Question by aiyana ss: What are the drugs being used for substance abuse treatments?
I was wondering what drugs were being used for the treatment of heroin addiction. I just got intrigued because I’ve always thought that addicts just had to get off heroin (or whatever substance it is that they’re addicted to) and that that would be enough for them to get better.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Most Common Prescription Drugs Abused by Teenagers in the US
Prescription drug addiction is becoming a common problem among teenagers that needs to be addressed. In order to address this concern, it is essential for the parents and everyone else involved with the teenager to get enough information on the nature of prescription drug addiction. Everything else, including intervention, prescription drug testing and rehabilitating the affected teenager, flows from there.
One step towards gathering information on what prescription drug abuse is all about is by knowing the most common prescription drugs abused by teenagers, at least in the United States.
1. Narcotics. Narcotics, also known as painkillers, are prescribed by doctors to manage pain.
2. Sedatives. Sedatives are used mainly to treat sleeping disorders and anxiety.
3. Stimulants. Stimulants are usually prescribed to treat conditions like ADHD, asthma, sleep disorders and narcolepsy.
Given these three major classifications of prescription drugs, the following are the five most commonly abused prescription drugs by teenagers today.
1. Vicodin. Vicodin is an analgesic painkiller that contains paracetamol and hydrocodone and it is often prescribed to manage acute pain. Distribution of this drug is heavily regulated by the US government. The slang used by junkies who distribute it is “happy pills” or “vikes.”
2. Valium. Valium is one of the brand names by which the drug diazepam is known for. It is a sedative synonymous with the term “sleeping pill.” Doctors prescribe valium to patients with anxiety, sleeping disorders, muscle spasms and other conditions.
3. Xanax. Xanax is the drug commonly prescribed to patients with severe depression or anxiety disorders and panic attacks. Its generic name is alprazolam, but the street slang for it is “totem poles.”
4. Ritalin. Known on the streets as “kiddy cocaine” and “Vitamin R,” Ritalin is a brand name for methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is a stimulant and a common ingredient in drugs used to treat ADHD, daytime drowsiness and chronic fatigue syndrome.
5. Dexedrine. Dexedrine is one of the many brand names of drugs containing amphetamines. It is a stimulant that is meant to treat patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
The drugs listed above can be bought only with the correct prescription. However, many teenagers get their hands on these prescription drugs by stealing the pills prescribed for their parents or their siblings, or given to them by their friends. If any member of the family is prescribed these drugs and the pills or tablets suddenly go missing, it is one sign of teenage prescription drug abuse.
Dealing with a teenager who is displaying signs of prescription drug abuse is very tricky. It often leads to emotional confrontations between the angry teenager and the anxious parents.
Nonetheless, it is important for the parents to remain calm when dealing with their teenager who is showing symptoms of prescription drug addiction. Parents should impress upon the teenager that they are intervening out of love and not out of any desire to meddle. It is also essential for parents who are dealing with teenage children facing prescription drug abuse to show their children that they are people worthy of trust.

Question by The Infamous Vinnie G: Why are White teens more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs?
According to a New York City Department of Health study, White teens are more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs than minority teens. 28% of White kids binge drink, as opposed to 18% of Latino teens and only 8% of Black youth. 43% of White teenagers have used drugs, but only 37% of Black kids and 34% of Latino young people.
Why is alcohol and drug abuse so much more common among White teenagers?
And, since Whites are more likely to abuse drugs, how come Blacks and Latinos are so much more likely to get arrested for drugs?
It’s really funny how some White folks, who will believe anything negative about Blacks and Latinos, refuse to believe anything negative about their own race – even if it’s a fact verified by a government agency! Incidentally, the NYC Health Dept is run by a White man, Dr Thomas Frieden!

