Facts
- Parents, youth and the general population in the U.S. tend to assume that prescription drugs are less dangerous when abused than illegal drugs due to that fact that they are FDA-approved.
- Most deaths as a result of inhalant abuse are due to repetitive inhalation, which can lead to extremely high concentrations of inhaled fumes, which displaces the available oxygen in the lungs.
- Some methamphetamine addicted individuals "speedball" the drug and combine it with heroin.
- Studies show that an estimated 92% of individuals who use Ecstasy will eventually move on to use other illicit drugs.

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 handling 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 time in jail for their offense. Once this is accomplished they will probably have additional retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to aid in their recovery process. Usually these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either an addiction recovery professional or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will define a set number of counseling hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
