The Controversy Over Roadside Field Sobriety Tests - Roadside field sobriety tests (FSTs), developed at the behest of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), are commonly employed by police officers during DUI stops to determine whether a driver is under the influence of alcohol. FSTs generally consist of a battery of three to five exercises, such as walking and turning in a different direction, standing on one leg, nystagmus (using the eyes to track an object), touching the finger to the nose and reciting the alphabet. The officer may subjectively decide whether the individual failed the test, or he may decide after applying recently-promulgated federal scoring standards. The NHTSA thinks these tests are a reliable way to gauge sobriety; however, there is mounting evidence that they are anything but. Benefits of Drinking Alcohol for Diabetes Type II - Diabetes Mellitus comes in two forms, Type I and Type II. Unlike Diabetes Type I, Type II Diabetes Mellitus occurs later in life. The majority of Type II Diabetics are women. The Components of Alcohol Addiction - Alcoholism is a powerful craving for alcohol which often results in the compulsive consumption of alcohol. Alcoholism Treatment Options - Medications The classical use of medications for alcoholism is to encourage abstinence. Antabuse (also known as disulfiram), for instance, prevents the elimination of chemicals which cause severe discomfort when alcohol is ingested, effectively preventing the alcoholic from drinking in significant amounts while they take the medicine. Heavy drinking while on antabuse can result in severe illness and death. Naltrexone has also been used because it helps curb cravings for alcohol while the person is on it. Both of these, however, have been demonstrated to cause a rebound effect when the user stops taking them. These do allow a person to overcome psychological addictions to alcohol, but they do not treat the neurochemical addiction. In more recent studies it has been demonstrated that the use of naltrexone while the alcoholic continues to drink can result in extinction of the neurochemical addiction. Can You Beat the Breathalyzer? - If you are ever suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and pulled over by the police, you may be given a Breathalyzer test, which will be used to determine the level of alcohol concentration in your... Are Sobriety Checkpoints Legal? - As many people know, the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States forbids the unreasonable search or seizure of U.S. citizens. Recovery From Addictions, Part 2 - (This is Part 2 of a 5-part series on addiction). In Part 1 of this series of articles, I defined substance and process addictions, and described the four major false beliefs that underlie most addictions: 1. I can't handle my pain. 2. I am unworthy and unlovable. 3. Others are my source of love. 4. I can have control over how others feel about me and treat me. This article addresses the first of these beliefs, and goes into the process of learning to manage your pain. Learning to manage pain is essential if you are going to move out of addictive behavior, since the intent of most addictive behavior is to avoid pain, coming from the belief that you cannot handle your pain. Small children have few skills in managing pain. Parents are supposed to be there to help them with painful situations. Recovery From Addictions: Part 1 - (This is Part 1 of a 5-part series on addiction). Just about everyone in our society is addicted to something. Addictions can take many forms: SUBSTANCE ADDICTIONS: addiction to alcohol, recreational drugs, prescription meds, caffeine, nicotine, food, sugar, carbohydrates. Alcoholism among Young People - At first sight it may seem that life in society is peaceful and quiet. People are surrounded by comfort and cosiness and don't seem to be longing for anything else. The real life seems less colourful than from the first sight. The more independent we get from each other, the lonelier we become. Addiction Treatment Centers Using Experiential Therapies - Life is experience. Substance dependence overtakes a person's ability to make her own decisions to experience life, and life is no longer actively participated in. Therefore, in overcoming addiction, it is vital to learn to re-experience life. This lesson helps a treatment center resident reintegrate into the world after therapy is through. Experiential therapy is this bridge to leaving a life of substance dependency and commencing a life of health, both physical and mental. Drug Rehab Treatment Centers As An Experience, Not A Punishment - Choosing a drug rehab treatment center is a decision that calls for both negative and positive emotions. Nobody wants addiction to overtake their life to the point that rehab is the necessary step. However, the decision to go to one is something to look forward to, as it is the decision to rebuild a healthy life. It is the conscious realization of a problem, and it is the first conscious step towards healing. Understanding what drug addiction entails and how it affects the user is important for healing substance abuse. As well as understanding addiction, knowing what rehabilitation is will help the patient understand what he is going through and the purpose of the treatment. Lastly, the type of rehabilitation program is of vital importance for the patient. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - Don't Risk Your Unborn Child - The dangers of consuming alcohol whilst pregnant have only really become fully understood in recent years. When the pregnant woman drinks alcohol, it enters the bloodstream and reduces the ability of the blood in the placenta to provide adequate oxygen to the growing fetus. The infant is born suffering from the same problems as an alcoholic and is therefore subject to withdrawal symptoms from the moment he or she is born. These symptoms include irritability, sleeplessness, and poor appetite. Around twenty percent of infants born with fetal alcohol syndrome will die shortly after birth. Those that live will have a lifetime of intellectual disability to a varying degree as well as physical disabilities. You can Host a Party and Get Sued? - It's true. If you host a party and serve alcohol, you could be held liable for personal injury and/or property damage in many states under the following scenario: 1. You served alcohol to a person. 2. You knew, or should have known, the person was intoxicated. 3. You knew the person would soon be driving from the party. 4. Understanding Drug And Alcohol Rehabilitation - For many years, when people thought of alcohol and drug rehab, the image that almost immediately came to mind was most likely a group of people, sitting in a circle in folding chairs in a big vacant room. Addiction in Any Form is Abnormal - "Psychological and physiological dependence on a substance or practice" - is the medical definition of the term addiction. An addiction is an uncontrollably strong longing for something - an abnormal kinky obsession for things. A person with an addiction is called an addict. Addiction is in fact a hydra-headed concept having different facets. Alcohol Addiction Treatment Program - 3 Alcoholism Treatment Option Steps - An alcohol addiction treatment program consists of three general alcoholism treatment option steps. These three steps are intervention, detoxification and rehabitation. 20 Tips For A Great Night's Sleep - Getting a good night's sleep helps us to be happier, more productive people, so here's some tips to help you get a good night's sleep: 1. Avoid drinking tea or coffee late at night 2. Stop smoking - nicotine is a stimulant and so can make it difficult to get to sleep and stay asleep 3.

Use dimmers on your light switches, and dim the lights in the hours before you go to bed to mimic the change from daylight to night time 6.

DUI - Driving Under the Influence (of alcohol or drugs). BAC - Blood Alcohol Concentration (or Content). These three acronyms form a deadly combination. Drug And Alcohol Interventions - A Life Changing Wake Up Call - A drug and alcohol intervention is a process of overcoming the barriers, getting across to the addicts and making them realize where they stand and what can be done to come out... A New Definition Of Drug And Alcohol Addiction And Treatment - Substance Abuse Has No Societal Boundaries - An addict is not considered an addict just because he drinks and drugs too much, nor because his life spirals downwards because of drugs.
