Program description:
Recreational drugs can incorporate substances that are frequently abused. These substances may cause addiction in many and some even have an affinity for causing life issues like family problems, relationship troubles, financial woes, professional deterioration, and much more. But what is the real difference between recreational drug use versus addiction? Is there a line that prevents someone from crossing over into a point of no return? Being impulsive has been shown to create a bridge between recreational drug use to compulsive drug use. The outcome can cause a drug habit or addiction, and this can lead to the person needing to go through drug detox and rehabilitation at an inpatient treatment program.
The line between recreational drug use versus addiction is often blurred. While everyone interacts with drugs differently, repeated substance use can begin to cause changes in the brain. These changes can last long after the immediate effect of the substance wears off. In this presentation we will take a closer look at these drug effects.
Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Identify the different types of commonly abused recreational substances and their effects on the body and mind.
- Explain the factors that contribute to substance use and addiction, including genetics, environment, and personal choice.
- Discuss the risks associated with substance use, including overdose, infectious diseases, and mental health disorders.
- Describe evidence-based treatment options for substance use disorders, including medication-assisted treatment and psychotherapy.
