Facts
- Statistics indicate that anywhere from 125 and 203 million people worldwide have used marijuana at least once in the past year.
- OxyContin was developed and patented in 1996 and was originally prescribed in 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg tablets although in 2000 a 160 mg tablet became available.
- Unlike other drug of abuse such as cocaine and heroin, methamphetamine is produced using common household chemicals and is a man-made drug.
- The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day. Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
Residential Long-Term Rehabilitation (More Than 30 Days) - Point HarborAttending and finishing a residential long-term rehab (more than 30 days) program in Point Harbor is often the cornerstone in an addict's successful recovery from their particular struggles with drug or alcohol addiction. This type of drug treatment is much more intensive than others since the individual lives at the facility full-time throughout the treatment process. While many addicts are at first hesitant about attending a long-term program lasting longer than 30 days they soon notice the great benefit. A residential long-term treatment (more than 30 days) program provides the recovering person the time to completely withdrawal from drugs and focus on themselves. Shorter programs are not capable of this due to their brief duration.
