Facts

  • Valium causes a similar change in the brain's reward-inducing dopamine cells as a dose of alcohol, morphine, amphetamine or cocaine.
  • Because individuals who take hypnotic medication to sleep often experience withdrawal from these drugs when they try and quit, they often become addicted to them and use them long-term for fear of going through withdrawal.
  • Research indicates that "huffing" may cause low birth weights, skeletal abnormalities in newborns and delayed neurological development.
  • When an individual injects, sniffs, or swallows an opiate, the drug travels quickly to the brain through the bloodstream.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days or Less) - Shellsburg

A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program offers care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The individuals live at the rehab facility and are ensured a totally alcohol and drug-free environment throughout their recovery process. While in treatment they address their troubles with drug and/or alcohol addiction while learning how to go about their life without turning to drugs to solve their problems. When the individual has finished their residential short-term treatment, they frequently continue their recovery process by heading into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Seriously addicted individuals who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from residing at a sober living home after they finish treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
