Essays on Addiction

Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

Addiction can have devastating consequences on families.

People will do anything for money, including committing crimes, and those crimes can end up leading them to jail or other criminal punishment.

Hence, from this definition, the “buy and bust” or “sell and bust” undercover operations may be considered as entrapment since they entail the inducement of a person to commit an offense, such as dealing in or purchasing of illegal drugs. Furthermore, as Hay (2005) observes, sting or undercover operations by ...

There’s a loud, ringing sound. It’s jarring, waking me from the otherwise cozy warmth that is my bed. I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend. Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

It is the belief of most people that when stronger law enforcements are applied, it will help in getting the drugs off the market, thereby making the streets to become safe. However, the evidence that exists with the Drug Abuse Council challenges this belief. The council confirmed that an increase in the price of one bag of street heroin in any given month from $7 to $9, there would be an increase in the number of revenue-raising crimes from 11,000 per month to 12,000 per month due to heroin trade alone (Friedman 1).

Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs is a nettlesome problem, as its incidence has risen since the beginning of the century. Long-term regular alcohol abuse sooner or later leads to alcohol dependence, mental shock, nervous system and internal organs diseases. Despite the commonly held belief, active-duty personnel in the military are not quite as tough as to be completely immune to the substance abuse problems that blight civilian populations. However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

The elderly populations at Senior care centers are of major concern to me. There are about 50 care centers within the Covington area. They form my target population of choice due to the fact that most of them are frail and sickly and abandoned in the centers by their families. A majority of the elderly suffer from different kinds of diseases like dementia, Alzheimer's, diabetes and other diseases which coupled with their frailty require special care. Most of the elderly in the senior care centers have been abandoned by their families who cannot or do not want to care ...

Throughout history the legality of drugs has often changed. Marijuana likely began in the 1600’s as many people were growing hemp to make ropes. During the Civil War opiates were used to anesthetize patients so that the doctors had time to perform surgeries. In the 1870’s the original recipe for Coca Cola contained cocaine and drugs like heroin and morphine were used to combat alcohol addiction (Reed n.d). In America, today the laws regarding drugs differ from state to state. In some states, even the smallest amount of illegal drugs will cause a person to be arrested ...

I would comment that the video should be a source of learning and awareness to everyone who is aspiring to get into healthcare and is or is becoming a pharmacist. It will help them to assess any such person who might be a drug diverter, and they can capture them in the act and report them to the concerned authorities. It will be a step forward in preventing people from ruining their lives at the hands of drug addiction. One critical moment I have observed is when a woman once came to the pharmacy and asked for a couple ...

The comment I would leave on the video would be one regarding the action needed to be taken against the pharmacies which do not pay attention to the prescriptions and clinics which write these prescriptions for the people in the first place. This is importance because the video reveals how the pharmacists caught the people as their actions and prescriptions were suspicious, however, there is no concern revealed regarding taking any action against the mentioned clinics which have a doubtful operation running in the country. I had observed a critical moment when I happened to be in a pharmacy ...

The homeless population is a vulnerable group often forgotten by the healthcare community for many reasons. In many cases, they simply do not have access to healthcare, while in others they do not seek it out. The lack of resources within the homeless community has led to a buildup of health issues that affect the homeless. While Hwang and Burns (2016) touch on many different issues impact the homeless population in their article, one of the primary problems facing this group is mental illness and the lack of resources to help them. In some cases, it is believes mental ...

Apparently, over the counter medications are those that can be sold to the client without necessarily having any prescription by the provider. The Food and Drug Administration has been at the forefront in monitoring the adherence to issues of over the counter medications so that pharmacists do not sell other medications not classified as OTC. Similarly, the FDA has over time made changes and reviews on the regulations and rules that guide OTC medication sales (West, Wilk, Rae, Muszynski, Stipec, Alter & Regier, 2015). One of the emerging issues that have affected the pharmacists is the introduction of a ...

