Facts

  • PCP is a synthetic drug known as a "dissociative" drug, distorting perceptions of sight and sound and producing feelings of detachment.
  • 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.
  • Studies indicate that tolerance and dependence develop at a similar rate with both heroin and Opana use.
  • The fentanyl patch is a slow-release form of the drug, and is 100 times more potent than morphine.

Lexington - Residential Short-Term Rehabilitation (30 Days or Less)

A residential short-term treatment (30 days or less) program supplies care 24 hours a day 7 days a week for an average of 30 days (or less) depending on the treatment center. The individuals stay at the rehab facility and are ensured a completely alcohol and drug-free environment through their recovery process. While in treatment they handle their troubles with drug and/or alcohol addiction while learning how to go about their life without turning to substances to remedy their issues. When the client has finished their residential short-term treatment, they generally continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Greatly addicted people who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from residing at a sober living home after they complete treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
