The holidays are approaching and we all think of good cheer, but for many people the holidays are a very difficult time. We rarely think about how many of our holiday traditions involve alcohol and excess. How can we make the holidays safer for everyone and more enjoyable for our friends in recovery? When you are planning a party, always be sure to have non-alcoholic drinks available and easy to access. It can be just as festive to have non-alcoholic eggnog and other seasonal drinks. If you have not eliminated alcohol from your party be sure that you have alternative ways to get guests home. Designated drivers, taxis or overnight accommodations are all ways to keep everyone safe. Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 31 minutes and non-fatally injure someone every two minutes. Approximately 1.5 million drivers were arrested in 2002 for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. This is an arrest rate of 1 for every 130 licensed drive

Patricia used to approach the holidays with an overwhelming sense of dread, because she never knew what her alcoholic brother might do to ruin them. As Thanksgiving floral arrangements gave way to sparkling Christmas ornaments and the drone of holiday music, her stomach would clench more each day and her mood would grow darker. "Some years were just awful," she recalls. "So often my brother would show up drunk and make a scene at family gatherings. He'd scare his kids, embarrass his wife, and break my mother's heart over and over again. One year he got arrested a week before Christmas for driving under the influence and for disorderly conduct. I remember that we called the judge to ask if they could keep him in jail until after the holidays. We all breathed a collective sigh of relief when they did just that. We could finally relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing he was safe but unable to spoil things for everyone." Thankfully, those painful memories are distant ones now, because Pat

I was updating my celebrity blog this afternoon and kind of sad that many celebrities, namely Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears should have been good examples to youngsters ended up in taking drugs and had to be admitted into drug treatment.

I don’t know how many of you know drug addicts in your close environment; if you do I am sure you all will agree with me that it’s one, if not the biggest problems that a family have to deal with. About two weeks ago I found a site called cliffsidemalibu and it has to do mainly with drug rehabilitation .Everything is confidential and no one will learn about your or your loved one’s problem. You can call in any time of any day of the week and a counsellor will talk to you trying to help and give advises that might be life saving. For example I am not sure how many people know that the successful treatment that helps you get rid of a drug addiction is the one that specifically deals with the specific drug . Cliffside Malibu is a residential drug rehab, alcohol rehab center and extended care facility for adults suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, depression, and other co-occurring disorders. In my opinion the site is very helpfully build. Not all drug

What is a drug?A drug is anything a person puts into their body that affects the brain, mood, thought, and perception. There are many kinds of drugs. Some are illegal, such as methamphetamine, heroin, or cocaine. Others are legal, such as alcohol, prescription drugs and over-the- counter medications, and even household products like aerosol sprays, glue, or cleaning fluid. What is Addiction?There are many different definitions of addiction. But the experts seem to agree that someone who is addicted to drugs feels a need to use the substance — over and over again. In fact, abusers of certain drugs, such as heroin, can feel sick — literally — if they do not have the drug in their bodies. Addicted people continue to use substances even after the drugs have caused problems for them. Even big problems, like losing children or families, friends, jobs, or homes. When Addiction Takes HoldAs addiction or drug dependence develops, users tend to

McMahon's Commentary - 10/10: "Adolescent Alcohol" What is the solution to the current problem America has with drunk driving and alcohol related crimes. Some are saying - let's have more drunks. There is currently once again a movement to lower the legal drinking age to 18. Of course that means that along with other problems, college kids who are killing themselves with binge drinking because of inexperience and stupidity, could now do so legally. Logic professors must all be considering suicide. The argument for is generally based on the promise that if kids can drink legally at 18 they will do so openly rather than participating in keggers behind locked doors. Hey, there are no doors. Under age consumption of alcohol is everywhere - in your face mom and dad - and the only defense we have is - it's against the law. Does anyone really believe a high school senior is concerned about cirrhosis of the liver? Brain specialists generally agree that mental maturity doesn't

Below are some guidelines to help you make the most of talking with someone you care about regarding a drug or alcohol problem:Having the TalkWhen: Make sure the timing is right. Have the talk when they're sober and clear-headed, perhaps in the morning before work. You won't get anywhere talking when they are drunk, high, or coming down.Try talking to your loved one soon after you know they've been drinking or using drugs, when they are feeling hung over and guilty. Remember that you're not addressing just one incident, but a pattern of behavior. Where: Meet in a neutral place; a coffee shop, park, or some other public place. Make sure alcohol is not available.How: Always use a gentle, caring tone of voice.Try not to judge: don't start out by accusing your loved one of being a drug addict or an alcoholic. This will put them on the defensive and they might walk away.Tell them how you feel; how worried you are and how you feel when you see them drunk or high.Tell your lov

