Freakonomics has been talking for a long time about the dangers of drinking alcohol and walking – mile for mile you have a much high chance for death than if you were driving (not that drunk-driving is OK either!) This is from a bottle of ‘Shake Shake’
Shake Shake is a nickname for traditional African beer made from maize and malt; it has a short shelf life (about five days), a relatively low alcohol content (3.5%) and, is meant to be shaken before consumption

A study came out recently that said more than 3 million people under the age of 25 have used over-the-counter cold and cough medicine to get high. The study went on to say that the chemicals in over 140 medicines that are being abused in called Dextromethorphan, or DXM.

Treating heroin addiction has come a long way since the days when there were few options. Many detox centers can help the patient with methadone treatment for the physical addiction and many can help the addict with learning how to cope once he or she is clean.
But many drug rehab treatment centers do not want clients to go from being addicted to one drug to getting hooked on another.… Read the rest

Musicians and drug use seem to be linked throughout history. There is no shortage of famous musicians lives ended prematurely due to drug overdoses.

Treatment for chemical dependency is needed when someone is abusing any substance. A recent study recently found that 3 million people under the age of 25 have abused OTC drugs.

I saw a documentary called “Crystal Darkness” the other day and I was shocked by just how addictive methampetamine is. And there are really only 2 choices when it comes to this drug: prison or going to a drug rehabilitation facility. Sadly, many people choose jail instead of treatment.
There are often other substances being abused along with the meth, so choosing a drug rehab center that will also work as a treatment center for alcohol addiction or another substance is the best choice.… Read the rest

There is nothing like seeing a friend or a loved one come home from drug rehab. The difference is often night and day relative to when they entered, especially considering all the physical and mental damage this person was causing to themselves and those around them.

College is seen as a rite of passage. It’s the time where a young adult can break free from the restraints of their parents and figure out what kind of person they are on their own. And sometimes that person is the one that wants to drink heavily and do beer bongs. This is when school life can suffer and lead to dropping out. … Read the rest

A new study suggests that children that have a good relationship with their parents have less of a chance to develop alcohol-related problems. The findings, published in the May issue of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs , underscore the important role parents play in the risk of problem drinking.
Dr. Emmanuel Kuntsche, of the Swiss Institute for the Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Problems in Lausanne, Switzerland, says “…the circumstances in which that first drinks occurs — and how parents deal with it — is important.”
For their study, Kuntsche and his colleagues surveyed 364 teenagers three times over two years.… Read the rest
