MANY OPIOID USERS ARE NOT AWARE OF A LIFESAVING HELP HOTLINE
Did you know that millions of Americans are currently suffering from a form of opioid addiction? Possibly one of the worst parts about this epidemic sweeping through our country isn’t necessarily the influx of illegal drugs (like heroin and fentanyl) but is (in fact) the simple reality that victims cannot always get the help they […]
MEET THE COCAINE-INSPIRED HAMBURGER AT AN EDGY RESTAURANT
For a moment, imagine that you sat down in a hip but seemingly ordinary restaurant to meet some of your friends. After catching up on the week, you get the menu and try to decide what to get. Once the food has been ordered and (after a long wait) brought to you, you prepare to […]
A CLOSER LOOK AT SOME WARNING SIGNS FOR TEEN DRUG OR ALCOHOL USE
Discovering that their teenagers are using drugs or drinking alcohol might be one of the worst nightmares ever experienced by a parent, and you can understand why.

THE CONNECTION BETWEEN OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER AND DRUG ADDICTION
Each of us has felt a bit anxious when something goes wrong, haven’t we? Think about a time when you cringed in revulsion when your white shirt was stained.

Sometimes, we all need a little bit of help to get through the day, but imagine the kind of support drug addicts and alcoholics require to make it through a single hour.

SHOP IN BOISE, IDAHO SELLS ICE CREAM AND ALCOHOL
When it comes to iconic American foods, ice cream might be one of the most popular on the public menu.

Even better, […]
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE “SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE DRUG” CALLED XANAX
At some point throughout the day, we like to turn to special “miracle substances” to help us cope with minor problems. Some of you may grab a cup of coffee or a caffeine-infused chocolate to give a lasting kick to get through work. On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of us will grab a […]
CONSIDERING WHY XANAX IS SO POPULAR
According to a review in Time Magazine (2012), the effectiveness of benzodiazepines is (in a way) unbelievable, as the drugs are able to efficiently suppress neurotransmitters that induce feelings of fear and terror. In essence, you can easily see why people suffering from anxiety will turn to these drugs to feel relief by muting the […]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE INFAMOUS PAINKILLER CALLED “OXYCONTIN”
Looking back on the previous decades, we can easily say that the Opioid Crisis is one of the most terrifying public health epidemics since the HIV/AIDS outbreak in the 1970s and the 1980s. Over the course of this time, millions of people have fallen victim to opioid addiction and hundreds of thousands more have suffered […]
HOW ALCOHOLISM AND ALCOHOL ABUSE CAN AFFECT FAMILY CIRCLES
