The hope is that the more the person is exposed to the trauma the less it will affect them(Comer, R. J., 2011). I personally do not think that exposer will help in severe cases of trauma. Drug therapy can work for those who show signs of depression. For Anissa, drug therapy might help with the feelings of depression.
If the PTSD behaviors of the child seem to be too much for the child to cope and other therapies are not taking effect as needed, medication may be the next resort. Anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications are most common for PSTD (James, 2008). These medications help to calm that child and keep the child in a happy, peaceful state. For John, who chooses not to speak about the events that he witnessed and expresses his traumatic feelings through art and other behaviors, Play Therapy would be the best starting point. John would need a comfortable environment, and a familiar behavioral outlet.
Another way of reducing the potential harm to intravenous drug users is to provide medically controlled drugs as a substitute for street drugs. Drugs such as methadone are less harmful than street heroin, partly because they are free from impurities. An issue with the public health interventions I have discussed is that it may be too early to measure. It is still too early to see the full effect of the smoking ban as it was only introduced fairly recently, which could explain why there have been no significant changes in the number of smokers following the ban. As well as this, harm minimisation programmes are controversial because they appear to condone

Effective drug education is based on the principals of harm minimization and is consistent with the national principles for School Drug Education.
Mitch McNamara 3012456 Engl.102-AS14 Dr. Ford October 18, 2013 Causes of Addictions (revised) In “Embraced by the Needle” writer Gabor Maté in his expository essay argues that in a person’s childhood they need a loving non-stressed environment so they will not need to look to outside sources such as drugs for that warm comforting feeling. These life experiences initiate brain development at an early age by promoting the growth of receptors and nerve cells, which inevitably will make children less susceptible to addictions later in life. Many parents of drug addicts had childhood issues or were emotionally distressed growing up. This likely deemed them unsuitable parents and unable to provide their children with positive warm interactions
low blood pressure for an anti-hypertensive or patient is lethargic and unable to swallow medication, you should be communicating these findings with your physicians to receive further directions. It is also never acceptable to bypass safety protocols because you and your coworkers are busy. These protocols are established to help prevent errors and to avoid harm to your patients. By avoiding them, you are increasing harm and practicing unsafely. The researchers proved their hypothesis which was nurse’s views with medication errors and safe practice.
Education is essential for effective treatment to this population. The goal of Buprenorphine/Naloxone therapy in the treatment of opioid addiction is to prevent withdrawal symptoms and to suppress the cravings for opioids. Beginning in October of 2002, physicians who take a sanctioned course can prescribe Buprenorphine/Naloxone as a sublingual tablet for opioid addiction from a private office rather than a treatment center therefore reducing the social stigma associated with the addict. This increases the accessibility for the patient. As with any addiction, removing the drug and its withdrawal symptoms only treats the physical effects of the disease.
The national government promotes the “Above the Influence” campaign, which researchers have determined that students may get the wrong impression from. They discovered that since the implementation of the campaign, students are more likely to believe that their peers are using drugs, which makes them more likely to experiment with them. (Teen) While this is not the desired outcome of this government based campaign this is the result it is having on some students. To me it seems pointless to spend the government’s money on programs that do not get the intended

Why draw the line here and say, thus far but no further? Are cognitive enhancer’s drugs? In my opinion anything today could be considered a drug if misused. I believe something as simple as drinking too much diet coke is drug abuse, or obesity. As a society we do not consider things such as Tylenol or Aspirin a drug, but if you take too many it might just be your last headache.
