Facts

  • Methadone withdrawal can be up to twice as severe as morphine or heroin withdrawal and can last for several weeks or more.
  • Studies indicate that long-term methamphetamine use may result in extensive damage to the serotonin-containing nerve cells in the body, leading to long-term sleep deprivation.
  • Nearly all inhalants produce short-term effects that are extremely similar to anesthetics, which work to slow down mechanisms within the body.
  • Methadone is known for its calming effect, and much like heroin relieves feelings of anxiety and replaces this with feelings of warmth, relaxation and detachment.

Adolescents - Meddybemps, Maine

As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug treatment center can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug treatment facility. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehabilitation centers have been created to focus on adolescents and their distinct requirements pertaining to substance abuse treatment. Substance abuse professionals who are skilled in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
