Facts

  • Short-term residential drug rehab was first designed to address alcohol problems, and then transitioned into a multi-faceted program during the cocaine epidemic in the mid-1980s, at which point many began to treat other types of addiction.
  • Nearly 70 percent of State and 57 percent of Federal prisoners have used drugs regularly prior to incarceration.
  • Locations in the Northeast, including Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, and the West including Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington have the lowest rates of perceived risk of occasional use of marijuana (once a month) among persons aged 12 or older.
  • Most individuals with a history of chronic drug addiction are polydrug users (users of more than one drug) and will require drug rehab for all of the substances that they abuse.

DUI/DWI Offenders - Penfield

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 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 most likely 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 aid in their recovery process. Often 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.
