Facts
- Typical physical symptoms of drug withdrawal include changes in body temperature, fever, excessive sweating, abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting.
- Methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms which are common can include fatigue, depression anxiety, irritability, headaches, agitation, an inability to remain still, excessive sleeping, vivid or lucid dreams, deep REM sleep and suicidal ideation and an increased appetite.
- Use of barbiturates decreases REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, during which dreaming takes place, and therefore withdrawal often results in sleep disruptions such as nightmares, insomnia, or vivid dreaming.
- PCP's effects are often unpredictable and some users report feeling the drug's effects for days.
Other Languages - AlbrightAlthough finding a drug rehab program can seem like a difficult task, finding one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days many treatment centers employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have identified a rehab program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility of delivering their services other languages during treatment. Although they may not initially have the capability to provide their services in other languages they might be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Often the facility will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
