5 Controversial Thoughts We Have About Addiction Leave a Comment Posted to Understanding Addiction controversial thoughts about addiction There are many misleading thoughts people have about addiction that create a stigma around the issue Addiction is a highly controversial word that tends to stir up debate ask 10 people their opinion on the matter and youll wind up with 10 contrasting answers But despite differing opinions people are finally talking about addiction instead of keeping it in the shadows Addiction is a major public health crisis and it needs to be talked about The more we discuss it the more awareness we create And the more awareness we create the more likely it is that we can bring an end to this devastating epidemic More people agree that people can be helped before they reach their lowest point As David Sheff writes in his book Clean Overcoming Addiction and Ending Americas Greatest Tragedy Many addicts are alive because their families didnt wait for them to hit bottom And for every person who hit bottom and wound up in treatment many others kept falling further and further downwardFor many theres no bottomits a bottomless pit Addiction afflicts people from all walks of life It doesnt matter where you live what color your skin is what you do for a living or how much money you have or dont have No one is immune from addiction Yes there are homeless drug addicts But there are also suburban soccer moms bankers and lawyers who are drug addicts They took a taste of a mindaltering substanceoftentimes as prescribed by a doctorand their brains sent the message that they must have more So what aspects of addiction are people debating over These 5 are the most controversial thoughts about addiction Is addiction a disease or a choice This is one of the oldest and most controversial arguments surrounding addiction People on the disease side of the argument cite groups like AMA APA and WHO all of which have stated that addiction is a disease ASAM 2011 From their viewpoint people suffering from addiction have a chronic brain disorder drugs change some of the interactions in the brains circuitry which can lead to longterm side effects and harmful selfdestructive behaviors But others say that addiction is a choice because nobody forced the addict to pick up a joint or a needle or a liquor bottle This debate will no doubt continue for a very long time If youre addicted to drugs youre a bad person There are many people who view addiction as a moral failing something that only bad people suffer from They are stuck in a world where addiction is only a problem for lowincome or homeless people with long criminal records But times have changed Should addicts be punished or treated Much of society still wants addicts to be put behind bars because theyve broken the law and thats where they belong But the tide has been turning recently Take the city of Gloucester Massachusetts for example In June of 2015 their police department enlisted a new trailblazing policy any addict who goes to the police station with the remainder of their drugs andor paraphernalia and asks for help will not be charged Instead they will be walked through the system toward detox and recovery The program has been so successful that other cities are now looking to adopt it It is now very clear that incarceration alone is totally ineffective Drug Treatment Courts DTC have been set up in many places under the judicial system to help nonviolent drug offenders Fulton Hora Schma 2009 An addict has to hit rock bottom to get help Rock bottom happens when a person is brought to their knees by the horrible consequences of addiction losing a job a relationship a home getting arrested overdosing or getting into an accident While bottoming out can certainly prompt someone to seek treatment it can also be traumatic or lifethreatening and cause irreparable damage Are sober living homes a good or bad thing Sober living homes have generated controversy for years Some state that the additional traffic and noise that come along with sober living homes disrupt the neighborhood while others have no problem coming right out and saying they dont want those people living near them But proponents of sober living homes will tell you that these residences are absolutely vital to an addicts recovery Barthwell Brown 2009 The rules structure and sense of community they provide to those in recovery are key factors in successfully transitioning from treatment back into mainstream society Without sober living homes to bridge that gap substance Sources

Top 10 Myths and Realities About Drug Addiction Authored By Eric Patterson MSCP NCC LPC Table of Contents Common Myths About Addiction Dangers of Believing the Myths Help for Addiction More than many other topics addiction is surrounded by myths and misinformation Substance abuse is a hugely emotional issue and opinions on the issue vary widely While this is to be expected it is dangerous when opinions on such a lifeimpacting issue are based on information that is less than factual Here we will discuss and dispel some of the most common myths associated with drug abuse and addiction Common Myths About Addiction While its impossible to list every myth associated with substance abuse weve listed 10 of the most common misconceptions about addiction and the facts that dispel these myths 1 of 22 View on SlideShare Myth 1 Addicts Can End Use Whenever They Wish Many