Facts
- Research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates activate the brain's reward system causing pain relief, a sense of euphoria and pleasure.
- Magic mushrooms are classified in the U.S. as Schedule I drug, a category which includes heroin and LSD, all drugs which have a high potential for abuse and have no legitimate medical purpose in the United States.
- Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
- The recent high rates of marijuana use among individuals in the U.S. may be attributed in part to the increasing number of states which have approved its use for medical purposes.
Perry, ME. - Criminal Justice ClientsDrug rehabilitation is sometimes a part of a criminal justice clients court sentence. In order to get these individuals the rehabilitation they need, there are some steps that need to be followed before they can enroll into a drug or alcohol treatment center. First, they need to determine if they are eligible for drug rehabilitation while involved in the Perry, Maine criminal justice system. Their case is evaluated by a panel who decides if they are in need of treatment and if so how much and what type is needed. Furthermore, when the client is evaluated for drug addiction problems, the client is also evaluated for mental health problems as well. Severity of addiction, mental health concerns, criminal activity, sentence length and previous treatment history are all determining variables in the creation of a criminal justice rehabilitation plan.
