Facts
- New heroin users are often under the false impression that snorting or smoking heroin will not lead to addiction.
- Out of the nearly 2 million substance abuse treatment admissions reported to State administrative data systems in 2008, most (41.4 percent) involved alcohol abuse.
- Women and low-body-weight males have a lesser capacity to break alcohol down in the same amount of time as a heavier male or female, resulting in higher blood alcohol concentration.
- Studies of young and adolescent users of Ecstasy found that 43 percent were classified as dependant to the drug, as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance.
Other Languages - Queen CreekWhile trying to find a drug rehab to attend can seem to be an overwhelming task, finding one that offers services for other languages is an added challenge. However, today many programs employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have identified a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood of delivering their services other languages during treatment. Even though they may not initially have the capability to offer their services in other languages they may perhaps be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Frequently the facility will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