people believe that someone suffering from addiction is making the conscious choice to keep using As someone looking in at an addicted person its easy to wonder why that person wont just stop Thoughts like If she loved me shed stop and Hes choosing the drugs over me prevail the thinking of many people who love someone whos addicted Its common to assume that an addicted individual wants to live the life of an addict This misguided view ignores the very definition of addiction The National Institute on Drug Abuse NIDA defines addiction as an enduring condition that triggers the user to compulsively search out and use substances Often this use will continue regardless of the repercussions no matter how unwanted they become People in addiction often experience loss of friends jobs and housing as well as negative physical and mental health effects The power of addiction perpetuates continued use even despite the repercussions Another factor that makes quitting more complex is dependence When someone is dependent on a drug his body begins to require it to feel and function normally If he does attempt to end use he will experience varied levels of physical and mental distress for a period This is known as withdrawal and it can be extremely uncomfortable and even dangerous depending on the drug type Those struggling with addiction often need support and assistance to begin the journey toward sobriety Learn how to help an addict Myth 2 Addiction Is a Moral Failure This myth is tricky because there is some level of truth to it Yes Using a substance is a choice especially at the beginning Unless someone was drugged without their knowledge they willingly choose to use a substance initially This does not mean that they chose addiction and all that comes with it however Some people are able to use a substance multiple times without becoming addicted Others may have used a substance only once when signs of addiction were established Someones potential for addiction is affected by several factors including Genetics Environmental factors Developmental factors such as family upbringing and past trauma Psychological and personality factors such as distress tolerance impulsivity emotion regulation and executive functioning Addiction is marked by observable and predictable changes in the brain This is the basis for the theory that addiction is a disease While substance use is a choice in the beginning addiction is not Brain changes caused by repeated substance use make it extremely difficult to quit using Addicted individuals often make numerous failed attempts to stop and in fact recovery from addiction is often associated with more than one relapse Myth 3 All People that Use Drugs Are Addicted In reality there is much more to addiction than simply using a drug Addiction is observed through a number of signs like A study funded by NIDA found that within 10 years of first using the drug About 15 of people that use cocaine become addicted About 12 of people that use alcohol become addicted 8 of people that use marijuana become addicted Increased conflict and changing relationships Decreased attendance and performance at work or school Changes in sleep and energy levels Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities Lack of money due to spending more on the substance Legal problems associated with continued substance use Numerous failed attempts to stop using Tolerance needing more or higher potency to achieve the desired effect Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using If someone is not exhibiting any of these symptoms it is possible that they are not addicted to the substance Addiction develops at different rates depending on the unique characteristics of the person their reasons for using and their drug of abuse While its easy to call any drug user an addict the reality is that drug use does not necessarily equate to addiction Myth 4 Addicts Are Easy to Identify Myths and stereotypes usually work in combination to spread misinformation The typical stereotype of an addict often includes the following characteristics Low socioeconomic background Unemployed Male Minority Involved with criminal activity Overall many of these stereotypes are unfounded Take the case of heroin use as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC Rates of use among nonHispanic whites nearly double that of all other groups combined Rates of women using have been increasing at rates higher than men People making between 20000 and 49999 are showing rates of use increasing faster than those making less than 20000 The truth is that people addicted to substances exist in every walk of life regardless of gender sexual orientation race ethnicity employment or economic status Addiction is a condition that impacts everyone Myth 5 You Can not Be Addicted to a Prescribed Medication Its common to assume that if your doctor prescribes you a medication it is completely safe and nonaddictive Unfortunately this is not true Many prescribed medications are highly potent and have the potential for abuse and addiction People can abuse and become addicted to a range of medications including Opioids Benzodiazepines Sleep aids Barbiturates Stimulants like ADHD medication Prescription opioids like oxycodone hydrocodone and fentanyl are well known to cause addiction In fact prescription opioid abuse has become a national epidemic in recent years According to the Drug Enforcement