'''The Lowdown on [http://www.addictionsearch.com/Drug Rehabilitation]'''
Drug addiction is one of the prominent iconic symbols and a pressing
predicament that perpetually induces grave problems on the 21st century
society. It is true that despite numerous efforts by the government and
various independent social institutions, apparent and significant drug
abuse-related problems continue to linger on within the crevices of
modern society. One potent and already feasible solution to this on-going
problem is placing drug-dependent individuals on a rehab program.
However, it must be stressed that complete rehabilitation that aims to rid
an individual from any signs of drug craving is extremely a complex
process.
Take a Rail: Fast Facts on Heroin
A plethora of various illegal substances have been bombarding society
for the past decade. However, the most common or typically used illegal
drug substance which is the culprit behind most drug addiction cases
comes in the form of heroin.
Also known in the streets and dark alleys as Crank, Smack, Junk, and H,
heroin is made from morphine, which is an innate substance in the
seedpod of the Asian poppy plant. This drug typically appears as a brown or
white powder which can be intravenously injected, snorted, or smoked.
Major known health risks include heart infections, HIV/AIDS from
needle-sharing, hepatitis, miscarriages for pregnant women, and even death
from overdose. Constant intake of [http://www.addictionsearch.com/ Heroin] can also lead to tolerance. This
simply means that heroin users, in due time, will require increasing
dosage of this drug to achieve its intended effect on the body. This, in
turn, will lead to serious drug dependence which ultimately leads to an
insatiable addiction.
The Essentials of Drug Rehab 
The first and also the very crucial factor of making a drug
rehabilitation successful is the individual's firm commitment and strict
compliance with the rehab's pre-designed program. This individual's sincere
"will" to submit himself/herself to the program is only a quarter of the
essential necessities in successfully overcoming drug addiction. In
addition to this firm will and determination, an adequate dose of medical or
in some cases psychological treatment, must be administered to
compliment the individual's endeavor to successfully kick drugs out of his/her
system. Lastly, each individual has his or her own respective reasons
for resorting to [http://www.addictionsearch.com/drug abuse]; however, no matter what the reason may be,
it has been pointed out that family and friends or any from of
confidant plays a very crucial role in aiding this individual to succeed in
his/her drug rehab endeavors.

Microformats Wiki

Hello! Welcome to the microformats wiki. If you haven't already done so, please see the introduction page.

Please read how-to-play before making any edits.

Please read process before proposing any new microformats.

Getting Started

First, read up on what it means to be posh new!.

What are microformats? What can you do with them?

The about page, latest news, plus recent press, presentations, books, podcasts, and screencasts are also good places for some background information. Our cheatsheets are handy if you need a quick reminder about a particular microformat. We even have a spell-check dictionary of microformat-related terms.

Frequently asked questions about this wiki and microformats in general are answered in the FAQ, and there is a glossary.

Want to learn more in person? Check out microformats events.

Definition

One popular definition from our mailing list (see also: mailing-lists) is "simple conventions for embedding semantics in HTML to enable decentralized development." More precisely, microformats can be defined as:

simple conventions
for embedding semantic markup
for a specific problem domain
in human-readable (X)HTML/XML documents, Atom/RSS feeds, and "plain" XML
that normalize existing content usage patterns
using brief, descriptive class names
often based on existing interoperable standards
to enable decentralized development
of resources, tools, and services

Simply put: "Microformats are a codification of convention." -- Aaron Gustafson

"Or do you just use your browser to browse? That's so 20th century." -- Mark Pilgrim

How to contribute

Do you want to help take microformats to the next level? You can:

Specifications

Microformats open standards specifications (see also: implementations, examples-in-the-wild)

Drafts

Design Patterns

Design patterns are common uses of markup across microformats.

Exploratory Discussions

Per the microformats process: research and analysis of real-world examples, existing formats, and brainstorming to motivate the microformat. Please check rejected-formats before making additions.

Examples

Tools, Test Cases and Additional Research

The first place to look for examples, code, and test cases is in the pages for each individual microformat. There are only a few cross-cutting tools and services that need to process more than one microformat. This section is intended for editors, parsers, validators, test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.
