Benefits of Going to Inpatient Drug Rehab
Inpatient drug rehab in New Haven CT can help those who are struggling with drug addiction, but don't want to or can't afford to join outpatient rehab programs. A great number of New Haven treatment centers offer both inpatient and outpatient services for those who are struggling with substance abuse problems. However, there are a few substance abuse treatment programs that only accept patients who have their own homes. These types of programs are for people who are extremely dangerous to themselves and those around them, and for whom outpatient treatment is not a viable option due to the serious risk of relapse. The right choice for someone needs to be carefully considered.

Emerging Issues in Drug Abuse
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine have reported that there is a rising concern over the emergence of certain emerging issues in the drug abuse treatment field. These emerging issues include the use of marijuana for recreational purposes, increased use of prescription painkillers, the casual use of some experimental drugs and a rise in the number of people who are using heroin. All these problems come as a result of increasing social complexity and a decline in social control. Most of these issues are difficult to tackle, but it is important for professionals in Inpatient drug rehab in Nashville TN to be aware of them.

Shopping at Costco with a Brain Injury
I wrote this in early 2016, shortly after we moved to our current city. Since then, there have been some interesting developments. After reading about the introduction of ‘reduced stimulation’ store hours for people with autism (which also benefits people with brain injury, post-concussion syndrome and PTSD), I’ve reached out to local and chain retailers to request something similar. Ideas to reduce sensory stimulation include dimming the lighting, turning off the PA system and music, postponing cart collection, and providing extra guidance and assistance both on the floor and at cash.

Opiates - part 2
I been talking for Dolores for a while, when she recalls that she does have a cousin whose son died of an opiate overdose. She thinks it was accidental, not intentional. He was admitted to treatment, he had been in treatment for about 6 or 9 weeks, Dolores was not sure. He came out of treatment and he was living with his parents. Dolores saw him after his sister's wedding. The treatment program did not let him out for the wedding, he arrived later and met the people who were still there. He was doing very well at that time. He had a friend with him from the program. He was getting ready to have a job. Two weeks later they found him dead. He was 25 years old. Dolores feels that he failed to realize that once he was sober, he cannot use as much heroin as he used before. She feels people can be arrogant about this and use the same amount. This was a big tragedy in Dolores's family. Dolores was far away when it happened, she was removed from the tragedy, her cousins were just devastated. One of their children get married and the other died just a few weeks after. Very sad situation. He had been using a long time. He seemed to have other problems too and previous trauma was present for a sexual abuse.

I CRAVE A LITTLE CHANGE.
I always craved for something new each time I woke up early in the morning but each day I got more disappointed with the same routine of work each and every day I woke up. My mom woke up this morning and asked me what plans I had for today and with a heavy sigh I said the same old thing Mama, she sipped her tea and chuckled as she went back to her room, I took my breakfast to my room and then ran through my social media page to see if there would be something different other than the constant celebrity gossiping and an unsupportive audience commenting, same old thing. I had my bathe and headed straight for my best friend's house few blocks away, as I walked down the street I saw the newspaper vendor selling his newspapers to the same old people,the same women that were begging on the road last week and the week before sat at the exact position I gave them money last week with their children under the hot sun and as I walked past them I gave them the same amount of money I gave them last week and the week before, I sighted the ice cream seller a few steps away and quickly went up to him with the few change in my pocket and the ice cream seller gave me the same flavour of ice cream he had given me last week and two weeks before that. I kept walking up the street humming the same song that I usually sang in my mind like a rock star every day even though my voice was as angelic as that of a parrot, still the same old voice, as I got closer to my friend's house I saw the same old folks chatting away their achievements from like ten years ago, I greeted them and walked right past. That was when I step my foot on a biscuit wrap and on normal days I would ignore it but today I felt the urge to do the right thing and I bent down, picked it up and disposed of it in the trash bin, I paused and thought to my self , that was new and literally a change of things.
