Facts

  • Major League Baseball players are no longer allowed to use amphetamines as of 2006, a ban which is enforced through periodic drug-testing.
  • Studies indicate that Ecstasy users suffer short-term and long-term verbal memory impairment, with 70-80% of ecstasy users displaying significantly impaired memory.
  • Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will most likely be higher.
  • Depression is a common withdrawal symptom that long-time amphetamine users will experience after cessation of use.

Westbury, NY. - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can correctly oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services usually include insuring the individual is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can offer detox services, the person will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to make certain that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
