12 Health Risks of Alcohol abuse

Alcohol abuse: 12 Chronic Health Risks of Heavy Drinking
Alcohol and Health Risks
It's no secret that alcohol consumption can cause major health problems, including liver cirrhosis and injuries sustained in a car accident. But if you think heart disease and car accidents are the only health risk posed by drink, think again: researchers have linked the consumption of alcohol to more than 60 types of disease.

1. Anemia
Drink heavily can cause the amount of oxygen carrying red blood cells become abnormally low. This condition, known as anemia, can trigger a number of symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness.

2. Cancer 
"The habit of drinking can increase the risk of cancer," said Jurgen Rehm, PhD, chairman of the University of Toronto's department of addiction policy and a senior scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. The scientists believe that the increased risk comes when the body converts alcohol into acetaldehyde , a potent carcinogen. Cancer sites associated with the use of alcohol, including mouth, pharynx (throat), heavy drinkers are also smokers. 

3. Cardiovascular Disease 
Drink heavily, especially binge drinking a stroke. In a study published in 2005, Harvard researchers found that binge drinking increases the risk of death doubled among those who initially survived a heart attack.Drinks can also cause severe cardiomyopathy, a condition that is potentially lethal in havoc than a pucker in rhythm, turvy in the main pumping chamber of the heart (ventricles). It causes loss of consciousness quickly, without immediate treatment, can cause sudden death. 

4. Cirrhosis 
Alcohol is a poison so be not working seriously injured. But it is difficult to predict which drinkers will develop cirrhosis. For some unknown reason, women seem most vulnerable.

5. Dementia
As we get older, their brain is shrinking, the average at a rate of approximately 1.9% per decade. It is still considered normal. But the speed of shrinkage in heavy drinkers are located in certain key areas in the brain, causing memory loss and other symptoms of dementia. 
Drinks can also cause severe deficits in subtle but potentially weaken the ability to plan, make decisions, solve problems, and other aspects of "executive function," which "high-level capabilities that allow us to maximize our function as human beings," said James C. Garbutt, MD, professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
In addition to dementia "specific" is derived from brain atrophy, heavy drinking can also lead to malnutrition so severe that they lead to other forms of dementia.

6. Depression
Has long been known that heavy drinkers often goes hand in hand with depression, but there has been debate about which came first - drinking or depression. One theory is that depressed people turn to alcohol in an attempt to "treat-yourself" to reduce their emotional pain. But in 2010, a large study from New Zealand suggests that perhaps the opposite - namely, heavy drinks that cause depression. 

7. Seizures
Drink heavily may be the cause of epilepsy and also can trigger seizures in people who do not even have epilepsy. It can also interfere with the action of drugs used to treat the disorder. 

8. Gout
A painful condition, gout is caused by the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Although some cases are mostly hereditary, alcohol and other dietary factors apparently also play a role. Alcohol also appears to aggravate the cases that already have gout.

9. High Blood Pressure
Alcohol can interfere with the sympathetic nervous system, among others, which controls the constriction and dilation of blood vessels in response to stress, cultivation temperature, etc. Weight drinks - and in particular, heavy binge drinking, can cause increased blood pressure. Over time, these effects can become chronic. High blood pressure can cause many other health problems, including kidney disease, heart disease, and stroke.

10. Infectious Diseases
Drink heavily suppress the immune system, providing pedestal for infections, including tuberculosis, pneumonia, HIV / AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (including some that cause sterility). People who drink heavily are also more likely to make risky sex. "Heavy drinking is associated with a threefold increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases," said Rehm.

11. Damage to nerves
Drinks can cause severe forms of nerve damage known as alcoholic neuropathy, which can produce feelings of pain like pins stuck in - and - needles in the legs, as well as muscle weakness, incontinence, constipation, erectile dysfunction, and other problems. Alcoholic neuropathy may arise because alcohol is toxic to nerve cells or due to malnutrition resulting from heavy drinking which endanger the functioning of nerves. 

12. Pancreatitis
In addition to causing irritation of the stomach (gastritis), drinking can also stimulate the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis interfere with the digestive process, causing acute abdominal pain and diarrhea. Some cases of chronic pancreatitis induced by gallstones, but up to 60% comes from the consumption of alcohol.

DRUGS ( Causes, Characteristics, Prevention and Healing )

we watch television show one full day, definitely loads of drug cases that we can see. There are students who were arrested for  use drug, until a family consisting of father, mother, son, and daughter who also sells drugs. Really scary.

ACTUALLY, what is meant by drugs? Drugs are chemicals which, when inserted into the human body, either orally or by mouth, inhaled, or injectable (intravenous cool term)-can change your thoughts, moods, or feelings and behavior. There are many types of substance and each substance has a different effect for the body.

