New Hampshire's War on Drugs
Addiction
Drug abuse is running rampant throughout NH as well as the rest of our Country. In Nashua alone, while driving down Kinsley St., passing through the "Tree" streets, addict's hang out outside of the corner stores begging for money, or just waiting for their dealer's to stop by. From Kinsley St. to Central St., they're everywhere.
There just isn't enough substance abuse programs in NH to even put a dent in NH's substance abuse epidemic. The Dealer's in NH need to be stopped at the Ma. border. People call in tips to their local Police every day, but there is still no end in sight.
When the Police know for sure that people are running across the border to buy their illegal drugs, why aren't those people followed? Doesn't it make more sense to stop the big guy by following the little guy to the supplier's in Ma.? The Police can catch all the little guy's, but more will take their place.
Doctor's in NH have finally been ordered to stop over prescribing pain pills to their patients, but in many cases it's too late. Many of the patients have become addicted and now hunt down illegal drugs because their Doctor's won't help them with the addictions they helped cause. Does 120 pain pills every two week's sound at all normal? Who wouldn't get addicted? Shouldn't these Doctor's be held responsible for their addicted patients? Yes, they should, but they instead drop the patient's like a hot potato in fear that they will be held accountable. The patient ask's the Doctor for help with the addiction and they refuse.They choose not to help the addicted patient and tell them to find another Doctor. The patient try's to get help, but doesn't get accepted into substance abuse programs because the Doctor doesn't want to be found out. The Doctor doesn't want to be held responsible for the addiction he/she caused. When Doctor's cause addiction, it's up to the Doctor's to fix the mess they've made, not throw the patient to the wolves.
So where does the addict go from here when their own Doctor won't help? To the Street's, where else. Addiction not only affect's the addict. It affect's entire families. It affects us all!

Detoxification - dose, causes, effects, therapy, withdrawal, drug, examples, person
Detoxification - dose, causes, effects, therapy, withdrawal, drug, examples, person:
Note: Substance abuse is running rampant throughout our Country, therefore I feel the need to address it as often as possible. For the people fighting their addictions and looking for help, here is an article which describes detoxification. As you will see, Medical Detox is used to help the addict with withdrawl symptoms. There is help. That is if the addict chooses the right Medical Detox facility. The purpose of Medical Detox is to make the addict feel comfortable while cleansing their body of these toxin's. It is NOT meant to make the addict feel worse.
Detoxification is a process in which the body is allowed to free itself of a drug. During this period, the symptoms of withdrawal are also treated. Detoxification is the primary step in any drug treatment program, and is used as the initial phase in treating alcohol, heroin, inhalant, sedative, and hypnotic addictions.

Precautions
When individuals are physically dependent on a substance, they experience withdrawal symptoms when they abstain from the drug. Withdrawal symptoms vary with each drug of abuse, but can be severe, and even dangerous. Patients who want to overcome their dependence need help managing the withdrawal symptoms. The patient's medical team strives to get the patient off a substance on which he or she is physically dependent, while treating the withdrawal symptoms.Read more:

Constitutional Amendment Introduced to Protect Children and Parents
June 18, 2013
I am very excited to announce that we were just able to send out the following press release announcing the introduction of the Parental Rights Amendment in the 113th Congress:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE // June 18, 2013 // Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) today introduced a resolution in the U.S. House to amend the United States Constitution to protect children and parents from governmental overreach. The proposed Parental Rights Amendment already has 40 original cosponsors. ParentalRights.org leads grassroots support for the measure.
“In a time when longstanding truths and traditions are being tested, we must safeguard the right of parents to direct their children’s upbringing and education,” Meadows explained. “This amendment to our Constitution would ensure that these decisions are made not by faceless bureaucrats but by parents who love their children and know them best.”
Constitutional lawyer and ParentalRights.org president Michael Farris agrees. “Traditionally the Supreme Court has held that fit parents make decisions that are in their child’s best interests. But that presumption is being eroded today in our courts and in U.N. conventions. More and more, judges are making decisions based on what they think is best for the child, rather than respecting the natural right of loving parents to make that call.”
The proposed amendment would establish, in part, that “[t]he liberty of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children is a fundamental right.” Other sections establish a high legal standard to protect these rights and a safeguard against international law overriding the parental role. This is the fourth consecutive Congress in which the measure has been introduced.
Support for the Parental Rights Amendment has increased through a number of high-profile incidents in recent months, including a California case in which Child Protective Services removed a baby from his parents’ custody because they sought a second medical opinion prior to heart surgery. And more recently, a bill that would assign a government worker to oversee every child from birth is being considered in Scotland in response to their obligations under the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child. Parental rights supporters believe the proposed amendment will keep such laws from ever being adopted here.
More information on the proposed Amendment, including the full text and a current list of cosponsors, is available at ParentalRights.org. (End press release.)

Changing a System: Child Protective Services (2 of 6)
Changing a System: Child Protective Services (2 of 6) - We Are 1776 : We Are 1776:
[Please note that this is the second of six articles concerning the Child Protective Services. Read the first here.]
There is clear evidence why such changes, and more, must be made to the system in order to preserve it. First of all, let’s look at the numbers. In 2001, there were 5,000,000 cases reported to the Child Protective Services of those 5,000,000 cases, 903,000 were confirmed to be victims of abuse. Of all of the victims of abuse, as of September 30, 2001, 542,000 children were placed in foster care with an average age of 10 and an average stay of three years. That is an increase in 48% since 1990. In 1999, the total costs associated with maltreatment were $14.4 billion and the direct cost of maltreatment (i.e. CPS, hospitals, etc.) was $24.3 billion in 2001.

[Please note that this is the first of 6 concerning the Child Protective Services.]
The Child Protective Services has come under much criticism in recent months. One high profile abuse case even led to the passage of an audit in the State of California. Perhaps it is time to reform the system and change the laws surrounding the Child Protective Services. As of right now, the actions that the Child Protective Services take are a mystery. Nobody really has access to their records; an individual, off the street, cannot gain access to their records. Reform is necessary, to use the cliche, “for the children.” There are several changes which must be made to the Child Protective Services.
