Problems in adolescence with Drugs

Marijuana use can increase risk of spill in young users Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, 20/02/2005 regular marijuana Users can be if placing at risk of spill, when they still are young, it indicated a study of case, published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. One knows that the use of illicit drugs is associated with an increased risk of spill in young users, being heroine, cocaine, and implied amphetamines more frequently. The patient one was a professor of primary school of 36 years, who was a sporadical marijuana user in the past. It did not have known factors of risk for spill, he did not use other drugs, and he only drank 0ccasionally. The first incident occurred later that it smoked a considerable amount of marijuana combined with three or four drinks in a party. It lost its capacity to speak, that he was followed, few hours later for convulsions. An examination of the brain disclosed to a signal of hemorrhage and sanguine other coágulo, but no evidence of narrowed arteries. It was treated and if he recouped. One year later, after smoking marijuana, it lost its capacity of speaking and felt weakness in a side of its body again (hemiparesia). A cerebral examination disclosed to a small signal of hemorrhage as well as sanguine other coágulo, but in different areas of before. The man if absteu to use marijuana for 18 months, but later he smoked a reasonable amount of a time, combined with three or four drinks. This resulted in an incapacity to recognize sounds, a known condition as Auditory Ack of knowledge. The examination of the brain disclosed a signal of hemorrhage as well as the damage left for the previous bleeds. The mannering abnormalitys and the increased risk of schizophrenia, associate with the frequent marijuana use, well are known, say the authors. But less known, and not less important, they are the cardiovascular effect. These include cardiac beating (taquicardia), high sanguine pressure excessively or low, and the reduction of the capacity to carry oxygen for the hemácias fast. Marijuana also quadruplicates the risk of attack of the heart inside of one hour of consumption. Although the spread out marijuana use, exists only 15 other cases of spill, that are on to the marijuana consumption. But they conclude: ” Marijuana is not a drug so insurance as many believe… “. Future studies will be necessary to clarify the paper of marijuana as a factor of risk for spill, therefore it can be being subestimado. An editorial that argues the possible mechanisms for the impact of the drugs in the cardiovascular system, suggests that using recreativos of marijuana must be alerted on the potential risks for its health. ” The therapeutical potential of marijuana and its derivatives must be evaluated rigorously and the rich relation of/benefit must be taken in account before authorizeing its use medicinal” , it wrote Dr. Dominique Deplanque, of the department of pharmacology of the University of Lille.

The Chemical Dependence is a set of phenomena that involve the behavior, the cognition and the consequent corporal physiology to the repeated consumption of a psychoactive substance, associated to the strong desire to use this substance, together with difficulty in controlling its persistent use although its harmful consequences. In the dependence generally it has partner-occupational priority to the use of the drug in detriment of other activities and obligations. The tolerance is the first criterion related to the dependence. Tolerance is the necessity of increasing amounts of the substance to reach the desired effect or, when the dose is not increased, it is also understood as a effect acentuadamente diminished with the continued use of the same amount of the substance. The degree where the tolerance if develops varies immensely between substances. A standard of repeated use of the substance exists that generally results in tolerance, abstinence and compulsory behavior of consumption of the drug. A diagnosis of Substance Dependence can be applied to any substance classroom. The dependence symptoms are similar between some substances, varying in the amount and gravity of such symptoms between one and another drug. Decurrent the psychic and social symptoms of the dependence of the tobacco, for example, are absolutely lesser of what those of the dependence to the alcohol. ” is called; fissura” the strong subjective impulse or uncontrollable compulsion to use the substance. Although specifically it is not related as a criterion, the “fiction” tends to be tried by the majority of the individuals with Substance Dependence (if not for all). The dependence is defined as a grouping of the three or more than related symptoms ahead, occurring at any time, in the same period of 12 months. The individuals with use heavy of opióides and stimulants can develop the most serious levels of tolerance, for example, as more amount after some time was needed ten times. Frequently these dosages of the tolerance would be lethal for a person not-user. Many smokers consume 20 cigarettes per day more than, an amount that would have produced symptoms of toxicidade for a person who is starting to smoke. The individuals with marijuana use heavy in general do not have conscience of that they had developed tolerance, even so this have been wide demonstrated in studies with animals and some individuals. The tolerance can be difficult to determine with base only in the estória offered for the person, however, the laboratoriais tests finishes showing high sanguine levels of that substance, together with few evidences of poisoning, what it suggests a probable tolerance strong.

