FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Press Release)
Oct, 2010 -- Since 2002 when a study by task force on drinking
showed that "abusive drinking by college students is widespread,
dangerous and disruptive", binge drinking
has been on the rise in the US. By definition binge drinking
is described as 5 or more drinks in a row for men and 4 or more
drinks in a row for women. Binge drinking is best described
as drinking enough to bring the blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) to .08 or more. This blood alcohol concentration generally
occurs in excessive drinking within a two-hour time.
There are over 5000 underage teens who die from excessive
drinking each year, and more than 1,700 college students,
between the ages of 18 to 24, get injured due to direct result
of alcohol abuse every year. Additionally, every two hours
a teenager dies from an alcohol related accident.
All these statistics point to one fact. Our kids whether teenagers
or young adults are dying from alcohol abuse
in an alarming rate, and something needs to be done.
The first recommendation has always been education, and specifically
educating our kids at an early age. Parents must talk to their
kids about the dangers of alcohol abuse which
can cause immediate medical concerns like vomiting, cold and
clammy skin or medical emergencies like shallow breathing
and unresponsiveness that could result in coma and death.
Our kids should know about the consequential effects of alcohol
abuse that centers around sex and violence in colleges,
and not mentioning a major cause of poor academic performance
by college students.
Teens and young adults should know that
alcohol is a legal psychoactive drug that can and will cause
overdose and death. MRI studies of kids and young
adults between the ages of 14 to 21 has shown permanent
changes to both pre-frontal cortex (the decision making part
of the brain) and the limbic system of the brain. Now, scientists
are trying to find out if the changes are reversible.
At the end, the only hope that we have as a society, is to
transfer the knowledge we have gained through the many deaths
and injuries of our kids to the next generation of youth and
hope they use that knowledge to save their life.
If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol
abuse or alcohol addiction and is in need of help,
Inspirations Teen Rehab
offers a flexible and affordable teen addiction treatment
program. Our aim is to treat the whole person, and
not just an isolated symptom. During the addiction
treatment process we will work with the teen to identify
the factors that may have contributed to the alcohol
abuse and addiction – home, friends and medical
history. We also believe that families have a vital role to
play in the recovery process, and each addiction treatment
program has a place for family participation, to educate them
in the treatment process and to equip them for their role
as supporters.
