Facts
There are many different types of field tests that an officer can request. Oftentimes, a person is asked to walk in a straight line, stand on one leg, or recite the alphabet or a group of numbers. In other field tests, an officer positions an object, usually a pen, about one foot from the driver's face and then moves the object from one side to another while observing the driver's eye movements. If there is any involuntary jerking or trembling in the eyes, the driver has most likely been drinking. In some situations, even social or moderate drinking can be dangerous. Examples include the following: drinking during pregnancy, when driving, or when taking various medications. Drinking and driving accidents are the number one killer of teenagers. Teenage drivers with impaired blood alcohol content are fifty-four times more likely to be killed in single vehicle crashes than their sober counterparts. Fifty-three percent of falls, 38 percent of drownings, and 64 percent of fires and burns are alcohol and drug related. No matter how careful people are when they are sober, drugs or alcohol can cloud their judgment and turn simple acts like crossing the street into life-threatening situations. The most common side effects associated with the use of hydromorphone are increased sweating, light-headedness, dizziness, sedation, mental depression, nausea, and vomiting. Less commonly seen side effects include weakness, headache, muscle rigidity, decreased feeling in the extremities, double vision, hallucinations, disorientation, muscle coordination problems, muscle tremor, hearing loss, agitation, euphoric feelings, blurred vision, and insomnia. Additional side effects can include changes in heart rhythm, chills, decreased blood pressure, increased blood pressure, diarrhea, cramps, itching, dry mouth, skin flushing, breathing alterations, constipation, anorexia, cramps, alterations in taste, skin rashes, and urinary difficulties. |
Sobriety
Sobriety means the moderation in or abstinence from consumption of alcoholic liquor or use of drugs. When an individual with an addiction problem enters drug rehabilitation, their main goal is to attain long term sobriety. Unfortunately, sometimes drug addicts and alcoholics find they are able to sustain short periods of sobriety followed by a drug or alcohol relapse. This is why attending a drug or alcohol rehab will help the individual maintain their focus on sobriety. Often, it is only by getting help that individuals with severe drug addiction problems are able to achieve lasting sobriety.
Therapeutic Community
An effective therapeutic community attends to the many needs of the individual, not just his or her drug use. Care given at a therapeutic community addresses the individual's drug use and associated medical, psychological, social, vocational, and legal problems. Also, a therapeutic community will continue to be flexible and provide ongoing assessments of the individual's needs, which may change during the course of care.
Remaining in care at a therapeutic community for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness. The time depends on an individual's needs. For most people, the significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment.
Detox
Detox is necessary when an individual through their chronic use of drugs or alcohol has developed an addiction. The objective of detox is to help the individual achieve a drug and alcohol free state. Detox is intended to relieve the physical symptoms of withdrawal and helps prepare the individual for entry into drug rehabilitation. Therefore, the ultimate goal of detox is preparation for long term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Intervention
An intervention is when a group of loved ones and/or a trained intervention counselor meets with the person in need of help for the purpose of breaking down their denial and motivating them to immediately seek drug addiction treatment. Often, individuals in the midst of drug addiction engage in a variety of self destructive behaviors. Although baffling to friends and family members such people generally either aren't aware on a conscious level that they have a drug addiction problem, or even when they know they have a problem they may cling to the false belief that the problem will somehow go away without any outside help. When an intervention is held a moment of clarity is created
for the addict. Most people struggling with the problem of drug or alcohol
addiction will accept help the very day of the intervention.
Drug Overdose
A drug overdose occurs when you consume more drugs than your body can tolerate. Drug users are constantly flirting with the risk of a drug overdose. There is a
fine line between the high they're seeking and serious injury or death. While many victims of drug overdose recover without long term effects, there
can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