Celebrity spectacles put negative spin on rehabPHOENIX (July 2, 2007) – Drug and alcohol abuse rehabilitation centers nationwide have become the new weekend getaway spot, thanks to the acts of several high-profile celebrities and debutants.That’s because when Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears and other well-known celebrities check into rehab, it’s not long after until they check out to return to their socially-graced lifestyles.Lee Pioske of Crossroads, Inc., a Phoenix-based network of transitional living facilities for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, feels the seriousness, or lack thereof, with which these celebrities are treating their own drug and alcohol abuse problems, is creating a poor reputation for rehab centers across the nation and a joke out of the disease itself."The vast majority of persons who check into rehab centers are there to kick a bad habit, said Pioske. "It seems so many celebrities are now using rehabilitation facilities as another publ

I came to Crossroads for Women in February of 2005, straight from the Arizona Department of Corrections. My life before going to prison was wild and crazy. I had no regard for people, places or things. I was so strong in my addiction, that by any means necessary I did what I had to do to feed my addiction. I stayed drunk and high twenty four hours a day. This caused me to lose everything that I had. The materialistic things disappeared immediately. And over time I lost the things that were most valuable to me which was my spirituality, self respect, dignity, integrity, and my family. I had lost myself in the midst of the vicious cycle of my addiction. I had no self worth and no self esteem and had no clue that I could live a sober meaningful life. At one point I was fighting to survive and the end I was barely in existence. I had become my own worst enemy and had given up on life.While incarcerated I began to take substance abuse classes and learned that I had some serious issues that

Non-medicinal interventions are highly effective in preventing the behavioral and academic problems associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), according to a five-year study led by researchers at Lehigh University’s College of Education. The study, titled “Project Achieve” and funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), was the largest of its kind focusing on children aged 3 to 5 who have shown significant symptoms of ADHD. It also involved researchers from Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pa. Eurekalert August 21, 2007

To numb the feeling of pain and to succumb to various problems in life, many people have turned to drugs for their relief of pain and sorrows. Most cases of drugs addiction happens in teens and for adults who are mostly out of jobs. The kinds of addiction that people have can be alcohol as well as other drugs such as heroine, ecstasy and so on. About 100 years ago, cocaine is a legal stimulant in Australia which has given people like Sigmund Freud more energy. Sigmund Freud was a medical student then. However, soon one of his friends died of complications associated with the abuse of cocaine. Since then Freud had stopped the use of cocaine. Freud was not addicted to drugs. Freud had used cocaine to have more energy. There is a difference between the usage of drugs and addiction. Drugs are medications and they serve to treat and relief symptoms caused by illnesses. It can mean the usage for therapeutic or recreational purposes. Such usage is limited and the usage of drugs is in moder

Do you ever wonder why there are more and more people who suffer from addiction? Why with all of our technology, scientific and medical advances, and some really smart people thinking about this problem-why do we seem to keep going backwards? Every week I read in the newspaper that there is a new pill that will finally "cure" this problem and there will be no more need to alcohol or drug treatment in Arizona, or anywhere else for that matter. With all the complicated theories and medical cures, at this point in time it appears the simple approach is still the most effective.12-step meetings, behavior modification, adding in responsibility and accountability-these are the things that really do work, and have worked over the course of time. Until someone can prove differently, these are the optimal tools to rely upon."Therefore nothing can matter more to the future welfare of AA than the manner in which we use this colossus of communication. Used unselfishly and well, the results can

Drug rehabs, drug rehabilitation programs, drug and alcohol rehab centers, alcohol rehabilitation programs, drug treatment programs, drug rehab centers, alcohol rehab centers, alcohol rehab programs, chemical dependency treatment centers and substance abuse treatment programs are all terms used to describe the same thing - a safe and supportive environment for recovery from drug addiction and/or alcoholism, with an emphasis on drugs and alcohol rather than psychiatric illness. Drug rehabs or alcohol rehabilitation programs are usually in the form of a residential addiction treatment facility, but can also be intensive outpatient rehabilitation or day treatment, or partial hospitalization (also called day/night) addiction treatment programs - this last form is basically a type of addiction treatment center that takes on the same form and can provide the same level of care as a residential drug rehab or alcohol treatment center, but utilizes more than one location for treatment - often a

Drug Treatment Programs It’s likely that most people who abuse drugs, and are looking into finding a drug treatment program or drug rehabs, have heard of the twelve step program or other traditional methods of drug treatment. But many people who have tried these drug treatment programs will probably say that they don’t feel like these drug treatment works. Ultimately, the final goal for drug addiction treatment is to allow a drug abuser to attain a lifelong ability to avoid drugs, but the pressing and immediate goals of any successful drug treatment is to taper off any drug abuse, develop and restore the drug abuser’s skill and ability to live and function without the use of drugs, and minimize any and all medically and socially related complications that may arise through ending the use of drugs and throughout the withdrawal process. Similar to those people who have diabetes or heart disease, people who have a drug addiction and are in drug treatment will need to adapt their beh
