Facts
Benzodiazepines, therapeutically used as tranquillizers, hypnotics, anticonvulsants and centrally acting muscle relaxants, rank among the most frequently prescribed drugs. Methadone's dangerous side effects, its history as a substance used to help addicts, and its long-lasting effects on the body have all combined to bring its uses—both legal and illegal—under greater scrutiny. Ninety percent of those arrested for drunk driving are white males. The highest percentage of this group are in their 20s. People who drive drunk are likely to be heavy drinkers and alcohol abusers, although light and moderate drinkers may also drive drunk on occasion, perhaps following a binge. The consensus of studies based on screening tests of drunk drivers is that about 50 percent arrested for this offense are alcohol abusers, about 35 percent are social drinkers, and the remainder fall in between. In 1996, local law enforcement agencies made an estimated 1,467,300 arrests nationwide for driving under the influence of alcohol. |
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is defined as the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for other than medically warranted purposes. Drug abuse is a problem which has an effect on people of all income levels,
ages, and stations in life. Quite often the last person to see that there is a
problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".
Relapse
Relapse is a term used to describe when an individual who has quit using drugs starts using once again. A relapse can mean just a one time use, a long term continues period of using or anything in between after a period of sobriety has taken place. An individual begins to experience a psychological relapse long before their first use after
quitting. Some things that can lead to relapse both physically or psychologically include: 1. Being in the presence of drugs or alcohol, drug or alcohol users, or places where you used or bought chemicals. 2. Feelings we perceive as negative, particularly anger; also sadness, loneliness, guilt, fear, and anxiety. 3. Positive feelings that make you want to celebrate by using. 4. Listening to others past drug use stories and just dwelling on getting high. 5. Believing that you no longer have to worry (complacent). That is, that you are no longer stimulated to crave drugs/alcohol by any of the above situations or by anything else – and therefore maybe it’s safe for you to use occasionally.

Through therapy and education, the individual is restored to their former non-drug using self. They are then able to re-enter society clean and sober.
