ओपियाड सॅब्स्टिट्यूशॅन थैरेपी - OST


ओपियाड सॅब्स्टिट्यूशॅन थैरेपी - OST एक प्रकिया है जिसमे ओपियाड निर्भर इंजैक्शन ड्रग्स यूजर को ज्यादा समय तक प्रभावी ओपियाड एगोनिस्ट दवाई मैडिकल देखरेख मे लंबे समय तक प्रदान की जाती है जिसमे सायको -सोशल हस्तक्षेप भी जुड़ा होता है। ओपियाड सॅब्स्टिट्यूशॅन थैरेपी एक लंबे समय तक चलने वाला इलाज है। इंजैक्शन ड्रग्स यूजर का जीवन अवैध ओपियाड प्रयोग के आस -पास ही घूमता है। उसका पूरा दिन ड्रग्स को प्राप्त करने ,उसे उपयोग करने या उसके प्रभाव से निकलने में ही बीत जाता है। ओपियाड प्रयोग से जुड़े विड्रॉल व क्रेविंग उसे बार बार ओपियाड प्रयोग के लिये विवश करते है। क्योकि ओपियाड ड्रग्स का प्रभाव कम समय के लिये होता है इसलिये इंजैक्शन ड्रग्स यूजर दिन में कई बार इंजैक्शन को लगाता है। इसके परिणाम स्वरूप वे जीवन के अन्य पहलू जैसे काम-काज,परिवार व समाज की ओर ध्यान नहीं दे पाते। वे अपने ओपियाड ड्रग्स के लिये रुपयों की पूर्ति करने के लिये अवैध कार्यो से जुड़ने के लिये विवश हो जाते है। 
  ओपियाड सॅब्स्टिट्यूशॅन थैरेपी - OST इन सब  पहलूओ पर  कार्य करती है।
 1. OST  में प्रयोग की जाने वाली ओपियाड दवाईया ड्रग्स से जुड़े विड्रॉल व क्रेविंग को ख़त्म करती है जिससे ड्रग्स यूजर को विड्रॉल व क्रेविंग दूर करने के लिये ओपियाड ड्रग्स का इंजैक्शन लेने की जरूरत नहीं पड़ती। 
2. अवैध ओपियाड की तुलना मे जो तुरंत व कम समय के लिये असर करते है OST
 में प्रयोग की जाने वाली  ओपियाड दवाईया धीरे धीरे  व लंबे समय तक असर करती है जिससे इंजैक्शन ड्रग्स यूजर को अपना समय बार बार अवैध ओपियाड को ढूंढ़ने व लगाने में बरबाद करने की जरूरत नहीं रहती तथा वह अपना समय काम -काज व परिवार को दे सकता है। 
3. अवैध ओपियाड इंजैक्शन द्वारा प्रयोग की जाती है जिसके कई नुकसान होते है इसके विपरीत OST में प्रयोग की जाने वाली ओपियाड दवाई मुँह के द्वारा दी जाती है जो एक सुरक्षित तरीका है।

मुख्यता दुरूपयोग की जाने वाली मैडिकल ड्रग्स कौन कौन सी है ?

मुख्यता दुरूपयोग की जाने वाली मैडिकल ड्रग्स कौन कौन सी है ?
वैसे तो विभिन्न ड्रग्स दुरूपयोग की जाती है लेकिन मुख्य दवाओं को निम्न भागो में बांटा गया है। 
1 . ओपियाड :- जो मुख्यतया दर्द के ईलाज  के लिये मैडिकल ईलाज  में  प्रयोग लायी जाती है। 
2 . सी .एन  .डिप्रेसेंट :- सैन्ट्रल नर्वस सिस्टम डिप्रेसेंट जो मुख्यतया नींद ,चिंता  व उदासी के लिये मैडिकल ईलाज  में  प्रयोग लायी जाती है।
3 . सिटम्यूलेन्टस:-यह स्लिप डिसऑर्डर ,नार्कोलेप्सी व अटेंशन डिफिसिट हाइपर एक्टिविटी डिसऑर्डर के मैडिकल ईलाज  में  प्रयोग लायी जाती है। 

मैडिकल ड्रग्स दुरपयोग क्या है ?


