Facts

  • PCP was once an approved for anesthetic in humans but was discontinued in 1965 because individuals who were administered the drug often became agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its anesthetic effects.
  • Relapsing back into drug use after taking part in a drug rehab program is possible, with relapse rates similar to those for other chronic medical illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma that also have both physiological and behavioral components.
  • Misuse and abuse of alcohol is the main cause of 2.3 million years of potential life lost annually, averaging about 30 years of potential life lost for each death.
  • Long term and excessive alcohol consumption causes liver cirrhosis (damage to liver cells); pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas); various cancers, including liver, mouth, throat, larynx (the voice box), and esophagus; high blood pressure; and psychological disorders.

DUI/DWI Offenders - Powhattan

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are serious offenses not to be taken lightly. Although each state has its own way of handling DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the level of the driver's intoxication and how strict the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is completed they will likely have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Usually these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will require a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
