Facts
- 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.
- Serious medical or mental illness as well as criminal involvement may increase the likelihood of individuals prematurely leaving drug rehab, in which case intensive interventions may be required to retain them.
- Medical and professional drug treatment counselors should be on hand through withdrawal to monitor the physical condition of the individual throughout the detoxification procedure.
- Students who use Adderall non-medically also commonly take central nervous system depressants such as pain relievers or tranquilizers, which puts them at even higher risk of dependence or abuse, to counteract the stimulant effects of the drug.
Walton, WV. - DUI/DWI OffendersDrinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are severe offenses not to be taken lightly. While each state has its own way of dealing with DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the severity of the driver's intoxication and how stringent the state laws are, they may have to serve time in jail for their offense. Once this is completed they will probably have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to go through counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Usually these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either a substance abuse counselor or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will define a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
