Alcoholism-
Alcoholism can be a deadly disease from which there is no known cure and as the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous clearly states, “it can be arrested at some point and recovery is then possible”.
Getting and using and finding ways and means to get more is what most alcoholics suffer with each day they are in active addiction or alcoholism.

Cocaine-
Cocaine although it may not be physically addictive, it is mentally addictive. Drug addicts crave cocaine just as severely as heroin addicts even though they will not get physically sick with withdrawls. Addicts have been know to lie, steal, and kill for another line of cocaine or another hit of crack. Many female addicts will sell their bodies to support their habit for cocaine. Others will end up in jails, institutions or death.

Ecstasy-
This drug is known to produce “feelings of love;” however, it may also be fatal. Young teenagers are trying this drug more and more and then moving on to some of the “harder drugs” such as cocaine and heroin. MDMA 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methamphetamine, is a semisynthetic member of the amphetamine class of psychoactive drugs, a subclass of the phenethylamines.

Hallucinogens-
Hallucinogens are drugs that cause hallucinations. A hallucination may involve one or more of the five senses – vision, touch, smell, taste, and sound.

Heroin-
Common street names:
Heroin: – Lady, white girl, horse, black tar, brown sugar, smack, goods, H, junk, Harry
Morphine: – M, white stuff, cube, morf, mud, nasty
Heroin is physically addictive. Heroin slows people down giving them a feeling of warmth and detachment. It depresses brain activity and widens blood vessels. High doses may can lead to drowsiness and sedation

Marijuana-
Known to many as the gateway drug because most people start with Marijuana and then move on to “harder drugs” such as cocaine or heroin. Marijuana can be smoked or eaten and stays in the body from 1 week to 28 days typically depending on the amount of use or the duaration.

Methamphetamines-
Methamphetamine increases the release of very high levels of the brain chemical dopamine, which is involved in motivation, the experience of pleasure, and motor function, and is a common mechanism of action for most drugs of abuse.

Prescription Drugs-
Prescription drugs are becoming the preferred drug user choice. They are being prescribed by doctors,or stolen from stores. Addicts are now snorting and shooting pain pills such as Oxycontin. Prescription medications such as Xanax can have very dangerous withdrawal symptoms.

Drug Rehabilitation can be found online for addiction treatment.