Criteria for Substance Dependence

An badly-adapt standard of substance use, leading the damage or clinically significant suffering, revealed for three (or more) of the following criteria, occurring at any time in the same period of 12 months: (1) tolerance, defined for any one of the following aspects: (a) necessity of gradually bigger amounts of the substance to acquire the poisoning or desired effect (b) accented reduction of the effect with the continued use of the same amount of substance (2) abstinence, revealed for any of the following aspects: (a) syndrome of characteristic abstinence for the substance (b) the substance (or other narrowly related it) is consumed to alliviate or to prevent abstinence symptoms (3) the substance frequently is consumed in bigger amounts or by a longer period of what the intended one (4) a persistent desire or efforts badly-succeeded in the direction exists to reduce or to control the use of the substance (5) much time is expense in necessary activities for the attainment of the substance (for former., consultations the medical multiples or to make long trips of automobile), in the use of the substance (for former., to smoke in group) or in the recovery of its effect (6) important social, occupational or recreativas activities are abandoned or reduced in virtue of the use of the substance (7) the use of the substance continues, although the conscience to have a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that tends to be caused or to be exacerbado by the substance (for former., current cocaine use, even so the individual recognizes that its depression is induced for it, or continued alcoholic beverage consumption, even so the individual recognizes that an ulcer got worse for the consumption of the alcohol)

