Facts
- Most LSD which can be purchased in the United States is produced in illicit laboratories, with only a minute amount of the drug being legally manufactured for use in research.
- Mixing fentanyl with heroin or other drugs such as cocaine greatly increases the potency of the drug and potential dangers.
- Use of methamphetamine often results in mental confusion which can impair one's ability to take medications that have been prescribed for HIV infection or other conditions, worsening the illness and outcome of the illness.
- The withdrawal symptoms associated with use of crystal meth are the same as the regular powder form of methamphetamine, but in some cases more severe with hallucinations, paranoid ideation and toxic psychosis.
Hospital Inpatient - GilmanA person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by attending a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are geared 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 beneficial to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to even up to a month. Once the hospital inpatient portion of their recovery is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
