Facts

  • Studies indicate that youth who consume alcohol before the age of 15 are five times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who begin drinking at age 21.
  • Due to the risk for seizures and other severe complications, barbiturate withdrawal should be monitored in a medical setting.
  • Fevers associated with drug withdrawal must be closely monitored to make sure that they are not the result of an underlying infection, which should be treated immediately.
  • Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms can last one to two weeks, and are rapidly extinguished with reinstitution of antidepressant medication which is one of the reasons individuals become dependent to these drugs.

Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Alexandria, Virginia

Today, there are drug rehab centers that are made to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab centers are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment programs for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most effective pregnant/postpartum rehab facilities have integrated "household" chores (cleaning, cooking, etc.) into their curriculum so that taking care of their babies and small children goes more smoothly once they leave treatment.
