Facts
- OxyContin is highly expensive on the street, and can sell for as much as $80 for one pill.
- Due to depression and dysphoria that can be caused by stimulant withdrawal, psychological and/or medical management is critical.
- The primary psychoactive effects of PCP last for only a few hours, although its total elimination rate from the body typically lasts for eight days or longer.
- The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day. Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
Hospital Inpatient - North YarmouthAn individual who is severely 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 drug addict requires this level of care, it is beneficial to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to even up to a month. Once the hospital inpatient portion of their treatment plan is finished they may choose to enter a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