The dependent can until expressing a persistent desire to reduce or to regulate the use of the substance, but reluta always in deciding to leave of time the substance. E frequently already must have had many frustrate attempts to diminish or to interrupt the use. The essential question, in fact, is in the failure of the dependent if to abstain to use the substance, although the evidences of the evil that it comes causing. In general the dependent dedicates to much time getting the substance, using it or recovering of its effect. In some cases of Substance Dependence, virtually all the activities of the person turn around the substance. The social, occupational or recreativas activities can seriously be harmed, abandoning or reducing in virtue of the dependence or sufficiently abusive use of the substance, and the dependent can move away itself from familiar activities in order to use the drug in secret or to pass more time with using friends of the substance. The first experiences with drugs occur, frequently, in the adolescence. Some works, including the World-wide Organization of Saúde (OMS) have evidenced the precocidade of the etária band of the beginning of the use of drugs, generally inside of the adolescence, between 10 and 19 years. Physiological, in the adolescence the rules costumam to be questioned and contested e, joining itself the fact of this being a time of experimentations, appears a bigger risk for the use of illicit drugs, alcohol and tobacco. However, happily, nor all the people who try drugs if become dependents, however, when it occurs, the chemical dependence is a complex illness, of long and nor always efficient treatment. When the causes for the chemical dependence are searched are always finished concluding to be this multidetermining, that is, multifactorial. Associates to the abusive use of drugs and chemical dependence exist some factors strong, as for example, genetic, psychological, familiar and social the factors. In general he seems that these factors do not costumam to act separately and yes in set. Existenciais causes attributed to the use of drugs Here we go to comment some partner-ambient influences in the use of drugs, that is, in the influences of the existential destination of the person on its behavior, thought and feeling. Family – Amongst the innumerable factors associates to the chemical dependence, the family, or, more necessarily, the attitudes of the family with educative intentions seem to be one fortíssimo factor of intervention and influence, mainly in relation to the prevention of the dependence. In this way, the familiar way can be an important element of protection or, in contrast, facilitation of the behaviors of risk, it abuse or of a possible dependence of drugs. According to Pons (1998), the main familiar factors of protection to the use of drugs if find in the established affective bows between its members, in the monitoramento of the activities and friendships of the adolescent, in the construction of scales of ethical values and in the stimulaton for adjusted social behaviors. Rebolledo, Ortega and Pillon (2004, cited for Broeker and Jou, 2007) had analyzed 2,829 students of both the sexos, with ages between 12 and 17 years, by means of the Test Drug Use Screening Inventory. The authors had evidenced that the familiar disfunção and the existence of previous emotional upheaval had been the correlated factors more to the biggest risk for the use of drugs. Some other researchers (Pechansky, Szobot and Scivoletto, equally cited for Broeker and Jou, 2007) had attributed to the absence of the father in the domicile of the adolescent a risk 22 times bigger possibility of the adolescent to be dependent of drugs, when compared with the adolescents who lived with both the parents. Without no doubt it is recognized universally that the paper of the parents and the familiar environment is marcante in the development of the children. The lack of support and familiar structure, as well as the behavior of risk or the use of drugs for the proper parents are facilitadoras attitudes to the use, abuse and dependence of the children. It is given credit, also, to have a relation enters the increase in the consumption of drugs and the changes suffered for the familiar structure in modernity. The entrance of the women for the market of work and, consequently, the proportional absence of its presence in the home without a doubt finished for conferring a new profile to the family. With this it can have had an increasing difficulty in the intensive accompaniment and the education of the children. Consummated this new familiar structure, together with the great increasing e number of conjugal separations, the educative models of the last generations had automatically been made impracticable and new models will have to be applied. As everything what he is new, ahead of the new educational model, where it more participates to each time the institutions and each time less the parents, a great apprehension exists and unreliability on which is, accurately, practical educative the desirable ones. They would be considered practical educative desirable sensitivity for the feelings of the children, the positive envolvement in the activities of the members of the family, the positive control of disciplines acquiring knowledge the objective of the rules and division of the taking of decisions. They would be considered practical educative undesirable the intromission, the control of the behavior through the guilt and of it disciplines through the authority, the avoidance of participation in the decisions. Evidently any researcher of common-sense will understand that the question separate parents or, mother not working outside or not, etc., etc., cannot have an absolute value in the way to act of the children. In medicine the causal relation demands a more multicriteria observance. If the question was so simple thus, all the children created in institutions and orphanages would be chemical dependents, sociopatas, prostitutes, delinquents and so on. Cultural model – Another existencial factor that can contribute for the search for drugs is in the cultural model. The culture, through the strong penetrating media in the thought of the human being contemporary, influences excessively in the elaboration of scales of values. The divulged image of users of drugs as interesting, glamorosas, successful people sexually, famous artists, some times with social and/or economic prominence surely influences in the concepts of certain-wrong of the young in formation. I appeal it to drink is absolutely undeniable in our society occidental person. It is not seen, socially, a person inviting to other “to go back in house to take one chazinho”, or to commemorate some success in a confectionery. Between the young, cause much queerness the person to refuse an alcoholic beverage cup alleging “I simply do not drink”. Possibly its image will be something arranhada, mainly for the opposing sex. Also it is not seen during noitada of entertainment, form some, a young alerting the other on the risks of the chemical dependence. Quite to the contrary; any normative attitude and of aconselhamento in this direction pejorativamente is had as inadequate, retrograde and annoying. Some ídolos of the artistic world died by overdose of some drug finish being until enaltecidos. The films on drugged biographies of great, some with strong sociopáticos traces are several, presenting them as people interessantíssimas, fascinating and meritosas. The value and social merit of the person in the society contemporary seem to be atrelados almost exclusively to its condition of production. The use of drugs can sufficiently be tolerated if the person will be a good pupil, a regular, successful worker economically, at last, will be itself somebody that conventionally is defined as “a success person”. But we do not have to forget that being “a success person” its behavior will serve as model for others as many people, “success not necessarily”. The Person – Now it comes a question capable to ruin any applied conclusive reasoning to the previous ones; the responsibility of the person in its proper destination. If it does not undeserve, of form some, the importance of the family and of the society in the development and the design of the person, however, the part most important of this come-the-being always continues being same it. Together with the investigativas research on the causalidade of the dependence, the research must be emphasized on the personality daily pay-mórbida of the dependent, on its emotional description, its psicopatológicos antecedents, on its genetic nature, at last, the research must the same value the dependent with enthusiasm that values the way. As she recommends well the existencialismo very, didactically displayed in Sartre, in fact the person does not have to be made responsible by what the destination made with it, but is total responsible for what it goes to make with what the destination made with it.

