants. Can create similar effect to
alcohol intoxication. Can cause physical and psychological dependence.
Risk of immediate death. OTC so tend to be abused by adolescent
population.
Marijuana -ANSWERS-Most frequently used illicit drug in the United
States. THC potency has increased dramatically since the early 1960s.
Depressant stimulant, analgesic, and sometimes hallucinogenic effect.
4-10 times the tar and carcinogens than found in cigarettes. Can cause
, physical and psychological dependency. The buds of the female plant
contain the highest concentration of THC.
Crack Cocaine (Cocaine with baking soda and water) -ANSWERS-
Freebased, more potent than powder form of drug. One of most highly
addictive drugs known. Absorbed within seven seconds of being
smoked. Harms developing fetus.
Long-term adverse effects of crack cocaine -ANSWERS-weight loss,
dehydration, constipation, tooth decay, urinary tract issues, chronic
sore throat, lung congestion, hacking cough, lung damage and black
discharge.
Detoxification (Detox) -ANSWERS-The purpose of this process is to help
the client stabilize physically and psychologically until the body
becomes free of drugs or the effects of alcohol.
Signs of depressant withdrawal -ANSWERS-tremor, hyperreflexia,
agitation, HTN, tachycardia, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, excessive
perspiration, cognitive impairment (memory loss, difficulty
concentrating), seizures, weakness, anorexia, irritability, anxiety,
restlessness, headache, muscle ache, depression, tinnitus, paranoid
delusions, hypersensitivity to light and sound.
