Facts
- Heroin withdrawal is not fatal for healthy adults, but can be fatal to the fetus of a pregnant addict.
- When a mother takes antidepressants to treat her depression symptoms, the fetus shares the medication with the mother. When the baby is born and deprived of the drug, they are at risk for neonatal withdrawal syndrome.
- Over 9% percent of high school seniors in the United States have used hallucinogens other than LSD, a category that includes magic mushrooms, at least once in their lifetime.
- Methadone often takes 20 to 24 hours to leave the body once it's been taken, but this can vary from person to person.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
An individual who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are focused towards physical health, mental health and medical stabilization. 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 useful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient part of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
