Treating Cocaine Dependence (Amphetamine)
The cocaine dependent person must first become convinced that treatment is necessary. As in all types of drug and alcohol dependence, more or less subtle forms of denial are common; for example, abusers may want relief for some of the side effects without giving up the habit itself. Sometimes they are induced to come in for treatment only by pressure from family members.
Various drugs in this group are called crystal, pep pills,
bennies, meth, and many other names, depending on the
specific active agent. Despite there dissimilar
chemical structures, they have many similar properties.
Moderate amphetamine use results in increased
wakefulness, alertness, and elevation of mood psychomotor
performance is improved temporarily, but the
improvement may be followed by a compensatory rebound
or letdown in which the user feels fatigued, less
alert, and somewhat depressed.
The medical uses of amphetamines include
suppression of appetite and improvement of mood in
mild depression.
What is amphetamine?
"Amphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant that affects chemicals in the brain and nerves that contribute to hyperactivity and impulse control. Amphetamine is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Evekeo brand of amphetamine is used to treat ADHD and also narcolepsy. Evekeo is sometimes used to treat obesity in people who have not lost weight with diets or other treatments".
~Amphetamines are also helpful in
treating certain neurological and behavioral disorders.
College students who use amphetamines when "cramming"
far exams not only notice increased energy and
tolerance for sleeplessness but also increased productivity
on the next day's exam. Although this may be useful
at times, even the "improved" performance may not 'be
truly better. Many students have the disillusioning experience
of looking at their wondrous performance later
and finding it to be of poor quality. The drug impaired
their critical thinking at the same time that it increased
their output.
High doses of amphetamines have significant effects
on the central nervous system and the cardiovascular
system; they lead to nervousness, headache, dizziness,
agitation, apprehensions, confusion, palpitations,
and elevated blood pressure. Regular use of large
amounts leads to greater tolerance for the drug and increased
intolerance for being without it. Users become
malnourished, exhausted, careless, and indifferent to
normal responsibilities. Often their thinking is characterized
by a paranoia that may develop into a full-blown
psychosis accompanied by hallucination. Withdrawal
symptoms, if they occur, are mild compared with those
that often accompany cessation of opioid use; they also
differ qualitatively. Since tolerance for amphetamines
develops rapidly, many users inject it into a vein to obtain
more intense effects. This high-dose, long-term use
of amphetamines is dangerous and self-destructive.
Since the initial effects are stimulating and pleasant, unwary
individuals often proceed to higher doses and
eventually to a state of dependence . Aversive conditioning
and token economies have been used with some success
in treating amphetamine addicts.
