Facts
- Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
- The most significant increase in prescription drug related emergency visits involve overdosing adults in their twenties.
- LSD is most commonly packaged in squares of LSD-soaked paper called "blotters", miniature powder pellets called "microdots" or gelatin chips called "window pane".
- The THC in hashish is mind-altering, which can change how the brain functions.
Raymond - Hospital InpatientAny person who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient 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 needs this level of care, it is helpful to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to several weeks. Once the hospital inpatient portion of their recovery is finished they may choose to enter a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
