Known side effects as a result of opiate use are slurred speech, diminished coordination and difficulty concentrating.
Opiate addicted individuals should receive professional opiate detox services to help them through the potentially dangerous withdrawal process.
Drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms may be even more dramatic when these substances have masked prolonged malnutrition, disease, chronic pain, or sleep deprivation.
Long-term methamphetamine users often lose their ability to relate to others socially.
