Facts
- Studies indicate that stimulation of opiate receptors as a result of opiate use results in feelings of reward, and activation of the pleasure circuit by causing greater amounts of dopamine to be released within the brain.
- More and more opiate users are turning to sniffing and smoking opiates instead of injection them, because of increased purity and the misconception that these forms of administration are safer.
- Recent research indicates that if a group of men were given a meal and allowed to eat as much as they wanted, alcohol, rather than a non-alcoholic beverage, would increase the amount of food consumed.
- Studies indicate that most individuals who seek treatment and remain in a drug rehab program stop using drugs, decrease their criminal activity, and improve their occupational, social, and psychological functioning.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Any person who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by attending a hospital inpatient rehab program. These types of programs are focused 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 person attempting recovery needs this level of care, it is useful 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 inpatient part of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to enter a sober living program or transfer into an outpatient program.
