If you’ve been charged with a drug crime in New Hampshire, chances are you have a long road ahead of you. In this case, drug treatment is often necessary to prevent further ill-effects, including problems with your work and ruined relationships with your loved ones. The National Institute on Drug Abuse offers the following insight so that people with substance abuse issues can get the help they need.
How can I get treatment for drug abuse?
Falls can be fatal for older people
On paper, falls can sound innocuous. In reality, they can cause serious injuries, including broken bones and head injuries. In some cases they can even be fatal. Older people are at particular risk for being seriously injured in a slip-and-fall accident. This is because older people can lack the reflexes to catch themselves before they fall. And our bones can get more brittle as we age, increasing the likelihood that a fall will cause a fracture. For some, just the fear of falling can be enough to keep them from venturing out. This lack of activity can lead to weakness and lack of balance, making a fall even more likely.
Winter increases risk of slip and fall accidents
Winters in New Hampshire can be brutal, with lots of snow, ice and freezing temperatures. These conditions also increase the chances of slips and falls which can result in serious injuries. When these accidents happen on a business's property, the owner may be liable for the damages, especially if there was negligence on his or her part.
