Facts
- Withdrawal from benzodiazepines or alcohol can result in seizures and worse if not handled in an in-patient setting.
- 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.
- Withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin are similar to that of many opiate-based drugs such as heroin, morphine, Dilaudid, methadone, and codeine.
- 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.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will initially go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is generally uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detoxification services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for individuals who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detox process as easy and safe as possible. The person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detox services, the client will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