मैडिकल दवाओ को डॉक्टर की सलाह बिना नशे के लिये लेना मैडिकल ड्रग्स दुरपयोग कहलाता है। ऐसे व्यक्तिओ की संख्या बढ़ती ही जा रही है जो मैडिकल दवाओं को किसी बीमारी के इलाज के लिए ना ले कर उनका नशे के लिये दुरूपयोग कर रहे है। वे इन दवाओं के एडिक्शन से ग्रस्त होकर विभिन्न समस्याओ का सामना कर रहे है। 

June 13, 2019

ड्रग्स एडिक्शन -ईलाज क्या है ?

                                  

ड्रग्स एडिक्शन का ईलाज एडिक्टस  की  ड्रग्स को लेने के लिए बैचेनी - ड्रग्स को ढूंढ़ने और प्रयोग करने से रोकने के लिये एक साहयता है। 

ईलाज की विभिन्न सैटिंग हो सकती है ,विभिन्न तरीके हो सकते है  व विभिन्न समय अवधि हो सकती है।

एक छोटी अवधि का एक बार में लिया गया  ईलाज काफी नहीं होता है। अधिकतर ईलाज एक लंबी चलने वाली प्रकिर्या है जिसमे अनेक भाग होते है और लगातार देखभाल आवश्यक है। 

ईलाज विभिन्न प्रकार का हो सकता है जिसमे बिहैवियर थेरैपी - कॉउंसलिंग -मैडीकशन अथवा इन सब का सयुंक्त रूप से प्रयोग हो सकता है। 

विशेष प्रकार का ईलाज अथवा विभिन्न ईलाजो का सयुंक्त ईलाज एडिक्ट की आवश्यकता व उसके द्वारा प्रयोग की जाने वाली ड्रग्स पर निर्भर करता है। 

सर्वोत्तम ईलाज विभिन्न थेरैपी का सयुंक्त  प्रयोग व अन्य सर्विस का जोड़ होता है जो एडिक्ट की आवश्यकताओ को पूरा कर सके। 

एडिक्ट की आवश्यकताओ मे उसकी उम्र -कल्चर -जैंडर -दूसरी ड्रग्स का भी उपयोग -तनाव -जॉब व फिजिकल इतिहास सम्मिलित होता है। 

ईलाज संबधी दवाईया जैसे मैथाडोंन -बिनोर्फिन व नालट्रेक्सोन अफीम के एडिक्ट के  ईलाज के लिये उपलब्ध है। 

साईकोएक्टिव दवाईया जैसे एंटी डिप्रेसेन्ट - एंटी एनाक्सटी - मूड स्टेबलाईजर व एंटी साईकोटिक भी ईलाज  के सफलतापूर्वक पूरा होने मे मददगार है जब एडिक्ट मेंटल -डिसऑर्डर से गुजर रहा हो। जैसे तनाव -चिड़चिड़ापन या सिजोफ्रेनिया। 

Lesson Plan and Activity Finder बिहैवियर थेरैपी एडिक्ट को ईलाज मे भाग लेने के लिये प्रोत्साहित  करती है। ड्रग्स से दूर रहने के व रिलैप्स होने से बचने के तरीके बताती है व यदि एडिक्ट रिलैप्स हो जाता है तो उसे उस स्थिति को संभालना सिखाया जाता है।

बिहैवियर थेरैपी व  दवाईयो का  सयुंक्त प्रयोग अधिक असरकारक होता है क्योकि यह एडिक्शन के विभिन्न पहलू पर कार्य करता है। 

