Facts

  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • The rate of emergency room department visits during 2009 in which cocaine was a factor was highest among individuals aged 35-44.
  • Treatment for alcoholism may lead to a reduced need for future health care services and can also reduce overall medical costs.
  • Most long-term marijuana users who experience withdrawal from sudden cessation of use begin smoking the drug again again to reduce symptoms.
