Talk to recovering addicts and one common theme you will discover is that they probably wouldn’t be sober today if it wasn’t for a tightly knit support system composed of family, friends and addiction treatment counselors. Families play such an important role in how a person develops. We learn a lot about the world from our families and they are the people who you can trust no matter what. That is why families must play a large role in helping a loved one admit that they have problems with substance abuse and getting them the help they need. One of the ways that family and friends decide to help a loved one is through an intervention. You may have seen the shows about interventions on television before. Basically what happens is that friends and family come together to show their support for someone who has substance abuse issues. Many times it can feel like an ambush, that’s why it’s important to have a strict plan in place for how the intervention will go. Flying by the seat of your pants is the wrong way to confront an addict who may get defensive or even violent.Interventions are an emotional process and it’s perfectly fine to show that you genuinely care about someone. However, it’s important to try and maintain your composure as much as possible to show your support. Tears are often inevitable but it’s important not to get to overcome with emotions. You are supposed to be part of the support system after all, so showing your inner strength can definitely be a positive influence on the person with substance abuse issues. The television shows about interventions are often more concerned with getting high viewer ratings rather than actually helping someone reach sobriety. A real intervention doesn’t have cameras all over the place because they are a distraction from the whole point of the intervention.Interventions can be extremely effective if they are done the right way. If you’re thinking about conducting an intervention for someone you care about, contact the professional addiction treatment counselors at Drug Treatment Help in Mount Prospect, IL right away. They are very knowledgeable when it comes to the right way to hold an intervention. The health and safety of your loved ones are the most important thing so getting help from a professional is a great way to improve the chances that your intervention is successful. Having a system of support in place shows an addict that they are not alone. Confronting an addict alone isn’t always the best idea because a person who is high on drugs or alcohol isn’t always predictable. A group setting is a much safer and more effective way to confront an addict. ...read more

If you watch the Discovery Channel then you’ve probably seen a show called “Moonshiners.” The series, which began its first season in 2011, follows around illegal moonshine distillers in the Appalachian Mountains. What makes the show appealing is not the colorful cast of characters in overalls, but the fact that the alcohol these guys produce is some of the most powerful stuff on the plant. The Discovery Channel needs to subtitle most of the show as the characters use their unique vernacular to explain the process of creating illegal liquor that can reach strengths of 160 proof. In comparison, the average bottle of liquor produced commercially is only around 80 proof. Viewers often seen the distillers taking long swigs of their product from bell jars as they pay homage to their ancestors who made a living moonshining during the prohibition era. The issue is that moonshine is incredibly dangerous in more ways than one. There are numerous health risks involved in not only drinking the stuff, but also making it.The process of making moonshine is fairly complex and to get it wrong can be disastrous. One of the major health concerns with moonshine is the prevalence of lead in toxic levels. Since backwoods stills are generally made from spare parts such as car radiators, then contaminates enter the batch without the distiller knowing. One of the most common ways to test moonshine is to light it on fire. Any substance over 50% alcohol will be flammable and you can use the flame color to tell a lot about your brew. An alcohol that burns with a blue flame contains a lot of ethanol, the primary ingredient in alcoholic drinks. A yellow flame indicates low levels of contaminates, while a red flame indicates that the mixture contains a significant amount of lead. All moonshine is alcoholic enough to light on fire.Since moonshine is highly combustible, it should come as no surprise that making a mistake could blow the whole still sky high. There are hundreds of stories of moonshiners doing one thing wrong and subsequently blowing themselves into oblivion. Even correctly made moonshine can still have a high level of methanol, a toxic substance which distills at a lower temperature than ethanol. Methanol can cause death and is the reason why people going blind became associated with moonshine use.Alcohol addiction is a serious problem in the United States but it can be controlled. Like moonshiners, the life of an alcoholic is entirely intertwined with booze. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse issues, call theDrug Treatment Helpline in Mount Prospect, ILas soon as possible. The trained professionals have experience treating all kinds of substance addictions and they can help you regain control over your life. ...read more
