Facts

  • Many individuals consume alcohol initially to use alcohol as a stimulant, although alcohol is actually a depressant.
  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Xanax produces a depressant effect on areas of the brain that impacts alertness, very similar to the effect that alcohol and sedatives create.
  • Nonstudent, nonmilitary personnel are inclined to continue their alcohol abuse into adulthood, as these individuals do not have access to institutionally based programs that typically serve college students and military personnel.

When you choose to reside at a halfway house (also known as sober living or recovery house) you will be required to maintain your sobriety. It is common that there will be additional rules and guidelines that you will need to adhere to in order to maintain your residence at the halfway house.