Administration DEA about 16 million people reported lifetime oxycodone abuse in 2012 The DEA goes on to state that nearly 26 million people admitted lifetime hydrocodone abuse in 2012 Misusing these drugs taking more than prescribed or taking it via alternate methods like injecting leads to greater chances of addiction Myth 6 If You Can Go to Work You Are Not Really Addicted This myth is one likely perpetuated by the addicts rather than outside observers Denial is a strong force for many addicts Going to work does not disqualify someone from being addicted to a substance In fact many addicts hold down jobs For many work is one of the later aspects of functioning to suffer because of the value they put on their jobs for income and social standing Those who are still able to maintain employment while addicted are often referred to as high functioning addicts This highfunctioning status typically degrades over time however as the addiction progresses Addiction does not look the same in every person and addiction progresses faster in some than others There is no hard and fast rule that determines whether someone is addicted Worried someone you love is addicted Learn the signs and symptoms of drug abuse Myth 7 Only Hard Drugs are Dangerous Drugs like heroin cocaine and methamphetamine have a reputation for being highly addictive powerful and dangerous These hard drugs carry a welldeserved negative connotation because of their perceived risk but these are not the only dangerous drugs Any substance that can lead to addiction and dependence can be dangerous The effects of these substances can impair judgment decrease coordination and bring about unwanted physical and mental health issues Even a substance that has a low risk of addiction can be very problematic depending on the individual and the reasons for use For example alcohol is widely used recreationally and not considered a hard drug however its dangerous nature is easy to track According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism NIAAA About 88000 people die each year in the US from alcoholrelated issues More than 10000 people die each year from driving accidents involving alcohol Alcohol drinking can interfere with normal physical development for children and teens Alcohol is not the only example though According to NIDA marijuana use is related to a number of mental health concerns including Depression Anxiety Psychosis Suicidal thoughts People that use drugs earlier in life are at greater risk of these negative effects of use even though they may not present until later into adulthood Myth 8 There is Nothing Friends or Family Can Do to Help This myth maintains that friends and family members are powerless against the addiction This myth is not only incorrect but it is dangerous since it implies that loved ones and their actions do not factor into someones ability to get recover from addiction Certainly no one can force an addicted person to quit using but luckily there are many methods you can use to improve the situation Conversely there are certain actions that can worsen the situation What to Do The following can help you aid your loved one during the course of addiction Being consistent with rules and expectations Following through with promises and consequences Speaking with optimism and positivity Giving physical and verbal encouragement like a hug or a compliment for a job well done Using assertive communication to find compromise Creating and sticking to strong boundaries Addressing underlying reasons for substance use Gaining education on addiction and the substance of choice Encouraging treatment for your loved one and yourself What Not to Do Factors that can worsen addiction include Being inconsistent with rules and expectations for the addicted person Punishing the person during periods of sobriety Speaking negatively or accusingly which triggers shame and guilt Placing all responsibility on the addict Myth 9 Rehab Doesnt Really Work For so many people residential rehabilitation is a highly effective form of treatment Rehabs help by removing an addicted individual from her current environment in the attempt to focus on treatment for a period that usually lasts between 28 and 90 days During treatment people can receive mental health physical health and addiction support to assist in the present and plan for the future Rehab is not a lifelong cure for addiction though As mentioned addiction is a longterm condition and it is marked by periods of relapse and recovery It is possible for people to continue drug use following treatment just as it is possible for people with diabetes to struggle to maintain their blood sugar The best treatments for substance abuse and addiction are longlasting specialized programs that are readily available and target the whole person rather than the addiction Rehab is an essential part of this longterm care for many people Often a successful plan incorporates rehab outpatient treatment and ongoing aftercare for continued support Myth 10 A Relapse Equals Failure A relapse does not equate to failure It is not a failure of the previous treatment attempts the supports in place for the person or the person In fact viewing this as a failure may breed unwanted emotional responses like Shame Guilt Hopelessness Anxiety Apathy These feelings hurt both the addicted person and those that love him and fuel continued substance use Relapse is a normal part of recovery and it can even be a helpful tool in indicating the need for a modification or reinvestment in treatment It can be a sign that additional types of treatment should be explored and employed Making necessary changes to the treatment plan increases the chances of maintaining future recovery efforts 18887440069 Treatment Advisors Are On Call 247 Who Answers Thinking About Getting Rehab Dangers of Believing the Myths Myths will always exist especially among emotional and confusing

