Facts

  • 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 a smoker cuts off or greatly reduces tobacco intake, they will often experience nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
  • Older children of alcoholics are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety such as staying in their rooms for long periods of time and not relating to other children, claiming they "have no one to talk to."
  • Over 86% of high school seniors in the U.S. surveyed in 2008 reported that using heroin regularly was a great risk.

Detoxification - Paris, ME.

People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the procedure of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as needed. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can properly oversee and supply medical supervision for people who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services typically include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, supplying proper nutrition and ensuring the individual is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detoxification services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
