Facts

  • As heroin leaves the brain and body, users experience withdrawal symptoms, which are often described as feeling like a severe case of flu.
  • Methamphetamine can suppress appetite, to the point of complete malnourishment and dehydration.
  • The onset of alcohol withdrawal symptoms most often occurs within 5 - 10 hours after the last alcoholic beverage is consumed, but can sometimes begin days later.
  • Lower rates of chronic use of marijuana among females may be a result of the social taboo against substance abuse among women.