Women More Likely to Get Hooked on Cocaine But Why Leave a Comment Posted to Addiction Research Drug Abuse Drugs and Society Understanding Addiction Why are women more susceptible to cocaine abuse and addiction Women are generally more vulnerable to cocaine addiction than men according to a published in the journal Nature Communications Theyre also more likely to use cocaine at an earlier age take drugs in larger quantities have greater difficulty staying sober and are at an increased risk of relapse But why Well the reason seems to come down to biology A Look at the Biology Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found that hormonal fluctuations in a womans menstrual cycle specifically during the highestrogen phase greatly intensifies the brains dopamine reward pathway enabling the woman to experience an increase in pleasure To arrive at this conclusion Dr Erin Calipari the studys lead author used male and female mice they have the same brain organization and dopamine system as humans to observe how cocaine affects the brains reward pathway What her team found was that the increased estrogen levels in females affected not only the quantity of dopamine released to their brain in response to the cocaine but also how long the dopamine stayed active in their brain cells As a result the pleasurable high cocaine produced was stronger and lasted longer leading the female mice to associate the drug with greater enjoyment and therefore making them more likely to get hooked Should We Adjust Our Treatment Methods Our study will change the way we think about addiction research to emphasize the need to further understand female subjects as most research on addiction has been conducted in male subjects Calipari said in a statement This in turn will affect treatment methods since what could work for males might not be as effective for females We need to consider sex as a variable when talking about addiction treatments and we need to have more specialized treatment for drug abusers because the mechanisms that are driving the addiction are likely different she added Calipari is now expanding her current research to determine whether birth control pills can help female substance abusers since the medication can help stabilize the fluctuations experienced through the female hormonal cycle According to her women have estrogen spikes about 10 days out of the month The question now is about the underlying problem here she said Is it the fact that estrogens are there or not or is it the fact that theyre fluctuating in this cyclical pattern If the latter is the problem we can start to do hormonal replacement therapy and see if that helps Additional Reading Mars vs Venus How Does Gender Affect Prescription Drugs Image Source Shutterstock iStock Addicted Get Help Today Find Treatment Programs To Help Forums Join The Conversation Blog Recent Articles Get Addiction Treatment Find providers in your area GO Categories Blog Mainpage Addiction in the News Addiction Research Alcoholism Detox and Withdrawal Drug Abuse Drugs and Society Drugs and the Law Infographics Prescription Drugs Quizzes Strange Understanding Addiction Substance Abuse Organizations

Adobe Flash and is an swf file Im not too sure about porting to other platforms Petalbook 216 days ago Thank you for answering I have googled and found two resources that may be handy for you httpwwwopenflorg Which has a similar lookfeelfunctionality to the old Flash API httpshaxeorg A very actively developed toolsetAPI that can be used with OpenFlL You can also transfer the project to CC Animate and rewrite the project in Javascript in place of ActionScript Theres also other resources out there for transferring Actionscript to Typescript hairycactus 251 days ago 1 Thanks for the game experience The various scenarios are frustratingly realistic familiar although Im impressed that 371 can get you 3 burgers from a fastfood joint in Montreal I notice that all possible game scenarios seem to lead to the player surviving to see another day Providing 1 or 2 less optimistic outcomes would perhaps more strongly drive home so to speak the harsh reality of homelessness Furthermore it might be worthwhile to provide the option to play as a female instead of male protagonist Besides being more vulnerable to physical harm exploitation homeless girls women also face additional difficulties burdens that help organizations members of the public tend to overlook Reply Ruiting 218 days ago Thank you I fully agree with your feedback this game was done for a school project and barely scratches the surface of the complex issue of homelessness There is certainly a lot more to be said and shown that I will definitely keep in mind if even I revamp the project Personman2 275

