Facts

  • 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 of the worst prescription drug withdrawal symptoms documented are for the drug Cymbalta (an anti-depressant), which are sometimes referred to as "nightmare-ish" because of how intense they can potentially be.
  • Instead of disposing of prescription drugs down toilets or drains, prescription drugs should be disposed of in sealed plastic bags with filler such as coffee grounds or kitty litter.
  • Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will most likely be higher.

Adolescents - Porter Ranch

As a parent or guardian the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehabilitation facility is often an overwhelming task. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional treatment in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend an adult drug rehabilitation center. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehabilitation facilities have been developed to focus on adolescents and their specific needs pertaining to drug addiction treatment. Treatment professionals who are experienced in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your child and guide them through their recovery process.
