Residential Treatment Programs
Some Residential drug rehab treatment programs can also be very effective, especially for those with more severe problems. For example, drug rehab therapeutic communities (TCs) are highly structured programs in which patients remain at a residence, typically for 6 to 12 months. Patients in TCs may include those with relatively long histories of drug addiction, involvement in serious criminal activities, and seriously impaired social functioning. TCs are now also being designed to accommodate the needs of women who are pregnant or have children. The focus of the TC is on the re-socialization of the patient to a drug-free, crime-free lifestyle.

Wrist Guards Safety Questioned

Wrist Guards Safety Questioned
Despite the general consensus among physicians, epidemiologists, educators, and manufacturers that specific protective equipment could reduce the incidence and severity of injuries to in-line skaters, there is some evidence that wrist guards, as currently designed, may transfer the location of the injuries instead of preventing them. Scalone31 reported that if wrist guards are to fulfill their function of causing the skater to skid, rather than fall on the wrist, the impact will be transferred to the torso, thereby necessitating the use of a helmet to protect the head. Broida4 stated that although wrist guards prevented abrasions and contusions, they did not necessarily prevent fractures. Cheng et al.8 reported the occurrence of fractures to the forearm adjacent to the proximal border of the wrist guards, suggesting that the wrist guard may have transferred the impact to the proximal border of the splint. Thus, the design of some protective equipment may be associated with its own specific injury pattern.

NEISS Confirms Protective Equipment
Data from NEISS confirms the efficacy of protective equipment in preventing injuries associated with Sharks Jerseys.32,18 Schieber and associates32 found that of subjects drawn from a national probability sample of those injured while Sharks Apparel, only 7% wore the four recommended articles of protective equipment, 46% wore no protective equipment, 45% wore knee pads, 33% wore wrist guards, and 20% wore helmets. Schieber et al.32 estimated that failure to wear wrist guards increased the possibility of wrist injuries ten-fold, and failure to wear elbow pads increased the risk of elbow injury by a factor of 9.5.

Interior Blinds
Interior storm window cellular shades consist of flexible (like polyethylene) or rigid plastic. Rigid plastic are typically mounted using Velcro, magnetic, or snap-in seals. You can easily install the flexible type in mini blinds frames using snap-in retainer seals or double-faced tape. Despite their ease of installation, interior discount blinds are usually not as clear as their rigid counterparts. Flexible blinds to go may also wrinkle or sag after installation.

Criminal Rehab Treatment
Treatment within the drug rehab criminal justice system can succeed in preventing an offender’s return to criminal behavior, particularly when treatment continues as the person transitions back into the community. Studies show that treatment does not need to be voluntary to be effective. Research from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration suggests that treatment can cut drug rehab in half, reduce criminal activity up to 80 percent, and reduce arrests up to 64 percent.
