Inhalant Addiction Intervention Information
Inhalants
From the perceived
benign use of whipping cream canisters, to the obvious stupidity
of inhaling automotive exhaust, there is no such thing as a safe
volatile substance. The psychoactive effects of inhalants are
inseparable from nerve and organ damage, however, most at risk
are children engaged in simple tasks such as mowing the lawn or
building crafts that require the use of mineral spirits, lacquers,
solvents and/or glue. A great deal of the perceived euphoria is
simply oxygen deprivation, however, the users attention and presence
in the moment is most responsible for the association of any escape
from reality. Frankly, meditation and/or bio-feed back can train
a user to acquire many of the experiences that she desires, without
the introduction of exogenous chemistry. Unfortunately and not
unique to youth, many of us identify exclusively with our bodies
and personify physical experiences as “real” as opposed
to neutral sensory information. Inhalants are a threat to the
safety and healthy development of our children. Parents and teachers
should be particularly mindful of the risks that are present within
their control.
Inhalant Abuse
Abuse of inhalants specifically means
the self-inflicted maltreatment, injury, or damage to ones person
with inhalants. This includes the physical body of the addict
and the social and/or financial harm that will affect this same
“natural person” within society. It includes the family,
friends, coworkers and congregation members who are likely victims
and/or enablers of the addict’s abusive behavior.
Inhalant Addiction and Dependency
Beyond abuse; Addiction and dependency
are a potential mix of the physiological need for inhalants and
psychological or behavioral need for self-medication with inhalants.
Ultimately the addict has to desire to be free of her drive for
the drug and/or its effects. Unfortunately, a great deal of damage,
if not death is far more likely than an addict seeking treatment
on their own.
