QUESTION 1 : According to the medical examiner,the cause of death is accidental as he took a few

Drugs can result in teens not doing well in school, which can lead to lower academic opportunities and career options.

First of all, there is the Structural-Functional perspective way people view drug addiction as. The structural-functional perspective is the role the drugs do for the person or the weakening of the norms. It is the way they affect the person and what it does to them that makes them be addicted to drugs. For some people drugs relieves them. It takes them away from their problems from a while and they feel stress free and because of that feeling they receive from the drugs they like it and continue to take more and more. Those with this type of perspective well most likely disagree with this view of drug addiction and would want the problem to decrease.

2) Learn coping skills: A client may learn skills that will help them from doing the same thing that contributed to their addiction. They may learn that continuing to attend meetings, meditation, exercising and in some cases medicine may avert them form using drugs again.

There needs to be a drug policy that shows the drug abusers that there is somebody there trying to help them and that there is somebody who cares for their health and well being. Money can be put towards therapeutic and rehabilitation drug treatments instead of towards putting someone through the system and housing them for who knows how long. Also there can be research that goes into finding or creating more safe drugs that are less addictive and harmful yet still give similar if not the same feeling and effects as the original substance that has the potential to harm. Finally we can make drugs acceptable in society so that drug users don't feel shunned, pushed away, and alone and they'll feel like they can go to someone for help so that they can go and go to someone they can trust. In the end you can't help anybody that doesn't want to be helped so when they are ready to be helped they will find it and will accept the

By educating people, particularly young people, about the harmful nature of drug abuse, we can only hope they get the message and simply choose not to become participants. The Best Guard Against Drug Abuse As you can see, how to stop drug abuse is a daunting question. The reality is we can't stop it. What we can do is provide high levels of treatment for the people who get caught in the cycle of addiction.

The reason why most teens are abusing drugs is because they want to experiment and try new things. Also, teenage years are the most difficult because that is the time you want to make new friends and be cool. Teenagers are more susceptible to peer pressure. Another way it relates to psychology is that in certain situations people react differently especially in times of trauma. Some people become depressed which leads them to being addicted to drugs because they want to escape their issues. As you can see addiction of drugs and psychology are very

There is not one treatment intervention that will solve all issues. Therefore, we have to be able to evaluate each situation uniquely. Treatment intervention can involve the use of prescription drugs in order to limit the outcomes of any condition. Good interventions include good monitoring procedures, follow-ups, and support. One treatment that works for an individual may not necessarily work for the next person. The purpose of the intervention is to break a negative cycle that has become destructive to an individual. Most of the individuals that undergo an intervention will begin with a slight condition of denial. The chemical dependency on any type of drug can be detrimental to an individual and his or her family. The situation in case one, dealing with the 18 year old high school student, would be an appropriate person to implement into a treatment intervention because he will need the additional support and medical support in order to overcome his addiction.

The current method for treating drug addiction is failing those addicted. Firstly, it is very difficult and expensive

Substance abuse is an issue many people underestimate. Some are in denial of being an drug or alcohol addict. First things first, one must admit to their issue, in order for them to seek the proper treatment. Once the individual admits to their addiction. Next step is to seek help. Whether it may be from a treatment facility, family based prevention and intervention program, cultural healing, or community and school based program. Regardless of the method they choose. There may be barriers preventing the individual from getting the proper treatment, depending on the treatment plan.

Forensics ruled his cause of death “undetermined” and the only clues to his grisly death were two notes found in the pocket of his filthy jeans.

In order to effectively reduce drug use, a combination of intense enforcement, rehabilitation, and drug education should be used; all three strategies go hand in hand with each other. Drug education programs aim to stop drug use before it even starts by preventing it from ever occurring. It is key to a long term solution of the reduction of future drug users. It works to intervene and redirect early drug users to more positive and healthy activities. Essentially, education programs allow the prevention of first use from becoming regular use.

Her death was proposed to be around 11:00-12:00 when her body was examined by forensic scientists. The blood on the bed and floor beside her did not match her own so it was thought that the blood was from an injury from the murderer. Her cause of death was a Valium overdose, since Valium is so hard to overdose on it was thought that it was injected to the patient including strong alcohol to

Drug use is an increasing problem among teenagers in today's high schools. Most drug use begins in the teenage years, these years are the most crucial in the maturing process. During these years adolescents are faced with the difficult tasks of discovering their self identity, clarifying their sexual roles, assenting independence, learning to cope with authority figures and searching for goals that would give their lives meaning. Drugs are readily available, adolescents are curious and venerable, and there is peer pressure to experiment, and there is a temptation to escape from conflicts. The use of drugs by teenagers is the result of a combination of factors such as peer pressure, curiosity, and

In order to establish if these deaths are medical errors or intentional acts, I feel a detective should respond to a death wherever it occurs. In my department, it is policy that a detective, responds to all death investigations as well as the Forensics Investigative Services Division. This allows the detectives and forensic investigators to examine an undisturbed scene, and document the scene with photographs, while attempting to identify the decedent and determine the time of death (Saferstein, 2015). In the case of Dr. Shipman, he used lethal doses of morphine or heroin to kill his victims, so I believe autopsies and toxicological analysis should be performed after deaths (Saferstein, 2015). If the medical examiner’s office conducted a toxicological analysis on Dr. Shipman’s victims, they would have discovered their manner of death was an intentional overdose (Saferstein, 2015). Subsequently, to ensure these deaths are fully investigated the following procedures are required: a detective, responds to the initial scene, next, at least a clinical autopsy is performed, and a toxicological analysis is completed to conclude that only prescribed substances are present in the

It has been discovered that most people who struggle with drug addiction began experimenting with drugs in their teens. Teenage drug abuse is one of the largest problems in society today and the problem grows and larger every year. Drugs are a pervasive force in our culture today. To expect kids not to be influenced by the culture of their time is as unrealistic as believing in the tooth fairy (Bauman 140). Teens may feel pressured by their friends to try drugs, they may have easy access to drugs, they may use drugs to rebel against their family or society, or they may take an illegal drug because they are curious about it or the pleasure that it gives them.
