Facts
- Out of the nearly 2 million substance abuse treatment admissions reported to State administrative data systems in 2008, heroin and other opiates made up the largest percentage of drug-related admissions (20.0 percent).
- Recent research suggests that long-term exposure to marijuana products with high potency levels increases the risk of psychotic disorders.
- Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
- Males are more prone to abuse of benzodiazepines such as Valium than females.
DUI/DWI Offenders - WaverlyDrinking 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 severity of the driver's intoxication and how strict the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is accomplished 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 counseling hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
