Facts

  • Out of the nearly 2 million substance abuse treatment admissions reported to State administrative data systems in 2008, heroin and other opiates made up the largest percentage of drug-related admissions (20.0 percent).
  • Individuals who are addicted to heroin will endure many of the withdrawal symptoms to reduce their tolerance for the drug, only so they can once again experience the rush.
  • Young adults who choose to drink while attending colleges that ban alcohol consume just as much alcohol as students at schools without a ban.
  • Methadone can be prescribed by a doctor for pain relief, but can only be prescribed for addiction treatment by physicians who liaise with methadone clinics.

Hospital Inpatient - Merrimac, Wisconsin

An individual who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are geared towards making the individual�''s withdrawal and detox as smooth as possible. 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 useful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to several weeks. Once the inpatient part of their recovery is complete they may choose to enter a sober living facility or transfer into an outpatient program.
