Facts
- Methadone maintenance treatment clinics have been hampered by government regulations that require most patients to come to the clinic a minimum of five days a week, making it difficult for individuals who are taking part in these programs to maintain employment.
- Older adults who began consuming alcohol earlier in life tend to have worse treatment outcomes than those who began drinking later in life.
- There is no pre-determined length of treatment time for individuals taking part in a program at long-term inpatient drug rehabs, because they progress through treatment at various rates.
- Long term and excessive alcohol consumption causes liver cirrhosis (damage to liver cells); pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas); various cancers, including liver, mouth, throat, larynx (the voice box), and esophagus; high blood pressure; and psychological disorders.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment facilities that are created to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab centers cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation facilities for pregnant/postpartum women typically offer individualized programs that incorporate a great amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining the highest level of medical attention available. Many life skills are also incorporated into facilities developed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation programs have included "household" chores (cleaning, cooking, etc.) into their curriculum so that taking care of their babies and small children goes more smoothly once they leave treatment.