June 10, 2019

असरकारक ईलाज के सिद्धांत।


  1. एडिक्शन एक गंभीर बीमारी है जो दिमाग के फंक्शन और व्यवहार पर प्रभाव  डालती है लेकिन ईलाज योग्य है। 
  2. एक ही ईलाज सबके लिये उचित नही हो सकता। 
  3. ईलाज हमेशा उपलब्ध होना चाहिए। 
  4. सही ईलाज ऐडिक्ट की विभिन्न आवश्यकता पर भी केन्द्रित होना चाहिये ना की केवल ड्रग्स पर। 
  5. एक निश्चित समय तक ईलाज मे रहना आवश्यक है। 
  6. काउंसलिंग -अकेले या सामूहिक थेरैपी व अन्य बिहेवियरल थेरैपी सबसे ज्यादा उपयोग की जाने वाली विधि है। 
  7. दवाईया ईलाज का एक महत्वपूर्ण तत्व है विशेषतया जब काउंसलिंग व बिहेवियरल थेरैपी के साथ सयुंक्त किया जाये। 
  8. एक एडिक्ट के ईलाज व सर्विस योजना का लगातार मुल्यांकन करना चाहिये व परिवर्तन करना चाहिये ताकि वह उसकी बदलती आवश्यकताओ को पूरा कर सके। 
  9. बहुत से ड्रग्स एडिक्ट अन्य मानसिक डिसऑर्डर से पीड़ित होते है। 
  10. मैडिकल डीटॉक्सीफिकेशन केवल ईलाज का पहला हिस्सा है। 
  11. ईलाज के समय मरीज के ड्रग्स लेने के संबध मे ध्यान रखना चाहिये क्योकि ईलाज के दौरान रिलैप्स के अवसर बने रहते है।

ड्रग्स एडिक्शन क्या है ?


ड्रग्स एडिक्शन एक दीर्घस्थाई - दुबारा लौटकर आने वाली मस्तिष्क की बीमारी है जो बुरे परिणाम के बाद भी ड्रग्स को प्रयोग करने के लिये दबाव डालती है। 

एडिक्शन एक मस्तिष्क की बीमारी मानी जाती है क्योकि यह मस्तिष्क की सरचना मे बदलाव ला देती है व उसके कार्य करने के तरीके मे बदलाव ला देती है। 
मस्तिष्क के ये बदलाव लम्बे समय तक बने रहते है तथा नुकसानदायक वयवहारो के कारण बन जाते है जो ड्रग्स दुरउपयोग करने वाले व्यक्ति मे देखे जा सकते है। 

यह जानते हुए भी की नशीली ड्रग्स उसे नुकसान दे रही है उसके बावजूद भी अपने आपको नशीली ड्रग्स के उपयोग से ना रोक पाना ड्रग्स एडिक्शन कहलाता है।

PRINCIPLES OF DRUG DEPENDENCE TREATMENT. part 3


PRINCIPLE 3: EVIDENCE-INFORMED DRUG DEPENDENCE TREATMENT.

Description and Justification -


Evidence-based good practice and accumulated scientific knowledge on the nature of drug dependence should guide interventions and investments in drug dependence treatment. The high quality of standards required for approval of pharmacological or psychosocial interventions in all the other medical disciplines should be applied to the field of drug dependence.

Components -

  •  There is a range of evidence-based pharmacological and psychosocial interventions relevant to different stages in the addiction career and treatment process. No single treatment is appropriate for all patients and differentiated and targeted treatment interventions to respond best to the specific needs of each clinical condition. For example, moderate cases may be handled in primary care settings (e.g. general practitioners with relevant training), while more severely affected patients, especially those with co-morbidities, may require multidisciplinary interventions, including psychiatric evaluation and care.

  • Sufficient duration. In treating complex chronic diseases and preventing relapse, long-lasting treatment programmes have been found the most effective strategy and may be necessary for the more severe forms of drug dependence. It is therefore key for treatment services to develop approaches to facilitate long term patient retention in treatment.

  •  The integration of psychosocial and pharmacological treatment methods can improve the outcome and should be proposed to the patients as part of a comprehensive approach. A holistic treatment orientation, treating the whole person, rather than the addiction only, has been shown to have better results in terms of relapse prevention.

  •  Multidisciplinary teams including medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counsellors, and nurses can respond best to the needs of patients, also due to the multi-factorial nature of drug dependence. Treatment and care for physical conditions (liver disease, infections, pain, etc) and concomitant psychiatric disorders utilizing both medications and psychosocial interventions may significantly improve the treatment outcomes.

