Alcohol is one of the very few drugs where quitting cold turkey after a long period of heavy addiction can prove fatal.

Yes really Ang. If an addict decides to get sober, giving some rehab aid makes sense. Forcing them to get sober through incarceration doesn't work. First off there is that whole profit thing. They manage to get high in prison also. At least occasionally.
Coming into Lansing on hwy 7 from KC you will see a big billboard advertising for correctional officers. Starting pay is 15 an hour. 25 miles S. W. at Edgerton is an intermodal where warehouse people are being started at 18-20. More signs. Wonder who is bringing drugs into our prisons?
Meanwhile in spite of all the tax dollars, the addict gets released and two hours later he is high again. So he fails the urine test his P.O. gives him and goes back to prison. Eventually all his time is served and he is just released unsupervised. COMPLETE waste of tax dollars.

In addition to general withdrawal symptoms, alcohol withdrawal symptoms can include: heart palpitations, hallucinations, seizures and delirium tremens (DT's). The seizures and the DT's can be fatal.
Withdrawal from benzodiazepine drugs like Xanax and Valium can also be fatal.

trapdog, treatment for alcohol withdrawal is often ethanol introduced intravenously. cold turkey can shut down organs

This brings up another point I have been thinking about. Doctor licensing and the oath they take to treat anyone and everyone regardless of the ability or notion to pay the bill. So, because of their ethical conviction, the cost of the deadbeats is spread out to others. As far as I know, this is a fact. So, why do we as a government mandate the doctors obtain licensing, and demand that they have this oath of ethics? I could care less about the doctors ethics. I would like to pay for the services rendered to me, and if his ethics demand that be treat others for free, the charity can come from his.own heart and wallet. You will be stabilized and then be moved to a welfare (State run or contracted hospital) never seen dead bodies outside of a hospital in all my years! LOL Oh the drama the mind can create! The one I dealt with last night was given outstanding treatment and better care then I have ever received with no cost spared that including a expense transfer for better free care that they will never ever pay for. Or the one you narcan and save, then they walk out of the ER AMA just to be found in the parking lot face down. NARCAN wears off before the opiates do! lol - opiates stores and released out the liver got him. There aren't any answers I don't think cause society isn't going to let people die or turn them away from care. if I am called they get treated -- Only answer I can think of is we start executing drug dealers, that would put a hamper on it, not end it but you would see it curbed! China does this, why cant we? oh yeah because we are a society that grew up on disney movies, and emotions, we have this crazy belief that the world can live in peace and harmony, love your fellow human type stuff. As a society we have grown way soft, liberalism progressive whatever -- to a point we hand out free needles to drug addicts - -

if we execute drug dealers we need to start with the unbelievably rich heads of criminal organizations, then elected officials, then judges, then law enforcement mixed up in the drug trade before we start executing addicts paying for their habit which is 99.9% of "dealers" in U. S. prisons.

Many call it a victimless crime and they never consider who pays for the services and hospital fees that are racked up every day by poor choices! Just seen one that is going to end up with a quarter of a million hospital bill or around that before it's all over maybe more! That bill will never get paid ever by that person and has already cost the system millions in services and aid costs already.
It's just going to get worse with the, (there are no consequences) thinking many have today! also many of the crimes committed that go along with dopers-burglary, thefts, etc. cause lord knows they are too disabled to get a job

Alcohol is very bad I have seen some crazy stuff one guy said the bugs were lifting the paint off of the floor then 10 minutes later said he knew that was not possible then 10 minutes later they were doing it again. The guy functioned at above 3.0 level daily it only seemed to impair his fine motor skills (he could walk a straight line OK but the turns were rough).
About anything can happen during DTs, druggers have similar issued they will tear their skin off if you let them or smash their own heads into a wall that's when a restraint chair is needed.
Guys like that you take up for a shot that helps them from doing anything really stupid.

Your taking it the other way Angie you tell me you don't know people that have lived off or the system their whole life that are dependent on the system that came from the same and will continue the produce the same? Really The cities are full of them. Come on your from IL too you cannot be serious!
Have not used your insurance in 20 years is that because you have been that healthy or not willing to pay the deductible that was the point I was making. It cost me $3,000 for my deductible my relative on aid who's husband won't better his life for fear of losing the free money that lives off of the Sister in law can walk into the ER like a Dr. Visit that insured people have to pay for because she won't better her life. Not looking at it as a Cop looking at it as a guy that works and pays his taxes I just see the waste more then the people that don't want to see it. Your paying your bill the point was many never plan to pay and the ones that will pay are not the problem. It often comes down to if you have nothing to lose and you don't pay what can they take!
As far as the needle hand out or letting people with behavioral issue medicate themselves that a responsibility that many cannot handle on their own it's ripe for abuse. You really think to get high a user won't share a needle and I can't tell you how many people that are acting out are "off their meds". Can't tell you how many people want their meds and when they are being entered into the system only the feel good meds are important the ones for their health are often full and sometimes expired even but the feel good are needed like clock work and more if they can get them any way they can.
You keep making the abuser a victim no problem but don't get upset with me when I point out the reality of how the system works later on that is what I see every day. You see it as they have no choice I see it as a self induced problem and the results of that choice. I don't ignore your side (I may not understand it I already admitted that) people have problem and I treat them well, but I know how it works on my end the "down stream" results is all I'm pointing out you can't just ignore that because you don't like it. You never see me use the word all unless I make that mistake as people are individuals that make their own choices some better then others.

S. prisons. I'd have to mostly disagree with this too. I've never met a dealer of hard drugs, that did the drugs he sold. Weed...yes. Crack, coke, smack.... no. They tend to live in suburbia, with white picket fences, 2.5 kids, and a dog. I think the major exception to that is meth. Meth heads seem to sell meth. Coke, crack and heroin heads rarely sell the drug they're addicted to.
