- Most states require that a doctor document any methadone which is being dispensed for pain but not for the treatment of drug addiction, and all physicians with appropriate Drug Enforcement Agency registration may prescribe methadone for pain control.
- Opiates can make a person feel nauseous, even someone who has been given opiates by a doctor which is one of the reasons many people don't like taking them.
Atkinson - Native American Or Alaska Native LanguagesThere are specialized drug treatment programs that offer their services in Native American or Alaska native languages. These rehabilitation centers offer the same quality treatment to all their clients while also offering all counseling/therapy, questionnaires, enrollment documents and educational materials in the client's native language. The staff at the drug rehabilitation facility will likely be bilingual and able to communicate in English or their Native American or Alaska native languages. The overall goal of all rehab programs is to return the client to their family, friends and community drug-free and able to stand on their own two feet. Recovery from drug abuse and addiction is a difficult journey, but one that will change the person and restore happiness into their life.
