Many people have heard of BAC levels, and what can happen if they're too high and law enforcement gets involved, but not everyone understands how the process works. BAC levels are used to determine if a person should be able to operate a motor vehicle legally. How this determination is made consists of several parts and processes. The Alcohol Addiction Center's guide will explain what BAC is, why it's important to know your level before making decisions, and what the consequences of some of those decisions might be.

Drug Addiction

Addiction is a growing concern in the United States. People often use drugs as an outlet for their problems, although drug use creates its own problems over time.
