While many scholar psychologists argue that abstinence is perhaps the only viable way of treating drug addiction, other scholars have demonstrated that controlled use of alcohol and the addictive drug can also provide a realistic solution to the problem. It is paramount for stakeholders to agree that drug addiction is a treatable condition. However, treating drug related syndromes requires that the treatment model is tailored to the needs of the victims. One way of administering this treatment model is by allowing the victims to control their condition and live normal and productive lives. I think that drug and substance ...

During the last 20 years, comorbidity has had a growing prevalence in psychiatric disorders. Comorbidity refers to the overlap of more than one psychiatric disorder. Dual-diagnosis is a more specific diagnosis of a substance use, which can be drug or alcohol use, and other psychiatric disorders (Stinson et al., 2006). Such is the case with the subject Ken, who is presented for this paper. Ken’s sleep disturbances and lack of appetite indicate a diagnosis of depression to fulfill the psychiatric end of the dual-diagnosis. Using alcohol, underage, as a tranquilizer warrants the substance abuse diagnosis. His distraction, restlessness, ...

Dear Editor: Temperance

The prohibition party are pushing for a ban on the sale and consumption of all alcohol in the United States. It seems to be widely believed that, without alcohol, the US would become a better place in which to live. The feeling is that prohibiting alcohol would prevent people wasting all of their wages on alcohol. Furthermore, there is a growing need to reduce antisocial behaviour, such as domestic and street violence. As many such incidents are alcohol related, banning alcohol from the country would, arguably, cut down on such behaviours. Despite the theoretical benefits to the US, I ...

Estimates show that, in the U.S., about 41,000 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) occur in hospitals each year (CDC, 2014). CLABSI is a preventable complication that lengthens the hospital stay and increases the cost of care. It is a cause of patients’ lost productivity and undue suffering. Since 2008, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has also refused to reimburse CLABSI-related care. The negative implications for the patient and the organization call for prevention using evidence-based practice (EBP). Accessing the hub of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is a common source of infection (Moureau, 2010). ...

My personal experience back in college as a young adult can be described as wild and care free. I was the captain of my college football team and this made me very popular.

These were of course accompanied by cases of rowdiness and restlessness. In other words, I had a high affinity to disrupt the ...

However, while the Populists were focused on the labor and farming class, Progressives were anchored in the increasingly influential middle class. As they belonged to a higher class and were generally better educated than the Populists, Progressives succeeded in having several reforms ...

The sociological strategy toward social problems varies from other approaches in that the sociological strategy has a focus on self-consciousness and building attention that causes outside of the single person's control or area of command can frequently influence the interaction with community.