The Chemical Dependence is one of the more common mental upheavals, acometendo the most diverse etárias bands, however, more comumente initiated in the adolescence and youth. To consume drugs is one practical millenarian one and universal and it does not have society that it does not know some type of drug with the most diverse purposes. The adolescence is a stage of the development that excites great concerns how much to the consumption of drugs, mainly on account of the vulnerability to the all type of influence and frustrations. The causes of the dependence pparently are multiple, since genetic, cultural, until existential, the treatment is dificílimo and the damage in the personal life of the dependent is incalculable.

If its son is using drugs

* He looks information and, if possible specialized aid exactly, before talking with its son. It always will have an argument to justify the use, beyond minimizing the problem

* He does not allow that its son smokes house marijuana inside, in order to keep the control. This attitude, beyond forbidden for law, does not diminish the risks

* If its son is arredio and to listen to he does not want, he looks you somebody that it respects, as a relative or friend of the family

* Light – for a psychologist or the specialized psychiatrist. Beyond showing that it is harming the proper life, the therapy can help in the questions had taken that it to search the drug. Important È that the professional has experience in the area

* It participates of directed groups of mutual aid for parents of dependents, despite its son is not in treatment. Changing its behavior, it is possible that its son decides to treat itself

* It places limits in house, as to delegate tasks, to control the money and to impose schedules. While the young has everything what it needs, hardly feels – stimulated to release the drugs

* Either firm and never it comes back behind. To deny aid can be better aid

* It remembers – that, paying debts that its son made with dealers, you it can be giving beginning to a vicious cycle. It does not leave to look to aid when the situation to involve dealers

Alcoholism between the women surpasses the particularitities observed in the mere psychiatric scope. Beyond the recognized characteristics already in this field, it is necessary to recognize the too much areas of impact of the alcohol consumption for the women. The attendance of feminine alcoholism implies the knowledge, amongst other factors, of its repercussions on the gynecological and obstétrica sphere (irregular and/or anovulatórios amenorrhea, cycles and damages for the fetal development), endocrinológica (hiperandrogenismo, increase of abdominal greasy mass and pseudo-Cushing), beyond the diverse controversies attributed to the relations between the consumption of alcohol, osteoporose and therapeutical spare estrogênica.

Drug is all and any substance, natural or synthetic that, introduced in the organism modifies its functions. The natural drugs are gotten through determined plants, of animals and some minerals. Example the caffeine (of the coffee), the nicotine (present in the tobacco), the opium (in papoula) and the THC tetrahidrocanabiol (of marijuana). The synthetic drugs are manufactured in laboratory, demanding for this techniques special. The term drugs, is useful some interpretations to it, but comumente it excites the idea of a forbidden substance, illegal and harmful use to the individual, modifying to it the functions, the sensations, the mood and the behavior. The drugs are classified in three categories: the stimulants, the depressors and the disturbers of the mental activities. The term drug involves the analgesics, stimulants, alucinógenos, tranquilizantes and barbiturates, beyond the volatile alcohol and substances. The psicotrópicas, are the drugs that tropismo has and affects the Central Nervous System, modifying the psychic activities and the behavior. These drugs can be absorbed of some forms: for injection, for inhalation, it saw verbal, intravenosa injection or applied by retal .

