How Do Gravity Water Purifiers Work?

6 Amazing Self-Improvement Benefits I Got Through Yoga

The Opioid Crisis and a Public Health Emergency

 

In a recent policy change, President Trump and his administration declared the opioid crisis in the United States a public health emergency.

  • Sweating
  • Insomnia
  • Headache
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Involuntary movements
  • Hand tremors
  • Increased heart rate

These and other symptoms are the natural result of your body trying to function without the presence of a substance it has become used to. Even more serious withdrawal symptoms, such as delirium and life-threatening seizures, are possible if you are a heavy drinker or have been dependent upon alcohol for a long time. Most medical professionals would advise against trying to quit alcohol cold turkey on your own because of this risk, and because you may resume drinking to relieve the physical and psychological challenges of alcohol withdrawal. Having the benefit of professional medical attention combined with the supervision and structure of … Read more
