DUI Evaluation Tempe

One study has shown that a brief intervention in the emergency department may be effective for alcohol users. This concept is sometimes called the “teachable moment”. Injured alcohol-using  patients were randomly assigned to receive either brief advice or no advice regarding alcohol abuse and completed a 12-month follow-up interview. The group receiving the brief advice tended to report lower alcohol consumption at 12-month follow-up compared to those who did not receive advice. 

If  you, or someone you know is suffering emotional or legal problems due to substance abuse or a DUI  in Tempe Arizona, contact Stonewall Institute  to schedule a DUI substance abuse evaluation at 602-535-6468.

DUI Substance Abuse Evaluation Tempe

A question that has been raised by numerous individuals is the following: why can some people drink alcohol without experiencing any major difficulties, negative alcohol-related outcomes, or drinking problems while others cannot? One answer to this question involves genetic make-up. More specifically, substance abuse researchers have found that having an alcoholic family member increases the risk of developing alcoholism.

In fact, alcohol info and research show that there may be a genetic predisposition for certain individuals to become dependent on alcohol. In addition, alcoholism scientists have discovered that different environmental factors can interact with one’s genetics, the result of which is a complex system of dynamic variables that can lead to alcoholism or to the abuse of alcohol.

Examples of these environment factors include an individual’s family and friends, an individual’s culture, the relative ease of getting alcohol, where and how an individual lives, and peer influence.
Drunk driving and alcoholism statistics and relevant alcohol info report that alcohol-involved crashes accounted for 10 percent of property-damage-only crash costs, 21 percent of nonfatal injury crashes and 46 percent of fatal injury crash costs.