It forms less pure of the cocaine, crack has an infinitely bigger power to generate dependence, therefore smoke arrives at the brain with extreme speed and power. To the intense and ephemeral pleasure, it is followed urgency of the repetition. Beyond if becoming target of circulatórias pulmonary illnesses and that can lead to the death, the users if display to the violence and the situations of danger that also can kill it. Poisoning for the metal The user heats the cooling can of inalar crack. Beyond the vapor of the drug, it he inhales the aluminum, that if unfastens with easiness of the warm can. The metal if spreads for the sanguineous chain and provokes damages to the brain, to the pulmões, kidneys and bones. Hunger and sleep The organism starts to function in function of the drug. The dependent almost does not eat or sleeps. A fast process of emagrecimento occurs. The malnutrition cases are common. The dependence also reflects in absence of basic habits of hygiene and cares with the appearance. Pulmões The smoke of crack generates injury in the pulmões, leading the disfunções. As already he has a emagrecimento process, the dependents are vulnerable the illnesses as pneumonia and tuberculosis. Also he has evidences of that crack cause acute respiratory problems, including cough, strong lack of air and pains in the chest Heart The dopamina release makes the user of crack to be more agitated, what it takes the increase of the adrenalin presence in the organism. The consequência is the increase of the cardiac frequency and the arterial pressure. Cardiovascular problems, as infarto, can occur Bones and muscles The chronic use of the drug can lead to the irreversible degeneration of the esqueléticos muscles, call rabdomiólise. Neurological system Oscillations of mood: crack provokes injuries in the brain, causing loss of function of neurons. This results in deficiencies of memory and concentration, oscillations of mood, low limit for frustration and difficulty to have affective relationships. The treatment allows to revert part of the damages, but to the times the picture is irreversible Cognitivo damage: it can be serious and fast. It inside has cases of patients with six months of dependence that presented QI equivalent the 100, of the average. In a remade test one year later, the QI had lowered for 80 Psychiatric illnesses: in reason of the action in the brain, more serious psychiatric pictures also can occur, with psychoses, paranoia, hallucinations and deliriums Sex The sexual desire diminishes. The men have difficulty to obtain erection. He has research that the sexually transmissible illnesses associate the use of crack to the biggest susceptibility, in reason of the promiscuous behavior that the users adopt Death Patients can die of illnesses cardiovascular (spill and infarto) and related to the weakness of the organism (tuberculosis). The death cause most common is the exposition to the violence and the situations of danger, because of the envolvement with dealers, for example.

All time that one vitiated in crack lights its cachimbo signs a new sentence of death. With the power to enslave to the first ones swallowed, the rock to the cocaine base drags the user to the gutter in very little time. The drug, that advances as a plague for the territory gaucho, makes more victims of what any another one because the dependent in a physical and psychological degradation sinks pushes that it to the crime to saciar the devastador vice. The official estimate is of that it has 50 a thousand users of crack in the Rio Grande Do Sul. The data are alarming, but the reality still can be worse, a time that the statistics if bases on people who look aid in whitewashing centers, what she excludes an immense parcel that daily coexists the drug and the traffic. I ruin it social provoked for crack has clear impact in Caxias, to start for the violence. Since that the drug arrived in port in the city, has two decades, the crime indices alone had increased. Until March of this year, the drug already motivated 51% of the 31 murders. – In the fiction for more drug, many users if involve in assaults, roberies, if they become indebted with dealers. They finish paying with the proper death – commission agent Marcelo Grolli says, of 3º Police station (3º DP) of Caxias. Crack, thus called because the rock emits small snaps when burnt, takes fame of being a cheap drug since that its consumption blew up in the Brazilian peripheries, in years 1990. But the low cost of the rock, around R$ 5, is an illusion. In the same way that notice is not had of that has tried crack an only time, a dependent is not pleased with a rock. In the fiction, the user smokes 20, 30 rocks to the day. To defray vice, first if he undoes of what he has, later part for the crime. In the State, the apprehensions of crack if multiply to each year, an indication clearly of that more people are consuming and necessary of money for such. Between January and March, Brigada Militar (BM) of Caxias carried through 52 operations of combat to the traffic and apprehended 697 rocks (264,14 grams), almost the double of the 378 (326,47) collected in the same period of the last year. In 2008, 10,293 rocks (2,6 kilos) had been apprehended. The policy calculates that, in Caxias, it has at least 160 points of sales of crack and other drugs, as marijuana and cocaine, still more consumed of what crack. Passed year, the Civil Policy made responsible 126 people for traffic. Of January the March of 2009, 36 people already had been accused. In the sales points, dealers costumam to accept of everything of the vitiated ones to desperation, of laptops the dolls. – He is common to find all type of material in the traffic points. Any thing serves as exchange currency – Cesar Marobin discloses to lieutenant-colonel Júlio, commander of 12º Battalion of Military Policy (12º BPM), of Caxias. – In a Christmas, my son obtained to change for crack until the Peru of our supper. All night I had that to place the botijão of gas in my room senão my son vendia for rock – de counts to the caxiense Everly Jesus Rodrigues, 45 years, mother of a boy of 18 years dead the shots in consequência of the vice, last month. The drama that crack leads for inside of the families does not appear in the police statisticians, but he is most serious. In the last times, cases of mothers who chain its children in the attempt to contain the vice have appeared with frequency in the press. However, the majority of the families silences, from fear or shame, while money and objects are taken of house. – The user not if penaliza with barbarity that commits, with relatives or strangers, because crack anesthesia the affection – Maria Virginia Agustini says, coordinator of the politics of mental health of the City department of the Health. The capacity of ambulatory institutions of whitewashing and of desintoxicação is a demonstration of this epidemic that reaches hundreds of homes gauchos, rich and poor. In Caxias, 514 people in attendance, only being that 90% are dependents of crack. – The devil invented a hell in the land, this hell is crack – Robert Faleiro standes out, coordinator of the House of San Francisco Ticket. Of the total of users in treatment, 35% will abandon everything in the way it way. Between that to conclude the process, 90% go to fall again into the rock. – Crack provokes many sequelas in the organism and is difficult to obtain some result of long stated period – Cattani Luis discloses to Celso psychiatrist, specialist in chemical dependence. When the subject is crack, does not have reasons for optimism.

