Facts

  • Opiates activate opiate receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain and body which are part of the body's natural reward system and also relieve pain.
  • In the most severe cases, untreated alcohol withdrawal syndrome can result in death.
  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Older adults reach higher blood levels of alcohol even when drinking commensurate amounts as younger people.
