Alcohol can have some really negative effects on the body. Alcohol can impair someone, serve as a severe depressant, it can also intoxicate the body and make the person vomit. Tobacco is a horrible thing. There are multiple forms of tobacco, “Tobacco can be processed, dried, rolled, and smoked as cigarettes or cigars. Loose-leaf tobacco can be smoked in pipes and hookahs (an Asian smoking pipe with a long tube that passes through an urn of water)” (Excerpt From: “Personal Wellness” v1.0. iBooks) are just a few. Tobacco can elevate one's heart rate and blood pressure, constrict the blood vessels, cause cancer in the lungs if smoked, and diminish the ability to taste and smell. Opioids are medications that relieve pain. They can easily be abused and cause addictions. Now there are some treatment options that one can take. Some people take medications. “Medications can be used to help with different aspects of the treatment process” (Excerpt From: “Personal Wellness” v1.0. iBooks).

Behavioral treatments include the patients willingness to engage in treatment options.]]> 2016-10-18 00:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131331171 maxwell_lanum https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131657018 My dad has a co-worker at his office who has just recently overcome alcoholism. I am not allowed to know details because of this co-worker's privacy, (which I fully respect). After this employee made some bad work decisions, and was acting strangely, it was apparent that something was going on. The truth was finally determined, and although this worker at first denied it, he/she couldn't keep it secret for very long. This co-worker was an alcoholic, but they overcame it. They are finally sober and my father said that this co-worker battles it every day. This worker attends an alcoholic anonymous meeting each morning before work. This individual overcame this addiction because their bosses were going to "let him/her go." They also did it for their family. ]]> 2016-10-18 23:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131657018 maxwell_lanum https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131659080 2016-10-18 23:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131659080 maxwell_lanum https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131659195 2016-10-18 23:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwell_lanum/THIS___IS___FOR___ONLINE___HEALTH____/wish/131659195
