Addiction - 3 Different Types of Drugs

Have you ever heard of any drugs before? You likely have. Maybe you’ve seen them on television or in movies. Perhaps you’ve taken drugs yourself at some point in your life. Maybe someone you knew offered you some. No matter how you learned of drugs, you likely have heard of the dangerous consequences of using them too.

Are you struggling with a drug addiction? Perhaps you know someone who is. Drug abuse affects not only the person using it, but also the people around them. It’s important to get professional help for drug use. If you’re struggling with addiction and want to get help, you may want to call someone about addiction treatment in Lexington. Keep reading to learn about three various kinds of drugs.

Cocaine

You’ve likely heard of the drug cocaine before. It is actually known as one of the most addictive drugs on the globe. This substance is a powder. Cocaine can be taken in different ways, such as swallowing it, snorting it, or injecting it. Cocaine can make a person feel a wide range of feelings, such as paranoia, unusually energetic, or even irritability.

Physical symptoms of using cocaine could be appetite loss, dilated pupils, and a quicker heartbeat, among others. Unfortunately, if a person uses cocaine, they could also experience an overdose. Signs of an overdose could include chest pain, confusion, and nausea, along with others as well.

Meth

Meth, or methamphetamine, is also a drug that can be abused. Meth can be snorted, injected, smoked, or snorted. This drug is also known on the streets by names such as speed or crank. Meth attacks the central nervous system in your body. Meth looks like parts of glass, rocks, powder, or a pill too.

Some of the short-term effects of meth are feeling less tired, excessive happiness, and alertness. Other more harmful short-term effects of using the drug include abnormal heartbeat, quicker heart rate, and raised blood pressure. Unfortunately, meth produces long-term effects as well, such as dental problems and losing weight. Some long-term psychological signs of using meth could be paranoia, anxiety, or even delusions.

Heroin

Another drug that you might have heard of is heroin. Heroin is also called brown sugar or smack. This drug looks like powder. It could also look like a tar too. This substance actually originates from a flower, called the opium poppy. This flower usually grows in places such as Asia and Mexico. Heroin is illegal to use in the US, and has been ever since the year 1924. Heroin travels to the brain in a very short amount of time. You can take it in various ways. You can inject it, snort it, or smoke it.

There are some short-term effects of using heroin. These could include itching, dry mouth, and vomiting, among others as well. If you use heroin for a long time, you could also experience symptoms of it. These could include insomnia, skin infections, or even miscarriage, among others. If you stop taking heroin, you could experience withdrawal. These symptoms could be cold flashes, chills, and uncontrollable leg movements, among other things as well.
