Facts

  • Most deaths as a result of inhalant abuse are due to repetitive inhalation, which can lead to extremely high concentrations of inhaled fumes, which displaces the available oxygen in the lungs.
  • The Tarnak Farm incident during WW II, in which an American F-16 pilot killed several friendly Canadian soldiers on the ground, resulted from the pilot's use of amphetamine.
  • Inhaling from a paper bag or in a closed area increases an individual's risk of suffocating to death while.
  • Methadone withdrawal can be even more severe than morphine or heroin withdrawal and can last for several weeks or more.

Lewiston, ME. - Hospital Inpatient

Any person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are focused 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 person attempting recovery requires this level of care, it is helpful to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient portion of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
