Chemical Dependency

Schools, communities, and families can break the cycle and help students develop their spirit, purpose, and potential when:

  • The education community and societal groups do not view drug-free school programs in isolation.
  • Schools have an environment in which students are expected to include everyone in activities and projects.
  • The educational community assesses and evaluates existing programs.
  • Educators place personal, social, emotional, and behavioral development at the heart of drug-free school programs.

Overview of the System Chemical Dependency Formula

  • Comprehensive School Counseling Program System – Program Components Are Interrelated and Interactive
  • Guidance System is the Foundation of the School Counseling Program

Life Lab

A way of defining the classroom as a simulation in which students, pre-K-12 and beyond, learn, experience, and apply the essential skills needed for life; the comprehensive developmental guidance system creates a life lab in every classroom through which students develop a conscious and intentional frame of reference that can be applied throughout life.

Heroin Defined

Heroin: A substance derived from the plant, poppy flower. Found in most regions of the world, and created in Southeast and Southwest Asia, Central America and the Mideast.

Heroin comes in two forms, tar and china. Tar is usually made in Mexico, while the china (hence, “fine china”) comes from the other sections of the world in many colors, shades, and cuts.

There are many ways to use heroin, including intravenously- with a needle, smoking, using foil; “chasing the dragon”, and snorting the substance.

Many users each year overdose and die, relapse, get arrested, or stay addicted. Heroin is displayed to be a highly fashionable drug, but is not.

Slang terms for heroin are: junk, dope, smack, shot, shit, h, etc.

The onset of a heroin “rush” from a needle is about 3-7 seconds, and lasts about 3 seconds. Heroin is horrible and deadly. Believe me, please. I know what I’m saying, don’t think that it’s cool.

Addiction Information

Articles/understanding-addiction: Addiction is a brain disease with some at higher risk – family predisposition is one important factor to teach our communities.

 

Additional Resources for Consideration That May Support Your Enrichment Programs for Students, Staff, and Families

Behavioral Symptoms

Brain Imaging Potential

Recent studies suggest that imaging has the potential to help clinicians determine the most appropriate level of treatment for individual patients and monitor their progress toward recovery. Paulus, Tapert, and Schuckit (2005) performed functional MRI on a group of men entering treatment for methamphetamine addiction while they made decisions during a psychological test.

Effects of Treatment on the Brain

Imaging researchers also have been documenting changes that appear to represent brain recovery in response to treatment. One group has applied MRS to evaluate the effects of methadone maintenance therapy on heroin-addicted individuals (Silveri et al., 2004).

Brain and Behavioral Disorder

Imaging studies, together with other research, overwhelmingly indicate that drug addiction must be viewed as both a disease of changed brain biology and a behavioral disorder. – NCBI Imaging and Addiction Information
