Facts

  • Valium is grossly overprescribed and doctors are partly responsible for the prescription drug addiction epidemic.
  • Methadone maintenance treatment clinics have been hampered by government regulations that require most patients to come to the clinic a minimum of five days a week, making it difficult for individuals who are taking part in these programs to maintain employment.
  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • When a Vicodin overdose is suspected, emergency medical help should be summoned immediately as it can be fatal.

Hospital Inpatient - Somerville, Massachusetts

An individual who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by attending a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are focused towards making the individual�''s withdrawal and detox as smooth as possible. 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 beneficial to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs commonly last several days to even up to a month. 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.
