No single factor determines whether a person
will become addicted to drugs.
What is drug addiction?
Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive
drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because
drugs change the brain—they change its structure and how it works. These brain changes can
be long-lasting, and can lead to the harmful behaviors seen in people who abuse drugs.
(According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.) For more information, check their website
www.drugabuse.gov
Narcan/naloxone is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of an opioid emergency
such as an overdose or possible opioid overdose with signs of breathing problems and severe
sleepiness or not being able to respond. It is now available in nasal spray form at many
drugstores but also with a doctor's prescription. Medicaid and many insurances will pay for
it. While it revives the person, 911 still needs to be called and the person stills needs to be
cleared by medical staff. It is still a medical emergency. It is totally safe to use.

5 Myths about Drug Abuse and
Addiction
MYTH 1: Overcoming addiction is a simply a matter of willpower. You can stop using drugs if you
really want to.
The continued exposure to drugs actually alters the brain in ways that result in cravings that are
extremely powerful and push the compulsion to continue using. These changes make it difficult to quit
by sheer will.
MYTH 2: Addiction is a disease; there’s nothing you can do about it.
Most experts agree that addiction is a brain disease and that it is a chronic disease. However don’t call
the addict a “helpless victim”. Addiction is a disease but not an excuse and just like any other person
with a chronic disease, they need to do what they must to control it. The brain does change for the
better when addiction is treated and the addict continues to stay clean.
MYTH 3: Addicts have to hit rock bottom before they can get better.
This is considered the normal but actually recovery can begin at any point in the addiction process. The
longer drug abuse continues, the harder it is to treat. It is quite common for that first wake up call to
take place because of an arrest. An arrest lays the problem out on the table and makes it very hard to
hide the fact that someone is abusing drugs. So often families protest at this time that the addict needs
help and shouldn’t be in jail. The fact is they broke the law and usually other charges are involved.
Remember addiction is not an excuse.
MYTH 4: You can’t force someone into treatment; they have to want help.
Treatment does NOT have to be voluntary to be successful. People are often pressured into treatment
by their family, employer or the legal system. As they sober up, many become less resistant to change.
The difficult part is keeping them invested in their own recovery. That component can only come from
them and that is why recovery is always an ongoing process.
MYTH 5: Treatment didn’t work before, so there’s no point trying again.
Recovery from drug addiction is a process that often involves setbacks. These are relapses and those
are signals for the addict to get back on track, either by re-entering active treatment or adjusting the
treatment approach. It is not a time to accept or allow them to claim a tried and failed attitude. Often
families of addicts and even addicts themselves claim jail didn’t cure them or a certain treatment didn’t
cure them - It is not the role of either to cure them. They are tools that allow the addict to help himself.
It is great that we have programs within jail but again it is up to the addict to work the programs and do
what they have to do to become drug-free.
