Oklahoma- On New Year’s Eve people all around the world will be celebrating the end of yet another year. As the ball drops, people will be making resolutions to change their life for the better.
But, for someone with a drug or alcohol addiction, it is just another reason to party and binge on drugs or alcohol and can give those already addicted more of a reason to abuse drugs.
“New Years was definitely an excuse to go spend all my money on drugs and alcohol, and get inebriated,” explains Becca, an ex-heroin addict and graduate of the Narconon drug rehab program.
“Most people would over do it on New Year’s Eve,” she adds, “I saw many people get very close to overdosing as a result.”
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, emergency department visits as a result to substance abuse greatly increase on New Years. In order to help, Narconon drug rehab center gives a few tips on how you make your New Year’s Eve a little safer.
First, make sure your party has a designated driver or some sort of transportation for those who plan to drink alcoholic beverages. Offer non alcoholic beverages to your guest. For anyone attempting to have prolonged sobriety, simply stay away from location where their sole purpose is the distribution of alcohol. If you see someone who is overly intoxicated, do not allow them to get behind the wheel of a car. Finally, if you or someone you know is struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, do not wait until after the New Year because that could be too late.