Duffy Introduces Bill To Improve Seniors Nursing Care Sep 28 2018 Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday September 28 2018 Mark Bednar 2027380744 Duffy Introduces Bill To Improve Seniors Nursing Care WASHINGTON DC Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing Insurance today introduced legislation to change the mandatory Certified Nurse Assistant CNA training lockout for Skilled Nursing Facilities SNF and instead allow the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to impose a lockout based on a substandard quality of care The legislation will allow quality nursing homes to continue training new qualified nurses while encouraging underperforming nursing homes to quickly come into compliance with the law As more Wisconsinites reach retirement age and live longer lives its more important than ever that Skilled Nursing Facilities are able to educate and sponsor new Certified Nursing Assistants to meet increased labor demands said Congressman Duffy This need is especially important in rural America where SNFs are often major employers Im proud to introduce legislation to eliminate another layer of Washington red tape that prevents Wisconsin seniors from receiving the highest quality of care from welltrained medical professionals Background The CNA training lockout currently impacts more than half of all Skilled Nursing Facilities in Wisconsin while in some states that number is much higher Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services CMS currently enforces a mandatory CNA training lockout for SNFs that are assigned Civil Monetary Penalties CMP exceeding roughly 10000 This lockout is counterintuitive because it limits a SNFs ability to train new qualified staff which can perpetuate a substandard quality of care if facilities are not able to recruit qualified nurses Nursing homes that are compliant with the law should not be forced to sacrifice quality staff because of arbitrary lockouts Click HERE to read the Nursing Home Workforce Quality Act in full WI7

Exporting and Importing Projects in Eclipse by Erich Styger May 18 12 Java Zone Tutorial 0 Comment 0 Save 7767k Download Microservices for Java Developers A handson introduction to frameworks and containers Brought to you in partnership with Red Hat I admit that I have a few or not so few bad habits one of it is that usually I find a way to do things and if that works I stick with it I know that there are other ways to do things but hey why bother And sometimes a good friend asks an excellent question are there any bad questions and this let me review the way Im doing things And here is such a thing exporting and importing projects in Eclipse Archive Files with Drag Drop Here is how I usually move or copy a project to another machine Find the project place on my hard disk An easy way is to select the project folder and use the context menu with Show in Windows Explorer Zip that project into an archive file Delete from that archive file any derived resources see Dissection of MCU10 Projects as well remove all the version control information Copy the archive file into the destination workspace and unzip it there Then dragdrop that folder into Eclipse this will import that project into the workspace Instead of the folder I simply can dragdrop as well the project file Note Best if I dragdrop the project into the CodeWarrior Projects View This will not work if I drop it into the Processor Expert Project Panel view Well that works and I really get used to that process So why bother Because there is actually a better way to Export and Import The Export and Import Way I select one or more project and use the Export context menu or File Export Here I select General Archive File Export Project as Archive File In the ext dialog I can deselect files and folder Additionally I need to specify the archive file I could use Filter Types eg to include c and h but really what I wish is that this dialog would consider the derived flags for files and folder so I could deselect them easier Archive File Settings In the destination workspace I use the menu File Import Import Dialog to Import a Project And here is the stumbling point I do not select Archive File but Existing projects into Workspace Yes I have exported it as Archive File but Importing an Archive File is importing an archive file inside a project not as a project Yes this is a usability quirk in Eclipse In the next dialog I can choose the archive file and make adjustments which project I want to import I note that it will automatically copy the projects into my workspace Import Archive Projects Pressing Finish and my projects get imported Summary Im using combinations of both ways the archive file produced by the Export is not different from an archive file I create with my WinZip archive utility or any other tool like this one For both export ways I need to manually remove what I do not want in the archive file I wish there would be better support for this But for importing projects the Import functionality is really good as it avoids the copyextractdragdrop way I can go through two dialogs and thats it Happy ExportImport PS Thanks to Mark Ruthenbeck having me considering more the ExportImport way Download Building Reactive Microservices in Java Asynchronous and EventBased Application Design Brought to you in partnership with Red Hat Topics eclipse ides 0 Comment 0 Save 7767k Published at DZone with permission of Erich Styger DZone MVB See the original article here Opinions expressed by DZone contributors are their own

