  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
  • Research indicates women tend to start abusing alcohol later in life than men, but usually get help sooner than men.

DUI/DWI Offenders - Big Lake, AK.

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are serious offenses not to be taken lightly. While each state has its own way of handling DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the severity of the driver's intoxication and how strict the state laws are, they may have to serve time in jail for their offense. Once this is accomplished they will probably have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to aid 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 determine a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
