...Neal, James, 201 Biblical Ethics/303 Biblical Worldview, Final, May 21, 2016, ABS/B I read 100% of the book. Alcoholism According to an online article I found titled “Alcoholism signs - here are ten warning signs of alcoholism you should know” It states that consuming one or two drinks per day for healthy men and one drink a day for healthy non-pregnant women is “generally considered acceptable consumption without health risks.” However, as in the case of my family, as the amount of drinking per day or per week increases, alcoholism can develop as a result. The article goes on to say that as many as 12-14 million adults are chronic heavy drinkers who abuse alcohol or are alcoholics, my Uncle Harold comes to mind. He became an alcoholic early on in life, he was a binge drinker in high school and early twenties then due to stress on the job as he put it became a full fledged alcoholic. He always denied he had a problem because he never missed a day of work or any other obligation, and would angrily defend himself. But, denial and alcoholism are like two peas in a pod. He continued to drink and his health became progressively worse over the years. He lost his appetite and has a poor eating habits due to all the years of hard drinking. Now at the age of 86, he can hardly hold anything in his hands or can only fill a glass half full because of the uncontrollable shakes he has from the damage alcohol has done to his...

...Morphine Research Paper Pain is the body’s natural reaction to distress or damage to the tissues of the body usually due to illness or injury. There are different levels of severity of pain and several categories of drugs that treat it Morphine is a type of narcotic drug synthesized from opium. It is a drug called an opiate that is used to alleviate pain. Opioids are substances that bind to the kappa, lambda and mu opioid receptors in the brain. Morphine acts mainly on mu receptors to decrease the transmission of painful stimuli through the spinal cord from body to brain, as well as action within the brain itself. Currently, it is legal in Canada with a doctor’s prescription. Common brand names for morphine include Avinza, Kadian, MS Contin, MSIR, Oramorph SR, and Roxanol. Prescription If morphine is to be used in a safe and legal manner, many factors should be taken into account. For example, your doctor should be notified if you have asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, liver or kidney disease, underactive thyroid, curvature of the spine, a history of head injury or brain tumor, epilepsy, low blood pressure, mental illness, amongst other things. It is not recommended to take morphine with other opioids, as this could cause problems if your body is not opioid tolerant. Effects: Other than alleviation of pain, some effects of morphine include impairment of mental and physical performance, relief of fear and anxiety, euphoria, decrease in hunger, and inhibiting the cough reflex....

And the results were successful, numerous individuals who had trouble with despair, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as additional severe psychiatric situations not once was offered nor established action on behalf of their substance abuse issues.

...CRM-260 Mrs. Patterson 1/5/13 Courtroom observation The purpose of this paper is to show what I observed throughout the three hours that I spent in the Green County judicial courtroom number V. This was the first time that I had ever been in any courthouse and I felt like I was entering an airport terminal when I had to go through security in order to enter the building. When I first arrived the judge was not in the courtroom and we had to wait around twenty minutes for him to enter, when he finally arrived we all stood as he entered and the sentencing for the case of State vs. Raymond was under way. In this case the prosecutor was seeking a twelve year prison sentence for the defendant. the defendant, Raymond was being brought up on charges for meth use and violating parole ten times. The defense attorney wanted a 100 to 120 day in-patient treatment sentence. His defense was that he had been conviction free for the last three years, in last few months he had paid quote “ several thousands of dollars in child support,” and lastly he has lately been focusing on his family more. I thought the reasons that the defense stated were not adequate enough to receive a 100 to 120 day in-patient treatment, and neither did the state. When it was the states turn to prove that his actions were in fact worthy of a twelve year prison sentence, it was a much more convincing argument. The main points that the prosecutor hit on where: he failed to find employment, failed to meet...