Arrow Tuning Tips for the Target Toxophilite by George Tekmitchov Sr EngineerTarget Product Manager The worlds best recurve shooters rely on the bare shaft planing method for tuning purposes for several reasons the most important of which is it works However unsurprisingly the degree to which it works depends heavily upon shooter consistency and the consistency of the test method Following a few basic rules will improve the consistency and predictability of the test while at the same time increase accuracy and repeatability Dont push your limits Restrict your bare shaft tuning to the maximum distance where you can keep most of your shots in the gold For many this is 30M Fortunately 30M is enough to tell you nearly everything you need to know in a basic bare shaft planing test Know where it goes Many top shooters including compound shooters like to know their bare shaft impact positions at various distances This is because they like to shoot a couple of bare shafts as part of the warmup before each scoring session When bare shafts hit in the expected place its a real confidencebuilder But note the next tip Archery is a game of consistency and bare shaft tuning is even more so Dont rely on test results shot in windy or otherwise poor conditions Speaking of consistency theres about a 9 grain difference between a bare shaft and one thats fletched with common 1752 plastic vanes This amount of weight difference on the back of the shaft causes misleading test results because it can affect dynamic spine Always remember to replace removed weight with something that will not affect the aerodynamics of the bare shaft I like to use an equivalent weight of tape on the back of the shaft Bonus tip If youre using Spin Wings simply tape them down along the curl until youre done testing no need to strip them Mix up your shots Dont always shoot the fletched and bare shafts in the same order I frequently see shooters tighten up a bit on that bare shaft tuning shot This can lead to incorrect and erratic results especially when a coach is watching closely Its important to treat it like any other arrow in the quiver Relax and shoot the shot normally Dont shoot just a single bare shaft set up and use at least two of them I like to shoot at least two fletched and two bare shafts at least 24 times when evaluating a setup and more when fine tuning If you have any issues with your shot this number should be extended significantly so you can average out any shooter error If your arrows have wellworn nocks and your bare shafts have allnew nocks you cant expect a completely accurate test result Make sure components match in all possible ways Similarly loose points or nocks can cause arrow flight issues that can lead to inconsistent test results Remember one variable at a time When doing bare shaft testing get the nocking point position worked out before you start playing with other parameters Then only adjust one parameter at a time until you get the desired results Need more details on how to get started with the bare shaft tuning process Weve got you covered Download a free copy of the Easton Tuning Guide Here Previous Post Anniversary of the Greatest Archery Shot in Olympic History Next Post Midseason Target Arrow Maintenance for the Competitive Shooter

Tariffs fall at NTPCs solar auction By Kaavya Chandrasekaran ET Bureau Updated Aug 15 2018 0112 PM IST 0 Comments Tariffs dropped at NTPCs latest auction of 2000 MW of solar projects on Tuesday suggesting that developers have not yet begun factoring in the safeguard duty of 25 imposed on imported solar panels by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies DGTR The winning tariffs were all in the range of Rs 259260 per unit which is lower than the tariffs reached at NTPCs last such auction of 750 MW in May where the lowest were Rs 271272 The winners in Tuesdays auction were Acme Solar Holdings that got 600 MW Shapoorji Pallonji Infrastructure 500 MW Azure Power 300 MW all of them bidding Rs 259 per unit and SB Energy the joint venture of SoftBank Foxconn and Bharti Airtel NSE 285 that won the remaining 600 MW at Rs 260 per unit The DGTR imposed the safeguard duty of 25 for a year from July 30 followed by 20 for the next six months and 15 for another six maintaining it was required to protect the local solar manufacturing industry Over 90 of solar panels and modules used in Indian solar projects are imported mostly from China and Malaysia mainly because locally manufactured equipment can not match their prices However with developer Acme Solar contesting the DGTR decision on safeguard duty in the Odisha high court its imposition has been stayed till the court reaches a decision Developers are being allowed to get their consignments of imported solar panels and modules released by the customs at ports by simply executing a bond for the same They are strongly opposed to safeguard duty since it is bound to raise their input costs and consequently tariffs The winning tariff in NTPCs Tuesday auction is however higher than the tariff of Rs 244 per unit reached at two auctions conducted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India in July and once in May 2017 The rate remains the lowest ever reached In both July auctions the lowest bidder was Acme Solar 0 Comments NTPC Limited Foxconn China SoftBank Group bharti airtel Top Trending Industry Terms Finance Indian Railways Healthcare Auto News Oil price Power Industry FMCG industry Cement Steel Telecom Airlines Banking
