- Opiates act directly on the respiratory center in the brainstem, causing a slow in activity resulting in a decrease in breathing rate.
- Morphine is currently available as an oral solution, immediate and sustained-release tablets or capsules, suppositories, and injectable preparations.
- The intensity and duration of opiate withdrawal varies greatly depending on the dose and speed of withdrawal. Short-acting opiates, such as heroin, tend to produce more intense but briefer symptoms.
Walker - Criminal Justice ClientsDrug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to provide these clients the rehabilitation they need, there are a few steps that should be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol rehab facility. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Walker, Kentucky criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who decides if they are in need of drug treatment services and if so how much and what type is needed. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health issues, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
