Facts
- Studies indicate that Hispanics have either similar or lower mortality rates compared with Whites for alcohol-related death such as alcohol dependence syndrome and alcoholic hepatitis.
- Taking only a small dose of LSD may not reduce the possibility of an individual having a negative reaction or bad trip
- Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistently heavy drinkers. Since their bodies have adapted to the presence of alcohol, they suffer alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking.
- Many of the individuals that have used Xanax for medicinal purposes or recreational purposes (non-medically) have described feeling a sense of confusion and memory loss, and a "floating" or disconnected feeling after taking the drug.
Women - CharlestonDrug treatment centers for women provide a very good way for female substance abusers to address their addiction issues in an all-female environment. There are many benefits to attending a drug or alcohol rehab center for women including the fact that such programs cater to issues specific to their female clients. While receiving treatment in an all women drug rehab the client will also work on personal issues such as problems with their husbands, boyfriends and/or men in general. Most women drug addicts struggle with physical or sexual abuse from their past. Addressing these sensitive issues while in treatment will give the recovering woman the capacity to confront her problems in a setting that is supportive and free from judgment.
