Facts
- Women who use Ecstasy while pregnant put their fetus at an increased risk of the neurotoxic effects of Ecstasy.
- Methadone users who are pregnant are at risk of premature labor or having a miscarriage if they abruptly stop using the drug, and many women choose to continue using methadone throughout their pregnancy to minimize these risks.
- Methamphetamine produces more extensive and pronounced effects on the brain and central nervous system than cocaine or amphetamine.
- Long-term use of OxyContin often results in tolerance to the drug, causing the user to take higher doses to achieve the same initial effects. This can happen through both legitimate and illicit use of the drug.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab facility is often an overwhelming task. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug rehabilitation center. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehabilitation centers have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific requirements pertaining to substance abuse treatment. Treatment professionals who are trained in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
