Facts
- The effects of fentanyl last only a very short time, so regular users can become addicted very quickly.
- Vicodin overdose can be fatal or result in permanent brain damage if treatment is delayed and a large amount of the drug has been taken, so it is important that individuals get help immediately if it is suspected that they have overdosed.
- When someone drunks alcohol, it goes into their bloodstream where it affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), which controls virtually all body functions.
- Xanax withdrawal if not overseen by treatment professionals can cause delirium, seizures, and grand mal seizures as a result of abrupt withdrawal after only short-term use.
Halfway House - PhelpsA halfway house is an option for a recovering drug addict that is looking for additional support once they have completed a drug treatment program. It is a setting where they can be surrounded by like-minded persons who are going through the same experience they are, recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. When you choose to reside at a halfway house (also known as recovery house or sober living) you will be required to maintain your sobriety. It is common that there will be additional rules that you will need to adhere to in order to maintain your residence at the halfway house. You may be expected to attend recovery meetings and be subjected to random drug tests to confirm your continued abstinence.
