The Most Common Addictive Drugs

Marijuana

• euphoric
• relaxed
• amused
• giggly
• creative
• hungry

Cocaine 

A stimulant drug derived from the coca plant that grows natively in South America, cocaine is illicitly manufactured in either a white powder or rock form (“crack”). Cocaine creates an intense high as it floods the brain with dopamine, the neurotransmitter involved in pleasure. The effects are quick to begin, significant, and short-lived.

Cocaine increases euphoria, excitement, and alertness, and according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), it is highly addictive and may be regularly abused in a “binge” pattern. Binge cocaine use refers to taking doses back to back in order to maintain the “high,” which is often followed by a “crash” that can cause physical and mental fatigue, depression, and severe drug cravings.

 We offer a 300ng/mL cutoff level for all of our test.

Heroin

Heroin is an illegal drug that activates opioid receptors in the brain, serving to block feelings of pain, increase relaxation, and produce a kind of “out-of-body” sensation. It also induces euphoria by creating a backlog of dopamine in the brain.

Due to recent regulations and tighter controls over prescription opioid drugs like oxycodone (OxyContin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), and hydrocodone (Vicodin, Percocet), heroin abuse and addiction are on the rise, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Heroin overdose deaths more than tripled from 2010 to 2014, as more than 10,000 people died as the result of a fatal heroin overdose in 2014.
