Drug dependence

Introduction Drug users are prone to dependence on drugs. The most important feature of dependent behavior is the craving for medication, which runs through the entire addiction process, with characteristic withdrawal syndrome, recurrence, tolerance, and sensitivity. There is a morphine-like substance in the human brain that maintains the normal physiological activities of the human body. Once the outside world has also stopped supplying morphin peptides, the human physiological activity has become disordered, and there is a medically known "rebound" or "withdrawal symptoms."

Cause

The first is the physiological factor. There is a morphine-like substance in the human brain that maintains the normal physiological activities of the human body. Drug addicts have absorbed heroin and foreign morphine-like peptide substances into the human body, reduced and inhibited the secretion of their own morphin peptides, and finally reached the external morphine-like substance to maintain the physiological activities of the human body, and its own morphin-like peptide substance completely stopped. secretion. Then, once the outside world has stopped supplying morphin-peptide substances, human physiological activities will be disordered, and there will be medically known "rebound" or "withdrawal symptoms". At this time, only the supply of morphine substances can be lifted. These withdrawal symptoms, this is called "addictive."

The second is social factors. Including whether the social environment can obtain drugs, the impact of social unrest on people, the socio-cultural background determines who is easy to become a drug prisoner, the attitude of social law towards drugs, and so on.

The third is the psychological factors of the individual. The results of the study tend to be considered to be impulsive among people with different personalities, to be resistant to social norms, and to the three types of people with frustration and tolerance, with a relatively high risk of high drug addiction. Susceptibility. Heroin drugs have pharmacological characteristics of comfort and euphoria. The use of heroin drugs initially has a strong sense of euphoria. Practice has shown that most addicts have a feeling of being sleepy and very uncomfortable after the first drug use, and they are eager for the second drug use, which leads to addiction. Because people have adapted to drugs, they have a physiological and psychological dependence. Therefore, there are a lot of examples of the addiction of heroin. It is very wrong and very dangerous to think that it is indifferent to take heroin occasionally.

This product is used to qualitatively detect morphine in human urine.

2. Ice test kit

The use of this product to detect urine positive indicates that the drug is administered or injected with ice or ecstasy, so the product is suitable for drug abuse detection.

Differential diagnosis
