Legal & Lethal
Alcohol. If it’s legal, it must be safe, right? As adults, we enjoy going out and having a few drinks. Sometimes we enjoy going out and having more than a few drinks, followed by hating ourselves, usually the next morning. Because it’s so accessible – even from a young age – we can forget how toxic alcohol is.

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.

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.
