Facts
- Over 60% of high school seniors report having been drunk and 31% report having had five or more drinks in a row containing alcohol in the last two weeks.
- Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
- When someone has taken a particularly large dose of opiates they may not be able to be awakened, their pupils become smaller, and their skin becomes cold, moist, and bluish in color. Breathing slows and death can occur.
- Some prescription drug theft from pharmacies as a result of employees stealing these drugs. On one occasion for example, a young female stole more than 49,000 doses of hydrocodone before being caught.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
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 clients live at the rehab facility and are ensured a totally alcohol and drug-free environment for the duration of their recovery process. While in treatment they handle their troubles with drug and/or alcohol addiction while finding out how to go about their life without turning to substances to resolve their concerns. When the individual has finished their residential short-term treatment, they usually continue their recovery process by going into outpatient treatment, attending meetings, therapy or counseling. Greatly addicted individuals who have a long history of substance abuse will benefit from dwelling at a sober living home after they complete treatment. This will help them solidify their new found sobriety and give them strength and support.
