She is very accepting about her problem, but stated that she is having a hard time remaining sober due to the environment and friends she has. When she arrived to the clinic she was dressed very sloppy with an unpleasant order. She appeared to be under the influence of alcohol at this present time. Miss.

Substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by the substance.

“Drink spiking occurs when a person deliberately adds alcohol or another drug to a drink without the knowledge of the person who will be drinking it. This means the person could become intoxicated unexpectedly. Drinks are spiked for a number of reasons. These include amusement or to facilitate sexual assault, rape or theft”(Lievore). The couple was facing an eviction from their landlord regarding loud noises and chaos caused on a weekend night. The couple had no idea about the scene they caused and woke up to a complete blur. “I had bruises and cuts on my body. Everything was upside down, clothes were outside of cupboards, pictures had been thrown on the floor.” The fiancé who experienced identical memory gaps, was asked by his landlord to leave the apartment because of what he feared to assume was a domestic violence case. “Sexual assault is also commonly linked with drink spiking. Estimates suggest that one-third of drink spiking incidents are associated with a sexual attack”(Lievore). This couple was at a local bar on the Gold Coast called Waxy’s. They believed that their drinks were spiked and took tests to find out for sure. The blood tests confirmed that they had been drugged and showed that they both tested positive to methamphetamine and tranquillizer benzodiazepines. The landlord then let the couple stay trusting that something like this would not happen again. Chances are the couple was drugged to either sexually assault the female, or to violently assault the male. Crime is evidently a problem on the Gold Coast. “About a week before this incident the Gold Coast paramedics were called to a large spate of drug overdoses and incidents involving 21 people who had taken synthetic hallucinogen called N-Bomb” (Womens weekly). The Gold Coast most categorically faces a problem with crime. “Schoolies” was approaching,

Ms. Latisha admitted using methamphetamine months ago to stay awake and remain vigilant as she felt the need to protect herself.

Substance abuse is one of the most difficult and intractable of mental illnesses to treat because it possesses both a physical and a mental component. The substances Lisa is currently abusing change her physical chemistry and cause withdrawal symptoms when they are not present in her body. Over time, they also change the way her brain experiences pleasure and pain.

Emotional trauma can cause a dependency on a narcotic. Few cannot handle the burden of depression, anxiety, loneliness, or even their own conscious. So they develop a physical dependency to cope with each passing day. In J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield struggles with day to day activities. He is kicked out of Pency Prep and is grateful for it because Pency was just another place full of phonies. Stradlater, Ackley, Mr. Spencer, all of them are phonies and it just leaves a bitter impression on Holden. He leaves Pency three days before Christmas break, after getting in a fight with Stradlater and wanders around New York City, without mentioning to his parents about his expulsion. During his escapades, Holden drinks, flirts with older women, invites a prostitute into his room, only to feel depressed and kick her out, mugged, and smokes cartons of cigarettes in

Dr. Anna Rose Childress performed a simple experiment with Coleman. While scanning his brain, Childress showed Coleman videos of nature and of drug use. Even after a period of “clean time,” the brains of must addicts reacted to the images of drug use. However, Coleman’s brain showed no difference. This may be a result of the Baclofen impacting his cravings, or it may be exchanging one addiction for another.
