Facts
- Short-acting prescription opioids cause a more severe and abrupt drug withdrawal because blood levels of the medication go up rapidly and come down rapidly.
- 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.
- Some addicts who use methadone claim that they experience effects similar to that of other opiates such as heroin, albeit not to the same extent.
- The Drug Enforcement Administration arrested 4,400 individuals in 2002 for crimes related to crack cocaine.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Any person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are geared towards physical health, mental health and medical stabilization. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every drug addict requires this level of care, it is useful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to several weeks. Once the inpatient portion of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
