One objective by Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 involves reducing unhealthy and risky alcohol and other drug use by changing attitudes, knowledge, and policies, and by supporting services for prevention, screening, intervention, treatment, and recovery (Wisconsin Department of Health Services). One plan to decrease alcohol and illicit drug use is by using the process of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT). The goal of SBIRT is to target at risk individuals and intervene as more of a preventive measure before the situation increases to full on substance abuse and/ or dependency. The University of Massachusetts Medical School researched the effectiveness of having Remote Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (R-BIRT), where at risk individuals are connected with a R-BIRT interventionalist by telephone or two-way phone call to at risk patients while in the Emergency Room. The R-BIRT health coach completes an assessment, engages in brief motivational counseling, and refers the patient to follow-up if needed. The results of this exploratory study showed a positive impact. 58% of those in the study completed a consultation with the health coach, with patients who were enrolled in a model where the consult occurred during the Emergency Room visit, as opposed to after the visit, much more likely to a consult, 90% to 10%. If Emergency Departments had more of a

They meet and agree that cartels need to be stopped, so the drugs can be detained from entering the U.S, but when Wakefield asks the general what Mexico is doing for rehabilitation for addiction? The general responds nothing they eradicate themselves, they will overdose and kill themselves and that will be one less we have to worry about. When the general said this, I think it hit close to home for the Judge and he realized that could be his own daughter.

Addiction is has been around for a long time. The fear of people becoming addicted to certain substances has lead to policies changes. However, there has not been a major federal law passed that dealt with addiction in over forty years. In 2016, President Obama signed a law that covered all the major points of addiction and recovery. This topic this important to me because some of my loved ones are addicts. I may also have clients that are addicts.This paper will take a look at that law. First, we have to define a few key terms.

The building is separate in two parts: the resident treatment center “Harold Drive” and the gambling and community service center “Santiam House”. Both buildings are safe, confidential, and therapeutic. The whole treatment program is divided into three parts: residential medical program, outpatient program, and correction program.

Specifically, the grant seeks research expertise that concentrates on Hispanic’s access to health care by understanding potential disparities of the cultural barriers that may hinder access to preventative health services. As a grantee, the grantee could use the funding for the implementation of intervention studies that focus on education designed for the Hispanic community. An example may include developing an educational program to increase awareness, improve understanding of health prevention services, and share strategies for accessing the health care system. The education programs will initially occur by targeting urban housing areas with a high census of Hispanic population and then identify what venues such as recreation and resource centers are appropriate for various campaign efforts. During the outreach events, resources such as Spanish literature and interpreters are available that promote prevention health services and state and federal resources to enroll in healthcare

This program will help to bring healthcare education services closer to the people in my community. Personally, I encountered many challenges in my childhood due to poor health care services in the community. The idea of having access to a good healthcare provider was unheard of in the Latino circle because they were unreachable and expensive. Secondly, affordability of the healthcare due to high costs of having health insurance was also popular among the Latino community. For those who could access medical facilities, the challenge was related to the health insurances did not cover all their needs. These challenges were too pronounced. They influence my desire to enroll in this program because I seek to change the situation back at home. Through

Next, I am going to talk about the language’s simplicity and directness and it’s structure - how it looks like. Finally, I will try to present Hemingway’s technique, motifs and symbols on the basis of some of his well-known short stories.

If you were made to sit in front of the TV and count how many ads that mentioned beauty or anything to do with appearance you problem wouldn’t have enough fingers to count. There is thousands of products or images that mention beauty and physical attractiveness. To be honest the importance of beauty has always been around us every step of the way. For instance little girls playing with dolls or dress up is an example. We follow and look up to our mothers as role model and beauty figure.

Which is shown through baths, brushing teeth, brushing hair, and etc. The importance of appearance in our lives can determine our lifespan and can be beneficial in other ways.
