Facts
- When "Methadone Treatment" was first put into use to treat opiate addiction, it was meant to be a 20-day process, although methadone treatment facilities are currently run based on their profitability which keeps individuals on methadone indefinitely.
- Opiate addicted individuals often cannot hold jobs and may even be involved in crime to pay for their addiction.
- The visual distortions produced by LSD are often referred to as "pseudo-hallucinations" because people are aware that what they are seeing is not real due to the effects of the drug.
- Users of Ecstasy will typically feel the effects of the drug in 30-60 minutes after consumption, hitting a peak at approximately 1-1.5 hours, reaching a plateau that lasts about 2-3 hours, followed by a comedown of a few hours, which may be accompanied by fatigue and minor effects.
Adolescents - CrockettAs a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab center can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional treatment in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug addiction treatment facilities have been developed to focus on adolescents and their distinct requirements pertaining to drug addiction rehabilitation. Substance abuse professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your loved one and guide them through their recovery process.
