Candy Case Study Psychology

I hope you all can agree that a better idea would go after the source of the drugs or even the treatment of the people using them and hopefully in time the number of people using narcotics drops dramatically. But realistically what happens is people using and distributing narcotics are entered into a never ending life of crime because the government punishes the criminal offenders’ absurd amounts that the government knows they cannot afford. So once released from prison or jail these criminals have debts that they have to repay and no way to pay them. So what is the answer? Crime is the answer. That is where the cynical cycle starts all over again and these released inmates find themselves in a familiar situation; trying to make money for reasons that don’t benefit themselves. But, unfortunately, the only way these people know how to make money is deemed deviant by society.

In dealing with the problem of meth addiction, I believe that Oregon has figured out a solution in helping with this issue. In the state of Oregon, Pseudoephedrine is prescription only. Since it has become prescription only, one county which contained sixty four meth labs, now only has one. The crime in this county is down across the board, and the twenty seven percent arrest rate do to meth is now down to 4.6%. In the area that I live in, the police need to make more arrests. Our officers don’t bother due to the overcrowdings, and the fact that they will be released back into society. I do feel that eliminating the access to the medication is not enough. We need to regulate the access to the solvents as well. If we had to sign and or have to show our I.D. every time we purchased solvents such as lighter fluid, ammonia, or propane. I am afraid that even going to this extent will

To begin with , eliminating drug restrictions will massively reduce crime. This is because most of the crime in the world is caused by people having drugs. Recent research shows that nearly half of all 15-16 year olds have used an illegal drug. Many people see illegal drug

We have seen attempts by law enforcement to stop the distribution of drugs. It isn't working. We have seen attempts to punish the users. It isn't working. The answer seems to be that we need to take it to the most basic level, education.

This nation is facing a problem with a powerful stimulant, known as Meth. Meth is a highly addictive drug that is, and a hard to kick. Meth is a huge money making business so the marketing of the drug is not only targeted to adults, but the younger generation as well. Despite the effort with the war on drugs, Law Enforcement is facing a tough battle of controlling the clandestine meth labs, and meth brought to the United States from Mexico. Meth not only hurts the user, but families, and communities as well. Education and awareness to the public can help with the battle on Meth. Although through education, intervention, and rehabilitation there is help to combat meth abuse, meth is a potent dangerous drug that destroys lives,

Why her claim has some credibility to it, a person will still need to attend substance abuse programs and not rely solely on prescription drugs alone. A person will need to continue to go through substance abuse programs, while speaking with a therapist, and a psychiatrist. This will be an ongoing process until the person shows true signs of improvement.

In this video the meth rampage in America is investigated. Frontline shows the effects, impact, difficulties and trouble that make the drug meth so dangerous. The meth epidemic explains some solutions to stopping the problem with meth. They go over the 2 things that were tried to stop the epidemic. The first was to limit the sale of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, which are found in cold medicine. They tried to limit the sale by having people who purchased the cold medicine register at the pharmacy counter as well as show ID. Congress and the White House exempted the cold medicine regulation proposal so that was not successful. The second was to try to regulate the source of ingredients

But the meth makers found a new way to make it which was called shake and bake. They would use a lot less cold medicine pills, so it wouldn’t matter that they put a limit on the amount. Oregon is the state focused on in this video, and the crime committed in this state, was the meth heads doing it. They would steal stuff, take it to a dealer, and they would purchase these stolen goods with meth. They eventually opened more rehabs to help with this epidemic, and it seemed to help a bit. Once they resumed some control over the situation the crime rate went down. It’s also discusses the effects it has on the meth heads children. They often time would help to make the product, feeling high themselves while making it. Once everyone in the house was high, the kids would be sexually abused by everyone in the house. Many of these children removed from these homes where called meth fosters. So then there were many kids without parents because meth stole them from them.

Addiction is a serious problem, especially when it comes to drugs, and can severely impact one's life, which can be seen in these three following stories. First of all, Katrina K. had two addict parents and grew up in a one parent household, where she faced problems such as depression and molesting, which could be escaped through drugs. Next is an anonymous health professional that started his addiction in medical school when his friend offered him stimulants to stay awake to study, which developed into a continued use to keep up with the demanding workload of his practice. Finally, Tracey Helton Mitchell was a good student, but started addiction when she got her wisdom teeth taken out and received opiates, which led to many problems. Each of these previous addicts abused a different drug and started for several reasons.

In today’s society, we are faced with many issues and problem. How we learn to deal and cope with these issues plays a major role in a person life. Ricky is a 37 year old male from Gainville, Ga. I have been working with Ricky to help him deal with his Substance Abuse for about a month now hears at Sunrise. When he was 18 years old, he moved to New York with his uncle to find a job and to go to school to better himself. Sometimes life can throw a curveball at you by the time he was 28 years old, he was hooked on cocaine and had been arrested numerous of time for possession of a controlled substance and assault. His last arrested came a year ago where he plead guilty to possession of a controlled substance and DWI. After, that he moved to

This treatment should help the person by stopping the use drugs, staying drug-free, and being productive in the family, at work, and in society. The addiction is treated with detoxification, behavioral counseling, medication, an evaluation and treatment for co-occurring mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, and a long-term follow-up to prevent relapse. Some drugs can vary in treatment, but all go through a similar process. This article is important for our project because it shows the numerous ways someone can get treatment. According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 22.5 million people (8.5 percent of the U.S. population) aged 12 or older needed treatment for drug or alcohol

Alcohol, tobacco and other drugs are common in America today. The continued use of these substances leads to abuse and addiction. Addiction is the use of harmful yet hazardous substances that lead to dependence and create behavioral and cognitive disturbances with repeated use. When addiction finally sets in, it takes over the person to where they have a persistent strong desire to use and difficulty controlling their intake regardless of the consequences that have or have already occurred. In this paper, I will discuss the different considerations of how Lisa became addicted to drugs, theory model used to assess and create a treatment plan for her addiction.

The way we plan on eliminate the supply of methamphetamine in the US is by Med Code. Med Code is a data base program that tracks every time someone buys any over the counter medicine that has the ingredients of Pseudoephedrine or Ephedrine in it. The reasoning for tracking these to ingredients is because they are two of the most common ingredients used to make meth. How Med Code works is ever store will be equipped with an ID scanner. Every time someone buys any over the counter medicine they will have to get there ID scan. If the medicine they are buying has the ingredients of Pseudoephedrine or Ephedrine in it there name will go into the data base program Med Code and will be logged. This data base program Med Code will flag anyone that has

The “degree of access” is the single most important factor in drug use because the less access people have to drugs, the less opportunities there is for usage (Abadinsky, 2014). If the amount of drugs available were to decrease due to successful law enforcement efforts, which should cause an increase in price of drugs and decrease in quality (Abadinsky, 2014). Once a drug becomes less pure and unaffordable it can turn away buyers because he or she does not want to waste money on a low quality product (Abadinsky, 2014). “The abuser will supposedly switch to a more readily available chemical– perhaps alcohol—or abandon drug use completely” (Abadinsky, 2014, p. 285). That is why the less access one has to drugs is important because it can eliminate
