Facts
- Valium causes a similar change in the brain's reward-inducing dopamine cells as a dose of alcohol, morphine, amphetamine or cocaine.
- While overall drug use in the U.S. dropped sharply through the Eighties, heroin use has remained relatively stable.
- The abuse of prescription drugs such as OxyContin is responsible for a great deal of health care fraud, such as corrupt physicians writing prescriptions for OxyContin for nonexistent injuries. The patient in this circumstance will often use a portion of the prescribed pills and then sell the rest for a substantial profit.
- Males are nearly twice as likely as women to have been intoxicated among drivers in fatal motor-vehicle traffic crashes.
Other Languages - BeaverAlthough searching for a drug rehab facility can seem to be an overwhelming task, locating one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days many rehab facilities employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have found a program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood of delivering their services other languages during you or your loved one's time in treatment. Although they may not initially have the capability to provide their services in other languages they might be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Frequently the facility will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