...think about helping those who may need help we need to realize that there are many ideas on helping the people who need help. It is suggested that a counselor’s knowledge, theory and ability are only as good as the counselor’s personal qualities (Jevne, 1082). What this means is that therapeutic techniques will help people who are looking for counseling when the counselor’s personality is genuinely helpful (Truax & Mitchell, 1971). In this paper I will try to explain my own personal model of helping. I will use my real life experiences, suggest some useable applications, and cover some of the problems my model may cover. I will also try to address and overcome multicultural issues. Hopefully I will be able to address any limitations as well as the strengths my model may have. I will also identify some types of people my model will be able to help. Not until lately did I even dream my interest in helping others would make me want to be a counselor. I want to help people the way I was helped when I went into rehab for drug addiction. The counselors there were some of the most understanding people I had ever met and they did not judge me. They made sure I realized they were there to help me. I am also a 5 year chip toter of NA (Narcotics Anonymous). My sponsor said I had so much empathy for other members and was such a good listener I should choose counseling as a profession. Back then I did not think I was cut out for it but now I think I would be a great counselor...

...Overview of Cocaine Jasmine Wright Research Paper Professor Suh It is a Friday night and your roommates at your dorm invite you to a dorm party. Instead of finishing your homework you decide to join them and put the homework off for tomorrow. You tell yourself that you wont be out so late and that you had a long week so why not. As you arrive to the party, there are girls kissing up on boys as they take shots. You tell yourself that you would not participate because your parents did not grow you up in that kind of manner. As the night passes, your roommates pressure you into taken a shot of tequila. Eventually, one shot turns into two and then three. Until, the shots are not enough. Your roommate turns to and says, “Try this”. She passes you a little “baggy” of a white powder substance. You ask, “What is it?” She replies, “ it’s coke, you’ll love it.” You take the rolled up bill from her hand and you try your first line of coke.

...manic-depressive disorder, is best described as an illness that results in drastic and unpredictable mood swings, energy levels and one’s ability to complete daily tasks. Not to be confused with simply being tired or in a bad mood, the symptoms associated with bipolar disorders are drastic, severe and frightening for many. It can easily annihilate relationships, jeopardize careers and in some cases, those with diagnosed bipolar can attempt and succeed in committing suicide. This paper will take a look at how this illness can affect one’s daily life and what that might mean to an outsider looking in. A Day in the Life: Bipolar Disorder To understand bipolar disorder, one must first understand the dynamics behind the illness. “Bipolar” means literally “two opposite poles” (Mrazek, 2008). Most often, bipolar disorder develops in one’s late teen years or early adulthood and while the official studies insist approximately 1% of the American population suffers from this order, new research suggests that it could be as high as 5% (Hedaya, 2010). According to the National Institute of Mental Health, a full one half of all diagnoses are made before the age of twenty-five (2008). The symptoms vary from one person to the next and what might be considered severe symptoms for one many be easily addressed in another (Das, Olfson, Gameroff, Pilowsky, Blanco, Feder, Gross, Neria, Lantigua, Shea, and Weissman 2005). The only consistency in this mental health illness...

...Tanisha Vaughn College Composition John Aramini November 6, 2015 Topic Search Paper Addiction has been a serious problem for many years. There are ways to overcome addiction, but only if one is willing to take the time to go through the tough steps. There are also various types of treatment that help cleanse an addict. They can check themselves into a clinical home as a way to help. There have been many occasions in which a drug addict goes through a cleansing process in order to get better, and have in fact made no progress whatsoever. Residential treatment programs have been proven to be very effective in the healing process but the effects are dissolved because of bad timing. Meaning that the treatment occurs way too early in the process. Throughout the history of the United States of America there have been many serious problems that Americans have tried to overcome in the past. One of the most troublesome problems has been addiction. Addiction is a chronic brain disease that compels a person to continue using a substance they know is harmful to them. Overcoming addiction is a challenge that often requires group support in an environment such as rehab. Common drugs that are used and abused are meth, cocaine, GHB, and even legal drugs like Xanax or DXM (cough medicine). The dangers of drug use are real. In...

...The detoxification, or detox, process is a necessary first step when a person is recovering from drug addiction or alcoholism. In order to achieve complete recovery, he or she needs to get all of the harmful chemicals that have accumulated from substance abuse out of the body. Alcohol detoxification is a long, drawn-out and difficult process involving rehabilitator medicine, in-patient treatment in a de-addiction facility, and support from doctors and family. Ultimately it depends on the determination of the patient. Detox treatment usually involves being in a hospital for three to seven days. During this time the patients condition is monitored and medicines and nutriments are given that counter withdrawal reactions. Some alcoholics...
