If your spouse has been drinking a lot and you have rising suspicions about the extent of their behavior, they may have an addiction to alcohol. Alcoholism is a deadly disease, killing millions of people and affecting countless others. Though it may be difficult to tell if a person simply likes to drink or if they have a physical dependence on alcohol, there are signs and details that will provide you with the answers to the questions you have about your spouse’s alcohol intake and abuse. If you think the signals below pertain to your spouse, or yourself, please call Right Path Drug Rehab Centers immediately to set up a consultation at the ideal addiction treatment facility for the situation at hand.   Changes in Behavior One of the most recognizable signs of alcoholism is the overall change in behavior and mood. If you find that your spouse’s actions have become increasingly erratic, their emotions more intense, or become uncharacteristic while drinking, they may be addicted to alcohol. Next time you notice this, wait until they are sober and bring up your concerns. Ask your spouse to stop drinking for a specific period of time. If they drink daily, alcoholics will have a hard time going a week without a drink. If they become extremely irritable, irrational, sick, or are unable to resist temptations, then your spouse may be an alcoholic. If so, contact us to enroll at a substance…

For most of the populations of the world drinking alcohol is a common practice. It isn’t unusual to see people drinking every night in the United States, or even in the morning in some parts of Europe. But for the countries below, alcohol is strictly forbidden. Usually as a religious adherence, these countries have a permanent prohibition on alcohol. Now, alcohol is not to be celebrated as a harmless beverage, but there is much we can learn from the political law of countries that choose to ban drinking all together and enforce the rule on their people. Political tyranny never leads to an abundantly prosperous or happy nation, instead it is the cause of social and economic turmoil these places experience, which inherently have a relationship with substance abuse. Here are five countries that ban alcohol and what we can learn from their practices to better our own.   Afghanistan The largest producer of illegal drugs in the world has a federal alcohol ban. Over 30 percent of Afghanistan’s economy is dependent on drug manufacturing and exporting. The drug they produce most is heroin, coming from the poppy plant which is abundant in the region. There is also an epidemic of heroin use due to its accessibility. Like the other countries on this list, the resources of addiction treatment centers are few and far between, if existent at all. If the ban on alcohol hasn’t helped decrease the overall addiction…

Like many, more famous poets of the Beat Generation, Jack Spicer was a hopeless alcoholic. So hopeless in fact, that the disease took his life in the poverty ward of a San Francisco general hospital at the dreadful age of 40. Like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, Spicer’s life was consumed by alcohol, writing, and the countercultural politics that later defined the 1960’s. Except Spicer wasn’t known for his work when he was alive. No one will ever know if Spicer would have been more prolific, widely read, or influential if he had lived. But, one thing is for sure, Spicer’s work and untimely death has propelled him further into the literary consciousness of American poetry since he met his tragic end in 1965. If you or anyone you know is addicted to drugs or alcohol, call United Drug Rehab Group immediately to set up your consultation with the perfect substance abuse treatment clinic for the situation at hand.   Growing up depressed, homosexual, and alienated from his family, Spicer spent many of his days down-and-out. The others he spent in school, drinking, and writing– until he met his maker through a coma in the elevator up to his apartment.   Don’t be like the poet, whose short life came to an end after years of alcoholism without assistance from a drug rehab center.  If Jack Spicer were living today, he would be a perfect candidate for…

However, the next question is which drug rehab center will be best for you particular situation. Should you determine that the best type of program that would best serve your needs is a residential treatment center, what type of questions should you be asking? By considering the following factors and consulting Right Path Rehab Center’s network of qualified rehab centers, you can succeed in finding the addiction recovery program that works best for you. While choosing a substance abuse treatment center may seem like a daunting task, it can be a key element of your successful recovery.

In order to best accomplish this, you’ll want to ask a few questions about any residential program in which you are considering enrollment. Is the program based on evidence?

In other words, the program has a demonstrated success rate. You don’t want to enter treatment and find yourself…

Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is the most powerful hallucinogenic drug on Earth. It is also a chemical found in every living thing. The drug can be extracted from plants, or from anything with enough concentrated DMT to find yourself transported into the otherworldly trip that is often called a life-changing, eye-opening experience.   People reportedly meet God, see the light, come into contact with extraterrestrials, dive into a parallel universe, and meet people from both the past and future. Unsurprisingly, DMT is the chemical that gets released in your brain during two pivotal moments: when you are asleep and when you are about to die. The latter can be contributed to “near-death experiences” in which a person sees or interacts with the above phenomenon. Seeing a white light, or talking to god, or seeing dead relatives are all common experiences in both taking DMT and having a near-death experience.   The drug is smoked through a pipe and the trip is commenced immediately. The effects only last for around ten minutes or so, but feel like much longer, the same way a dream can feel like a lifetime even though it only lasts a few minutes. Smoking DMT can feel like hours or even days. However, despite its intensity, the drug is neither addictive nor known to be psychologically damaging.   That doesn’t mean the drug is harmless, in the same report that stated that the effects of DMT use are…

The advent of the internet has changed the way drugs are bought, sold, and exchanged. In fact, this new environment of cyberspace has changed the very way that people interact with one another. In the past, a drug dealer might give a fake name to maintain anonymity, but in the era of the internet, an entirely fabricated persona becomes a possibility. Such is the case with the Dread Pirate Roberts, the fabricated identity that masked the man who created the infamous online black market website the Silk Road. The Silk Road The Silk Road was a black market site that was designed to allow users to buy, sell, or trade almost anything they wanted. The site was encoded and accessible only through a special TOR internet browser, thus ensuring commerce was possible without the fear of government interference. Not only did this allow for money to change hands without having to pay the duly assigned sales tax associated with the exchange, it also provided the opportunity to buy and sell drugs online. While there were some slight boundaries — stolen goods, child pornography, and fake degrees were all outlawed — there was an extremely lively drug trade. The Dread Pirate Roberts Presiding over this illicit amazon was the Dread Pirate Roberts, a name taken from The Princess Bride (likely the movie, not the book, given that if the man behind DPR had been a reader, he presumably would have chosen…
