Facts
- The likelihood of being killed in single-vehicle crashes increases dramatically at a blood alcohol level that a 140-lb. woman would reach after having one drink on an empty stomach.
- Severe side effects associated with use of Opana may include slow heartbeat, shallow breathing, cold and clammy skin, confusion, uncoordinated muscle movements, light-headedness, abnormal thinking, inability to urinate, memory loss, insomnia, severe weakness, fainting, convulsions, seizures and death.
- Opana withdrawal can induce both physical and psychological symptoms, all of which can be extremely unpleasant and are usually experienced shortly before the time of the next scheduled dose, but they can occur as early as four to six hours after the last administration of the drug.
- Most long-term marijuana users who experience withdrawal from sudden cessation of use begin smoking the drug again again to reduce symptoms.
Goodwine - Hospital InpatientAny person who is severely addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by receiving treatment from 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 requires this level of care, it is helpful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to even up to a month. Once the hospital inpatient part of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to enter a sober living facility or transfer into an outpatient program.
