Drug and criminality

By AdminNo Comments
Drug abuse leads to various crimes   Drug abuse has been one of the leading factors that have been playing a major role in increasing the crime rate in North America. The relationship of a drug and an addict is equivalent to the relationship of shoes and socks. They are inseparable and hence it’s very difficult for an addict to get over his excess dosage of drug intake. Once a person becomes an addict, he starts doing things which he has never done before. He follows falsehood shamelessly, indulges more with “anti socials” and together they carry out anti social activities such as stealing, shop lifting and many more. Thus, when an individual develops these detrimental tendencies and his rate of addiction becomes extremely high, he should be immediately admitted to any one of the drug rehabs in New York. In doing so, there is a chance that he may turn into a new leaf again. Addicts usually don’t mix with everyone easily...

Five Qualities of a Drug Rehab Expert

By AdminNo Comments
There are certain qualities that should be possessed by a drug rehab expert to be sure that quality treatment is being given. While there may be different criteria for what constitutes being an expert, the following five qualities are extremely important. Knowledge: The word “expert”, by definition is someone who is very knowledgeable about a particular topic.

Drugs cause many different physical and mental reactions in people. An expert would have information on the various types of addictive drugs and how they are best treated. Compassion: Having an understanding of what a drug addict is going through helps workers to communicate and sympathize with what the addict is experiencing. Compassion should not be confused with having pity on, or giving into a drug addict’s behavior. Individualized attention: Any expert knows that not all people are the same....

Insurance rates go up, the company can lose employees and even be subject to lawsuits when drug or alcohol addiction is present in the work-place.