The immune and nervous systems are two body structures that have different functions. Moreover, most people may not be able to readily identify the and the relationship between these two. While the immune system is responsible in protecting the body from destructive and invading pathogens, the nervous system is tasked to relay information to the brain. This process allows for the proper coordination of the different functions of the body. In general, the concept of the connection between the nervous and the immune systems stems from the theoretical idea of stress. Stress is denoted both as a physiological and ...

Mood disorder and substance abuse have a close relationship. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (2008), over 30 percent of those with mood disorder in the United States also have substance abuse disorder. As a therapist, it is never easy to identify and distinguish between those abusing substances as a self-medication towards mood disorder from those who suffer from the disorder as a result of drug abuse. According to the Nation Health Research, self-medication is common among most of the substance abusers (Harris et al. 2005). Theoretically, those who use substance abuse such as marijuana and alcohol ...

In spite of the status, fame and fortune addiction plays a very fair game and this is evident in the very common reports of famous celebrities who have publically struggled with drug and substance addictions, others even experiencing a public relapse ( ...

On August 30, 2016, Laura Dimon and Ginger Adams Otis wrote an article for The Daily News under the headline “Protesters gather in NYC to show outrage of skyrocketing EpiPen prices.” The article highlights a controversy that is ongoing as this is typed – the price of potentially life-saving EpiPens has increased fivefold in the decade since Mylan Pharmaceuticals acquired the product. One of the clear economic concepts that the EpiPen controversy demonstrates is elasticity of demand. As Guo (2012) points out discussing price elasticity of demand, the concept is simple. It is intuitive as well. When prices go up ...

Introduction

Anger is a normal emotion among the people, but sometimes it becomes a stern problem if not controlled properly.

Therefore, there is the need to come up with strategies that will help people in identifying the possible triggers and methods of calming down anger. Anger management activities should play a significant role in creating the connection between the mind and body. It implies ...

The term ‘addiction’ itself finds its root in a Latin word which can be loosely translated as ‘bound by’. This very definition could reveal very clearly how very ensnaring the addiction to anything could be. There was a time in the past when the majority held the opinion that it was only alcohol and other potent drugs which could result in a person becoming addicted. It was not until fairly recently that research revealed to us that even other very congenial activities could also end up being an addiction. Examples of the same include gambling, shopping, and even sex. ...

Guo (2012) gives the explanation for the concept of price elasticity of demand. It is simple and, when you think of it, obvious. With a very few exceptions, price increases will drive demand down. Interestingly enough, the controversy over EpiPens in the news today provides a good example of price elasticity of demand. The classic example is a drug addict or the slightly less addicted cigarette smoker. Price was essentially irrelevant to demand to these groups of consumers. The converse condition is also, then, true. Products that are commodities are essentially perfectly price elastic. Gas wars, for example, are ...

“Physicians who are familiar with alcoholism agree there is no such thing as making a normal drinker out of an alcoholic. Science may one day accomplish this, but it hasn’t done so yet.” (Source c. 1939 AAWS, Alcoholics Anonymous, more about Alcoholism, p. 31.) was actually the opinion of physicians before the advent of Alcoholics Anonymous.

While gender is seen as being something that disenfranchises women in a male dominant, unequal society and something that can destroy a man if ...

Although the alcohol is a legal drug while the consumption of cannabis is illegal in many countries, alcoholism has enormous effects on the health and the life of the consumer. Lewis et al.

According to Lewis et al. (2011) alcoholics are at a high danger of many health related complications some of which ...

Edgar Allan Poe, the celebrated American writer, critic and editor, holds a prominent place among the literary circle.

Robert Goren Law and Oder Criminal Intent and Carl Rogers Personality Theory

Carl Roger’s is a renowned psychologist that propagated the Personality Theory which explains the behaviors and characteristics of an individual. The argument shows that the formation of a person’ self-concept results from self-actualization behavior. He said that the self-actualizing characteristics determine a person’s personality. The self-actualization tendencies are as a consequence of the events and the environment in which a person grows up in, as well as the person’s genetic make-up. The environment provides the stimulus that prompts responses from the person. A repeat of the stimuli prompts the development of a self-concept. For any individual ...