DEPARTMENTS OF HEALTH AND EDUCATION PRESENT FINDINGS ON DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE AMONG NYC YOUTH
Drug and Alcohol Use among NYC Youth is Less than National Average and Declining, but Still Concerning
White Youth Binge Drink Significantly More than Black or Hispanic Students
NEW YORK CITY – March 20, 2007 – A survey of New York City public high school students shows that teens were less likely to drink or use other drugs in 2005 than in 2001. One in three youth (35%) in New York City reported drinking alcohol in the past month in 2005, compared to 41% in 2001. Additionally, in 2005 approximately 12% of public high school students reported recently using marijuana
down by about a third since 2001. The results are based on the 2005 NYC Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a survey conducted every two years by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and Department of Education (DOE). While this decline is good news, too many teens are using drugs and alcohol, leading to avoidable hospitalizations and deaths. A report on the findings is available at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/downloads/pdf/survey/survey-2007subsAbuse.pdf.
“New York City kids are getting smarter,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas R. Frieden. “There are a third fewer youth smoking today than in 2001; this is important because teens who smoke are more than twice as likely to try alcohol and other drugs. Parents should set clear rules against drinking, smoking, and using drugs, and talk honestly to their children about the dangers of substance use. If parents suspect their child is drinking or using drugs, there are counseling resources available through doctors and schools
to help address the problem.”
“Alcohol and other drug use can impair judgment and lead to poor decisions, such as engaging in unprotected sex,” Dr. Frieden said. “This can lead to unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.”
“It is great news that fewer public high school students today drink or use drugs,” said Chancellor Klein. “Students, parents, and families should know that their schools are a safe and appropriate place to ask questions about drugs and alcohol, and to get information, resources, and support for themselves or loved ones who may need assistance.”
Other Key Findings
NYC youth binge drink half as much as the national average (14% vs. 26%).
White youth report more binge drinking in the past month (28%) than black (8%) or Hispanic (18%) youth.
Youth in NYC are less likely than youth nationwide to use marijuana (28% vs. 38%), inhalants (9% vs. 12%), ecstasy (4% vs. 6%), cocaine (4% vs. 8%), or methamphetamines (2% vs. 6%).
Similar to the
national average, about one in four students were younger than 13 when they tried drinking for the first time.
Report Recommendations
Schools continue to strictly enforce no-substance use policies and promote anti-substance use messages
Enforcement of policies and promotion of anti-substance use messages during the school day and in after-school activities is critical for students in all grades, teachers and other staff.
Educators are advised to target evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs and messages to groups with the highest usage rates, as well as areas with the largest youth substance users.
Schools can help smokers, and students, parents, and staff who use other substances, to quit – including referring students to mental health providers when appropriate.
Parents Make a Difference
Parents can take an active, healthy interest in their children. Ask them where they are, what they are doing, and whom they are with.
Parents can talk honestly about the downside of substance use: car crashes and injuries; legal problems; money problems; bad grades; losing out on sports, jobs, and college; feeling bad; and looking bad.
Parents are advised to set clear house rules against alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. A “zero-tolerance” policy is easiest to enforce.
Parents are advised to set a good example by establishing a smoke-free home; if you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation, and don’t use drugs even if you think your kids don’t know (they usually do).
Parents can also help children find ways to avoid or get out of situations where they feel pushed to drink or use drugs.
Tips for Parents who Suspect a Young Person is Using Drugs or Alcohol
Talk honestly with your teen and share your concern, but be careful about how you react.
Be calm, even if you’re angry or upset.
Ask direct questions about alcohol and drugs. If you have evidence, say so.
Sometimes a serious discussion is enough but, if not, consider getting advice from your family doctor or a counselor.
Youth Risk Behavior Survey
This information is based on results of the 2005 New York City Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a self-administered, anonymous questionnaire adapted for New York City from protocols developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nationally, the survey is conducted in both public and private schools. In New York City, the survey has been conducted in public schools every two years since 1997. From 1997 to 2001 the survey was conducted by DOE; since 2003, it has been conducted jointly by DOHMH and DOE.

Question by colleen_li: Aside from methadone, what are the other drugs used to treat heroin addiction?
I was just wondering since I’ve heard that methadone is also addictive. What are the other alternatives?
Best answer:
Answer by cathy b
The other medications used for treating heroin addiction are naloxone (used for cases of overdose), naltrexone, and buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is fairly new, but is proving to be an appealing alternative to methadone, since a single injection can be effective for up to 6 weeks. It isn’t just medication alone that is used to treat heroin addicts, though. There must also be therapy or counseling, or even rehabilitation.