Most substances in the actual drug used for treatment and research. Drug abuse is the use of drugs and other dangerous substances with intent rather than for medicinal purposes and / or research and are used without following the rules and the correct dose. Continuous use and will lead to continued dependency or dependencies. Long term use is addiction.

Why do people abuse drugs?

Many of the causes we can abuse drugs. Many cases we try to use drugs because offered, and under pressure from peers. Or, we use it to avoid or forget about problems and conflicts encountered in everyday life.

There are many interacting factors that encourage us to abusing drugs. Some of them are:

1. Individual Factors

Drug abuse is influenced by: a state of mental, physical, and psychological one. Mental conditions such as personality disorders, depression, and mental disorders can increase a person's tendency to abuse narcotics. Individual factors are generally determined by two aspects, namely:

a. Biological Aspects: According Schuchettada, evidence suggests that genetic factors play a role in alcoholism and some forms of deviant behavior, including substance abuse.

b. Psychological Aspects: The majority of drug abuse begins in adolescence. Some features of development during adolescence may encourage someone to abuse drugs, namely: lack of confidence or lack of PD, the inability to manage stress or problems encountered, trial and error and chance to gain new experiences that it can cause a teenager falling prey to drug abuse forbidden.

In some adolescents, drug abuse is a tool of social interaction, that is to be accepted by peers or a manifestation of opposition to the parents in order to establish identity and so are considered adults.

There is an expert who suggested Nurco there are 5 factors (which can stand alone or joined to one another) to explain why someone might become drug abusers, while others do not:

? The need to suppress frustration and aggressive drive and inability to delay gratification.

? There is no obvious sexual identification.

? Lack of awareness and efforts to achieve goals which are socially acceptable.

? Using behavior demonstrate the ability of the danger to themselves.

? Pressing boredom.

2. Factor medicine / Substance

? In fact there are several types of drugs that are used as benchmarks of certain social status. As such, they are not using will have a strong social pressure (usually from peers) to try and wear them.

? The belief that drugs can help boost self-confidence and reduce the burden on the matter at hand.

? The nature of narcotics and psychotropic drug classes is addiction and tolerance.

? Circulation of more and more and more easily obtained.

3. Environmental Factors

Several sociological factors that are considered to cause abuse drugs / substances, among others:

a. Family Relations: Usually families do not have a problem with abuse harmonious drugs / substances, such as the mother is too dominant, overprotective, authoritarian father or indifferent to the family. Or parents who impose the will of the children that encourage children to escape to the wild dreams through medication. Poor quality of family relationships can lead to abuse of drugs / substance increases. Drug abuse / illicit substances are also influenced by the habits of other family members, such as parents and sister who also use drugs / substances is prohibited.

b. Influence Friends: The Influence of friends for the abuse of drugs / substance is very large. Punishment by a group of peers, especially excommunication for those who try to quit, perceived as being more severe than the use of the drug itself (50 Hypnotized .

Are all types of drugs is harmful to our bodies?

All drugs and substances can harm the body if consumed in an unregulated usage. How big is the effect on the body depending on the type of drugs used, how many and often use them, how to wear, and whether used in conjunction with other drugs.

Effects of drugs on the human body also depends on a variety of psychological factors, such as personality, expectations or feelings while wearing, and biological factors such as weight gain and a tendency to allergies. Physiologically, the organs most affected are the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord), autonomic organs (heart, lung, liver, kidney) five senses because that is affected is the CNS.

Experts say, the use of these drugs in Indonesia are multidrug use. That is, some types of drugs are used at once or alternately. Use of this way is more fatal consequences.

Drug rehabilitation is a procedure whereby a drug addict is given a medical or psychological care to keep them away from drugs. Government, to prevent people from taking the drug itself has made a rule that required a prescription from a medical practitioner only for people who would take drugs, and illegally taking or giving to others may be subject to punishment. Drugs should only be given to the need. In most cases when people started to consume drugs because of his mental status, they will get psychological treatment.

All rehabilitation centers offer psychological treatment. In this treatment, drug addicts away from drugs and psychologically asked to keep themselves to engage in exciting activities and keep them free from tension. Because the patient's busy doing activities that interest them, they gradually begin to lose the need for drugs. Alcoholics can also be given this treatment. This is an effective treatment method because it is not possible to think of drug addicts, and has thus become a very popular means to cure addicts around the world.

Rehabilitation programs vary depending on specific cases. Motivate an addict is spiritually has proven useful in many cases. Sometimes other drugs are very useful and effective for eliminating drug addiction than others. These patients also need emotional support are great to get out of their addiction. Addicts should not be left alone and always asked to remain engaged with others.

