Facts

  • Withdrawal symptoms associated with methadone can include but are not limited to body aches and muscle cramping, back aches, leg kicking, anxiety, chills, shivering or trembling, abdominal cramping, weakness, increased blood pressure, convulsions, insomnia, diarrhea, running nose, watery eyes, sneezing, sweating, pale and clammy skin, nausea and thoughts of suicide.
  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • As with most medications for mental illnesses, sudden cessation of antipsychotic medication is not recommended without medical supervision.
  • The average age of people being admitted to treatment for heroin during 2007 was 36 years old.

Oberlin - Criminal Justice Clients

Drug treatment is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the treatment they need, there are some steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a recovery rehabilitation program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Oberlin, Louisiana criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health problems, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
