Facts

  • Misuse and abuse of alcohol is the main cause of 2.3 million years of potential life lost annually, averaging about 30 years of potential life lost for each death.
  • The abuse of prescription drugs such as OxyContin is responsible for a great deal of health care fraud, such as corrupt physicians writing prescriptions for OxyContin for nonexistent injuries. The patient in this circumstance will often use a portion of the prescribed pills and then sell the rest for a substantial profit.
  • Non-medical and illicit use of hydrocodone (alone or in combination with other drugs) accounted for 104,490 emergency room visits in 2009.
  • Studies have shown that the majority of Americans who misuse prescription psychotherapeutic drugs also engage in other illicit drug use as well.

Brownsville, Tennessee - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detox before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not performed in a setting which can offer appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detoxification services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can appropriately oversee and provide medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services frequently include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the particular person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some type of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehab facility which can offer detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to guarantee that any issues are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