In short, drug consumption is a major threat and have taken appropriate measures to overcome them. Drug addiction does not offer a solution to your problem. Interaction friends and family to help you solve the problem. Drugs created to benefit mankind and not for their destruction.

Therapy
Model of rehabilitation therapy that can be used to help a person break away from addiction and behavior change for the better.

Moral Therapy Model
This model is commonly known by the public as well as the approach is usually done by religious / moral emphasis on individual sin and weakness. The model is very appropriate therapy as applied to communities that still adhere to religious values ​​and morality in the place of origin, because the model is run concurrently with the concept of good and bad are taught by religion. So it is not surprising that moral therapy model that is the bedrock of the legal justification for war against drug abuse.

Models of Social Therapy
The model uses the concept of community treatment programs, where addiction to drugs is seen as a phenomenon of social deviation (social disorder). The purpose of this treatment model is to direct behavior toward deviant social behavior is more feasible. It is based on the awareness that most drug addicts are almost always involved in social action, including a criminal action. The advantages of this model is its attention to behavioral addiction drug addicts are concerned, not on drugs of abuse.

Prakreknya can be done through lectures, seminars, and especially therapy group (group encounters). The goal is nothing but the train social responsibility of each individual, so that the mistakes done one person be the responsibility together. This is the uniqueness of the model of social therapy, namely the proper functioning of the community such as a change agent (the agent of change.

Medical Therapy Model
This model stems from some of the concepts in physiological or metabolic theory, which views the behavior of drug addiction as something that occurs due to etiological factors or heredity. There are two kinds of therapy models based on this concept.

First, the concept of cure drug addiction by using other drugs. An example is the model of methadone treatment for opiate addicts. This therapy is based on a theory of Dole and Nyswander stating that opiate addiction is the result of metabolic deficiency, so it must be straightened by providing methadone.

Second, the concept of cure drug addiction by way of looking at drug addiction as a disease. From this biological theory approach was born the concept of "disease" which when translated means "disease", or it could be interpreted as discomfort. Therapy for the concept of "disease" is very different to look at behavioral addiction therapy as a social aberration. In this therapy is considered an addict as a patient, where they will be fostered and closely monitored by team doctors. The drawback of this therapy is its "hard", in which patients were rehabilitated with the concept of allergy. Because the patient has an allergy to drugs, then they should not consume a lifetime.
Recognizing these limitations, the concept of addiction as a disease of great importance on gathering (fellowship) of those who have the disease of drug addiction to become supporters of each other.

Psychological Therapy Model
This model is adapted from a psychological theory of Mc Lellin, et al mention that the behavior of drug addiction is the fruit of emotion that do not function properly because of a conflict, so that addicts take drugs to alleviate or remove options psychological burden. The model is concerned with emotional healing therapy of drug addicts are concerned, where if his emotions could be controlled so they will not have any more problems with drugs. Types of psychological therapy model is usually a lot done on personal counseling, both in rehabilitation centers and in private therapy.

Therapy Culture Model
This model states that behavior is the result of drug addiction is a lifelong socialization within the social environment or culture. In this case, the family as well as the environment can be categorized as a "particular social and cultural environment".

The rationale is that the practice of drug abuse by certain family members is the result of accumulation of all the problems that occur within the family concerned. So this model a lot of emphasis on the therapeutic process for the family members of these drug addicts.

They go into rehab and come out clean. But they can survive net rarely more than a few months. The mind has a way of making a bad habit of not looking very dangerous. We all have bad habits (although not as bad as substance abuse) as lazy, selfish, dishonest, and others. And when we try hard to stop, at some point we know how tempting to indulge yourself once again. Combine with the effects of chemical substances that weaken your resolve, and you know how hard it is.
Government a few years ago, passed a law called the Mental Health Parity Law. It forces insurance companies to treat mental problems just like they treat physical problems. And that includes drug and alcohol addiction. Now with the insurance for these problems, the rehabilitation center is overwhelmed anticipate a longer waiting list. Currently there are 25 million people in America who need and want treatment but do not get it.
Even so, one wonders what good it is. The effectiveness of the claims of rehabilitation centers showed very disappointing results. Rehabilitation is not even an exact science. They do not even have a decent universal protocol to use. The experts actually refer to substance abuse treatment system as a method of washing machine. You put the clothes into the washing machine, press the button and then expect all your clothes to come out with a net. Sometimes, they will be clean, sometimes not. But they chose to believe that they are clean. That's why government requires each government funds spent on the rehabilitation is only provided on evidence-based treatment center. Elsewhere, you can easily forge your way and get away.
