Facts

  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Use of cocaine increases body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate.
  • The Drug Enforcement Administration reported 2,273 arrests for opiates including heroin during 2004.

Lauderdale - Criminal Justice Clients

Drug or alcohol rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients sentence for the crime they have committed. In order to get these clients the treatment they need, there are some specific steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug rehab program. First, they need to find out if they are eligible for drug rehab during their time in the Lauderdale, Mississippi criminal justice system. Their case is reviewed by a panel who determines if they are in need of rehabilitation and if so how much and what type is required. Additionally, when they are evaluated for substance abuse problems, the client is also screened for mental health problems as well. Their drug addiction problem, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous substance abuse history are all determining factors in the creation of a criminal justice treatment plan.
