General Discussion / Types of Rehab for Drug and Alcohol Addiction

« on: May 08, 2024, 03:25:23 am »

Drug rehabilitation is designed to help people recover from drug and alcohol addiction. The intensity and length of services for any treatment program can be tailored to each person’s needs since no single treatment type will be right for everyone.1 Addiction is a chronic condition, but with successful treatment and management, recovery is possible.2 Recovery can take time and may benefit from a spectrum of treatment supports. Recovery support often starts with a period of supervised detoxification, follows with some combination of continued outpatient and/or residential care, then continues with various aftercare efforts. There are several benefits to seeking rehabilitation for substance use disorders. Trained staff is available to help support patients during the recovery process, assisting with any co-occurring mental health issues and offering guidance on what steps to take and what tools to use to create and sustain a drug-free life. Finding the right drug and alcohol rehabilitation center is an important part of recovery. This article will explore various types of rehab, levels of addiction treatment, what to expect from treatment, and how to find the right addiction treatment program.
What Are the Different Levels of Addiction Treatment?
There are different levels of addiction treatment. When needed to manage withdrawal from substances such as opioids, alcohol, and sedating drugs such as benzodiazepines, treatment begins with medical detoxification.3 Since withdrawal management alone is not a substitute for more comprehensive rehabilitation, once a person has safely detoxed, they are encouraged to continue with additional treatment. Upon completion of treatment, an aftercare plan will be devised that includes relapse prevention tools and other means of post-treatment support. Determining the right treatment plan is an important part of recovering from addiction.1 One factor considered in addiction treatment is the level of care a person may require or benefit the most from. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has developed the most widely used and comprehensive set of criteria used by treatment professionals to place patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions in the right level of care.4,5 Based on patient assessment across these criteria, there may be several potentially appropriate levels of care at various stages of a person’s recovery journey, including:4,5
Various outpatient services, including intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP).
Clinically managed residential services at varying levels of intensity.
Medically monitored or managed intensive inpatient services.
Addiction is a chronic but treatable medical condition.6 A person may be diagnosed with a substance use disorder (SUD) if they have met several criteria dictated by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), 5th Edition, used by clinicians to determine treatment. The full 11 criteria used to diagnose a substance use disorder are organized in groups that, when present, demonstrate:7
Impaired control over use of the substance.
Social impairment because of substance use.
Risky use of the substance.
Pharmacological phenomenon related to the substance (i.e., substance tolerance; substance withdrawal).
As evidenced by the several potential levels of care outlined by the ASAM, addiction treatment is viewed as a complex process that involves many methods of treatment and intervention.

Offbeat Relish / How can businesses use NFTs?

« on: July 25, 2023, 04:12:03 am »

There are many ways businesses can use NFTs. Much of this depends on the business model and what they are trying to accomplish. One way for businesses to use NFTs is for loyalty purposes.

Let me give an example of a business that is using NFTs to gain customer loyalty. The name of the company is Special K Glass and they have been in business since 1999. They specialize in glass blowing and typically sell bongs. In fact, they are the biggest bong seller in the state of Oregon.

Here's what they are doing to utilize NFTs.

Mint 10,000 NFTs and make a 5 tier system.
Each tier will give additional benefits compared to its lower tier.
The highest tiers have all of the benefits of the lower tiers.
The lowest tier gives access to a members only website with unique giveaways. Tier 2 gives a 50% discount on all products. Tier 3 provides the “forever bong” a durable bong that is replaced if broken (no questions asked). Tier 4 allows customers to buy custom artwork and Tier 5 gives in person glass blowing lessons.
Customers get the benefit of an exclusive club that is limited according to the NFT holders and the business receives the money upfront. And if the customer gets tired of the business they can sell the NFT to someone else. Pretty cool!

General Discussion / Developing a peer 2 peer video sharing software to multiple people.

« on: July 31, 2022, 09:13:15 pm »

I'm a programmer and I'm developing a software that is going to be running from say someone's desktop or a terminal and sending data/video to someone other people. There is going to be more than 1 but only one "streamer" who will send same data t oall those people in real-time. The topology is supposed to be p2p.

One idea I had to solve the issue was to use something like i2p and udp streaming data thru i2p to other users (after exchanging i2p addresses). While this might work, the issue I am having is that this method sends the same data to many people, increasing bandwidth load by multiples (data times x). So a solution I came up with in my head was to do this in a ring topology, where user A connects to user B who connects to user C and so on....all the way to the server. All of these connections will be using i2p. And then the 'streamer' sends data down which is streamed down to all the 'recievers'. The thing is, its not going to be real time at all, and its going to be very slow, because its i2p + overhead of all these computers. And also there will be other issues like what if a user disconnects?

General Discussion / The Best Way Of Betting On Football

« on: July 20, 2022, 09:48:23 pm »

After conducting extensive research, below are six steps to bet on football or soccer. Of course, Betacular could be correlated to one of the Best Football Betting sites in India.

1) Lay the draw: This happens to be the most popular trading system on the net. By being terse this means this strategy involves laying a draw on an exchange much before the match starts and then trading out in-play during the game. For instance, there are two scenarios 
If after the Full time the score is 2-0 or 1-0, you get to exit      with a profit.
And if after FT there is a draw then, you can exit without losing      your entire stake

The intention behind this strategy is to follow a match and decide how defensive or open it is. Then you start trading based on the current situation and in what way the market moves. It is a bane and a boon that there are so many online betting sites for football.

2) Take the advice of a top tipster: as a matter of fact, there are a number of top tipsters however there are only a few who can fetch you money like the following:

-> Predictology: This is a database of resources and statistics on betting on football. You can leverage this to develop your football strategies. And if you do not want to develop your strategies, then you can shell out some money and go for a custom-made one. Betacular wins hands down as the best betting site for soccer.
-> Football advisor: This is a famous and impressive name in football betting. They offer betting services to people. Their bets mainly come from European Leagues and some big tournaments like World Cup. One will be spoilt for choice that there are so many best soccer gambling sites.
-> Bookie Insiders football: they are a team of gamblers and have a good reputation as top tipsters. They are operating for eight years, and specialize in European Leagues. I am sure that you would agree with me after your research that Betacular is the best online football betting site.

3) Inculcate a Niche: In case you do not want to heed the advice of the tipsters then, you have to concentrate on a specialist niche like correct score markets, corner markets, and over and under bets. In this way, you can win football bets consistently. There are many online soccer betting sites in India so do your homework as many do not have licenses and are not regulated.

4) Always follow low-scoring teams: in games like football, some teams always win with a margin of 1-0 or 2-0. For instance, Atletico Madrid won 31 percent of their matches with this score. This depends on the coach. The score markets are mainly priced according to the supremacy more than the way they actually play. As an example teams like French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek are the best places to find low-scoring teams.

5) Trade the soccer markets: another approach to profiting from football is to place in play bets instead of pre-match bets. There is a lot of liquidity in soccer markets in major leagues. Trading is good here because one can move between trades and still secure very good value.
