According to figures released by the Corporation Esperanza in Chile has been a steady increase of drug use in women during the last decade, a reality that in the words of the president of the organization, Ana Luisa Jouanne, requires new strategies to prevent and rehabilitate those suffering from this health problem, but unfortunately “no concern”. From the regional directorate of the National Service for Prevention and Rehabilitation of Drug and Alcohol (Path), O’Higgins confirmed that the waiting list in case of women is 500 thousand people.

Ana Luisa said the rehabilitation center to be installed in the VillaTriana-up to 12 people, of Rancagua points in that direction, since it is a boarding school that will help solve a problem that is very clear in the Liberator. He explained that “when women consumed the result is much more serious from the social point,” noting that they “are much more discrimination than men and do not dare to ask for help. This is to prevent for example, have removed their children. Besides the social stigma is too great. “

One of the great social dramas in the country is when it is mothers who consume alcohol or drugs, a problem that is socially and cross not only affects the lower social strata. “So one of the aspects that interest me the rehab center you want to install in Rancagua is the ability to treat women who are pregnant, give them a chance. People do not know that this baby will be born with a number of problems the country is unlikely to face, “he said.

He added that “our intention is to remove the drug in time so you can stay with your child and it has the attachment and affection that can deliver a healthy mother.” He argued that “from the perspective of the child is an injustice not to take on this problem.”

The annual treatment for each patient who enters a rehabilitation center for the Corporation Esperanzaes 4.2 million pesos, and its goal is to reorient and retrain people to reintegrate into society. Note that the installation of the center is being strongly opposed by neighbors dela VillaTriana to have raised their protest to local authorities.

The Trail regional coordinator, Johanna Olivares, said in a previous interview that, “In the Regióntenemos a need to serve the population with drug problems quite important.” He explained that in The Liberator serves nearly six thousand people in various rehabilitation centers, and there “a large waiting list, which in the case of women reaches 500 thousand people.” He added that to achieve “that adds an instance of treatment will directly benefit the needs of the region.”

To find a family counselor who knows the subject of drug abuse in adolescence, parents or those who lend their aid, they should seek drug rehabilitation centers, counseling, in itself, can serve different proposals help:

• To facilitate regular meetings where family members can speak in complete safety because the psychologist is there to help them manage communication, bring order to the confusion, mediate conflicts, monitor agreements and anticipate problems that even the changes helpful may create.

• To support parents to adopt healthy attitudes with a child who has too much personal power within the family and to support a child who has legitimate concerns to express to parents who ignore or not give credit.

• To enter external resources in the family when necessary, for example to a hospital or a legal warning.

The roles of drug rehabilitation centers
The main function of these centers psychologist specialist drug rehabilitation is to help parents to redefine their role with the child in a healthy way. Why is this necessary? Because when a child is abusing substances and confusion comes to appear in family life, it is foreseeable that, in some degree, there is a change of roles is negative. Instead of the child adjust to the demands of your system healthy family is the family system which tends to adapt to unsafe operation of the child. Instead of parents to initiate and implement constructive terms within which assumes that the child will live, the situation becomes increasingly reactive and are the parents who fit the terms proposed by the child’s destructive.

At this point, the drug rehab centers in addition to rehabilitating the addict can help restore a constructive parenting guy around substance abuser. Why is this important? Because it is very difficult for a boy or a girl who behaves in a manner to achieve health in an unhealthy family system model which reinforces their own unhealthy behaviors. When parents are helping to replace this confusing, inconsistent and permissive behavior, with strong and constructive attitudes, the child is distressed with a set of rules and expectations healthy from which to choose to live.

The infant mortality rate in Argentina (2005) is 13, 3 per thousand live births, with 57.5% and 55.9% of deaths reducible, neonatal and postneonatal, respectively. Mortality in children under 5 years is 15.5 per thousand. Most causes of morbidity and mortality in children are susceptible to primary and secondary prevention.

Adolescence is a critical stage with lower mortality rates, but in no way can be considered risk free, for the most part associated with their behaviors, habits and living conditions of this stage, reflecting the fact that accidents and other violent causes are major causes of death.
The health, growth and development of children and adolescents should be monitored and supervised regularly. Therefore, from SUTEBA we have developed a series of notes of prevention and health promotion, divided into stages of growth and areas:

newborn, 1 to 3 years, 4 to 6, from 7 to 9 and adolescence, where you can find information about the characteristic behaviors of each, food recommended, prevention of accidents and diseases, etc..

Remember that the notes can be printed, allowing them to work them in classrooms with students and outreach to the families and wider community.

In all health centers we SUTEBA Care Program for Children and Adolescents, for the comprehensive care of children and adolescents in the community. It is divided into two sub-programs: Children from 0 to 9 years old and adolescents 10 to 18 years, these groups seek to promote a state of health that will permit optimal growth and development, contributing to the achievement of a family, school and adequate social.

We are facing a new dimension of drugs, and-drugs are expanding like wildfire in the cyber world. They are designed to recreate dose auditory sensations in the brain and mimic the effects of traditional drugs. But are they harmful? What are the effects? The debate is open.

It all started in March 2010 when the director of the Oklahoma Mustang High School reported a group of parents who had found their children in a room getting high with monotonous noise, as published by the Oklahoma NewsOK online newspaper.

This fact initiated a series of debates in the media and the Red.La controversy is not over yet and has even become more visible the existence of this option, favoring its use. Then, Nick Ashton, a specialist in psychology, audio and music, created I-Doser, a program that has already swept across the United States, Brazil, Mexico and France and is now becoming known in Spain. This is a simulator that allows consuming drugs without doing it and, according to its creator, is effective and safe. During 10 years of research the project was based on binaural beats. Signals of different frequencies, on being introduced one at each ear are processed by the brain so that it integrates the perception of the two signals producing the sensation of a third frequency, this being the binaural wave. A risky and controversial project that has raised debates and opinions for everyone. In social networks and sounds of this new concept. ‘Digital Drugs’ and there are many questions around them: What are they? Do they work? Are they dangerous? ¿Addictive? The term is so widespread that this new auditory stimulation already has over two million downloads of those doses that evoke the effects of heroin, strong coffee and even an orgasm. More than you can imagine. What the experts think?

There are several investigations associated with changes in consciousness by the use of such tones, according to the Research Center Neuroacústica. In 1995, U.S. scientists Owens and Atwater noted that “the subjective effect of listening to binaural sounds can be relaxing or stimulating, depending on the frequency of the tone. ” While it is known the effect of some sounds, rhythms and melodies that make certain states of consciousness, because music has always created sensations. However, some neurologists as Steve Novella and Carlos Tejero Juste have a very clear opinion about this new type of digital drugs and sentenced to bin aural sounds have no effect, is suggestion. Meanwhile, the I-Doser site promises a safe and effective method to achieve a simulated mood countless doses: peyote, cocaine, heroin, Minetta, morphine, anesthesia, hash and alcohol. The power of suggestion on the Internet there are comments disappointing experiences. And, apparently, not all people react the same to the bin aural beats. The effects of i-doses have on people can be divided into three categories: a group that gets the desired effect, one that is immune and a third that just gets severe headaches. For now, due to the widespread use, the Foundation for the Study, Prevention and Assistance to Drug Addiction research on the effectiveness of these digital drugs. For some bin aural tones are very effective and safe. While others say it’s simple suggestion and question about possible negative effects such as those drugs. The debate continues.
