Facts
- Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will most likely be higher.
- Intramuscular heroin injection produces a slower onset of effects, taking several minutes to feel the intense rush users experience.
- Opiates which also have legitimate use in medicine but are commonly abused include morphine, meperidine, paregoric (which contains opium), and cough syrups that contain codeine.
- There were nearly 33,000 Federal arrests for drug law violations in 2004, 1,881 of which were for heroin.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program provides care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The individuals live at the rehab facility and are ensured a fully alcohol and drug-free environment throughout their recovery process. While in treatment they deal with their difficulties with drug and/or alcohol addiction while studying how to go about their life without turning to drugs to remedy their difficulties. When the individual has completed their residential short-term treatment, they frequently continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Seriously addicted people who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from living at a sober living home after they complete treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
