- Long term marijuana users typically site lower levels of satisfaction on measures of quality of life.
- Methadone often takes 20 to 24 hours to leave the body once it's been taken, but this can vary from person to person.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
A person who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending 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 person attempting recovery requires this level of care, it is beneficial 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 recovery is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living facility or transfer into an outpatient program.
