Facts

  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • If a regular user of Lortab stops taking Lortab, he or she will experience withdrawal symptoms within six to twelve hours but the symptoms are usually not life-threatening.
  • Sudden cessation after prolonged use or abuse of high doses of central nervous system depressants can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms.
  • Parents who don't understand or consider the risks associated with giving prescription drugs to a teenager or other family member for whom the medication was not prescribed are putting these individuals at risk of adverse affects of prescription drug use as well as dependence and addiction.

Oyster - Women

Drug and alcohol rehab centers for women provide a very good way for female addicts to deal with their addiction issues in an all-female setting. There are many advantages to attending a drug or alcohol rehab facility for women including the fact that such programs cater to issues specific to their female clients. While recovering from addiction in an all women rehab facility the client will also work on personal issues such as problems with their husbands, boyfriends and/or men in general. Most women drug addicts struggle with physical or sexual abuse from their past. Addressing these delicate issues while in rehab will give the recovering woman the ability to confront her problems in an environment that is free of judgment and negativity.
