Facts

  • The criminal justice system refers drug offenders into drug treatment in a variety of ways, including diverting nonviolent offenders to treatment; stipulating treatment as a condition of incarceration, probation, or pretrial release; and holding specialized courts, or drug courts that handle drug offenders.
  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Use of Valium can become addictive because the individual can begin to rely too much on the drug for its effects, which produces an almost immediate calming effect throughout the body and mind.
  • Some high school and college students in the U.S. misuse prescription stimulants to improve academic performance, a practice commonly known as academic doping.
