The authors have no other relationships or activities that could appear to have influenced the submitted work. Excessive alcohol use cost states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) a median of $3.5 billion in 2010, ranging from $488 million in North Dakota to $35 billion in California. Had the highest cost per person ($1,526, compared […]

Active ingredients used to make meth interact in ways that can cause explosions and harm to anyone who may stumble upon the lab. For this reason, it’s important to be able to identify meth by look, smell, and other factors. Illicit meth is cooked in labs, often with inexpensive ingredients that can be easily found […]

Opioid withdrawal can be dangerous, and symptoms can be severe. When it’s time for you to stop taking opioids, ask for your healthcare professional’s help. Together you can create a plan to stop opioids slowly, called a taper. Tapering means slowly lowering over time the amount of opioid medicine you take until you stop completely. […]

There’s the teenager who realizes he can skim some Xanax from a parent without being noticed.
