Facts

  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • Intramuscular heroin injection produces a slower onset of effects, taking several minutes to feel the intense rush users experience.
  • Heroin withdrawal is not fatal for healthy adults, but can be fatal to the fetus of a pregnant addict.
  • Pure forms of crack will melt at the edges when near a flame and vaporizes at 194 degrees F.

Hospital Inpatient - Avella

A person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are geared towards making the individual�''s withdrawal and detox as smooth as possible. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every drug addict needs this level of care, it is beneficial to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the inpatient portion of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to enter a sober living facility or transfer into an outpatient program.
