Facts
- Opiate addicted individuals need higher and higher amounts of opiates in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms and to maintain their feelings of euphoria.
- Opana overdose will often result in the following symptoms: pinpoint pupils, stupor, difficult or slow breathing, slowed pulse, nausea, vomiting, constipation, flaccid muscles, low blood pressure, extreme fatigue, blue fingernails and lips, spasms of the stomach or intestinal tract, palpitations, coma, apnea, circulatory collapse, bradycardia, hypotension, cardiac arrest or death.
- Severe muscle contractions which result from PCP use may cause bone fracture and even kidney damage or failure as a consequence of muscle cells breaking down.
- Demerol addiction withdrawal symptoms usually last 7 to 10 days. Individuals who are unaware they have a Demerol addiction may respond to the pain of withdrawal by taking another dose of Demerol.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
As a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug treatment center is often an overwhelming task. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend a traditional drug rehab. Many specialized and age appropriate drug treatment centers have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to drug addiction recovery. Substance abuse professionals who are trained in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your child and guide them through their recovery process.
