Feeling Normal
1st drug use -- high
After use, person feels lower than normal
The next uses do not produce the same high, so the person must use more drug to get an effect. This is called tolerance
Ultimately, the person needs the drug to feel normal and the pleasure center in the person’s brain is programmed to seek the drug.
HALF-LIFEThe peak of a drug reaction. During the drop-off, an addicted person will crave another dose.

TERMS TO KNOW
Addiction -- A chemical restructuring of brain pathways that makes a person engage in a behavior even when there are negative consequences, and the person has little control over intake.
OTHER TYPES OF TOLERANCE
Cross tolerance: When a person has tolerance to various drugs in the same category (cocaine and meth, for example)
Reverse tolerance: When a user’s body suddenly cannot process the drug anymore. (For example, an alcoholic suddenly has effects from a small amount of alcohol)
EXTRA DANGER = SYNERGYOne drug + another drug does not equal two separate and clear results
One drug + another drug = something entirely new
1 + 1 = 3 (something unpredictable)
What makes drug combinations and designer drugs deadly
Examples: ecstasy & viagra, prescription meds & alcohol
FAMILY IMPACTIntervention: When a group of people affected by a drug user’s behavior gather and explain to the user how they are impacted. Must be conducted with a certified drug counselor.
