  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Before beginning an antidepressant regiment, you should be aware that certain antidepressants are more likely to cause withdrawal symptoms than others.
  • The rate of abuse of prescription drugs in the U.S. is at an all-time high, and it is estimated that over 4 million people in the nation are using prescription drugs, which includes Valium, for non-medical purposes.

Bustins Island - Spanish

Getting in a Spanish speaking drug rehab program is no different than their English speaking counterparts. In fact, a majority of Spanish speaking drug rehabilitation programs also speak English some of the time too. The staff members are often bilingual and in a position to communicate effortlessly in either language. A drug rehab that provides Spanish as a language option will present their clients with all counseling (and other types of communication), questionnaires, paperwork and educational data in both languages as necessary. These specialized drug rehabilitation centers work with individuals from all socio-economic backgrounds who are devoted to addressing their drug addiction problem. The staff at these treatment centers is typically well versed on domestic violence, aftercare counseling and job development to assist their specialized client group.
