A confused teenager turns to alcohol... a depressed student turns to sedatives... a promising athlete turns to steroids. No matter what the scenario, drugs are a problem for everyone - from the drug abuse to their family and friends. Drug Abuse provides parents, teachers and others with a reference to the most common substances of abuse, from alcohol to zonkers. Inside, you will find full descriptions of each drug, the effects, potential for abuse, addictive properties, treatment and health complications occurring from chronic use and overdose. The book also presents different scenarios illustrating real-life emergencies that show drug dependency, psychological changes and dangerous side effects to help you quickly identify a problem. Use this book to recognize the "signs" based on a person's mood, eyes, nostrils, and skin; to find out if "Acapulco gold" really refers to marijuana or a barbituate; to locate a treatment center in your area; or to discover what pharmaceutical company first created PCP. But most importantly, use this book to help prevent someone you love from illicit drug or alcohol use before it starts.