The family is basic for the success of the treatment of the chemical dependence. To think that everything will be decided after from an internment or some medical consultations is a trap that not pulp the most sincere attempt of treatment. The dependence is a problem that if it structuralized to the few in the life of the person. Many times, took years to appear. Many things had been affected: the pertaining to school performance, the efficiency in the work, the quality of the relationships, the support of the family, the confidence of the master, the respect of the employees. How to wait, then, that something present in the life of somebody has time and that as many comprometimentos brought it disappear suddenly? Who decides to start a treatment is come across with the symptoms of discomfort of the lack of the drug and, moreover, with a wronged future for the support lack, that the individual lost or left to acquire throughout its history of dependence. Because the family is important for the treatment? All can help: the master, the friends, the neighbors, but the support biggest must come of the family. The possibilities of success of the treatment get worse very when the family is not for close. She sees because the family is so important:

1) The dependent many times does not have the complete notion of the gravity of its state. No matter how hard he desires the treatment, he finds that the things will be more easy of what imagines. On account of this, if he displays the risk situations that can take it in return to the consumption.

2) The dependent feels the necessity of ‘ if testar’ , exposing situations of risk to see if its effort to it the penalty is being valid. The family must help establishing it with the dependent rules that help to move away it from the fallen again one. All the treatment starts with a mapping of the factors and places of fallen again risk of. The family must help the dependent to prevent these places. This does not have to be made in police way. It is not treated to fiscalize. It is treated, yes, to call it the reflection and the responsibility whenever this, without perceiving or if testing to be exposed to the risk of the fallen again one.

3) The dependent feels difficulties in organizing new routines for its life without the drugs. The necessary dependent of drugs of support to surpass the difficulties and to establish a new way of life without drugs. Some factors intervene with this task. The person can be outside of the work market has many years, outdated and without contacts that they provide to it to come back in short term. She can have left school very young e now is little qualified for a good job. She has difficulty in if relating with the people, supporting the frustrations, to know to wait the alias process to take the best attitude. The autocrítica of the dependent for times is hard obtains same. A depressive climate and of failure in air leaves. This can make with that the plans for the treatment are left of side.

