Extractions: A Community Reinforcement Approach: Treating Cocaine Addiction Sessions One and Two should take place as soon after the intake meeting as possible. It is essential to complete the assessment/orientation and start treatment while patients are motivated. Therapists should be flexible and willing to schedule these early sessions at any time that is compatible with the patient's schedule. Prior to these two sessions, as with all sessions, therapists should prepare by completing a therapy session checklist. Prior to Session One, therapists should begin to develop a tentative treatment plan (exhibit 12) using the information collected during intake. The final working version of this plan, however, should represent active collaboration between the therapist and patient. It is important that patients be involved in this process and that they agree to the goals and methods. Achieving cocaine abstinence is always the primary focus of the treatment plan. Thus, the plan should target areas for change that are directly related to cocaine use, are likely to decrease cocaine use, or will reduce the probability of relapse. Areas for change typically fall into the following categories: other drug use, vocation, family relations, social relations, and recreational activities. Psychiatric, legal, medical, financial, or housing problems deemed likely to interfere with achieving or maintaining cocaine abstinence should also be considered.

Extractions: How to help teens say "no" to tobacco Lisa M. Schab, L.C.S.W. Studies show people who don't start smoking as teens are unlikely to be smokers when they are adults. Parents can have a significant influence on their children's decisions about tobacco use. Despite laws prohibiting sales of cigarettes to minors, and health warnings and educational programs aimed at young people, many teens smoke. The average age at which kids start smoking is 12½. Teens who smoke say they do so in order to "look cool," "look older and more sophisticated," "keep weight down," or "be different." They also are influenced by other people in their lives who smoke. Ninety percent of kids who smoke say they buy cigarettes at stores that don't enforce the law against selling tobacco to minors. Other teens get them from older siblings, steal them from parents, or have parents who are willing to buy cigarettes for them. According to the American Heart Association, parents can have a significant influence on whether or not their teens start smoking. Here are some specific ways you can help your teens say "no" to tobacco: Express your feelings.

It is now rightly regarded as a major form of dangerous pollution. But the bad effects of smoking don't end there. There is also tertiary smoking, the effect of sharing a living space with people who have been smoking. You don't need to breathe in the smoke to be affected by the stench, the filth, the litter , the sound of hacking coughs and the great globules of spit that smokers leave behind them. They might go outside to do it, but they don't leave it outside. Smokers: who needs 'em? Phrases you never hear: As fragrant as a public telephone As charming as an ashtray.

Extractions: Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of premature disease and death in the United States as well as in Texas. Nationally, tobacco use is related to more than 400,000 deaths each year. While it has been widely known for several decades that smoking causes lung cancer, in 1996 M.D. Anderson Cancer Center researchers established the causation link between a carcinogen found in cigarette smoke and a genetic mutation that can lead to cancer. Tobacco use also has a strong association with many cancers, including cancers of the larynx, esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, and cervix. Spit tobacco, such as chewing tobacco and snuff, causes various forms of oral cancer. The effect that tobacco use has on the cancer mortality rate is staggering. Smoking is responsible for about 87 percent of lung cancer deaths each year. In 1997, approximately 9,400 people in Texas and approximately 140,000 people nationwide died from lung cancer as a result of smoking About one-third of all cancer deaths can be attributed to tobacco use

Extractions: Substance and Alcohol Abuse and Addiction Tobacco use (cigarettes, cigars, snuff, chewing tobacco, and other tobacco products) is documented as the leading preventable cause of death and illness in our nation. The number of deaths (more than 400,000 annually) caused by tobacco use is greater than the combined number of deaths due to AIDS, alcohol, automobile accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires. Nicotine, a key ingredient in tobacco products, is an addictive drug. Tobacco use by and around children and adolescents is of particular concern due to increased risk for addiction and passive exposure. Smoking is a known cause of cancer, heart disease, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Special dangers exist for specific subpopulations of smokers such as pregnant women who suffer higher rates of spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, premature births and low birth weight babies.

Extractions: [ advanced search ] Mental Health Jobs Uk As a mental health nurse you are likely to be dealing with people of all ages and from a wide range of backgrounds. As your career develops you may choose to specialise in areas such as drugs and alcohol misuse or working with offenders. You could also become involved in education, research, or management roles. The key challenge for you as a mental health nurse is to use your specialist skills, and personal strengths, to help people come to terms with their problems. The important factors in this therapeutic relationship are the ability to listen and draw information out, and then to help people find means of coping with their problems. Involving family, friends and other contacts will often be part of your role. Another challenge is to identify if and when a person may be at risk of harming themselves or others; so one of the skills you'll learn is spotting the build-up of tension and ways of defusing it. Mental health nurses are also the most likely to be responsible for co-ordinating a patient's care in the community. You'll therefore find yourself liaising professionally with a wide range of other services including social workers, police, charities, local government and housing officials.

Extractions: Flu and influenza are common illnesses experienced by many. Even so, influenza pandemics can change a culture and make an imprint on history. Often the origin of influenza pandemics takes months, and sometimes years, to determine. Sometimes the cause is never identified. Students can explore how some of the world's most famous pandemic outbreaks such as the 1918 influenza outbreak in the United States, the Hong Kong flu, the Asian Flu of 1957, the 1976 Swine Flu, and the 1997 Avian Flu have changed history. Compare how each country dealt with the outbreak, how the outbreak affected the populations, and the various modes of treatment and causes of disease. After compiling their research, students may write a newspaper article reporting on a famous epidemic through the eyes of someone who may have lived through the time of crisis. Students can also write a position paper as an expert preparing for a panel discussion on the prevention of future epidemic outbreaks. Online Resources

Extractions: [650, p. 123] Not all tobacco-control measures have equal impact. But they can all have some impact. Which are likely to be the most effective? As a rule of thumb, the greater the potential effectiveness, the greater the industry opposition will be. Of the items that governments have considered so far, the industry has most strongly opposed high taxes, a total ban on advertising and sponsorship, prominent warnings, plain packaging, and ETS restrictions. Where do we go from here? As a start, the Government of Canada should be given complete regulatory authority to control all aspects of the growing of tobacco and the manufacture, importation, advertising, promotion, and sale of tobacco products, other nicotine-delivery devices, and tobacco supplies, such as rolling papers. In this way, the government would have the authority to adopt regulations without the delays that come with introducing legislative amendments in Parliament. An efficient and flexible regulatory process is essential for addressing an epidemic.
