Drug Addictions: The Drug Class System

Drug addictions are all different and will vary wildly from person to person. However, in order to separate the narcotic drugs themselves into easy to understand categories, though, scientists have managed to list them into classes, each of which represents how lethal or dangerous the drugs are known to be.

 

The class structure for drugs goes as follows:

Class A Drugs – This is the most notorious drug classification. The hardest, biggest, nastiest drug addictions are to Class A substances. They also carry the lengthiest jail sentences for dealing or supplying and bring users the biggest trouble if you get caught with them.

Class A’s include things like heroin, crack cocaine (and all other kinds of cocaine, crack is just the most addictive), MDMA and Ecstasy, LSD (also known as acid) and magic mushrooms. Of these, only Magic Mushrooms are found in nature. The others are lab-made.

Class B Drugs – This band of drugs are considered to be dangerous and addictive, if not likely to kill you all at once. On the other hand, Class B Drugs are still extremely dangerous and shouldn’t be messed with. You will notice that some of the drugs in Class B are actually prescription drugs. Codeine is a great example of how prescription drug addiction can be just as lethal as illegal ones.

Some of the Class B Drugs you can expect to have heard of before are amphetamines, mephedrone, cannabis – and now also includes Spice, the synthetic cannabis that is a whole lot worse than the original. The media frequently report on Spice zombies, referring to the way it makes you blank.

 Class C Drugs – this category of drug is considered to be the least dangerous. That doesn’t mean we can all run out and start taking them – especially not if we are addicts – it just means that they aren’t as likely to kill you. They do still have some harmful side effects.

Class C Drugs include things like horse tranquilizers (which people take to terrible detriment to their health), GHB/GBL, Ketamine, Steroids and BZP.

If you think you may be enduring a drug addiction, or if you suspect rehab or intervention would prevent a small issue turning into a massive addiction, then we are here. Contact us today on 0203 955 7700, online, or even see our article on drug addiction to learn more.

 

The Effect of Class on Drug Rehab in Nottinghamshire

It doesn’t matter what class the drug is if you need to overcome addiction from it. The battle will be tough, no matter what substance you misused. There are different price points in rehab, but all clinics will offer full support. Generally speaking, private rehab will make you the most comfortable of all the rehab clinic types. There are several ways to overcome addiction, as long as you are determined – you can do it, too.

Although class of drug has no affect on whether or not it is addictive, it does affect the detoxification process.

 

Going Through Detox for Drugs and Alcohol

When you stop drinking or stop taking drugs the chemicals will take a few days to leave your body. Normally, your body is used to you replacing the toxins, so when you don’t, it will exhibit physical symptoms that can feel a lot like real pains. You might have an upset stomach, sickness, nausea, headaches, aches, and pains – or a myriad of other adverse physical problems.

The extent to which this goes on for, and to what length of time it takes to recover from addiction in Nottinghamshire, are dependent on how long you were addicted, and to what. If you want to detox from alcohol you will likely be sick for a week or two, the detox period itself lasting around 3 days. If you want to stop taking heroin, however, you can expect detox to be horrendous. Your body will demand the chemicals, possibly providing you with hallucinations, sickness, and horrible side effects that you will feel you cannot endure.

It is at this stage when it is most important for you to hang on in there. If you can get through this period your life will drastically improve, every day from then on. Instead of chasing your regular high or drink, stop. Give it up. Seek help for drug addiction or rehab clinics for alcoholism in your area. With the right support network and enough determination, you can quit drinking, for good, forever.

 

Is Alcohol Addiction A Big Problem In Nottinghamshire?

The short answer is yes. The government and county council are so concerned about the drug and alcohol use statistics in Nottinghamshire that they have set up specific pages aimed at providing rudimentary help and support. This isn’t really enough to make a dent in the more than five thousand English citizens who die every year from alcohol related diseases. With more than a third of all English men admittedly binge drinkers that regularly go over the limits – it’s fairly safe to say that Nottinghamshire doesn’t come out unscathed by all of this. You can read the NHS Digital statistics if you want some shocking reading.
