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.
  • Lortab or its generic version hydrocodone/APAP is a medication that is used to treat pain and is only available through a prescription.
  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Opioid and opiate overdoses in the U.S., once almost always heroin-related, are now more commonly as result of abuse of prescription painkillers.

Ruth - Men

Men only drug treatment programs are comparable to standard rehab programs except all the clients are male. These gender specific treatment programs are helpful for men because they are able to share past traumatic memories in an environment where they can feel free of judgment and having to maintain a tough exterior at all times. What drives men to experiment and become addicted to drugs or alcohol is often different than women. The underlying issues that men struggle with when it comes to achieving and maintaining sobriety are also different than women. While attending a men only drug treatment program clients are counseled on these distinct male issues and are given the education they need on how to avoid relapse once they complete the recovery program.