  •  Brief interventions. Individuals with experimental and occasional substance use can benefit from screening and brief interventions, which are an effective and economical prevention option, also at the early stages of substance use disorders.

  •  Outreach and low-threshold interventions can reach patients not motivated to engage in structured forms of treatment. These interventions offer a comprehensive package of measures to prevent the health and social consequences of drug dependence and have demonstrated effectiveness in preventing the transmission of HIV/AIDS and other blood-borne infections.

  •  Basic services offering the essential support to stop or reduce drug use need to be distributed and widely available thorough the territory, including detoxification, psychosocially assisted opioid agonist pharmacotherapy of opioid dependence, counselling, rehabilitation strategies and social support.

  •  Medically supervised withdrawal is required for patients who are heavy dependent users of certain substances (such as opioids, sedative/hypnotic substances, and alcohol) and are likely to experience withdrawal complications. Detoxification is a preparatory step to start long lasting drug-free oriented programs.

Maintenance medications with proven efficacy and effectiveness in preventing relapse and stabilizing drug dependent patients are available only for opioid dependence. These medications belong to two main groups: long-acting opioid agonists and antagonists. Opioid agonist pharmacotherapy is one of the most effective treatment options for opioid dependence when methadone or buprenorphine are administered at a individualized dosage for a period of several months to years. Alternatively, a defined group of opioid dependent patients who are detoxified and highly motivated can be prescribed an antagonist medication (naltrexone) as part of continuing relapse prevention treatment.


  •  Psychological and social interventions have demonstrated to be effective in rehabilitation and relapse prevention, both in out-patient and residential settings. Psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing and contingency management, have shown promising results. Social support interventions like employment programmes, vocational training and legal advice and support have been demonstrated to be effective in facilitating social inclusion.

  •  Self-help support groups complement formal treatment options and can support standardized psychosocial interventions.

  •  Socio-cultural relevance. Evidence-based treatment methodologies and strategies need to be adapted to the diverse regional, national and local circumstances, taking into account both cultural and economic factors.

  •  Knowledge transfer and ongoing clinical research implemented in different settings and regions is key to permanently improve the treatment programs available to patients.

  •  Training of treatment professionals from early on in their careers, including within university curricula and continuing education is essential to disseminate evidence-based methodologies.

Actions to promote this principle -

Ensure that:-

1. available resources are invested in evidence-based interventions
2. a comprehensive treatment system offers a wide range of evidence-based and integrated pharmacological and psychosocial interventions, aimed at treating the whole person. The range includes interventions of diverse intensity, from outreach, low-threshold and brief interventions to long-term, structured treatment
3. the duration of treatment interventions is determined by individual needs, and there are no pre-set limits to the duration of treatment
4. whenever possible, services are staffed by multidisciplinary teams adequately trained in the delivery of evidence-based interventions
5. basic services including detoxification, psychosocially assisted opioid agonist maintenance pharmacotherapy for opioid dependence, counselling, and social support are available thorough the territory
6. more complex cases, including patients with concomitant severe somatic and psychiatric disorders receive adequate care, possibly through referral to specialized services
7. psychosocial interventions have demonstrated to be effective in rehabilitation and relapse prevention, both in out-patient and residential settings, in particular cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing and contingency management, employment and vocational training, counselling and legal advice.
8. interventions are adapted for relevance to the socio-cultural environment in which they are applied, constantly updated in accordance to research developments and diversified research is conducted in all regions of the world.

THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA.

THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTS OF TAKING MARIJUANA INCLUDE RAPID HEART BEAT, DISORIENTATION, LACK OF PHYSICAL COORDINATION, OFTEN FOLLOWED BY DEPRESSION OR SLEEPINESS. 
SOME USERS SUFFER PANIC ATTACKS OR ANXIETY.
BUT THE PROBLEM DOES NOT END THERE.
ACCORDING TO SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT IN CANNABIS – THC- REMAINS IN THE BODY FOR WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS.
MARIJUANA SMOKE CONTAINS 50% TO 70% MORE CANCER-CAUSING SUBSTANCES THAN TOBACCO SMOKE. ONE MAJOR RESEARCH STUDY REPORTED THAT A SINGLE CANNABIS JOINT COULD CAUSE AS MUCH DAMAGE TO THE LUNGS AS UP TO FIVE REGULAR CIGARETTES SMOKED ONE AFTER ANOTHER.
LONG TIME JOINT SMOKERS OFTEN SUFFER FROM BRONCHITIS, AN INFLAMMATION OF THE RESPIRATORY TRACT.


THE DRUG CAN AFFECT MORE THAN YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH. STUDIES IN AUSTRALIA IN 2008 LINKED YEARS OF HEAVY MARIJUANA USE TO BRAIN ABNORMALITIES.
THIS IS BACKED UP BY EARLIER RESEARCH ON THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA, WHICH INDICATE CHANGES IN THE BRAIN SIMILAR TO THOSE CAUSED BY LONG -TERM ABUSE OF OTHER MAJOR DRUGS.
AND A NUMBER OF STUDIES HAVE SHOWN A CONNECTION BETWEEN CONTINUED MARIJUANA USE AND PSYCHOSIS.
MARIJUANA CAN CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF SPERM CELLS, DEFORMING THEM.

SHORT-TERM EFFECTS

LONG-TERM EFFECTS

WHAT IS MARIJUANA ?

Marijuana is one of the most abused drugs in the world. 
There is an ever-growing gap between the latest science about marijuana and the myths surrounding it.
Some people think that since it is legal in some places, it must be safe. But your body doesn’t know a legal drug from an illegal drug. It only knows the effect the drug creates once you have taken it.
Marijuana comes from the Indian hemp plant, and the part that contains the “drug” is found primarily in the flowers (commonly called the “buds”) and much less in the seeds, leaves, and stems of the plant.
Marijuana, when sold, is a mixture of dried out leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds of the hemp plant. It is usually green, brown or gray in color. Hashish is a tan, brown or black resin that is dried and pressed into bars, sticks or balls. When smoked, both marijuana and hashish give off a distinctive, sweet odor.

There are over 400 chemicals in marijuana and hashish.
The chemical that causes intoxication or the “high” in users is called THC ( tetra hydro cannabinol ). THC creates the mind-altering effects that classify marijuana as a “drug.”

Intoxication literally means “to poison by taking a toxic substance into your body.” Any substance that intoxicates causes changes in the body and the mind. It can create addiction or dependence, causing a person to want to take that drug even if it harms him or her.
You may have heard someone say that because marijuana is a plant, it’s “natural” and so it’s harmless. But it’s not. Hemlock, a poisonous plant, is also “natural,” but it can kill.


HOW IS IT USED?

Marijuana can be smoked as a cigarette (joint), but may also be smoked in a dry pipe or a water pipe known as a “bong.” 
It can also be mixed with food and eaten or brewed as a tea. These are called “edibles”.
Sometimes users open up cigars and remove the tobacco,
replacing it with pot—called a “blunt.” Joints and blunts are sometimes laced with other, more powerful drugs, such as crack cocaine or PCP (phencyclidine, a powerful hallucinogen).
When a person inhales the smoke from a joint or a pipe, he usually feels its effect within minutes. 
The immediate sensations increased heart rate, lessened coordination and balance, and a “dreamy,” unreal state of mind—peak within the first 30 minutes. These short term effects usually wear off in two to three hours, but they could last longer, depending on how much the user takes, the potency of THC and the presence of other drugs added into the mix.
As the typical user inhales more smoke and holds it longer than he would with a cigarette, a joint creates a severe impact on the lungs. Aside from the discomfort that goes with sore throats and chest colds, it has been found that smoking one joint gives as much exposure to cancer-producing chemicals as smoking four to five cigarettes.
The mental consequences of marijuana use are equally severe. Marijuana smokers have poorer memories and mental aptitude than do non-users.
Recent studies on young adults that smoke marijuana, found abnormalities in the brain related to emotion, motivation and
decision-making.