4) The family in the treatment sample that the dialogue still exists. The routine of the chemical dependence brings ressentimentos for all. Much dirty clothes go to be washed. However, she is necessary to understand that one is about an illness. At a first moment the motivation of the dependent for the change and the support of the family to keep motivated it is importantíssimos. This demonstrates that the family still is capable of if joining, talking and to decide its problems. When the moment to go tank to arrive it, all will be fortified and the subject will be dealt with more balance and little emotion. What it can confuse the participation of the family?

1) The dependent knows more on drugs of what the family. The family little is informed on the question of the drugs, in special the forbidden drugs (illicit). To little information that the family possesss she comes of the medias and of other people. Generally they are distorted and sensationalist. The subject is dealt with frightful way. The drugs are presented as something demonic. This leaves the parents and children far from an agreement. A war climate is created, everything is very terrible and threatening. The family must inquire itself first! Moreover, she must not have fear to say the dependent that she does not understand of the subject. To affirm something without knows what it is being said, still more increases in the distance and the dialogue possibilities.

2) The family is without knowing which its function. The drugs provoke important changes in the familiar life. Parents are accustomed to be the mentors of the children. Suddenly the children enter in an unknown field. They pass to know that things that the parents the minimum notion does not have. When the dependent is one of the parents, the children sees itself in an equally confused situation: how to intervene with the life of it created that them and it taught as the things would have to be? Without knowing what to make with its authority (shaken), many opt to the authoritarianism. This only leaves the spoiled relationship still more.

3) The family already very had problems before the drug appearing. Families with problems can consist in a factor of risk for the appearance of the abusive consumption of drugs between its members. Not that the desestrutura is the only cause or the cause most important, but can contribute. In this manner, the treatment of the dependence passes for the evaluation of the family and the necessity of its members also to look to orientation and treatment. Studies show that victims of maltreatment, the presence of problematic consumption of drugs between oldest, violence, absence of familiar routine and the difficulty of the parents in placing limits in the children increase the risk of the sprouting of dependence between its members. In this manner, the cure starts to be dependent responsibility not alone, but of they surround whom it.

4) The family blames the dependent or if guilt. To point guilt is to exert a judgment. The verdict of a judgment is a conclusion. It does not need to be interpreted, understood. It must be fulfilled and ready. It does not have more what to make… This is a great error that the family commits. If the parents or the children if blame or blame somebody for what they had made or they left to make in the past finished it possibility to follow ahead. Nobody has guilt of the situation, but all can assume responsibilities to solve the problem! The presence of this spirit on the part of all during of the treatment improves the possibilities of recovery of the dependent. Moreover it is a great chance to cure pains and the ressentimentos that if they had underneath accumulated of the carpet and that now, although voluminous, nobody wants to see.

5) It lacks a neutral figure. For everything what already it was said previously, the analysis of the problem for the family and the dependent meets distorted. Many times parents and children (importing who she is not the dependent) confuse the inability of both in dealing with the problem, with pains and ressentimentos that had rolled in the past. Any family erra, leaves to make or same traumatiza its members. On the other hand also it of the abilities and compensations to minimize or to surpass these losses. This is not a fruitful way. If the colloquy is not more possible, or if it is only possible in this way, is signal that arrived the hour to search a figure neutral. It can be the enabled professional, who will charge itself to give the tone of the treatment and will hear the two sides. Before arriving at the treatment, other important neutral figures can be evoked to facilitate the process: an uncle respected for all, a friend, the leader of the community, the priest, the shepherd, at last people who enjoy of the confidence of all the members of the family. ” To make a mistake, to make a mistake of new, to make a mistake better” The family in the treatment means to search a new link between its members. A new marriage, a new creation of the children, a new image of the father and the mother. The new way to follow is uncertain and therefore subject to errors. Many errors will appear. Impossible not to make a mistake inside of a so complex situation as this. By the way, those do not only commit errors that nothing try… The all instant such errors need to be talked, argued the deep one enter the members the professional team attends that them. To treat the dependent is not summarized to the search for the abstinence. It is also the construction of a new style of life. For the dependent and the family.
