Facts

  • Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.
  • Methamphetamine may dry mucosa which may then lead to more chafing and abrasions in the genital area, which could make methamphetamine users more susceptible to HIV during sexual activity.
  • Sudden cessation of use of prescription opiates drugs such as morphine, hydromorphone, or oxycodone results in withdrawal symptoms within six to 12 hours of the last dose.
  • Several police officers were recently needed to subdue a Florida man high on Bath Salts who tore a radar unit out of a police car with his teeth.
