Facts

  • Opiates activate opiate receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain and body which are part of the body's natural reward system and also relieve pain.
  • PCP can sometimes be purchased in powder form wrapped in metallic foil.
  • Studies indicate that stimulation of opiate receptors as a result of opiate use results in feelings of reward, and activation of the pleasure circuit by causing greater amounts of dopamine to be released within the brain.
  • Studies indicate that long-term methamphetamine use may result in extensive damage to the serotonin-containing nerve cells in the body, leading to long-term sleep deprivation.

Stonington, Connecticut - DUI/DWI Offenders

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are serious offenses not to be taken lightly. Although each state has its own way of dealing with DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the level of the driver's intoxication and how stringent the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is completed they will likely have further retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Often these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will require a set number of therapy hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
